Hi de hi people!
Well, muchos has been happening, or is about to happen.
Since I updated, Snow Patrol's new album has come out. I have to say, that and the Kooks, (and hopefully Keane's upcoming album) are THE albums of the year. Snow Patrol is gorgeous. Esp tracks 1,3,6 and 7. Can't wait to see them in concert.
I have also chosen my modules for next year. I am doing:
1) English Novels and their settings (TBC)
2) Post Wars US Lit
3) Society and Culture in the British Isles 1500-1750
4) Fictions of Empire
5) History Dissertation
Work is really cool too. Got a Hawaiian night out next friday. Today was funny, because we got bright yellow tshirts and played office games. Good fun all round!
What have I got coming up? Well, it's off to Sheffield tomorrow! I am going to stay for a few days, get away for a bit. Had a pretty hectic few weeks, need a couple of days off to recouperate before exams. I'm sure you can all empathise there!
I go full time at work next week too, which will be cool. Means more money. And more money, means more clothes, which means happy me! lol. I can be so shallow.
Holiday in 6 weeks too. Really looking forward to a bit of sun.
My birthday in 2 and a bit weeks. My Dad is 50 on Monday, which is weird. He's gonna be an old man!
Anyway, I gotta go start packing for tomorrow, so I bid thee all adieu!

"You Could Be Happy"
You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played on lips 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
