How to make £600 stretch to three months...
...is now a daily worry. Begin to think I should have saved dome of my student loan rather than buy that plasma Tv and three-piece suite (Joke!)
The Truss kindly let me know that I haven't updated in 10 weeks, so I have swiftly trotted forth to record my thoughts and apologise to you all for being such a mediocre poster/LJ friend etc.
I'm now in my fifth month at uni and I'm still loving every minute. As I type, it's nearly 3pm and I'm sitting here in my PJs munching on a bar of chocolate(now that's living!). I'm planning a jaunt at Easter to somewhere fun like Budapest or Romania with flatmates (ignoring current status of bank account seeming the best option).
I spent a few days in Edinburgh with a friend in the New Year and dragged him to the National Gallery. Twas a mistake -upon seeing a Botticelli he yelled, "WHAT! SCOTLAND PAID £11 MILLION FOR THIS THING?", causing us to be followed suspiciously by a security guard for the rest of the afternoon. But reassuring to know that in these day of shock advertising and Celebrity Death Match, something can still surprise Generation X (LOL).
Dundee is great -it's a real working-class town (chav-tastic as they say here). Means that the people are real friendly, if a bit raucious!Men actually do wander round in kilts -it's not a myth! The place really feels like home now -I even attempted to make bread yesterday. Spent five weeks at home over Christmas and mum tried to teach me how to cook. She says that 5 microwave dinners a week is not a good choice, and I'm sure my skin is taking in an orange tinge from all the dye in the food.
Apart from my dire financial situation, dubious diet, and looming twentieth birthday (only eight months away-I may as well retire already!) I'm completely happy with life :) Suspect I sound like an annoyingly smug ass, but remember that I'm having a bad hair decade and have a dodgy Irish accent!
