Sorry I haven't updated in a while but RL has been pretty hectic lately and I don't get much time to go on my own comp as, being back from uni, I've gone back to work and I'm hardly ever at home as from work I go round Jahan's...beats spending time with the stepdad lol, he's a nightmare.
Got my exam results last week and I'm now officially a second year, woot! still have 2 exams to sit as well as they were postponed due to all the AUT strikes earlier this year, thankfully that's all sorted now though and people can hopefully graduate without too many problems. Will be sitting my Japanese and American Studies exams in August sometime now I think, just have to wait for the dates to be sent to me.
The weather this week has been amazingly hot, so hot you can't really think straight lol and it would be fantastic if only I wasn't working :( it's made even worse with the fact that we have no air-conditioning in our shop as it's broke. They say it's "fixed" so that they don't have to give us free drinks and fans and extra breaks anymore, but there is no way at all it's been fixed, it's like working in hell and the customers get even more ratty because of it :S
I got a new PC a few weeks ago, I was getting sick of my slow laptop so thought I'd treat myself to an uber computer instead :D Jahan put it all together for me and it only cost £550 overall. I now have 2 250gb hard-drives plus my 250gb external hard-drive and the computer is just brilliant I love it so hopefully from now on I'll be on the comp and updating more. Another big expenditure this month (well yesterday) is buying the first 4 seasons of Smallville on DVD. They were on offer in the place where I work, £25 each and I get 12.5% discount as well so I couldn't resist. I've only ever seen a few episodes but I know causette really likes it and one of my friends at work said it's fantastic so I thought I'd start myself off from the beginning :D probs wont get time to watch them until September when me and Jahan go back down to uni but that's because I'm not allowed to do anything in my own home unless my stepdad says so.
Jahan's mam and dad have finally been invited round my house for tea...we've only been going out for 3 years, lmao. But my stepdad is an arsehole and doesn't like Jahan cos he's going out with me and so he didn't want to meet his parents either. Hopefully it will go ok but I've been relegated to sitting in the other room like a naughty little child...how bad is that? didn't think he'd stoop so low but he's always surprising with how low he's willing to go to put me down. Just hoping he doesn't offend Jahan's parents too much as he loves upsetting people with his comments and I think of them in pretty much the same way as my mam and they treat me like their daughter too, they've been so good to me over the years so hopefully Peter wont spoil it all.
Well, I suppose I'd better get going as I'll have to be setting off for work in a sec. It's gorgeous outside, hottest day of the year here and I have to work for the best part of it (12.30-5.30) oh well, it will be cooler once I get out of work but hopefully the sun will still be shining like it is now :D Hope everybody else is ok and I'll try catch up with my flist later on
