Meh
Well, once again I'm updating when I'm at home. Stubbington is good, I like it here, even though my parents really wound me up yesterday. Never mind, I can get used to not doing anything right... I used to be okay with that... I can be again.
I got to the train station nearest my home at half 3, got picked up by my dad (how rare). At about 5ish we had to leave, to go to Netley for my brother's 'Attestation' for the Police Force. Basically he had to be in his dress uniform, and then had to read out a statement confirming his intentions to uphold the law fairly etc, for the Queen and the country etc. Then he signed stuff in front of a magistrate, and got given his warrant card. It means that he can now make arrests... but he's only had 5 days training!! How scary is that? He did look really good with all the different parts of his uniform (dress uniform, street uniform, body armour, 'asp' (truncheon), handcuffs etc). Everyone was proper proud. It was nice. His girlfriend Sian was there, as well as Mark and Gavin, two of his friends. Gav was in his 'Special' Uniform, cos he's a volunteer policeman. He turned out to be more legendary than I remembered him being before. Mark is still a drip. Not much fun. And Sian is lovely.
Fastforward through Friday to Saturday afternoon, I went to see my friend Becki, who just had a baby. Baby Ben is 3 weeks old, looks loads like his dad Stuart, and is SO lovely. He really is cute. I held him for ages and he fell asleep on me and everything... it was really good. Left Ben with Stuart and went out for a while with Becki. I get the impression that fewer people are going around to see her now, and she's a bit lonely, with Stuart out at work. Think she was glad to get out for a while. It was a really good few hours. Will go back to see them in Easter, if not before.
So today... I still have loads of work to do, so I guess i'll do that... but don't want to. Feel a bit crap, but not really sure why. Have had the same headache for 4 days, which doesn't impress me too much, naturally. And I'm tired, but I don't know why... Hmm... Not much bothered tho!
Not looking forward to coming back to Cardiff tomorrow... just can't see how it's going to be worth going back to. I mean, Guy Bwadley gave me my module marks from January, and I did pretty good. I was surprised and pleased, but even saying that, I can hear in my head something saying "you were pleased, but you know you want them 1-2 marks higher, and you'll have to work harder... you know you will". How irritating it is to have such boring, sensible inner voices. Where is my inner-crazy?!
But enough of that, catcha guys sometime, probably too soon! xx
