(no subject)
It's been such a long time since I've written here. Usually, I just don't know what to say. And when it's been a long time it's hard to know what to write.
It's summer now, the last real summer holiday I'll ever have! This time next year I will probably be looking for a job (or, if I'm really lucky, at work). I'm looking for a job at the moment, actually, but not terribly industriously. I can't quite face going round everywhere with a pile of CVs just at the moment. I have been looking on the internet, though it's not terribly encouraging.
Today I feel terribly drained. Most of the things I've done in the last couple of days have been housework related (I have washed a LOT of clothes) - which makes you feel very productive at first, but now I want to do other things. Unfortunately, most of my other options involve spending lots of money. But I am meeting Marc at the pub later on! So that is something.
It seems very strange that we're already almost a month into the holiday. I went home to Edinburgh soon after it started, and soon after that I went to Tenerife with my parents for two weeks. I find it hard to deal with being with my parents for too long these days. They get on my nerves a lot, and it's not like they're even doing anything really to make me feel justified in being annoyed with them. Anyway, Tenerife was nice, very hot, and sunny nearly every day, and I got lots and lots of sleep and read lots and lots of books. It seems a long time ago now, somehow. After we got back, I stayed in Edinburgh for a few days. I was looking forward to it, as usually I love Edinburgh: it has this atmosphere, hard to explain, but it's a great place. This time I didn't manage to really roam around much though. Everything just seemed a little off somehow.
I did meet up with some friends from school though: Vikki, Robyn, Kendra, and Amy came for a little bit too. I was good to catch up.
Now I'm back in Sheffield, and feeling at a bit of a loose end, though I know there are lots of things I could (should) be doing. I'm looking forward to Tuesday, when Lottie's got a day off, so I can have some company! And we can spend some time together.
So far I've tidied up my bedroom a lot, though there is still a way to go, and I've done washing, and baked cookies, and started making a scale drawing of my bedroom so I can figure out where to move my furniture around to (getting a new, bigger bed!). I think perhaps this evening I will set up a new calender for Conservation, and think about the bag I want to make out of an old velvet jacket of mine. Just now, however, I am off to the pub.
