So, I'm currently sat in Paul's study whilst he has his last lesson of the day. He cooked lunch for me, and though thanks to the buses I was only here for about half an hour before he had to disappear off, I haven't laughed so much in ages! It feels so wonderful to be at home and to be seeing him. I was sat on the train last night (having stunk my carriage out eating pasta and then sushi ^^) being all contemplative about how that last exam yesterday (which was...blah) was the effective end of university. It's the end of me working me tits off for three years, reading hieroglyphs, pissing about in lectures with Becs, Laura, Cate and Jo. And the sun was shining on the hills as the train went past them, and I actually got really sad and had to stop myself from crying. I'm going to miss university so much.
I'll miss living with my three crazy ladies who make even the worst day of your life worth getting up for, who never fail to make me laugh or put a smile on my face, who'll let me get excited about X-Files and David and 24 and Angelina even though they don't really care, who'll fangirl over so many things with me, who cheer me up and cuddle me when I'm down, who come and watch crazy German forensic scientists dissect people with me (...or is that just Becs?), who'll watch wierd programs about plastic surgery and penises with me (...Becs again?!), who'll stay up late watching crazy German infomercials just to see if we get the crazy Smoke Free one that we kept getting last year, and who'll climb in the kitchen cupboards just for a laugh and play swizzy-chair games in the hall. You guys rock, you really do. I love all three of you, and I'm going to miss you so so much. I know it's not all over yet and we are going to have such a great laugh next week, but now the exams are over and that part has gone, it's really dawning on me!
And it's not just those three, there are so many of you that I may never see again. I had to say bye to Clare yesterday after the exam - I'll never see her again, a fact we both realised whilst hugging lots. Jo, Simon, Tim (my big brother!), Kev, Emma, Chloe, Laura, Ian, Marianne...there's so many of you! You've all made uni so fun and I can't believe I might never see you again when I've seen you all so frequently this year! Hopefully if I do end up back in Liverpool, some of you will still be around...
So yes, I got sad on the train yesterday thinking about you lot. But now I'm home for the weekend I can concentrate on other things and try to cheer up! I've got to wrap Bec's and Laura's pressies for next week, tonight Paul and I are going to go to the pub, and then tomorrow I have to help him find a suit for his leaver's ball (I've been waiting for this moment for years - I will get photos guys!) before we head back year for the Nelson's annual Eurovision gettogether. Basically they make really nice food, friends come round, we drink, and have a hysterical time watching the Eurovision song contest. I never realised it could be so much fun! Monday I'm going to go and get the last part of Bec's pressie from Meadowhall and do some shopping with Paul after his first exam, and then I'll go back up to Liverpool on Tuesday.
Oooh and good news guys - Paul's family is coming up to Liverpool next weekend to visit their friends (you know, the ones who live by Carnatic). Paul is going to come up a day early so he can come to Modos on my bday day in the evening, and he'll be around on your bday Becs for the meal and whatnot. He prob still can't come on Saturday because his family will be up by that point, and he actually has to, y'know, go and socialise with the friends he's supposed to be up there visiting! I glomped him when he told me about an hour ago and got stupidly excited. You shall see him one more time yet!
leaving,
