not enough hours in the day.
Jane *loved* the house, as we knew she would.
We assigned rooms (picking names out of hat)and it resulted in everyone being happy, but Lauren (who decided last minute not to come) kicked off because she wasn't there when we picked. Wants to pick again, even though its not a room thing apparently. And in anycase, it made sense the way it all worked out, with viki and luaren in the bassment together (as the smokers) and a convenient door in Lauren's room for her to smoke out of.
We'll see what happens. But quite adamant to stand my ground.
Had the week off work,by which i mean i didn't call for any shifts, largely as i was fed up, due to start at the Holiday Inn on Monday and had a lot of work on....so it was a productive week.
Wednesday....Adam and Jane announced their couple-dom. Basically the Adam/Jane issue in my last entry was the limbo they were in....acting like a couple but not being a couple, due to Adam's reluctance to take a risk...me and Viki worried about Janey, as she really liked him and we could see her getting hurt.
But it fixed itself.
They are now official. It sounds weird when you say it out loud, but generally, its just a natural progression from they way the were beforehand...and they both seem happy. Jane especially. I'm glad its all sorted out, and they are undeniably cute together!
Thursday I was ploughing through reading for my interpol essay.....the principle of non-intervention and humanitarian intervention. Its quite interesting...
Thursday night was our sole night out of the week...Spoons and Wire. Good night. lots of bad alcohol drunk (Jagermeister, long island iced tea etc) and lots of dancing...also lots of jane and adam copping off but that was just a bit amusing.
In my drunken wekaness i shared a pizza with Viki, argh! It was good though.
Friday was meant to be an uber productive day, only I had a coffee date with Andy and my intentions to rise early to do work were thwarted by a hangover. Oh dear. It was a nice day however - we sat outside a Costa just off Briggate, he came to mine for a while and we generally had a nice catch up.
Friday night me and Viki resolved to get some reading done, and we managed ok til about 10 o clock...when the Charlotte Church show took over. Then we watched Closer...which sent me into a kind of paranoid fritz...its basically about infidelity, which you assume you have some intention over, some control....but in the film, well, it was all too easy to fall into an affair, fall in love with someone else...it was a bit scary. You truly can never judge whats going to happen to you.
Saturday I finally got to see Matt (after more reading) and we finally went to see his sister. After the Christmas/New Yr Jordan fiasco, the argument Sara and Matt had over an outstanding debt (he was owed £100, she was out shopping) and the added complication that they've moved to Driglington (I tell you what, i might have a kid and live on the social...her house is gorgeous! Or rather 'their' house. Jordan's playing illegal tenant again. It'll all blow up in her face), we'd just not seen each other for ages.
Was a nice night though, went to te Painter's Arms. It was karioke, couldn't help myself lol...went back to matts, got deliciously stoned then remenisced to before we were 'us'...odd to think how far we've come as a couple...so much went wrong before we finally got our act together!
On Sunday, for the first time in a long time, we managed to have a lazy morning in bed...kinda went cup of tea, sex, Hollyoaks, sex, thought of 'we should get up'...sex. Not a bad way to start your sunday!!
Went to see mum, then went home...too much work to do..still. Was sad to leave Matt so soon, but in a week and a half i move back in to his again, so...its not too bad.
Monday i got up at eight, determined to start my interpol essay before slimming world. Got about 1500 words done then went to SW to discover a pound loss - thats 5 in 4 wks now! Was impressed. Skipped Image Therapy to go to the market for fruit and eat before work at three.
Work was fab. Loved it. Have appeared to find equivalent of New Inn. Everyone was so lovely, it was so nice to work a 4 hour shift (with dead set finishing times - even a late shift (ending at eleven, not late at all) has a swopover. No cleaning for me!). Working 6-10 tonight and not phased at all.
Today has been the usual...got all my books out for the Britpol essay due next tue. The interpol essay is due on mon...i reckon if i really focus and prioritise i can get both finished to a good standard on time. Then its all over and no more stress!!
Got a personal tutor meeting today...going to ask about placements in London in 3rd yr.
We talked about class today in Britpol. Apprently being in Uni upgrades you to middle class. But like i argued in the seminar, just because you upgrade doesn't mean your family, friends, husband etc do too...so i do think that i'll always have my working class roots. I'm kinda proud. I've done just as well academically, maybe even better, than those born into a middle class family...i can achieve just as much. There's a sense that you achieve more...its not all just expected, offered on a plate.
Right, off to a britpol lecture.
