Heylo,
I'm illllll. I think the post exam stress cold has appeared - too many late nights, early mornings, and hard work.
Wednesday (the day of my last exam) was a laugh, went to Rev and Puro that night for the 90's night...got drunk and danced to some right tunes...god I loved the 90's. Very funny night. Met some nice boys who danced with us a while, gonna meet up with them soon...nice to meet new people.
Went to Matt's thursday, then Friday was the uber-night out...started at 5pm, worked through the Otley Run pubs, ate in La Cafetiere on the way, then went to the Dock and Star. Lots of dancing, wasn't too drunk but got in around 4am....eek lol...
I worked at 8am Saturday after 3 hrs sleep - not fun. I was shaking! Surprised Matt on Saturday too, well, i tried tom by going to his whilst he was still at work. But he called whilst i was on the bus and caught me out. we went to Tesco, made a nice stir fry for tea, then booked London - managed to get three nights in a hotel in Victoria (nr. Big Ben etc) for about £220, including rail travel...not bad at all! Booked a tour of Westminister Abbey, the changing of the guard, and Buckingham Palace too.
Sunday I worked at 8am, despite really really wanting to sleep in...was awful leaving Matt'sbed. Wasn't a massively busy shift however, and I escaped at 12. Felt uber-tired, i just hadn't caught up with sleep since the Friday/Saturday fiasco, and being the bank holiday, I'd get to sleep in with Matt Monday morning if i went back to his. Think Viki and Jane wanted me to go out, but if i had gone out i;d have ended up coming home at about 10pm...tooo tired.
Came back home Monday to go with V + J to meet Rhi at the station, then we went to Viki's brothers, arsed about then went to Barracas, a sheesha place that does a £5 all you can eat buffet - such nice food, veggie currie, potato salad, rice, pitta bread...very nice. Met Rachel and Laura in the bar later on, then got a relatively early night.
Tuesday was Alton Towers - set off at 8.30am as we had to go via Derby to pick Adam and Lauren up. Adam had come from home and Lauren had randomly been in Wales so Derby was the only option really. Got to AT by about 11.30 and had a fab day...did pretty much everything bar Air which had a huge queue. I even did Oblivion - i'll go on anything but Oblivion always scared me - and felt so chuffed with myself! It was really good actually. Also managed to get on Rita Queen of Speed, the new one, which has the launch like the Hulk in I of A but instead of 0-60, it does 0-100 - ridiculously fast! But brilliant.
However, as the day went on i got more and more of a cold, sneezing etc, and by the time we got home I was tired and quite ill. Viki and Jane really wanted me to go out though, so i pro-plussed it and took some paracetamol, and we went to Spoons. It was ok, i was constantly blowing my nose (sexy) but by the time we were heading to Courtyard i felt ok and was up for a night out - then Viki and Jane announced they were really tired and we went home at 1. I was a bit annoyed...in the car on the way home i mentioned being tired and ill and maybe staying in, and got absolutely berated by everyone, then the second Viki and Jane said they were tired we just left. Well, they were gonna leave by themselves but then it would have just been me and Lauren, not enough for a night out.
I woke up yesterdat feeling absolutely awful - cancelled meeting Andy as i just couldn't leave the house. Tried to get on with things but in the end Matt picked me up and took me to his to look after me...part of me didn't want to leave Viki and Jane *again* but i was ill and useless and just needed to be mothered i think. Spent all afternoon in bed, had fish and chips and generally recovered.
This morning i felt soo much better. I'm still snivelly and my nose is sore, but I dont feel as fucked as yesterday. Working tonight 6-10, well, i'm meant to, might re-evaluate depending on how I feel. Working an 8 hr shift on Saturday, if i'm gonna call in sick on any day it'll be then.
Started packing yesterday - well, did clothes etc. Need to do some more today really. Plus need to do the kitchen, we have to clean or we'll be charged...intend to leave a very nasty note about the vacuum however as it picks up fuck all and we obviously wont be able to hoover well.
Saturday is it - no more Clarence Dock. Very odd thought. However recently i've really missed Matt and so 3 months will him will be great.
Anyhow, gonna watch tv...
Sam xxxx
