It was Adam's birthday on Monday so I went home to spend a few days with him. We sat in the garden and giggled and kissed in the sun and it was lovely.
Yesterday we went to stay with his Uncle in York and drank wine and ate pizza in his garden. All of Adam's family are so welcoming and seem genuinely happy to meet me. Adam looked really happy and his cheeks were permanently flushed from laughing.
We slept at the top of the house in the most beautiful white room with beams. It had windows on all sides so when we woke up in the morning all we could see was lightness and blue sky.
I rolled over, put my head in the space between his chin and collarbone, received a kiss on the nose, and went back to sleep.
The sunshine and happiness are keeping me going. One week left.

I finish university in 2 months. I hand my dissertation in in a month. Freaking...out.
I'm on top of my work but am just losing interest/motivation. I have been writing on the same topic for what feels like forever and just want it to be over now. But in the same way I'm going to miss university so much when I graduate. I have a feeling I'll be back.
I need a job soon. Anyone know someone that owns a social research company that will hire me and pay me a shit load of money?
Tillie has cancer. When I was at home I couldn't get over how pretty she is.
My dad is home for three weeks soon. I wont see him though, due to my stupid dissertation.
My loan came in and I'm struggling to stay in control.
Whinge whinge.
I'm living for weekends and that annoys me.

On my desktop I have a news feed application and you can only see the first half of each headline.
One just cropped up that caught my eye:
"800 small dogs seize..."
I clicked on it hoping that this canine army had taken control of Paris or something. How disappointing to find that the ending to that sentence was:
"...d by dog patrol"
Rubbish.
In other news I am going to a fancy dress party tonight, dressed as Princess Peach. I spent all day today making my costume and it is appalling. I look ridiculous. I can't even drink to block it out. Ah well, chain smoking it is! xx

I haven't written in this in ages.
I don't know if I will again.
But, right now, today, I will.
Because I am putting off work.
Lots of exciting things are happening. And they have occurred in an order that has been forgotten. So I'm making my own scale of happening by importance, starting with 'not really'.
-I'm starting to apply for jobs in a month. As in, real grown up jobs. I would like to be more apprehensive/thrilled/anything but I seem to be stuck on disbelief. The end of uni seems so distant. I went to Rob's graduation last week and I couldn't comprehend that that would be me in 6 months. Maybe it's just because of the shock of...
-final year. I had been warned that I would become one of two people: the recluse who panics herself into doing so much work she never leaves the house. Or the person who pretends it isn't happening and goes out far too much. I'm hurtling headlong towards the latter. I have been out far too much, my student loan is a distant memory and the workload is overwhelming. But only if I think about it. Which I'm trying not to.
My research group are lovely though, and I think our project has the potential to be amazing. A month until we hand it in...we should be okay. I also seem to be on track with my dissertation which has shocked me a bit. Maybe I function better as a drunk?
-[save the best until last] My dad, on a whim, applied for a job in France, even though he had no relevant qualifications. And, after three interviews [the last one being in France] he got it! He found out last week that he'd beaten people from all over the world. He starts on the 14th of January. I am so pleased that the dream of moving to France is finally coming true for both of my parents. How I feel when he actually leaves is a different story, but at this moment I am so full of pride and happiness.

My plans for going to the library on Sunday were scuppered by a crippling hangover. So I went today. I still don't like the Information Commons and I like it even less when it is as busy as it was today with SLOW people at every machine.
I decided to be clever this year and photocopy the articles/chapters I needed most this year so I wont have to wrestle for them later on.
I also went to Debenhams because Helen had seen a lingerie model on the wall and thought she looked like me so I went to go check her out. She has blonde hair and breasts...that's about as close as we get. But I also saw some lovely mustard coloured flats in the sale in Oasis and also got a massive bag of candles and some candle holders from Pier, so my trip wasn't totally wasted.
Rob is coming to visit me on Thursday and I'm so excited!
Uni starts tomorrow, I'm kind of looking forward to using my brain again, but I just hope I can stay focused this year. I have a short attention span.

I am having a bad day.
I banged my head on my desk. I have a lump and a headache.
I dropped my sunglasses on the floor, so now I have a pair of £160 sunglasses with fucking scratches on them.
I have more work to do and cannot be faffed.
I have to find £520 quid from somewhere for rent, in a week.
I completely shattered one of my nails and it is now being held together by glue and hope alone.
My thighs are the only part of me that is tanning. I look ridiculous.
I am tired because I couldn't sleep until 4.30 this morning. I couldn't sleep because I am reading The Shining and I scared myself thinking the horrible bath woman was in my room. Hello childhood fears.
I am back to uni in 2 weeks and I still haven't heard if my dissertation subject has been approved by the ethics committee. Fucking rubbish.
BADDDDddd MOOOODDDDDD.
