My holiday was fun, if not a little wet. Majorca is quite  a strange place as quite literally everyone there speaks English, a lot of the people working in the bars are actually English but work there as a summer job. The amount of Irish there was crazy also, though I think that may have just been the area we were staying in. Went through Magaluf a few times on the bus, Magaluf apparently being THE place to stay if you go to Majorca, but I thought it looked a little run down. It was a nice place to go and stay for the week but wouldn’t be top of my list for places I would like to visit again. I think I prefer to go places where I run the risk of getting my kneecaps shot off, it adds a little more excitement.
I am relieved to be home now though, as nice as it was to get away you still can’t beat the feeling of returning home. And it does feel like home here now too, which makes me happy. Dan and I have been casually mentioning things about the future now, such as moving abroad when I have my teaching qualification and it is starting to feel quite exciting. I like knowing that I have things to work towards. It also looks like I may have a job interview next week for working in an office, so things are starting to look brighter on that front too.
Tomorrow involves a morning of Hollyoaks followed by a trip to see Sex and the City, sounds like a goood day :)

Take the Reins.

I feel like I have done quite a bit today even though I actually haven’t. Work up and got my Jeremy fix, oooh their scummy lives make mine seem so awesome, which I suppose it actually is at the moment. Dragged myself off to get dressed then went up to Uni to go to the library for some holiday reading. Went up to Theology just to check if any of my essays were back and both were and found that I got a 1st for my Narrative essay, I was so happy! hahaha. My best ever mark on my final piece of work back (excluding the dissertation), oh I was a happy woman.
Changed some holiday money and hope I don’t have to take any more out when I am over there because I really can’t afford it. Then came back and wrote and printed my letter to send off to my old primary school for work experience in September. Oh and I packed this afternoon, I feel like I don’t have as much stuff as I should have but I really can’t think of anything that is missing, that has to be a good thing. I think I am comparing it to the amount of stuff I packed for Brazil but then I was there for 8 weeks not just one. I can’t be arsed with all the travelling and stress on the way there tomorrow, I wish I could teleport, life would be so much easier.

Yesterday did turn out to be as boring as I thought it would be, and this afternoon isn’t proving to be any different. I said to Dan earlier that I really couldn’t be bothered to go out tonight but now I will be thankful for it I think, this house is not made of Lols!

It has been quite a hectic two weeks, plus I haven’t had the Internet for a few days which is why I have not updated recently. Glasgow was really awesome, it was partly just good to get away from Shifnal or Nottingham for a few days. I thought it really was a beautiful city, it is a lot older than Birmingham and bigger too (in my opinion anyway, I don’t think that Dan agreed). The university there is pretty spectacular, it made both Nottingham and Birmingham Uni look a bit crappy, hahaha.
Then came the move, it actually wasn’t as stressful as I thought it would be in the end. Everything was moved into the flat in one day and less than a week later it is nearly fully decorated inside. Dan has the job of painting the hall a beautiful banana yellow before I get back from holiday. The only thing that bothers me is the amount of dog hair that gets absolutely everywhere, but I guess that can’t really be helped. Now that all the stuff is there and it is decorated I already felt quite settled in before I left yesterday, this is a good sign. I feel a lot better about it now. Now I just desperately need a job and everything will be alright in the world.

I go on holiday in two days, whey. I am a little apprehensive about going to Majorca, it isn’t the type of place I would usually choose to go on holiday, i.e. it isn’t the type of face I am likely to get shot in the face or step on a landmine or something. But it should be nice and relaxing and the company will be good so I am looking forward to it.
Now I just need to find something to do today and tomorrow, it is just so boring here :/

Amsterdamned!

I had a good 13 hours sleep last night. I think it was needed. Went and had another epic swim this morning so now feel totally exhausted again, it is a good start to the day I think, especially when I don’t really have anything else today. Won’t be swimming tomorrow I expect as we have to be in Nottingham before twelve in order to get the legendary weatherspoons breakfast, mmmmmm. I am going to have mine with cranberry juice, oh I get excited over the simplest things.
I seem to have awoken in high spirits, and that is a good thing. This morning it even occured to me that Evan Almighty was not as  bad as I had first concluded, in fact I actually quite enjoyed it. It was quite clever how the flood came about, I think at the time I was just comparing it too much with Bruce Almighty and that was not wise.

Went and had my mop cut off today. Pretty much just let the hairdresser go wild and do what she wanted. On one side it is now down to about my shoulder and on the other just below my ear. I am quite pleased with it when it is all ruffled up. Plus when there is no stuff in it it feels so soft and fluffy. I hope that when I wake up in the morning it is all stuck up on end like when I had it really short before. I miss it not doing that. OH and I will have to try see if I can get it to go into a mohawk again! Think I am gonna try leave it a few more weeks until I dye it again so my roots are all nice and blonde for my graduation evening other wise they will be starting to look dark again if I was to do it now.

Going to Cat’s for tea in a bit. I wish Helen would hurry up and finish writing, my tummy is rumbling. But saying that I don’t expect we would be eating til about half seven anyways. OOOOOH I am sleepy.
