There goes my blogging resolution huh? Ah well. Life is ridiculously busy right now anyway, I don't have time to blog!
Except now, I am in a 'secret' room (basically one first years don't know about) in the MacRobert building at Uni trying and failing to hit the half way mark of my dissertation. I would be doing fine, except I forgot to bring in the work I did at home yesterday and Friday and so now am trying to work on 'Rebecca' instead so I don't lose time, and let's just say it's not my favourite book of all time. My topic is how romance fiction is antifeminist which honestly is very interesting but it isn't half making me bitter and cynical, especially since I'm going through a break up from a complete douchebag (long story).
But yeah, on the 6th of May it'll be finished, bound, and handed in. And this will all feel like a dream. And I will be so very VERY drunk.
After that I have one submission for Creative Writing and that'll be all my coursework finished. I have no exams for this term so that will be me finished Uni forever. It's such an odd feeling. My friend Jenn was telling me she was looking through photos of us in 1st year and we look so different. So young and naive. It seems strange to say that I know, it was only 3 years ago, but when I sat down and thought about everything that has happened since I got very overwhelmed and proud of both me and my friends who have been there since the beginning. It's so sad that the end has come, even though we've been wishing for it for ages. I just think it's the goodbyes I don't want to deal with. My friend Jenn and I see each other pretty much everyday, we feel odd if we don't speak one day, and we send each other 'night night' BBMS. It may seem strange but it's just us. She's moving home to Newcastle at the end of May and as much as I know we will always be friends it's really bumming me out that we will no longer be living in the same city. My flatmate Reah, too, is moving to Malta with her parents this summer. She says she's just going for a holiday to see how she likes it but I honestly don't think she'll come back. As much as I'm sure I get on her nerves I love living with her. Our disturbing and odd conversations are the best way to end the days. It's going to be very strange. Alex has gotten a permanent job as a graphic designer in Nottingham too, which I am SO proud of her for, but she leaves next week, and I don't really want her to go.
I know, I know. Life moves on. We all go our own separate ways at some point. But whilst I'm the oldest out of my closest friends (bar Claire) I can't help but feel the least ready to deal with these changes. But that's getting too deep and personal.
I'm having trouble finding a job for after uni. My current plan is to stay in Aberdeen with a 6 month lease with my friend Kenny (YAY!!!) after my current one ends in July and do a TEFL course. I've heard a lot about CELTA being better but as I am not completely sure if I want to do this as a career yet I'm not going to part with £1000 for it. Then hopefully I'll be able to find some sort of job abroad, just for a few months, and then Jenn and I are going to trek around India for a month. And then it's one of my best friend's weddings in July 2012 which I am SO excited for. But after that? Who knows. It sounds silly and very adolescent but I know who I want to be with, and be with after all this is finished, I'm just waiting for him to sort his head out and figure out if he wants the same. But that's another story too.

ANYWAY
Exciting things coming up:
I turn 22 on Wednesday and my lovely friends and I are going for a picnic in the park and playing rounders, then going for a few drinks. SO EXCITED! I may be turning 22 but I may as well be turning 12 again. Even my friend Layla is coming which I'm really excited about.

6th of May = dissertation hand in + shots.

11th-13th June = ROCKNESS!!!!! Reah has a tent her room but I still don't think she's bought her ticket yet. Not gonna lie, little bit antsy.

13th- 20th June = Grandaddy visit :) I hardly ever see him so it'll be lovely. My dad's taking us all down to Edinburgh for a few days too.

5th of July = GRADUATION DAY!!!!!!

6th of July = Graduation ball!!!! Must remember to go to the gym.

After all that, who knows. After all my deadlines I am going to start doing some freelance writing, cause through all this confusion I know that is definitely something I want to do.

As rambly as the post has been, it's all good in the hood :)

My tattoo is very scabby...

These past few days have been so surreal and yet so amazing. Saturday night was spent at Moopilicious' house, drinking copious amounts of wine, watching High School Musical and reminscing about how good it was to be young and drunk. Even though we didn't spend our young and drunk days together I feel like I've known her pretty much my whole life. It's been a whirlwind friendship I suppose you could say.
Then the Sunday was spent unpacking and having sentimental moments in my bedroom. I found the first thing I ever bought at Green Heaven too, a wee bracelet that says 'le chat'. If I'd known then I would be working there now I'd have laughed! I never saw this coming.
Monday was gym day with Reah after a lovely lunch in Ellon with my mum and sister. Except Reah and I didn't actually do much gym-ing! We got lost on the way there and then were told that we needed to have an induction in order to actually work out. So next Wednesday WILL be the start of the gym sessions! And I swear to god, by the end of this summer I WILL be where I want to be. I already feel like I've lost some weight. Well I know I have, my apple dress fits again, which greatly pleased me when I was wearing it today. Anyway Monday night I majorly exercised my liver at Quids. It was very messy! I also found out that night that my twenty two year old sister was getting drunk in the local park whilst I was sitting in a pub with my bestests. Sherer was out too! I really missed that boy (he's my old flatmate for all of you who don't know me) so it was good to see him. I love the Bobbin, I was so unbelievably drunk by last orders and even though I couldn't really speak the barman STILL served me two double vodkas! Madness! And as far as I know the whole night ended with tequila and texting my ex-boyfriend. Not the wisest of moves. I was NOT proud of myself the next morning!
Tuesday doesn't exist as I was too hungover to be aware of anything.
And today I was in a deliriously happy mood, though realised I have limited bullshit tolerance for idiots who come into Green Heaven. I know I'm no expert on body jewellrey, but at least I have some common sense when it comes to it! Though I bought a gorgeous new bag and got new shoes with Reah's discount. So life is good.

That's about all I have to say really. I have a feeling in 10 days time I will have a love story for all you readers though :)

Deep question of the day- would you rather live without love or money and why?

Love love
