Ticking Time

Uni life is now totally over. I moved home on Thursday. I feel like I should have been sadder, but as I left it just felt like I was going home for a few weeks or something. I said goodbye to my housemates and drove off down the road with my dad. Three years and a lot of good times later, it's all finished. I think it'll hit me in the summer when I'm home from Spain for a bit. I already don't feel like I can lounge around in bed all day like I did at uni. I have to get up and do stuff.

I feel like I've got a countdown timer ticking away the time until Spain. I really am looking forward to it, but I wish I had a bit more time. Thursday night my friend stayed over, yesterday I took her to get her tattoo, went shopping, had another friend over for dinner, today I'm sorting things out for moving house/Spain, maybe seeing a friend later, seeing my dad tomorrow, seeing friends and going out Monday, Tuesday will be last minute packing/being hungover and I go Wednesday. I just want a full day of doing nothing :( But I guess I'd rather be doing this and rushing around before going away, than not going away at all.

I'm in one of those situations, you know where you agree to something and then wish you hadn't? It's like that and I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to let the person down, but I don't thinks it's really the best idea... I'm too nice to be mean and back out, but at the same time the thought of doing it makes me so scared. Ahhhh. What to do. It isn't me thinking about backing out of Spain by the way, it's something tonight/tomorrow. And now I'm one of those annoying people who speaks all cryptically. HELP.

I'm off to have lunch and mull over my options. Why am I so bad with situations like this. It should be simple.

Dissertation is FINISHED

FINALLY! After what feels like forever, my dissertation is finished! All I need to do now is print and bind it tomorrow, then hand it in. I feel like I could keep editing it forever, but I decided that enough was enough and just to leave it. Then it took me about 3 years to work out how to do all the page numbering but I got there in the end.

So now it's just everything else to do... But 5 weeks tomorrow I will be getting on the plane and heading off to Spain for 8 weeks. It's just the beginning of lots of exciting things! I'm not going to lie, I am now pretty scared about flying off to Spain to live with strangers. I wish I could skip out the meeting them part and go straight to when I'm a bit settled and know what I'm doing. Just the first couple of days. Ahhhh scary! But I guess being a bit scared is good sometimes. Makes life more exciting.

On a bit of a side note and I'm sorry to write about boys (when do I start referring to them as men? I'm 22 now but I still feel like I'm too young to say I'm interested in men?) again but the friends I always thought I could rely on for being single with me have found themselves love interests. Hello loner. It's not that I want a boyfriend, it would be totally impractical right now, but I don't want anyone else to have them either. All I get is the creeps/ones with girlfriends. MY TURN FOR NICE BOY. Seriously though, I have the worst luck. Always thinking maybe one day... but why do all my friends get nice ones and not me grrr. /end of rant.

I'm giving myself a couple of days off uni work and then it's back to the library. Boring. Not long to go now though!

I've had a busy week (for me) and neglected my blog. Not that any one care ha, but I want to try and keep it up to date, even if it is only ever me that reads it!

So last week was a blur of essay writing and gin mojitos (not a good idea if you have a family meal to go to the next day and don't want to be throwing up until 20 minutes before you have to leave...) but I had fun. Caught up with some old friends and had a good (if slightly embarrassing) night out. Then the weekend passed in a haze of chocolate eating (Easter egg went all in one go, oops) and wine drinking, ending in another night out which I left at 1am. I'm not hardcore enough for late night any more!

My little brother moved down south today. A long way, 7 hours driving to be precise. I was a good sister and made "brunch" for him before he left. Even gave him a hug, and I am not a hugger. I'm not a big fan of touching people at all actually, bit weird I know. My mum got a bit teary eyed last night about her babies "flying the nest". Not sure why though, I moved to uni nearly 3 years ago, older brother hasn't lived at home for 7 years and little bro moved out 6 months ago... but hey, nice to know she cares, right? I probably won't see little bro until August now. I didn't see loads of him before, but we used to have pizza nights quite often and I'll miss that.

I was sat thinking the other day and it hit me how much I have to do in the next 6 or so weeks. On top of all my uni work I have to move out of my uni house, get everything ready for going to Spain and pack up my room at home because we're moving while I'm away. It doesn't sound a lot now it's written down but if you saw my rooms you would know why I am worried. After I've written this I'm going to start sorting a few bits. HOW DO I HAVE SO MUCH STUFF?! After moving house 10 times (not including uni houses) you'd think I'd have got rid of all the rubbish I cart around with me. But no. It's all there hiding under my bed and in cupboards.

I hit 10,000 words on my dissertation today. Woo. Now there isn't much I can do till I see my supervisor. Hoping I only have about 1000 left to do till I'm done! 2 and a bit weeks till the deadline so I'm feeling good. Need to get on with all the other work I have to do now though. Just read through the questions for one of my assignments. We have to pick one of 6. Easy I thought, surely there would be one I knew how to do? Nope. Not a clue. My own fault for missing so many classes. Is it bad that I don't really care any more? Just want to finish.

I can now say I GO TO SPAIN NEXT MONTH. Yay! That's as long as the family don't suddenly cancel or something, which knowing my luck, probably could happen. Loan day on Monday so I'll be booking flights. EXCITED.

I'm off to empty some boxes and sift through all the crap I've carried around with me since I was about 10. Wish me luck.
