today, I just cannot be arsed. Sorry.

My flatmate, Sara, did the nicest thing for me today. She woke me up with a mug of green tea. Bless her! I love her to bits. It was the nicest way of being woken up....it certainly got me off to a good start. Of course, the rest of the day was pretty mundane.....classes and the like...but,still, I must admit, getting off to a good start is always pleasant....hooray for Sara! She most certainly gave me reason to smile today : )

hooray!the internet has arrived at 7ep!!!!Hooray!!!I can't stop saying Hooray! I am officially connected...i am so happy right now.I think I'm going to have a drink to celebrate.....and Im going to have an apricot brandy and 7up.....cos,by a stroke of rare fortune, vic and sarah (who came to visit me in spore this summer) gave me a bottle of apricot brandy this afternoon to remind me of the night i took them to zouk for mambo jambo....awrite,things are looking good.peas out.

not fitter,not happier,not productive,still drinking too much.

My package from Amazon finally arrived today...what was supposed to take 7-9 working days took 2 bloody weeks.....it almost makes you lose faith in humanity, situations like these.
Anyhow, inside were a visual anthropology book which looks thoroughly intimidating and a kid loco cd. It almost felt like christmas this morning as I came down the stairs and saw that lovely brown package lying there, waiting for me (even though I did buy it with my own,no,my parents' money)....ahhh...the joy! The Kid Loco cd is nothing short of amazing...it makes me want to weep,such is its brilliance (my,I'm full of adjectives today,aren't I?!)...it's called a grand love story and I recommend it to anyone who needs some good choonage....Hurrah!!

Have been making an effort of sorts to get my life back into order.....basically,I've been taking short loan books out every night in order to force myself to get up early every morning to return the books to the library. This has resulted in me being well knackered by the time it gets to about 10pm...my word,if this is how I'm going to feel every night if I get up at abt half 9 every morning, then I'm most definitely not looking forward to a 9-6 job...*yikes*
By the way, the national Scottish Football team is utter pish and it just makes me embarrassed to live here when I watch them play....their 1-1 draw with Moldova was just painful to watch.....

The week just gone by has been a tremendous strain on all my faculties....I feel like I've been put thru a grinder and badly pasted back together...my head,my heart,my pocket,my body....all of it is in a mess....I am however,attempting to take steps to get my life back on track?trek?....it won't be easy but it is definitely do-able....please cross those fingers. *Tim is going to need it*

I've just survived what was possibly the longest weekend ever....after 2 hours of fitful sleep on friday night,I woke up and got into Sara's car with Bec and Fi and got driven to Edinburgh Airport by Sara (this girl is an absolute legened!)...we got on a plane and flew to Birmingham Airport where we were met by family friends of Leon's and then driven another hour to Evesham (where Leon lived)..we then proceeded to consume copious amounts of coffee and cigarettes for the next few hours before going to the catholic church across the street an hour before the service started so as to guarantee seats for ourselves. The service itself was heart-wrenching. Thank goodness Alex brought an entire loo roll along cos I had to keep reaching down to tear pieces off for my messy face. After the service,we were whisked off to the funeral to watch Leon's coffin get lowered into the ground. This was by far the most painful part of the day for many of us. We each said our final goodbyes to Leon silently, throwing white roses or handfuls of soil into his grave. Anyway, to cut a long and painful story short, the rest of our stay there went very smoothly. Much thanks must be given to the family and friends of Leon who acted with grace and dignity and made our stay there as comfortable as possible. Leon, one fine day the rest of us are going to party with you again. May you rest in peace mate.

It's friday and I'm going to have me an early night tonight. We've got to wake up ultra early tomorrow to be able to get to edinburgh airport for 6 am.....it's going to be a bag of emotions (mainly sad ones) down south tomorrow as we pay our respects to our dearly missed Leon....on another note,my head feels so cloudy,like I've been living in a perpetual daze the past few weeks...all the booze ain't helping either...looks like I've fallen into that pit again....I've got to make a concerted effort next week to exercise.Wish me tonnes of luck.I will need it.
