SPICE GIRLS

so, I'm going to see the Spice Girls, with a friend, on Wednesday 9th January. *BOUNCEBOUNCE*

However, I also have one ticket for Sunday 6th January. It's £86 (what I paid for it, from Ticketmaster), and on the O2 arena floor - a decent seat.

Any takers?

Paris

I'm moving tomorrow... not nervous or anything, I've been through the excited stage, and through the nerves, and now I'm just... going. Y'know, no feelings about it either way. Except a strong feeling that I'm gonna be very lonely till uni starts and I can get to know some people...
However, one of my long-lasting school friends has just moved to Nantes... so she's coming over on Monday for the day, cause it's a couple of hours on the train... help me get through some of the paperwork and stuff like that which I'm really appreciating, because it will a)stop me being lonely and b) be such a help, cause she's just been through all the setting up banks and phones...

So, um. Yeah... come and visit me. I'll take you to see the Eiffel tower (you can't miss it, it's right over the road from my nearest metro station)

Mixed feelings

Paris.

exciting, mostly. Scary, a lot. I'm scared (believe it or not) of these kids... 12 hours a week is a lot of time to spend with them. What if I don't come up to scratch? What if they hate me? What if I hate them? What if it means I can't do anything social, or dancing or anything like that?

Paris. Exciting. Definitely exciting. I'm glad I've got a couple of weeks at the start of the year to get to know it before the term starts properly.

Much stuff to do, half of it I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing, things like learning agreements... Paris 7 seem to be spectacularly disorganised, or at least their geography guy does. The lady in the European Office is actually pretty good.

And I think I'm going to get lonely... very lonely. Especially if (as expected) I'm lacking in internet access... I better find some dancing at least, I guess, or I don't know what I'll do.

Yes, mixed feelings, definitely.

woohoooo

we have internet.

On the other hand, my life went mad in the last few days, but I think it's about sorted now...

and we have the internet

offline

Moving tomorrow (thursday)

Giz and I will be offline at home for however long it takes us to get the internet sorted out (hopefully not long).

Will be checking email daily though...

packing

I have come to a conclusion.

Giz and I have far too much stuff.

I've absolutely no idea how I'm going to pack it all, but I guess I'll get it done somehow.

We're moving on Thursday. New flat, all to ourselves... yay! No more irritating housemates (OK, there's only one irritating housemate and I'll miss the others...). No more hassling people for bill money... more than one room to live in.

I can't wait.

suitably told off

Feeling suitably told off by Sofie, I thought I'd post. I am, along with various friends and housemates, currently in a state of waiting for results and enjoying the freedom of not constantly feeling like we should be revising. Lots of stuff has been going on, some good, some bad. But mostly, life is ok.

Lacklustre

I seem to stop being involved. Somehow, part of me wants to be involved with this, and with Deviantart, and with other sites out there, and parts of me don't care, or can't be bothered, or whatever... and they're the parts that seem to be winning at the moment. I have a huge list of pictures to comment on on Devart, but somehow I just never have the inspiration for what to say about them. All I use the net for these days is work, the news, and keeping up with friends. I don't know if that's good or bad...

Home

It's official. I'm home, and it's cold. If it wasn't for Giz and Uni, I wouldn't be home, I'd still be in that nice 39 degree heat and down at the beach in Perth...

I had a hot Christmas. It was lovely. Hope y'all had a nice Christmas too

3am...

I can't remember the last time I was awake at 3am. Funny that, I used to be up late quite regularly, although I suppose 3am was late even for me. Still, it's been handy in some ways... I sort of got Christmas sorted out, with Liz - I now need to ring Laraine and Tim, see if they can fit in as well. So that was a good thing. Plus, I got to talk to Joel, which was nice. Although he does seem to have run off again now.. oh well. 's been a good day today. In fact, 's been a good weekend. I got to see my sister and Carole before they went off on the grand trip to the USA... I'm really hoping it goes well! Plus, I've had 3 meals out of 3 out with friends - and one of those was paid for, cause it was with my dad. That's been nice, I've been catching up with friends... and overeaten considerably, cause with my friends we go to the all you can eat things, so we always eat lots and lots... was Chinese on Sunday night, and pizza for lunch today. And then I had a huge steak and chips with my dad for dinner... and bought a pretty top inbetween, it's all rainbow colours, and really nice. So yeah, it has been a good weekend.

However, my alarm is set to go off in 6 hours time, which is not enough sleep. This is a bad thing. But it can't be helped, and I can sleep on the train back! I'm not dancing tomorrow, so it's ok...

Things I have to do tomorrow (I need to write them down so I remember them): Buy an extension lead, put cheques in the bank, go to the dentist, pack, go to Bristol. I'm sure there was something else... oh yea, print stuff. That's quite important. Hm... ringing Australia would be good too, cause then it's on someone else's phonebill!

Damn this 3amness. I don't like it *makes mental note not to do it again*. Still, at least I have biscuits. And books.

I want to be married.
