Excitement. Melancholy. Hope.
Evening!
Lame at the posting again.. I’m sorry! :) But I’ve had two relatively busy days so I have an excuse for them, as for the others I could blame a touch of the ole bloggers block but I don’t know whether that just demeans me or not :P
So with the P.S. I Love You OST playing in the background, I’ve gotten ready for bed and with Tiberius sitting comfortably on my lap.. I’m off with the blog! :D I’m actually in a state of excitement over College :D its like.. less than a month! I’ll be getting the enrolling information pretty soon and then its pretty much set in stone! ARGH! :D I was just watching a documentary about the Open University (its 40 years old apparently.. don’t know why I felt you needed to know that but hey.) and it got me all excited and I did some… *takes a calming breath*.. Stationary shopping yesterday! *SKWEEE* God, I love Stationary shopping… it makes my tuppence bubble, as we say at work. I bought a 4 subject notebook (with dividers), some gel pens (different colours for annotations etc. Need to work out what colour means what tho) and some highlighters (with cat faces on the lids). I could have bought so much more but I’m going proper stationary shopping in Bath next Tuesday with Mother and Father so didn’t want to spoil it but I had my Paperchase fix so its all good.
What else do I need? Am I going the whole hog and having a folder for each subject so its all organized and pretty? Do I want a diary so I can write down important dates and homework etc? Will they give me a Homework Planner like they did in school/6th form? I dunno.. but its exciting! (I don’t know whether you’ve picked that up yet :P) I’ll need a nice pen.. I’m weighing up the pros and cons of fountain pens against ball-points. Crayons? Rulers? Pencils? God.. I’m practically trembling with excitement. Honestly, I’m so sad. I’m just looking forward to the major change in routine.. I know I’ve gone part-time already but all there is is work and home. I’ll be learning again.. doing a subject I love (History) that they wouldn’t let me do before and two subjects I haven’t done before (Psychology and Sociology) and hopefully going to University and possibly doing History again or maybe Psychology if I like it, meeting new people, doing new things. :D UGH.
So yes. I’m excited about college.
Just looked out of the window and I wish I could show you a picture of how good the moon looks tonight. There is just a little bit of cloud which occasionally covers like the lower half of the moon and its all pearly white and glorious… foolishly tried to take a picture with my iPhone, LOL. I’ve gone all melancholy and, what I’d call, hippy-ish cause of the song thats playing (I’ll upload it after I post.. I really must ask Tom how to put mp3s into posts), its called ‘Kisses and Cake’ by John Powell - I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before. I was listening to it as I came home from Town yesterday.. I’d met a friend and we had a Hot Chocolate and an hour and a half chat in Cafe Nero before heading off to do the stationary shopping and I was feeling good and cheerful and this song came on. It reminded me of summer and good times and friends and just a nice feel good song :) seriously obsessed with it at the moment. If you’ve watched P.S. I Love You (as much as I have) you’ll recognize it as the instrumental piece of music that’s threaded throughout the film.. I particularly like the last minute or so as it starts, IMHO, getting epic. I miss Summer.. a proper Summer when it actually meant more than just the season.. it was 6 weeks off.. it was a holiday.. IT WAS FUN. I hope with the restarting of the education track that it’ll become to mean that again. Employment sucks the fun out of EVERYTHING.
Good Lord, Squish. What is wrong with you this evening? LOL. Tomorrow I go back to work after two days off. I’m working the weekends for the next two weeks because half the staff are on holiday at the same time (clever stuff there.) which will also mean its going to HECTIC with Stew being the only member of Management working at the moment. This’ll mean that I’ll be roped in to help out even though I’m not being paid for it anymore but its Stew.. I’d do it for him cuz he’s lovely :) But never-mind, I have a week off in… um… *check iCal*.. 17 days :D whoop! A quick summary of what’s planned for that week:
1) Tom’s coming down for two days (hopefully) for Banksy and Sushi.
2) 4 days of doing nothing much unless some clever plan is concocted. Maybe some photography days with Dad.
3) A secret roadtrip to St. Davids with a couple of my friends :D 6 hour roadtrip, baby!
Damnit. I also forgot to sort out some photos for the two cork-boards I discovered when I was clearing out this room before I moved back in.. will have to take Tiberius in tomorrow and do it when I’m on lunch! Remind me? :)
Squish.
