How wonderful life is, now you’re in the world…

Soooo, here I am again, late as usual. But you can’t blame me, the past week was more than eventful for me to remember to write here. I’m officially 21, as of 11 days, and I feel perfectly 12! It was a really nice “party”, full of (evil) plotters who managed to keep a secret for more than a month the biggest present ever – my mom. All I knew was that one of my friends was late because he was on a train and that he would arrive around midnight. No problem, we’re not hurrying for anywhere, we can wait. Then he shows up carrying a suitcase – my initial thought was that that’s the present… Oh, silly me. While I was beginning to ask “What’s in the box?”, my mom jumped behind him and I forgot how to speak… for about 10 min. All the things that didn’t make sense prior to my birthday finally lined up – showing once again that I suck at logic. But it really was a great present, and I got to spend a week being pampered by mom. Of course, by the end I got really nervous being with her 24/7, since I didn’t wanna leave her alone anywhere. When she left I was both relieved and crying like a baby, as usual. The good news is I’ll be going home for Christmas, so I’ll see her again soon. But before that I have a month of procrast…. I mean, damn heavy studying! Things are looking up for a change, though, so we’ll be alright. And I think that’s it for now, ‘cause I know nobody likes to read long stuff. Live long and prosper!

P.S. – Dear world, please don’t end, I’m finally happy.
Sincerely, me.

September ended, wake up!

What’s that? That’s just me, forgetting to update this thing. Which I apologise for, if anyone was worried, which I doubt. So, let’s see what has happened since… *checks last post’s date* … September 13! Well, we had another moving to a new house, I was a Freshers’ Hero, and the third and final year at Aber Uni started. Oh yeah, I passed my resit, woohoo! Now to extend my explanations on these three… things.

There’s not much to say about the house, actually. It’s the same as last year, but with different room and less people. And for the first time that I’m here, I’m not living with my best friend. I got so used to her, especially over summer, ‘cause basically, she was all I had here. I do go to visit her almost every evening – her and the other three weirdos of friends that currently make my life bearable. It’s not as bad as I always turn out to describe it, but I really feel lonely without them. My other friend lives all the way on campus, which is really inconvenient. And the girls I live with – well, the two of them are more alike and can have fun together, and I’m the black sheep, as usual. On a brighter note, speaking of friends living on campus, I want to thank Trang for getting me my first birthday present yesterday – a necklace with three bunnies running in circle, like AFI’s logo. I know you know it, woman, but I really love you!!! ^^ I’m not gonna wear anything anytime soon! Apart from clothes, of course. ‘Cause it’s getting a bit cold, it’s October, you know, and walking around naked with only a necklace is a bit strange….

Anyway, moving on. I thought I said here somewhere that I was chosen to be a Freshers’ Hero, but apparently I didn’t so I’m gonna do it… tomorrow. Or how about now, I’ll forget tomorrow. Basically, the job of the Heroes is to help freshers – these bright young minds – find their way around campus, showing them to their rooms, answering any questions they or their parents may have and other hero-y stuff. Some go to the airports to pick them up, others stay on the train stations in case someone doesn’t know which train to get on. I wanted to go to the airport, get out of Aber for a day, but I was allocated at the reception of the residence I was in my first year. The job was only two days, and the second one it was pouring like hell, but it was really fun. I felt so proud helping the innocent little souls who have no idea what awaits them. And, you know, you also get paid for that. But it really was a rewarding experience.

And last but not least (actually, it is) – my final year here started. Everything is going okay for now, I’m mostly dealing with the research proposal for the dissertation. The good news is, I don’t have that many essays to write, but I think that project is challenging enough. I really don’t want to fuck it up this time, fingers crossed.

My birthday’s coming fast. Only a week left… I really don’t feel 21. Hell, I don’t even feel 20. I think I stayed somewhere between 17 and 18. And that seems so long ago. Sometimes I don’t even want to celebrate it, but you’re only 21 once, I guess. What’s stopping me from being happy is probably the fact that half of my friends won’t be here, I’m surrounded by a bunch of people I can’t wait to get rid of, and there’s no possibility of going home anytime soon. That will be an interesting Christmas for sure. Man, I’m whining too much, I’m sure I’ll be fine. Nostalgia’s just stronger at times like these…

Okay, this turned out to be longer than my normal posts, and I know you’re lazy to read that much, so I’m drawing the line right…. now! ---------
