Oh wow, here was me trying to remember the blogging site I discovered I owned a while back, and I've just found another one!

This is why I don't keep a diary F.Y.I - reading back on that load of crud is rather cringe-worthy. I wrote that, what, 3 years ago? 4 years ago? Yeah, it's 2013 now and I'm not long from graduating from my MSc. Just got my thesis to finish, hand in and the following presentation.

Why am I even writing this? I'm probably going to delete this account anyway!

OK, yeah, wow...um... I totally suck at updating. Like - epic fail much?

Guess what? 6 days 'til I go home from Uni... LOL! Like I said - I suck :D

What a year it's been! I've been so busy that it's flown by! There've been hardly any nights out compared to last year and a lot of being stressed and ill (like right now once again...ill that is, exams are over so I'm pretty much anti-stress right now - I can't work up the energy).

Have I changed this year?

I think so - I've learnt a lot, gone through some hard times... I guess you can't help growing up when life is kicking you into action!

I haven't really got anything to say. I don't much any more. It's like the words in my head have run out. :S I really don't like it...

Anyway - I'll update probably in a years time knowing me.

Ciao x

Not long to go now...

...until I'm off to Uni! In fact I'm setting off in roughly 10 hours! Wooop! God I can't wait! Also slightly nervous though which is stupid - I haven't seen anyone for, what, 3 or 4 months? *actually goes to count* Yep, 4 months! It feels like forever! I am nervous but at the same time I really can't wait to be back! I've missed everyone so much! Chatting on msn or facebook just isnt the same, I feel like I'm gonna be really surprised when I see them face to face, 'cause I half think I've forgotten what they look like.

It's crazy how much I love my friends from Aber.

I've known them for exactly (nearly) a year now and I can honestly say that apart from Em (the best friend :D) that I've never had a better set of friends in my life.

I've never loved or fit in with or been loved or comletely accepted by a group of friends like this before and it's completely amazing!

It's made the years and years (and years) or what felt like desolete lonliness completely worth it :D I'm glad I never gave up, and triply thankful that I had Em.

I think it must have been the fact that I never had a continual group of friends - what with moving so many times - I never grew up and with anyone, I was never accepted into a new group except once (though in that incidence we were all 'newbies' so we were thrust together as a group more out of convenience than anything else. We got on but we would never have mixed naturally if you get what I mean, It was just so difficult to intergrate into the already set groups that we had no other choice!) so Uni has been the first time that an entirely unknown large group of people have all joined 'class' (if you get me) the same time that I have. It's amazing - everyone is new so theres no trying to fit in with a group etc - you gravitate to people like you and people you like and in the end *wham* a group of loving fun life long friends that I will love and cherish til the day I die :)

Anyway enough of this ranting lol I'd better sleep

Well...

...two days until I'm back at Uni and I'm partially packed and already making plans for the weekend :D It's going to be incredibly strange going back after so many weeks and months of nothing, nothing, nothing and suddenly thrust into the world of rocks, alcohol, work, expecations and people! I gotta get used to being with them 24/7 again - should be interesting, especially with the personalities in the house I'll be sharing this year...

~*~

Today I'm loving a programme called 'Life' - just because the main character is freakin' awesome! So funny :D

~*~

I have a LOT of packing to do! It's Wednesday and I'm leaving Saturday and I still have SO DAMN MUCH to pack! Tommorrow I'll be out in town since Sam wants to go see 'District 9' or something... I don't really want to tbh but, eh, I'll go anyway :)

~*~

Dad came back from India today looking several stone lighter - mostly because (he thinks) of the ice cubes he had in his drink (bad water and all that) as well as the usual sickness you generally get when your body is adapting to being half way round the world...

shit battery running out!

So yeah...

...I'm not good with updating.

Like, at all.

But I'll try my hardest! :)

Dunno what I'm gonna put here but I guess I'll just...ummm...ramble?

I'm good at rambling :)

Sometimes.

:D

~*~

At the moment I'm really loving Jamie Oliver's American Road Trip, I think he's excellent - his enthusiasm about food is completely contagious and Hell he makes me smile :)

Ah food is such fun - I'm looking at recipes right now, we'll see later how they work out :D

~*~

On a more personal foodie level I'm thinking of trying the Blue Poppy Seed Cake with some lemon or lime in it - it's lush on its own but I dunno, I eat it, you get the hit of poppy, the creaminess of the cake but I feel like there should be something else, like a sharp hit before the cream...

Also I need to find a better blueberry muffin recipe - the one I tried wasn't all that good, the muffins tasted acidic almost :S and not at all vanilla :S :S I'll keep my eyes open!

~*~

Something else I'm loving at the moment is Oscar Wilde's 'De Profundis' - I absolutely love that man! The way he writes, his character - as a person, how human he suddenly seems while you read his novel/letter (my God, it is lo.o.o.ng) - it's fantastic :) I keep reading and re-reading it, figuring out all the odd little turns of phrase he uses etc - it's gonna keep me entertained for a while me thinks :D

~*~

I have 4 days left until I go back to Uni and I'm half glad its so many days away because I have so much to pack! But I really can't wait to be back :) Aber-time is happy-time :D

Not long to go though! Excellent stuff!
