AU ball was on Wednesday night. I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't a mixture of tired and depressed. But at least the company was good, and the food was alright. Got to wear my red 'concerto' ballgown again. It was sort of exciting walking home by myself in the evening (early end for me for a 6am start the following morning for school) ( Read more... )

Was the archery summer social on Friday night, was so much fun! Ate soup, steak (mmmm, steak, it was bleeding because it was rare-medium accidentally, but soooo good) and chocolate fudge cake.

Whether or not with Distinction... we'll see. I've no idea when the results will be out, having done the exam in a visiting situation rather than at a main ( Read more... )

Happiness is not just around the corner; I'm standing on it, which is why I can't see it. At least, I think so ( Read more... )

My maternal grandfather died this morning. My parents are flying to Malaysia for the funeral etc. this Wednesday. He doesn't have to suffer any more now- it's really lucky, coincidentally all of his family (his daughters and sons that is, and the ones that aren't already with him) all phoned him yesterday to speak to him (or at least communicate, ( Read more... )
