Wah, it’s that time of year again.
My brother is back in London, and being at my parents’ house without him just seems weird. I said goodbye to Chris yesterday, and it’s still hard to say goodbye. Speaking to someone everyday for five years makes not seeing them for months rather difficult.
So there’s an inevitable surge of emotion (I’m partly blaming my hormones). I went to bed shockingly early last night (before midnight!) but didn’t sleep for hours through just being weepy and pathetic. Lots of things building-up haven’t helped: lots of stressful coursework to do, severe lack of monies, revision, not seeing saul very much, people seemingly trying to mess with my head for fun, and generally feeling a bit lost. Once I’m back in Cardiff I’ll be back into the routine though, and I’m missing Tia and Dave. Dave can effortlessly cheer me up and Tia is just me. Plans-a-plenty to look forward to, too: David J’s phantom of the opera party :-D, London to see Chris and Rich, Birmingham/Feeder with Mr Josh, hopefully Manchester for Laura, time spent with Ben S when I’m back home, and other random travels about the place.
I’m so so glad 2004 is over. My 2004 consisted of (yes I shall list more negatives!) losing my job, almost losing my boyfriend but (thankfully) only having to help him get better, weekly trips to the doctors, smoking too much, drinking too much, nasty housemates in halls of residence, missing friends and not making new ones (not until September, anyway), and not making better use of my time or money.
This has become a very ‘woe-is-me’ update when, really, I have very little to complain about, so I’ll get back to my work now.
Here’s to a better 2005 for everyone xxxxx
