I often find myself comparing my life to the lives of people I know. Sometimes to the lives of close friends, and at other times to lives of people I barely even know. I then end up ruminating on how much better their lives are and how life is so unfair to me. This is usually triggered by looking at photos of people. I start to think about how ( Read more... )

I was just staring at our heater timer, waiting for the little click sound which indicates that it has turned on. I hate being a poor student and not being able to afford to keep the heating on all the time. It's been absolutely freezing lately! Horrible ( Read more... )

Oh my, how long it took!! I've been here over 2 months and finally I am sitting at my own computer in my own room using the internet. Feels strange, but great!! A lot has happened in these past 2 months. My birthday came and went. It was alright, had fun and ate good cake! Tom's birthday came and went as well, and even though it didn't go so ( Read more... )

I am extremely tired.  Not good considering I have a very boring lecture in an hour and then straight afterwards I have work from 5pm-1am.  Think I'll be having to hit the coke once I get to subway.  I'm really hungry as well, can't wait for my free sandwich!!  I wish I had time to eat a footlong during my break since I am entitled to it, but I can ( Read more... )

This week has been one of the worst of my life.  It started out alright, I met up a friend from church on monday and we went for a coffee and had a really nice chat.  Then I decided to go out to a club called Loaf with a few of my friends and since I hadnt been out in a while it was quite excting.  I have stopped drinking to get drunk so I decided ( Read more... )

Here I am again, in Manchester.  In addition to a million other things wrong with our new house, we still do not have internet.  I don't think we will be able to get it until the last girl has moved in and she won't get here until the 24th!!!  I'm very annoyed.  I almost got a job in subway, but my boss is stupid and he said I cannot work without a ( Read more... )

I was sitting on the bus today and I heard this girl speaking english on her mobile. Since finnish buses are so quiet and no one ever talks, I was able to listen to her entire conversation. (I wasn't the only one. I heard a few boys commenting on her conversation after she got off the bus) She was telling a friend of hers how they had "slave day" ( Read more... )

I received a parcel from Tom today.  I was so excited!  I didn't know he was going to send me anything, since he's been so busy.  It contained 2 crunchie bars (my favourite!), the 5th season of scrubs, and a really sweet letter.  I haven't ever really received a parcel from a guy before, so it was a momentous occasion.  I'm glad I'm seeing him ( Read more... )

I'm thinking my mother may not be as naive as I thought she was.  This morning we were all waiting for my older brother in the car so he would drive us to church.  He got in and hinted that he would rather have my mother drive so he could sleep in the backseat.  He started driving though, and then my mother made the strangest comment: "There will ( Read more... )

I'm feeling very depressed.  I was feeling very distressed earlier and I really needed someone to talk to.  But there was a movie on that I wanted to watch so Tom and I agreed to talk afterwards.  But then he decided to go over to his friend's house instead so that made me really upset.  I really shouldn't be though because he is allowed to get out ( Read more... )
