Well, looks like I turned 20 then! Quite an achievement I think ( Read more... )

Had a very relaxing weekend, more relaxing than I had first planned! I had some trouble getting to Ashley's because I didn't have any change for bus fair - and this was annoying since I ran fast to try and catch the bus. I then went to get some money, and hoped to catch another bus - but marginally missed this one too :-( - I went home for a few ( Read more... )

Why does the night seem to bring a simplicity to life. I mean, somehow everything becomes so easy in the early hours - I can see the future and decide "Yeah I can conquer the world! Yes!

Maria offered me some hours early in the morning tomorrow, originally she offered 9 - 11 which I accepted, then remembered Atieh could do 10 - 1 last week. So I spoke to Maria and I'm doing 8 ( Read more... )

Had an okay today, I woke up as planned at 7am. Somehow though I managed to dive back in bed and get another hours sleep, though I'm greatful now. I was ready and got to work on time at 9am, and ended up staying on for a few extra hours until 4pm. I got home and cooked dinner for myself and my parents. I went round Ashley's for a little while, not ( Read more... )

I feel as though the title of my journal is getting more and more true each day. "The Grounded Life" heh.
