Did You Say It ?

Grey's Anatomy, the finale - it made me cry!!!

I thought the voiceover at the end was great, really made me think; "no I didn't say it..."

I LOVE YOU
YOU CHANGED MY LIFE!

Update at last!

SO, I haven't posted in a while, but tbh, I just couldn't be bothered lol.

what to say what to say...
erm.. I have my last exam in 2hours, I should probably study some more, but I really can't be bothered.

Tomorrow I'm meeting up with my dissertation supervisor to decide what my dissertation title should be... joy...

I go home on Sunday, and I cannot wait!! I want to go hoooome!

On Saturday I went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach with my flatmate and his boyfriend, and it was so much fuuuun!! I did knock my elbow during one of the rides and it started bleeding :(
we then went to the seaside for just a few minutes because I wanted to, it was so preeeetty!!

Then we went to the Blackpool Gay Pride, and it was loads of fun, met random people, bought pretty things, had a few too many drinks, but it was fun :)
because of my elbow bleeding, I went to the first aid stand (st john's ambulance) and they were really nice, disinfected it, put a nice bandage on.
My elbow is really sore, I've managed to bang the EXACT same spot about 5times since Saturday, how I did that I don't know?! and so now it's soooo sore!
but it should be ok by the end of the week lol

TV :
Why are so many characters dying!!!!
CSI NY, one of the characters dies
Prison Break, one of the main characters dies
Grey's Anatomy!!!!!!!!! that finale made me cry!


I will probably/hopefully post more during the summer as I'll be at home.

Anyway

crappy time

So, I'm stressing and panicking about uni.

On tuesday afternoon I have a genetics exam type thing. Which'll be 1-2-1 and it'll involve oral questions, maths questions, and practical techniques - it's going to suck.
Then a couple of weeks later, I have a statistic exam, which is also going to suck, and then the day after that, I have a law exam, where we have to act out a trial. So we are in a group of 8, I am the judge, and others are barristers and expert witnesses, and we have a case to try out. So we will be marked on oral questions, on interpretation and organisation, and how we say things, 'cause this is a law exam, not a sciency one.
AND on the same day, I have to hand it my choices for topics for my dissertation. I already have to decide what I want to do for my dissertation?! and that'll impact on what I do after my degree, and I might want to do a masters, so I have to think about that too, and ARGH!!!!

Plus, still confused and stuff in this sort-of-but-not-really-a-relationship relationship.

and to top it all off, I've been feeling really low :(

all in all
crappy time

Saturday 14 March 2009

Weird/good day?

So, today, I thought was going to be a really crap day.

I'm so skint, I've got like £5 until Wednesday, and I've just got enough food, and will need to spend my last £5 on water, cause the tap water shouldn't be drank.

my lectures were ok, then i went shopping for £3worth of food (all i could afford), and then back home to cook some lunch, had a chat with someone living on my floor, she's nice.
then I watched some dvds.
But by then, I was just really, really upset.
So I texted a few people, hoping that I'd get some replies, get distracted from what I was feeling, and feel a bit better.
But only a couple of people replied, one of which was Michael.
he called me about 7times, to see how I was doing.
And then we spoke on msn.

We spoke about why I was upset, and then about what was new for him and what was new for me and then just spoke about really random stuff, like we used to do.
and we just stopped talking now.
We spoke for over 6hours.
talking on msn for over 5hours, spoke on the phone for about 1hour.
and it was great, I had missed him so much, hadn't spoken to him in about 2months.

And hopefully I'll go visit him in Vienna over the summer.

It was so good to speak to him, he really cheered me up :)

Friendships

I tried to ignore it, but I can't anymore.

Friendships are not equal/balanced.
I think the same is valid for romantic relationships.
but right now I'm talking about friendships.

There is always someone in the relationship who loves the other person more.
It's generally reasonably the same, like 60/40, but not in my case.

I don't know why, maybe it's because I'm hypersensitive, or maybe because of other stuff, but it seems that for me, I care about someone a lot more than they care about me, around 90/10 or 80/20.
It feels that way.

and it SUCKS.

So yes, I am disappointed in people, I am angry and sad, because I care about them, and I am their friend, but many times it feels like they're not my friend.





I do expect more from certain of my friends, I hope for more, because I really am willing to do a lot for my friends.

No this does not make me selfish.


FUCK
this sucks


mood: upset, angry, disappointed

5 Lessons

"1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.

During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:

'What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?'

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

'Absolutely, ' said the professor. 'In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello.'

I've never forgotten that lesson.. I also learned her name was Dorothy.



2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain

One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride, soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.

A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance, and put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached.

It read:

'Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.'

Sincerely,

Mrs. Nat King Cole.



3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.

'How much is an ice cream sundae?' he asked.

'Fifty cents,' replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.

'Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?' he inquired.

By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.

'Thirty-five cents,' she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins.

'I'll have the plain ice cream,' he said.

The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies..

You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.



4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.



5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, 'Yes I'll do it if it will save her.' As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.

He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, 'Will I start to die right away'.

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her."

random update

So, since last time:

I read the 4 twilight books and I'm absolutely in love with them!!!
Was disappointed by the film, compared to the book, it kinda.. sucked?

I went to an audition on Saturday, for a play at uni. A 'friend' of mine is gonna direct it she let me have the audition as a 1-2-1 with her, and it went ok. she said I should come back for the call-back, like the second round of auditions so that the final cast can be decided.
But today I got another assignment, due for the same time as the play, which means I'll have 4 big assignments due for the same week, which would be the week of the play. So, I had to turn down the play :(
very crappy indeed

On a final note
I have officially quit smoking :)
I have had 1 cig in the past 2weeks, and I plan to stop altogether, or maybe have 1 or 2 when I go out, but that's it.
So that's good

Anyway, I've had a really really shit day
except that I got 20minutes free to call any number in the uk, and guess who I'm going to call tomorrow? Esu!

twilight

My friend who is in and out of hospital, she told me that before she came back to uni in March, I needed to watch the Twilight film.
I told her that I'd read the book first, and that it'd probably take me about a month or so to read it because I'm such a slow reader; so I'd have read the book in time for when she gets back.

So I downloaded the book (I wasn't going to buy, incase I didn't like it).
I read the few chapters (about 60pages) on wednesday, and I really liked it. Then on thursday I checked the cinema times for when the film was being shown, and they were only showing it on saturday and sunday (so this weekend).
Friday evening when I got home, I started reading again, and I read it ALL! I finished it at about 3am this morning, but I read over 200 pages in one evening, can you believe it!!

and I LOVE the book!!

So now I plan to read the other 3 books, and tomorrow, I'm going to the cinema to watch the film. I can't wait!!

Tuesday 3 February 2009

just an odd update

So, I was looking forward to yesterday, and.. it turned to be very different than expected.

I was planning on going to an audition for the uni's drama society. I was ready for it, well, I was dressed and had my bag and I was on time, but when it came to leaving the flat, I panicked and couldn't leave my flat.
So after about 15minutes I decided to leave the flat and walk to the building, and if I couldn't do it, I'd go to the shop and buy comfort food. On the way I bumped into my flatmate, and we bought booze and junk food. So instead of the audition, I got drunk and ate junk food.

Then we had a pub quiz, and my team won by 10points, WOOT!
What surprised me, is that my team, it was me, my flatmate, his boyfriend, his friend, and another friend. Now those people (excluding me), they are like.. they always hang out together, smoke and drink, they're like the cool people, but the cool drinking/smoking/do drugs kinda people. It makes sense in my head.
And I felt comfortable with them; felt...good :)

And then more drinking and smoking til about 4am..

Anyway
It was a weird day yesterday
Today is worse
I think I'll go take a nap, and sleep through my tutorial, cba'ed


*sigh*

Today, I felt pretty :)

Farewell 08
Hello 09

New Years Celebrations!

..are supposed to be fun!

To be honest, I don't quite see what the fuss is all about, it's just a day like another, it's like changing month, but its just another year.
I mean, it seems to be expected to go out and get drunk, its like the minimum requirement.

I didn't do anything. I stayed in, watching tv and on my laptop.
I did decide to walk my dog into the new year, and suprisingly enough he wasn't insanely scared of the fireworks.
The fireworks didn't turn out so well either - it was cloudy, but it did however make the sky around light up blue, red, yellow, green - twas quite pretty.

So now its the new year, and what is the next thing to be expected?
New Year's Resolutions.
every year we make them, every year they are similar and every year we don't manage them (well in my case anyway)
the most typical ones are : save money, quit smoking, lose weight.

I haven't made any resolutions
I might make some, I might not.

I find it ridiculous that we use new years to make resolutions, that we can only make that at new years, as if saying in June that as from the first day of the month we're gonna try and change something, it seems stupid. (talking from personal experience here)

Anyway
Happy New Year
I hope it is a good one :)


I need sleep

(maybe the celebrations are just an excuse, to get drunk, to stay up late, to act stupid, and to be like a 6year old watching fireworks...)
