Ok, before we go any further, I need to explain who Luke is. Luke is my boyfriend and very possibly "THE ONE". We met in Feburary 2006 at a birthday party and started going out the following month. Let me tell you, if this is love I never want it to end. We both have simplistic dreams in life mainly involving educating children whether that be our own or a classroom full, a medium sized house and a car each, only so we don't have to argue over what music to listen to and when. The relationship started as a long distance one with about 130 miles seperating us, and with me entering university we changed the miles from that big scary 130 to a mear 10. We do often have arguments about when we see each other with him being in his 3rd and hardest year of university and me only in my first but it works out quite well. He does all the typical boyfriend stuff; insists on paying for lunch, making sure I'm in a taxi after dark and spending ridiculous amounts of time on msn when we are not seeing each other generally chatting and I like to think I do the typical girlfriend stuff back; eat the food he buys, ignores his taxi obsession and looks through his essays to check the english before he hands them in. But then when looked at closer, he does so much more that doesn't usually become important until husband-dom. I can always rely on him trying his hardest to get to my diabetic appointments, if just to hold my hand and whisper that everything will be ok. He looks after my little brother while my mum sorts out my low blood sugars, he didn't even freak when I had a panic attack from an unfortunate accident involving a party popper new year 2008. In fact the only bad thing would be him telling me off for planning what engagement ring I want him to give me, but a girl can dream can't she?
Days gone by
Things haven't been so great recently. The royal Mail is really starting to upset me now. I'm expecting a new sim card for my phone which will be contract so I will actually have credit, but has this been delivered? No, course not. General lack of phone usage has been a bit of a nuisence, not because I am a typical teenager who needs to spend half her lifes savings on text messaging a week, but because the other people in my video group seem to have a habit of skiiving off every lecture, meaning I can't plan with them as they generally like to keep quiet until the day of the lecture when they ask me what we should do. So of course stress levels over this have been fairly high. Not to mention the photography side of the course! It has taken me 4 weeks to come up with a good project base for "fascinating objects" because the brief is one of the worst ever. But I finally have an idea as I mentioned in the last blog. Unfortunately finding the needed objects has not been the easiest of things to do. I found a toy rabbit that was absolutely perfect with the correct eyes and smile, but a very unfriendly price tag of £20! With a tiny amount of £13 in my bank account, I'm not wasting my last chance at buying food on a toy bunny rabbit. Unfortunately, Lincoln has few charity shops all together so I have not been able to find a cheaper substitute and I have the studio booked for tomorrow. I guess it'll have to be a "make do and mend" photoshoot.
On a lighter note, I have finally decided enough is enough and have applied to move into a new flat! The new flat is again miles from the enterance, but is on the ground floor and only has 4 residents. The people seem lovely and the view from the window is a little patch of grass rather than a big building site. Actually now I think about it, it will be perfect for picnics in summer so I can make excellent use of the picnic set my great aunt and uncle gave me as a congratulatory present for getting into university. I'm excited about getting to know my new flatmates and getting away from the girls I live with now, but I will very much miss seeing Gu Yin Bao and Sun Wen (the chinese girls from my flat). Life will be getting a lot easier I expect!
Today, we had a breather from being hard working, ill students and treat ourselves to a day of fun. I wasn't particularly impressed with New Moon and think Kristin Stewerts acting has little to be said for, but was glad that the director is still sticking with the original plot line of the book which is a nice change from other films changed from books, such as Queen of the Damned and of course the tragic attempt at filmising Harry Potter. But the day was made a lot better looking down the cinema aisle to see my group of six all sat eating salty popcorn and sharing sweets like we do this every week. After the film we went to "playzone", a childs soft play gym which many of the population have not entered since being about 7. The slides were exhilerating, the obstacles brought back thrilling memories of being a child and the netting added a new kind of fun to travelling around without accidentally finding your teeshirt round your neck, exposing body parts that should not be exposed and yet still trying to arrive at the desired destination without a shattered limb. Such an adreniline rush, which was then added to with a bad case of brain freeze because the place sells Slush puppy, again a child hood pleasure!
With the time now being 2:03am and me needing to arise at 9am I think it's time for me to say adieu and get some sleep before the dark circles under my eyes become any darker.
