And I'll lay down on the cold ground...

Gah! This is the song used for an advert for a new film, and I know the song, I've heard it a thousand times but I'll be damned if I remember what it's called or who it's by. It's one of those things where it grates against your very being for weeks, maybe even months, and suddenly, poof! There it will be at 3am, when you're laying in a nice, warm, toasty bed, feeling all relaxed and snuggley and you'll think "Fantastic! but no WAY am I writing it down now, I'll do it tomorrow" and when you wake up, it'll be gone.

5 minutes and a trip through Google later:
Set Fire to the Third Bar by Snow Patrol. That'll be why I know it so well because if you haven't already guessed, I love Snow Patrol at the moment. Oh the joys of refusing to go to bed at half past midnight. Usually I would go straight to bed and read until I got really tired... about 1am usually. But I don't have a book to read that I haven't already read, I'm alone in my flat for the night and I have messed up medication that is causing me to be really tired but doesnt let me sleep. I'm going home for the first week of Easter that starts officially tomorrow and am going to get a blood test done so they can say that yes, I do have thyroid problems and give me some bigger pills!

It's been quite a boring and unproductive day today unfortunately. I have no (horrible) looming deadline, no-one is in Lincoln, I'm kind of stuck with not much that I need to do thats pressing and nothing particularly fun to do, so I finished watching the DVD box set Luke bought me for Christmas. The last episode made me cry, they kill off my favourite character! But of course I already knew this having already read the books. I'm considering buying the Gavin and Stacey box set now, but don't know if it'll have been ruined slightly being that I've watched the second-to-last and last episodes already. Ah well, we'll see.

OH! Almost forgetting! I finally followed the advice my parents and people have been giving me, printed off a stack of copies of my CV on good paper and took them round EVERYWHERE in Lincoln yesterday looking for a job. I found 2 that seemed very promising indeed. Cloud Bar has some other CLM students (my course) working there so they know what we're like and Dogma seemed likely to take me too, so I could end up being a bar girl in the summer. Me and Luke have agreed that if we both get good jobs and work at them over the next year we're going to take our first holiday together to Ireland, just me and him. I'm really excited and so obviously desperate to get a job of some kind! Also I think I'm going to buy myself a money box or something and put maybe £10 in a week or something like that so I should have a decent kitty by next year. Hopefully if we don't use all that money, we might be able to pay for a deposit on a house as well. Exciting times ahead for sure.

Last weekend I went to my parents home because my Great Aunt and Uncle were having their (Silver?) wedding anniversary, there was jokes about it being my mum and dad's turn to have big anniversaries next, but I was stood there thinking "well, me and Luke aren't exactly planning on NOT getting married!" I mean, we'll have been together for 5 years next year. My cousin Joanne was talking about how her and her husband were together for 10 years before they got married, but every time me and Luke talk about the future, he keeps saying "but I don't want to be near 30 years old before we have children!" So hopefully, won't have too many years to wait before we're having an engagement party. I know it's a bit mental to be thinking about these things and people keep saying "don't wish your life away!" but I'm not wishing it away, I'm just thinking about the exciting things that are to come because that's all you can really do on those days when you haven't really spoken to anyone in person, only over the internet etc.

Mmmm, maybe it is time to go to bed. 1am is a respectable time to go to bed for a student isn't it? haha! goodnight world.
