Now. This time it will be IT.

long awaited post

Apologies for not updating! Busy-ness ah. Julian's visit went very well, we saw "The New World" (I actually liked it, even it was extremely long), took him to the union, but well.. yeah, it I guess we weren't really in the mood for it. London was SO FUN. Missed you Jen, and Em.. and korean bbq was amazing. So was Madame Jojo's actually (which was unexpected surprise), it was an indie club and we danced and danced =) All of us four together again is yay.

Today went swimming. Working tonight, and tomorrow night. Bar work is great, since all the people are very kind. Stressful but makes time pass faster... Been very peaceful since last afternoon, maybe because it snowed. I felt all relaxed in a funny way. Such a nice feeling. I need to concentrate one last energy on my essay about "what best explains people's willingness to work hard" and some french work. Then, it's HOLIDAYS!!! Can't wait.

Last night had great dinner at Anme's, chinese cooking is getting better n better. Jon's Bday on wednesday, we tried CENTURION (like one shot of beer/minute) and you might think it's not that much... but gets you drunk fast. Although I didn't do it for very long, and went home quite early as had early french presentation next day.

Have to update more regularly... Any other exciting gossip? Oh yeah, that Wilson dude had a crush on me (Will found his blog)... Apparently he had bought me Valentine's gift, aww.. and then saw me and Chung and was very heartbroken. Poor guy.

Off to eat SCAN's meatballs (!)... miss it so much. Found it in TESCO =)

a song for someone who needs somewhere to long for

This is BUSY week.

Monday, Kenny's 20th birthday. Huge hotpot buffet dinner in Birmingham (we drove there, yay) and then back to room for drinks before TopB. Went to TopB, came back and drank more. I didn't so much, but everyone else did. In the end, we had 3 people who puked. One who pissed himself, one who showed his balls... and I don't know what. It was really a crazy night, and me, Bill and Chung was sober to take care of people. Gone to bed like 6am.

Tuesday, Job interview (which i got, yay!!) and then out to Leamington Spa for a night out with the Bar Staff (tagged along Adrian). Started off a bit slow at a really dodgy looking bar that smelled of chlorine... but then it got better. We went to Moo Bar to get a queue-jump for Sugar (this club). This is very popular thing on tuesdays, but I have never been. Both the places turned out to be great!! Sugar was amazing, vodka redbulls for 1 pound = keeps you up all night. We danced till they closed at 3am, came back, and like ended up sleeing 5am.

Today, signed contract and paid like £200 for our HOUSE, also had a nice coffee at Starbucks while i was at it. Went to Birmingham with Takeshi, for a JENNY LEWIS concert in Glee Club, it was suuuuch a nice place. Like sitting down, all sophisticated and mature style à la Lydmar a bit and just drinking wine and listening to her... acoustic harmonic voice. It was very wonderful. Came back and was starving, went to chicken wrap which was the last one they made (the guy stuffed so much chicken the wrap did not work to wrap), big mess. Now its 3.30am, i think i need to go to bed.

So it's reading week. I really need to do some reading now.

such a étudiant

I found my glasses! Just felt like I should go check the reception again today to ask for my glasses, and this time they were there (they were not a week ago). So yay, I can see again.

Had lots of lectures today. So much stuff to study now... I've been in my room the past 2 nights studying in the evenings, which feels VERY strange. Feel's like it's been forever. Like I've done nothing except studying, which i guess is not very true. I just have no time to do anything like just hanging out with friends, because I feel guilty not reading my books and catching up. Sorry for the boring entry..................

I go to lectures and talk to a few people between breaks, then I come home and talk a little to my kitchen (not much though), and then I talk to a lot of people on MSN. That's very sad. I will call people and meet up, have lunch and dinner and stuff... But just can't be BOTHERED.

We reserved a house yesterday though! Finally! It will be me, Kosa, Jon, Veronica and Kat living together. I'm happy Kat joined us (you know, the nice girl you met)... so i can ignore Veronica hahaha... Um the house in Leamington Spa, a pretty town. It's in the "posh" area very close to the main Parade. So it's not in the dodgy South where most of the students live. Our house is white, three floors, and quite nice. All the rooms are big, and the living room very cosy. It will be great when you guys visit me next year! =)

Gah, can't write blog anymore. My writing ability has gone SHIT. So has my thinking ability... I need to read more, and feel a bit more artisitic-ish again.

I feel standardised. Rationalised. Filled with a load of Business Student Crap. Bleh.

Crazy New Year

I'm going to keep this short because I need to get to bed. Last night was crazy, in a bad way. We had a very nice chinese new year dinner and afterwards was going to drink a little and chat in Natalie's room. That was all fine, till I started drinking Tequila. I don't know what happened. At one point I stopped being me, I became Crazy Girl who tried to Down everything in her reach. Thank goodness everyone hid the bottles from me. And they put me to bed.

But then. No one knows what happened. Somehow in my room I managed to hit my mouth on something, so now my lip is swollen and purple, and one tooth is like banged inwards. Don't worry, I managed to push it back into place this morning. Painful, but it's ok. And I have no idea of this happening... All I remember is waking up this morning thinking how did I get to my bed. And then feeling dried blood on my face.

So lots of ÅNGEST (to continue on Clara's entry). I'm happy nothing worse happened, but it's very very very very scary how you can just ZONE OUT and not be present. Has never happened before and will never happen again. People throw up, I don't apparently... And never drink tequila again. It fucks you up!

(Please don't worry about me after reading this entry. I will be OK. I'm just a bit in shock as well...)

belle and sebastian

Yaaaaaaay. I love concerts. I love BELLE AND SEBASTIAN!!!!!!!!

They are the best. Just like the sound on cd, except they were much better live! I never thought that that kind of music could be good at concerts, but it was amazing. Like you could dance and just feel the beauty of it sooooo much. The slow songs worked as well... I didn't want it to end!! Actually they left the stage, and came back. When they left I was so sad cause they didn't play "Sleep the Clock Around" which was my favorite. But then they came back and played one more song... and the LAST SONG was... exactly. My favorite. And I have so happy. So happy. So happy. It was the best ending EVER.

They just have so many songs... definetly worth to go to their concert again! Also, it was wonderful to get off campus. I like cities. I like feeling better and no longer sick. Everything is much better today =)

"Fox in the Snow" (another great song)
... ...Kid in the snow, way to go
It only happens once a year
It only happens once a lifetime
Make the most of it
Second just to being born
Second to dying to
What else would you do?... ...

just when i was getting better...

Today was my free day, woke up and felt better and was like yay I'm going to sort out my life, catch up with all the work I missed, do lots of things... then started feeling stomach ache. Ran to bathroom, and had like diarrhea. Walked back to room, and suddenly felt very faint, and everything went black. Had to find my way through blackness to collapse on my bed, in between I hit my head on my closet. I slept...

Woke up again. This time was very hungry, so I walked to kitchen. By the time I got there I was so tired and nauseous had to sit down. Didn't manage to get any food, just some tea... stumbled back to my room. Was very confounded at this new sickness. So I read my antibiotics instructions and saw: SIDEFFFECTS--diarrhea, nausea, vomiting. Oh dear. So, the whole point of taking medecine was to make me feel better, instead has now reversed and I feel worse. I managed to call the health centre and have an appointment with my doc again this afternoon. But the point is.

I can't handle this mentally anymore. If I don't get better soon I will be like totally broken down and have like no will to live anymore. Honestly, it's EXHAUSTING. It takes like fight power to go "yeah, today i'm gonna!" and I've been trying and trying... I JUST WANT TO GET WELL!!!!! Feels like I haven't been talking about anything except my sickness for the past weeks. My term is only 10 weeks, and there's that much work to be done in that time, and I've been sick for 2. So it's like. What's the point???

And p.s. I think I lost my glasses. ................>_<.................
