4:35p - randomness abounds
Weell, seems a long time since I've posted, but hey, nothing much has happened.
Daddy and I went to Leeds on Friday and my primary purpose was timing how long it takes to get from home to the Parkinson Building in Leeds where the Classics department lives. Have to go there again next Friday, in rather more scary circumstances, to do my departmental registration for my MA. I'm kinda scared! I guess I've been through it all before and at least this time I get to come home after it's all over - which is a big plus! Still, meeting new people, fitting into a new situation? Not things at which i'm historically very good. But I'm trying.
Our other purpose, besides random shopping, was seeing if the nice people at Carphone warehouse wold fix my phone, or give it a new battery or whatever. I'd been to see them at home too, but nothing doing. The lady pretty much took one look at it and gave up all hope. It's an old phone, and not a common make either but my dad was kinda slow accepting that and also reluctant to think of another solution. Sooo, methought, why am I putting up with this? I'm a 'growd-up' person, I'll slove the damned problem myself. Cue hours worth of net surfing trying to find a new phone cheap. Which is not easy. But I think it's sorted now, thanks to the nice people at T-Mobile who'll give me a new phone (and a snazzy one too) for ?15 a month on this new contract-y thing they've come up with. Phew, t'was tres tiring.
Then of course my period pain decided that tomorrow would be a fun day to visit and knocked me out completely, from which I'm still recovering. Which is probably why i'm still tired at 4.30 in the afternoon; ) I suppose I should go to the doctor and ask them what they can do to help, but it's not something I'm really looking forward to - for fairly obvious reasons! However, discovered a new cure for period pain (along with a hot bath, a hot water bottle, singing, copious amounts of Nurofen and generally passing out) - shoe shopping! It really works (probably best for those with large disposable incomes), got me some new clogs (grown-up shoes, look at me!) and all the pain was gone! Hehehe.
So this is my very last week of fun before the studying starts again. But at least the studying doesn't start back in Durham. Woohooo!
Possibly be back later - depends if the pub is suicide inducing or not.

Is there anyway to say
How much I hoped for you today?
Man in a dark suit glamour, immutable in his way, he sold his soul for a ordinary life.
I pass your house at half past ten. A warm glow from your living room undermines the darkness sitting in the hedges and next to the door. I pick out pictures, a lamp, the colour of the wallpaper and am amazed at how much it hurts me to know all these things that don't concern me.
There are no people at the window, no head behind the sofa back. No laughs, no touch except the dark which is coming closer to your door.
