Oops! Overkill, perhaps?
Posted May 30, 2002
[I know I haven't put anything in here for ages, and this is n't really an update of any kind, but never mind 
]
I appear to have the longest average postings in the last 24 hours - which is all the more amusing since one of the 5 was only 1 word long, so however does it average up to 1781?
Anyway, must go: as usual, I've got to run back to halls to get my free food (*looks at watch*: in fact, I think I'm already too late. Rollocks!) This site should come with a health warning...

It's the green tarmac's fault, I tell you!

Ah, right, how to sum up what's going on without being late for a Psychology IT lesson in 5 minutes time (during which, I have a nagging suspicion, I won't actually be able to login to a computer, due to lack of them having set up my username).
Having finally discovered I *will* be living with my good friend Phil next year, I suggested we start looking yesterday. However, due to a series of confusing coincidences and circumstances, we find ourselves having two different groups of people who want to share with us.
So, from not even knowing if I had one future flatmate this time last week, I now seem to have too many...
Oh, and I get my Part I exam results this afternoon as well...
(gotta rush: Psychology computers to fail to log in to!)

I almost forgot for a while, there. [ see F71594?thread=168008 ]
Not cos anything serious happened, but just cos life was getting me down. Little irritating things.
But no, it's true:
there will always be better, always be worse;
there will always be problems, not always be solutions;
there will always be things to miss, things to look forward to;
there will always be lucky breaks, and failed plans;
but life goes on,
whether we like it or not,
so why bother getting so upset about it?
I mean how pathetic, to get fed up over a pair of shoes!
I mean admittledly, they are shoes so worn down that the reason they let the water in is because there's a hole in the sole; and admittedly I do have to limp because the support structure is rubbing against my heel where the cloth's worn away.
And, yes, I'm not keen on shopping. Or good at it. Particularly clothes shopping: I just go into a clothes shop, and all I see is...well, clothes! And as for shoe shopping, I can't remember the last time I managed to actually buy a pair of shoes or trainers that actually fitted me properly.
And, just to make things worse, having had an old pair of trainers in my wardrobe for the last two terms, unused, I decided not to bother bringing them this term. So I will actually have to limp into town this afternoon if I'm to avoid tearing my feet to pieces. [Possibly a little exaggerated, but you get the idea: they hurt.]
And no, I still have no idea where I'm going to end up living next year.
And I've equally no idea when I'll next get a chance to see my beloved Lifson again (her being 110 miles away, and all).
But really, it's not that bad, is it? Everyone has challenges they have to face, problems they have to overcome, or cope with.
It can't really be *that* hard to find a pair of decent trainers that I can comfortably run around in. And after all, at least I can afford to buy them!
No, there really is no point getting wound up about it, and I thank myself and (tonsil revenge) [ U186749 ] for having journal entried that remind me that.
Life goes on,
and we might as well make the most of it:
if nothing else, we can smile.

Um, well, yes... April showers, um...

I have actually now finished my exams!
Wahey! I can relax! 
And before you all ask how I did - I did my best, and in the end that's all you can do. [And I reckon I didn't do too badly, either. Vitally importantly, I Didn't Panic.]
As for that about the holidays - well, obviously I was stressing about exams, trying to revise.
But also, I didn't seem to get anything *else* done. It was partly a matter of not having time, I suppose, but it just seemed more of an Interregnum than a holiday.
And, of course, the worst thing is I didn't get to see Lifson hardly at all [
] since she was busy too, with coursework and stuff.
I guess Easter's a bit like that really: you nearly always have something to prepare for after it, and there's not all that much to do. [Even chocolate didn't seem very interesting anymore: I must be getting old
]I sound really down, don't I? Well, I was, but it's kind of gone now. Exams over, stress lifted...
On the other hand, I just found out my term starts on Sodit [Monday]...
Talking of which, I'd better go get a timetable, before they close the office or something!

Hmm. Bit of an odd holiday that one, really, when all's said and done.
And I'm not sure I can really be bothered to write this journal right now [
]
I'll try again tomorrow, after my first exam []
