Exams are over and I can finally get back to some kind of normality. Exams went rather pants really, ended up tossing a polo mint to decide what question to answer because of the remaining questions I could only answer a teeny part of two so a mint decided my fate. If I pass it I shall have to write to polo people and thank them for their inspirational mints.

We move premises on Friday so we’re packing like mad and throwing the shite away. o0o0o its quite exciting.

What I am going to do is get a copy of britains rich list thing and write to them all and tell them they need to send me a grand each. Its not like they'd miss it. 1k is like sunglasses or something chuh.

Monday I made someone cry before 9am and I was ever so pleased with myself, every time I saw her for the rest of the day it made me smile. I felt a bit mean at first but the two people who heard the conversation said she was being a stupid bitch and I hadn’t actually done anything, which I hadn’t!
Big hugs to Tom for being jobless :( It’s sad but happy at the same Gemsnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841469.post-1081084840672638622004-04-04T14:20:00.000+01:002004-04-04T14:24:23.233+01:00Well shitty end to a rather shitty week. All shall explained on DDevils blog when he gets a chance to do it.
Continued my great show of non stop crying a stupid things last night. We were watching Futurama last night to cheer ourselves up and then I started crying at a rather sad bit. I can sort of justify it by saying I am girly but it was bloody Futurama! Hehe

Well I went to college yesterday to find out what is going on and she doesn’t know basically. They lost another girls entry form as well but have recently found that filed away instead of posted off, twats, but no sign of mine. Lady in college says she has contacts and will see what she can do but I won’t be holding my breath.

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Well that about sums me up at the moment. As mentioned in a previous post I was worried about not being entered for my exams, it was only a half worry as I didn’t think someone could be so stupid but hey, guess what?

Listen Here
I got bored today so I started to think about my future. Not sure if I want to continue to do the next level of my ILEX. Sort of juggling with the idea of doing a law degree instead. My thinking behind it was if when I am 30 and I might not want to do law anymore and I would have done all the studying for nowt really because ILEX means Gemsnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841469.post-1080502394610153382004-03-28T20:33:00.000+01:002004-03-28T20:36:47.716+01:00Well another week over!
My flat is still a mess after the gas incident. Bloke came on Tuesday and tried to say there wasn’t a gas leak despite two other people saying there was, he then changed his mind to well yes there is a leak but not worth doing on work on but again why did to other people feel that it needed work doing in the end my mum forced him to put a new pipe in instead of pulling Gemsnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841469.post-1079866889669857772004-03-21T11:01:00.000Z2004-03-21T11:17:34.326ZTake the Affliction Test Today!A Rum and Monkey disease.
