Patient moments you chill to the bone under infinite greys

Hello! I do believe I am home. At last!

I kid, a little anyway. It is good to be home, but I enjoyed my holiday(s) loads. A quick recap for those interested:

Istanbul - Beautiful city, the bazaar rocks, school stuff was so-so, had great fun, drank far too much. Have made new friends, which is *weird*

Norway - Very pretty nature, have no clue where precisely we were, spent a lot of time sailing which was great, however ferrys suck. Started The Historian which is wonderful, if very, very creepy.

Bath - Very pretty girlfriend, was incredibly nice, Bristol is strange, however I had a lovely time.

And there we go. My vacation in sentence fragments, for your enjoyment.

And now that I am home, I have gone straight into panicking about my application. But I have made a good start today, at least - I just need a referee, to write up my reference, then to write up my grades and we're golden. Or at least we should be. I'd hate to think I just spent an hour paring my stupid personal statement down to 4,000 characters for nothing. That would leave me a little bitter.

However, there is one small thing. I can't decide whether I want to apply to Newcastle, Leicester or Reading for my sixth university. Well, okay, that's a lie - I want to apply to Newcastle [AAB, which incidentally would leave me with 3 universities demanding AAB, 2 asking for ABB and Lancaster needing a BBB. So the question is: do I switch it to Leicester [ABB], Reading [BBB] or do I leave it as it is, with Newcastle? And as is with all these kinds of crisis, I put the question to my friendslist. I trust in your wisdom.

Meanwhile, Jamie Cullum is actually incredibly good. His new album, anyway. Particularly Londom Skies. And his version of Fascinating Rhythm. And Photographs, which is actually very Billy Joel-esque. With a side of jazz.

Oh, and you know what else is good? Having my computer back. *hugs it* Never leave me again, baby!

Weeeeelcome back! I was wondering where the hell you went to.. I thought you'd be back sooner.. ah well. Hullo! Glad you had fun, though. Yay for travelling. I'm hoping to go to Denmark this upcoming July.. but we'll see. Welcome back again. ;D

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, I thought I'd have time to check in on the Friday between my trip to Istanbul and the trip to Norway, but I didn't *grins*

And it would be cool if you could come to Denmark, practice your Danish ;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/trobany__/]

That it would be. And I am. Like a silly little loser in between classes and free time. It's fun talking to myself in Danish, really. XD

Eeeee!! You're back! It's been so lonely here without you :(

And yay you for having a good time! I was a bit worried after you sent me that text message, but apparently I needn't have worried! Who did you make friends with?

*bounces*

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Aw, I missed you too honey!

I know, I was really surprised! It's not like I didn't have moments where it wasn't so great (people having/simulating sex about two meters away, for example), but I am sorry for making you worry. I had a good time with Pia and Mette particularly, they're really sweet and funny, but the rest of the people were quite cool as well, even Michelle who I had my doubts about ;) *boogies*

[shubassdk.livejournal.com]

Michelle wouldn't be the person who had/simulated having sex two metres away? Because I'd believe that.

I don't know those two, actually, but yay you for having a good time! Michelle is indeed a very interesting individual. Clara has bonded a lot with her and I, like you, had my doubts in the beginning, but she's actually very sweet :)

Hey, did you hear about me and Viggo?

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Yep. With Maja's ex-boyfriend, which was interesting.

But Michelle is very sweet, though rather different from me ;)

No?

Glad you're back, and glad to hear you've started The Historian - I loved every page of it!

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

The Historian is simply amazing. I couldn't put it down.

And I'm glad to be back!

Go for Newcastle! That's where I am right now on an English degree, and believe me, it's a wonderful place. I get the feeling that they can be a little more lenient with entry grades than some other places, too- I only got ABB, but since one of my B grades was fairly close to an A they let me in anyway.

[saturnalia.livejournal.com]

Oh, and welcome back. Obviously. :D

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Thanks :-D

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

I think I will, I'll just have to take my chances. Newcastle does look amazing, both the city and the university.

[lattara.livejournal.com]

It's so good to see you back here, sweetie - I've really missed you.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Missed you too *hug*

[lattara.livejournal.com]

*hugs you lots*

[eska-rina.livejournal.com]

Welcome home :D


I have no idea about the universities. I just took Reading because it's sounded best ;)

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

You were in Norway and didn't TELL ME?????????

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Trust me, I was literally in the middle of nowhere, Norway, with my family, with no possibility of going anywhere, or I would have told you and tried to set up a visit ;)

[siggen1.livejournal.com]

Well, if you were on a load of ferries, you might damn well've been near MY little corner of nowhere, Norway.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

You live near Larvik?!

[siggen1.livejournal.com]

Okay then. But you damn well could've been!
