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.
[Poll #597245]
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!

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*

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*

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?
no subject
But Michelle is very sweet, though rather different from me ;)
No?
