Leaving Sibly

I can't sleep tonight so I have decided to blog about leaving Sibly. Tomorrow I am moving into my new house in Reading. Most of my stuff has been moved out of my room here and is now in storage at my parents; I am living in a near empty room with a few boxes and bags of things I will move to st barth tomorrow. A lot of people moved out of the hall today and i feel a bit like i have stumbled onto the mary celeste. I feel like i should have moved out today. It's like sitting alone in a cinema after the movie has finished.

Right! now i am bloody angry! some bloody stupid idiots on a floor below me are throwing glass bottles out of their window! How bloody inconsiderate, someone else is going to have to clear that up.

Now i really wish i wasn't still here.

29 June 2006

When i woke up this morning i did not realise that today would turn out to be so important to me. if i had not been so caught up in packing up all my wordly goods i may have noticed it creeping up.

The first one was finished today and although things may change i will always remember today i looked at it in its first flush of youth and i am making it happen.

Dreams can come true.

Survivors

We have survived the first year of the MSc course (and now trying not to think about the second year).

Moving Amy

Lammie and I oversaw Amy packing to make sure it got done. Unfortunately it was hotter than hell in that attic and we were tortured by the presence of two electrical fans which didn't work.

I documented the move with my camera whilst Lammie actually did something practical and helpful.

The return of the grad ball handbag was perhaps a little overwhelming for Amy.

Ranting

Rant No. 1
For the love of all that is holy people! are you trying to lose people from this course? Give us a little support here! Give Rachel back her 10%!

Rant No. 2
Rude people in supermarkets who push pass you to get to the tomatoes without saying excuse me or apologising. I was tempted to throw myself to the floor like a football player and roll around screaming that she had thrown me to the floor just because she couldn't get to the produce quick enough.

Rant No. 3
Why does my brother have to steal my mother for babysitting duties on the very day i need help moving house? How is that fair? Don't expect to be invited round for tea anytime soon!

That's enough

s**t f**k b****r f**k s**t ^*%^%$£"%*@^%$@£"$%@@*£"@@"$%^?<@^%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the presentation did not go well.

I passed at least but i hated the feedback because i knew what it would say. i know i am bad at presentations, i don't do public speaking (unless it is in a completely social setting after i have had a few drinks and i am standing on a table. but moving on). I am feeling completely and utterly useless, i did not want to go to that seminar this afternoon because all i could think about was how bloody awful i was. I keep expecting them at some point to take me to one side and recommend to me quietly that i should drop the course. I got my neurology marks back today and i got 85%. Such news would normally feel me with joy but it is overshadowed by my bloody poor presentation.

Anyway in other news I have definitely got the milton keynes placement and i'm just waiting to hear the actual dates of it.

Now i am going to get myself away from this computer and this room because for the next few days i shall be holed up here trying to get an essay done for friday, but for the rest of today i am going to go out and enjoy the sunshine. hasta luego.

I am a bad aunt. Today is Hayden's christening in Loddon (no, i have spelt that correctly, it is in Norfolk) and i couldn't go because i have too much work on. sorry kiddo but i will always be there for you if you really needed me, if you were sick or in trouble. When you are a teenager (or younger because remember you're a Considine) and completely hammered and need to hide from your parents, i will be there to provide you with a place of refuge. You will also be grateful that there is one less person to remind you of how you screamed at the christening and threw up on the vicar (or something similar). I change my mind, I am a wonderful aunt. Love you kiddo.

A little sea-bathing would set me up forever!

Yesterday some of us went on a road trip to Brighton.

It took us four hours to get there because the M25 was closed due to an accident and i had lead everyone on a guided tour of surrey trying to find an alternative route; unfortunately many other people were doing this.
