New year…new start
Well, it’s the end of another year and I must say, I’m not dissapointed!! It hasn’t been the best of years although it’s been a huge improvement on 2008, guess that wasn’t hard though, hopefully it will continue to improve and 2010 will be great! It’s got the makings of being great, so many good things planned, just have to get through these last few months in Bournemouth. Can’t wait until July 8th, Canada here I come! Then after that will hopefully have my own flat 
should be good.
On the uni side of things I really need to get and write my dissertation so I can get on with my major! Oh well, going to enjoy myself tonight and worry about that tomorrow..
The minor…
the minor is finally done, wasn’t too bad either. the presentation went quite well (at least i thought it did) but we shall see. only one negative-ish comment, but even then it wasn’t really negative, just a suggestion of leaving something out in the project, which if i do actually makes my life a hell of a lot easier
loads of work still to do though now that it’s over…dissertation and the major, scary! oh well, going to enjoy Christmas and get properly stuck into it in the new year….
end of the minor…
only a week and my minor will be completely finished, thank god! i think it went ok, the prototype would probably have been better if i had done a bit more to it, but i’m really struggling with my memory issues, making it hard to do it. i’m not really too worried about the presentation, tbh, they either like it or they don’t, at least i know James backs it, and hopefully Mark won’t be too harsh on me, although it has been known for him to make people cry :-S
dissertation is going well, getting all my ideas down on paper at the mo in random paragraphs, then going to go over them all and expand on them, then cut and paste them all around so it all makes sense! on the topic of dissertation, i can’t believe i’ve been so bloody stupid! i should know that facebook is not the place to write certain things, but oh no, i went and did it anyway (although i guess at the time it didn’t seem like it was wrong, i mean, i wasn’t slagging off Thornton’s but Castlepoint and just generally letting off steam, but i guess someone saw it and got the wrong end of the stick and has spoken to my manager. she’s not happy, which is fair enough and i’m really worried i’ve screwed up the good relationship i’ve got going with her 
i can handle it if i get in trouble with Thornton’s itself, but i really don’t want to have messed with how me and Sal get on, guess i will find out tomorrow…) i fecking hate Facebook at the mo, stupid stupid stupid! and it’s all my own damn fault, should have thought before i typed…
and to top off such a great week i lost 2 and a half pounds on my diet this week and get moaned at by the website for losing it too quick! no congratulations, well done, you’re doing great, but a be careful…grr!!!
design day
so i thought that it was going to be really boring and awful and that they were going to rip our ideas to shreds and we would leave thinking ‘fuck!’ but it was actually quite helpful…they didn’t rip our ideas to shreds, just made us think about things that we hadn’t thought of, and lets face it, better three weeks before the minor hand in than during the presentation of the minor!
got a lot to think about with my idea, think i’m still going to go in the direction i was going as haven’t really had any negative feedback so think it should work, just got to actually get down and do it now!
dissertation stuff seems to be going ok, think i’m on track, but want to get my overview done, hopefully by the beginning of next week, that way i can spend my time on the minor and get that sorted so i get a decent mark, fingers crossed
stressed
i’ve only been back a few weeks and already the stress levels are rising! so my idea is really similar to someone else’s, or should i say that someone else’s idea is very similar to mine? so now i have to make it absolutely more amazing than it was going to be just so it doesn’t look like a re-make of whatever the other guy does…not good!
beginning of the year
well i’ve finally enrolled and started back lectures and started back at Thorntons. it’s strange being back after all this time, but i’m enjoying it so far, just trying to get stuck into everything. still not sure what to do for my major, a little worried about that tbh, but i’m sure it will fall into place, going to see James on monday to talk through some stuff. disso idea is pretty clear and got my first tutorial on wednesday about that which is good, got some research done already and got a few books out of the library today which are looking pretty readable!
working at Thornton’s again is nice, although it’s not as great as i thought it was, maybe it’s because it’s been built up in my mind for the last year so now i’m actually back it’s a bit of a let down, although it’s still by far the best job i’ve ever had.
back in BoMo
so i’m back in Bournemouth now, finally! in a four bed house in the Student Village, which is nice, with one other girl and two guys, all seem lovely. the girl, Sophie, is in her second year so i don’t feel quite so old and out of it which is good. got all my doctors and gym stuff sorted today, which is great so can just get straight back into that.
still need to think of a project though, i have no idea what to do, argh!!! oh, on the plus side i definitely passed my second year, still not sure with what, but a pass is a pass
start back at Thornton’s on Thursday which is good, then going out with them all in the evening, which is even better! everything is getting back on track at last
Fed up…
I thought the idea of wanting to be with someone was that you actually are with that someone, and not someone else, making up excuse after excuse of why you are still with that someone else. I also thought that honesty is the best policy. Don’t promise me something if you can’t keep it. I’m sick of just being thought of as someone for sex, it’s happened far too much lately. Why aren’t there any guys out there that want the whole package, not just the sex? Is it so much to ask to be treated like a human being an not just a sex toy? I guess not at the moment. Don’t take me for a fool, treat me right for once, please…
2 Weeks
Two weeks tomorrow and i will be back on my way to BoMo!!! Can’t wait! Got so much to sort out before then though, its crazy! Really looking forward to it now, was a bit worried before, but now i’m just excited to be going back, everything is falling into place. I know it’s going to be hard, but i’m prepared for that, all i can do is try my hardest, so will see what happens…
omfg!
So i’m not happy, went clubbing in Brighton last night (much prefer Bournemouth) and i drove as was starting work at 8 this morning so didn’t really want to get drunk. Parked on Madeira Drive as it was free, and some stupid twat decided to stand on my car so now have a dent on the drivers side on the roof, probably going to cost a stupid amount to sort out! Grr! And on top of that my new dress that i bought for it has gone all funny on the side where my bag was, which is ridiculous! So annoyed!
