wake up!

Hi all sorry about a lack of update. Just that I keep trying to start one, only to give up because of it sounding dreadful, and there was nothing much to write about.

Ok well there are a few things anyways. The work which i have managed to avoid with considerable skill over the last 10 weeks finally caught up with me, and so much of last week was spent working, or more accurately fretting over work. Anyways finally got the chunk of geology coursework completed (phew) so thats a weight off my mind. Just the Geog essay on climate change and a nice fat ICT package in for Wednesday. Which is gonna be so much fun.

Oh yeah my Aunt has hairy cell leukaemia. Apparently its the best kind you can get (if you can say that about leukaemia). Its not urgent, normally it occurs in old people who die of something else before it affects them too much, but she will still need chemo after christmas, not a pleasant experience. Its not nice to see someone you are close to seriously ill. The last time I was Grandma and Grandad but I was only about 6 when they became ill and 8 when they died. Not that it didn't hurt of course, but I guess it didn't all sink in back then. I hope she gets better.

Oh yeah had a long chat with Stacey for the first time in 2 weeks. she still wants to be friends after all. The conversation tone however was joking hostility, which is really thinly veiled actual hostility. I think we both need more time to calm down, but hey, if she wants to stay friends, I owe it to her.

Went on another hike yesterday. This time up to Ambleside in the Lakes. Wasn't nearly as nice as last week because we got the arse end of Lakes weather i.e. cold rain. But still beautiful, always nice to get out there.

Bop was a drunken blur. I danced. Enough said :o

Not wanting to sound like a scrooge or anything but it would be great if Christmas put itself back a bit, I've run out of money and can't afford pressies. Ok that sounds a bit drastic, but seriously, where did it all go????? Here money money money...
