I have to do some work. I am finding it really really really hard to get into it. It is summer. I just want to laze around all day and babble with you guys :-)
I got a 6 month extension but now that the pressure is off I find myself putting off doing any work. Aaargh. The whole point of the extension was to do it NOW so I don't have to worry about it during term and will just be able to play around making it better as opposed to finishing off writing the damned thing.
I was supposed to be able to stay in my current on campus accomodation through the academic year. Now I am told that they are full so unless someone pulls out (which can always happen right up until the last minute) I have to find somewhere else to live from mid February. Aaargh. I hate flatting and flatmates. I want to live on campus :-(
Crap crap crap.
It will be good when classes start in March though. When I start tutoring again I will have some more money again. It is a real struggle now on student allowance. Enough to cover basic living costs - but by that they really do mean basic. After rent and tobacco and food there really is nothing left. I figure that has a lot to do with why I don't eat properly. I simply can't afford to. Aaargh.
I am all right. Just grumbling really :-)

Oh you sound so much like me. As soon as i get an extension the pressures off and i don't do anything till the pressure starts up agian.
How can they tell you last minute that you are not alowed to live there? that is so rude! I will keep my fingers crossed that someone pulls out. Do you work as well as go to school?

Ah, well I didn't get my application in on time. I didn't know whether I was going to residential treatment or not... Anyway, they said they had a couple of places left so I should get in an application. Then it took me a while to get around to it. My fault really :-(
>I will keep my fingers crossed that someone pulls out.
Heh heh, as will I :-)
Either that or that I can go to residential treatment at the time I have to leave.>Do you work as well as go to school?
I work as a tutor during term time. So I am ok during term time. It is just over the summer (now) that I don't work. I wanted to do summer school but the only course was 'Environmental Ethics' which isn't really my area. They said 'nope' because I should be writing my thesis :-(
How rude...

Hmm.
The thought of having to look around for somewhere to live really throws me into a spin. I want to live by myself but can't afford to. I want to just shut myself in my room all the time when there are other people in the house and flatmates don't tend to like that. They take it personal or whatever.
My flatmates here probably think I am strange. Still they are polite to my face and that is all that matters to me really. I don't do anything social with them. I go to my room when they have people over. I just don't feel comfortable / don't want to join them. I have you guys and some friends in the real world but these people aren't my friends they are my flatmates. I just can't do the social thing.
aaargh.
