  • so fucking excited

    for download. this summer is going to be amazing, at least if the weather stays like this! just wrote my huge ‘to pack’ list and bought my tent today and a couple of other dload essentials. i still need to get my nails done, bleach my roots and get my extensions put back in, then it’s off to download in two weeks, and when we come back, planning and buying my train tickets and hotel reservations, and putting my holidays in for partying in london!

    so excited!

    time for shower #2 because i still don’t feel clean! excited for my best friend to start her training tomorrow at my work.

    ok

    this week has kind of sucked because i was hoping my download tickets would have arrived by now but they haven’t, and i haven’t sold a damn thing at work all week which always looks bad when it’s someone who’s been there as long as i have. on the plus side, my best friend the bisc has just finished uni today forevzz and i’ve managed to get her an interview for a job at my place tomorrow! can’t wait to see if she gets it so we can work together kenan and kel style!

    i really hope this weather situation clears up because i need it to be nice for download, but deep down i know there’s going to be at least one day of non-stop pounding rain i can feel it in my bones. 

    i need to buy

    • leopard print wellies
    • some kind of waterproof coat that is actually waterproof (my parka clearly proved itself useless last year)
    • more green hair dye
    • our tent (!)
    • maybe a new suitcase
    everything else i think i’ve got covered but it’s only like a month away. excited!
    something i drew tonight for my personal sketchbook

    reading about university/college courses is giving me a headache, i think i’ve decided i’m gonna go back to ccad to do a part-time foundation course over two years (only £1200 all together) this september, so at least if i do decide to go back to uni, i’ve got something recent and more appropriate to the fine art degree i (might) want to do. i should have never gone the first time, but everyone was dashing off straight after college was over, and i really wanted to take a gap year but i just gave in and ended up going to a course i immediately realised i didn’t want to do. it was such an expensive mistake and an upsetting experience that really put me off, which is why i’m being so careful around it this time around.

    if anyone’s getting pushed into going to university this year without them being sure it’s the right choice for them, tell your parents to be careful… they didn’t want me to take a gap year because they didn’t want me still here for a year, but instead they ended up stuck with me for two! a cautionary tale for all involved…

    i just wanna lie in bed and watch empire strikes back and be cuddled and kissed.

    but instead i’m tidying my room watching eternal sunshine of the spotless mind alone. sadface.
