Things: Nice/Not Nice
Nice things
1. My best friend from uni is coming to live with the boy and me following a break up with her boyfriend.
2. It should be really fun – we used to get on stupidly well as students – drunk, eating crap, sleeping in the same bed (the boy has special hopes for that one I think!). Better still is the fact that she has volunteered to pay rent – which I hadn’t asked for, but now means that
3. I can buy the shiny new wardrobes that I have had my eyes on! Plus my parents gave me a car for Christmas (although I can’t drive), so the boy sold his skanky excuse for a car for a few hundred and so we can go on a fun weekend in February.
4. I’m thinking… Budapest. Anyone been there?
5. Also, my tutor says my first draft of my first Masters essay is OK. Which is good because I now just have to tweak it, waffle through a few more lines of the conclusion and it’s done, rather than having to rewrite it.
6. Also, I went to my new course yesterday and it was fantastic. 17th century politics are yummy.
7. It looks increasingly likely that I will be able to set up a classics department in my school next year, and be head of it. How much fun is that?
8. I am going to dinner with my friend for his birthday on Friday and there will be two celebrity comedians present. I’m already laughing!
Not so nice things
1. I am shattered from marking, and have to take on a girls geography class because the teacher has gone on maternity leave. Very inconsiderate pregnant lady. When they told me I cried, because I hate geography – a subject which requires you to copy and colour in maps as far as I can remember.
2. The crying may have been due to exhaustion (see first point).
3. At college yesterday I accidentally volunteered to do a presentation on the imagery of Charles I next week, which means I have to spend the weekend in the library AGAIN. Still, at least it’s fairly close to the shops.
4. Last night, the condom broke.
On balance, not so bad!

amillionpieces / Website (10.1.07 16:09) 17th century politics? Is it wrong that this makes me absurdly jealous? All that treachery and power is so interesting. You'll probably find the archive on the house of lord's site quite useful, it has all sorts including... Charles 1 Death Warrant Interestingly enough, the monarchy site has extracts from his defence at the trial. I hope you have fun with your fried! |

pinkjellybaby / Website (10.1.07 16:24) the condom broke? is that a big problem? but from the rest of it, it seems to be pretty much on the good side! |

bertie (10.1.07 16:34) Jeeves suggests that it's always worth noting that said contraceptives are only 98.1% effective, however he does think that all is probably ok. |
