Not heading into school today cause i all of a sudden have a sore back think this is the ache and pains starting to happen from the accident. Went into a&e yesterday just to get checked over and i'm fine minus the sore back. So i went out after we had came back from edinburgh cause we were going out for a meal but about 7.50 i started to feel really sick so i got my dad to pick me up cause we were walking through Dalgety Bay. Heading in the bath in a bit to see of that helps:Dx. And they gave me a tablet at the hospital to stop my stomach pains for a bit and it helped but i looked drunk and was woozy.
It's got a bit better now. Met loads of people last night so i feel a bit more confortable and stuff. I'm at Portsmouth doing English and Journalism.Quote:

my mate from home came to visit tonight which was nice and i was in lectures, feel a lot happyier now back in a routine.
Stressful day!
Well no, school was ok.. same old same old but was nice for a change and I went into "do work mode" which was ace, I feela ll good about myself for doing work now haha :)
Then I got home and my Mum and Sister were at my house which was nice :) and then my Mum got my brother from school and he was at my Nans too and was quite chuffed to see what his amazing big sister had got for him - Lots of conkers :D haah how nice am I?! lol.
Then I had dancing and everythign went to pot, I'm supposed to start at half 7 but my Granch didn't get in from work until 25 to 8! So I was in a state what with the show coming up and then when I was at dancing I was in a bad mood as it is but then the bitchy girls started and omg I literally wanted to let allll steam loose but I couldn't!
I'm all calm now now, jsut chillingg and nosing about on here and Facebook etc :) Hopefully tomorrow is a better day :)
It is my birthday on here today - I joined up one year ago today :cool: And all I wanted was a sneak preview of what was coming up in my favourite soaps :lol: Thank you to all of you for making this one fantastic forum :clap:
didnt do much sunday, went to a cheerleading meeting for the freshers which was boring cos we just sat at the back so the freshers could see who we were and that was it for 1hr! they all went to the bar afterwards but i came home cos i didnt really feel like staying
yesterday i had my first lecture, theres only 8 of us doing that module! when i was waiting outside the classroom i found out we were meant to have done work for it but i didnt know cos i hadnt got the email! so that panicked me a bit! but the lecturer was really nice and i just tried my best to improvise it lol! but the module was quite good and i wasnt sitting there confused the whole time so thats good! then yesterday evening was the freshers cheerleading bar crawl so that we could meet all the freshers properly, i only went for a bit and left when they went to the club as ive got a 9am lecture today and i wasnt drinking so i was getting a bit bored as everyone else was really drunk! :( luckily my housemate has a 9am lecture today too so shes gonna give me a lift up :)
I am sooo tired. Freshers week takes it out of you lol. The union had a foam party last night which was awesome. I was right in the middle and got proper squished haha. Looked a right wreck when we left. Had to get up at 8 to go to some introduction lecture too, which wasn't good.
My TV has untuned itself somehow. and i forgot the remote. So my Mum is sending it to me in the post so i can make it work again. I didn't even think about bringing the remote cause i always use a freeview box, but oh well.
Had an early night last night and I'm still really tired. I quit workwise for tonight; I get to school half an hour early every day and work then, worked in the free, 2 hours when I got in and just done a bit more. Was nearly falling asleep in Economics, probably not helped by the fact that we were on the computers anyway. Not doing much in English which is annoying in a way; we don't have the anthologies as the teacher had planned to do a certain text instead but the edition we have to have is out of print.
I would find it very funny if all us 3 went to Glamorgan haha! :lol:
I have been filling out my UCAS form today and still improving bits of my personal statement .. there is so much to do for it, but hopefully it will all be worth it in the end.
My school has an open evening on Thursday, so I've been preparing for that, as I am performing part of my A Level Drama piece along with the rest of my group in my Drama class... arguments are already beginning to emerge though within the group.
We had our open evening a few weeks back; a bit earlier than usual this year for some reason. We finished at 12 because of it so EMA better not take the backdate away for that. Bus pass payment due again tomorrow :wall: It's coming out of my inheritence because EMA haven't paid me.
I;ve finally sent off for my EMA. Yippee!
Haha not that I'll get backpay because I never get to form in time! Darn it!
I'll have to bribe my form teacher :D Haha
Anyways, my days been ok actually...
Did most of my RE essay in my frees and I feel all good about myself now lol
Then went to the shops for dinner with my friend and I heard kitten cries again! And so did she! So on the way back we were going to look but couldn't hear them :( I'm starting to think maybe it could of been rat babies or mouse babies or bird babies...?
Then tongiht we went to our friends house because his Mums on holiday and we watched Awake.. fair play it is PANTS! but had a good twist!
Haven't long got in and I'm shattered! I need to concentrate on Uni and Ucas and all.. but I really cannot do it, it's really difficult, I can't big myself up because there's nothing to big myself up with! Haha and the job hunting is not succeeding :( Gah, but apart from that little hiccup... good day :D
meh had a bit of a rubbish day today! :( firstly i was late for my lecture even though we left the house 25mins before it started (and it only takes 10mins normally to drive up there) as my housemates car was blocked in and we didnt know whos car it was, then we got stuck at the train crossing, and then for some reason there was a huge jam getting into uni, and then i swear it took me about 10mins to get to the room as i was just walking down corridor after corridor lol! the lecture was ok though. then i had to go and pay my rent and my card wouldnt work even though i had enough money in my bank! anyway to cut a long story short as i cant be bothered to write it all now lol i have to wait for a new bank card as the bank have now cancelled my one! :angry: then i had cheerleading which i was really looking forward to as it was our first practise since weve been back but it was so boring cos they had to teach the freshers all the basics and so we had to do it all too!
glad youre ok tanQuote:

Then still need to tidy my room the final stages. Bought some new music for my ipod yesterday and went to my lectures. Like you say Di m i am trying to be good and go to all my letures.
Eww. Hideously sleep deprived and feeling a bit rubbish. 4 hours kip yesterday and went to bed at 5.30am this morning cos there was a 2 and a half hour evacuation then this woman woke us up at 10 cos our kitchen wasn't clean enough... gah :(
I've had such an upsy downy day today!!
School was good, I'm getting on track with work and I feel alot more confident in my lessons :)
Got home and it was nag nag nag nag nag, I cannot do anything right I tell you! So that hasn;t been very good.. and then to top it off my Nan throws somethign in about what her and my Mum were saying about me, seriously.. when they together all they do is slate me! Yet when I'm talking to either of them they're nice as pie! Grrr
But then Pride of Britain awards came on so that's been lush :) I love them soo much! The people are jsut sooo brave!
And then my friend asked me if we should all go on a girly holiday for like 3 days to Pontins n Brean sands 27th-30th December so I am literally buzzing!
2 of the girls are 18 so we have people to get in the booze and be our "adults", and it's only £33.88 each! Bargainnn :D
So now I'm in a really really good mood! I jsut hope it goes ahead!
I hate filling in forms :crying:
today i dont have any lectures/seminars but i had to go up to campus to meet up with this girl to do our presentation, we didnt get very much done! then had a meeting which was pointless, i hate beginning of year meetings! although got a free lunch as we waited over 1hr to get our food so they gave us a refund! just come back now from going out, it was quite an alright night though the prices have gone up! :(
Very upset and worried, a friend of mine has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is today finding out how far it has spread and what treatment she will have to have. :( Were looking forward to celebrate her husband's and my OH's birthday on Saturday but, understandably, they have called it off.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend i hope shes ok.
What uni you at Tori? Getting you up at 10 thats a bit harsh. I got a lecture in an hour so am going to blow dry my hair then head down to the arts building. Oh the joy! European Law!
I am really sorry to hear about your friend Perdita. I hope she recovers and gets the right treatment.
The other day, I got invited to an 18th party from this girl who is in my year. I only speak to her every now and again and don't know her particularly well, and the people going I don't really hang around with, so I don't know whether I should go or not...
There's also a camping trip that I got invited too on the same night.. hmm I will have to decide.
So sorry to hear about your friend Perdita, think positive though!
Good day :) Actually finished an essay on time, I need to type it up but that won't take me long.
Dancing was good too, everything was jsut relaxed and like.. calm :)
Really good day!
My friend has had tests done and luckily the cancer has not spread. She is going into hospital on Monday to be operated on next Wednesday, not sure yet about the extent of her surgery, but at least the news were not as bad as feared to start with. Thanks for your good wishes, guys, means a lot to me. :)
Thats good news, its the initial shock thats scary when you first hear the C word.
I am going home for the weekend. I have some concerts and people to see, so get it over and done with then i wont need to go back for a bit. But a single ticket is 6 quid with my rail card which i am really impressed with.
WIll also swing for my house mate if he turns the heating off one more time when someone has switched it on! Its driving me crazy! i thiknk the space will do us both good!
thursday i had a seminar which was ok, we just watched loads of comedy clips! i had to buy a book to read for next week and i had to get it in the campus bookshop cos otherwise i wouldnt get it on time, it costs a fortune in there and i was in the queue for at least half hour! and thats adding to the 1hr 20mins it took me to get up to uni cos of the stupid buses! :angry:
yesterday i didnt have to go anywhere cos i dont have lectures on friday and cheerleading was cancelled cos the sports hall was being used for some uni fair or something. so i stayed in my pyjamas all day lol and just lazed around a bit though i did finish tidying my room so that was good!
today im gonna try and do all the reading i have to do and start my presentation
i hate it when that happens! we were always getting told off for our kitchen being messy when i lived on campus!Quote:

I have a really bad hangover :sick: what a party last night!
sorry to hear about your grandadQuote:
