Back at uni from tomorrow. Nearly packed and ready to go back in that sense. In other senses I'm not really, the fact that I won't see Richard for a whole week is pretty horrendous but we're comforting each other with the knowlage that it's only for about 5 weeks. The year is pretty much over.
On a happier note, wasn't Doctor Who good? I think I rather love the Ood and did we all spot that thing that links in to the lst few episodes? And YAY for the Sontarns next week.
Driving lesson number two went very well, and it was actually lots of fun towards the end. Which is certainly going to help if I'm not dreading it!

Yay for new glasses! They arrived today and are all shiny and new. Were they worth £300? NO comment :( At least I can see a little better now.
I'm trying to figure out where the last four weeks have gone. I'm back at uni from Sunday which is going to be more bitter than sweet. I'm looking forward to all the excitment of three new modules, finsihing them all finnaly and picking next years but it brings separation from Richard and horrid summer exams. I haven't done any revision at all, but I've got tomorrow ear marked for that. If I can at least get some of the revision notes done things will be better. And as for not seeing Richard till weekends, well, I'm not thinking about that at all. It will suck.
My driving lesson last week went ok, the instructor is nice and I'm almost looking forward to my next lesson. Mum's car is comng up from Nannas on Thursday so it's all happening :) I have another lesson booked for Thursday so we shall see. It wasn't a complete disaster so that helps
Stay well folks and be happy xxxx

Ouchie that hurt my bank balence
Right unless I get distracted once I've blogged I'm turning the laptop off and going to remake those notes I need to finish my coursework. As the chances of getting distracted are pretty big we'd better make this quick.
On the "big" note, my glasses bill was huge. Not £100, not £200 but just over THREE HINDERED POUNDS!
And my right eye isn't any worse and the left has only got worse by one point, (unfortunately it is a vital point because things aren't so clear these days).
So yes, £300+ for new glasses and that's with a 20% discount for having my contacts from them as well. The frames were about £140ish so what made up the rest was my lenses. If I weren't so blind and didn't need uber-thinned fancy lenses I'd have much cheaper glasses. Nuts.
However the glasses are really really nice. I very nearly ended up with some Velma from Scooby Doo style purple ones but settled for some more professional metal ones. I feel rather science nerd in them, perfect for all my PCR reactions I plan to run :)
Tonight I get to go see my sister in some drama thing her club are doing. She did have a line as a king and mum spent ages making her a cape only to find the scene has been cut and now my sister isn't speaking at all and is a fairy. Big changes. As long as she's happy.
Currently I'm resisting the urge to snack. It's a strong urge but I should do some work and fight it. I did say I was blogging then working, but we have been to Tesco and back during it. OOoooppps.
Ok I AM going to do this work. Again.

I bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
Right a proper blog seems to be called for. A fair bit seems to have happened in the last few days, Richard and I went back to Lancaster for a few days and had a lovely time. It was brilliant to have the flat to ourselves, although 2 in a single bed is rather difficult.
Mastermind was brilliant, rather interesting, even if the large number of media students thought it was boring. I got the impression they'd never seen it before they went so hadn't a clue. John Humphrey's is lovely, rather funny when he wants and I had an urge to take him home and make him an honory grandparent.
I've managed to finish one piece of coursework today, although not the one I set out to do admittedly. I discovered I've left a bunch of notes back at uni, even more annoying as Richard was using that pad of paper for nerd letters and it never occurred to me that the notes were in it and I should bring it home! Which means I have to do it all over again. Bugger!
Things are still good with Richard. Yesterday I was in work for the first time in AGES without him being there too, and god it was weird. And boring, very very boring. People please buy your deli goods on a Monday, the store is DEAD! He did pick me up after work though and we spent the evening/night together. Friday and Saturday see the end of Torchwood and the beginning of Tennants last full series of Dr.Who. His excitement has rubbed off on me, I'm eager to see how they're going to explain this "daughter" they keep hinting about. Many seem to have forgotten the Dr. must already have a daughter, given his first regeneration pootled around with his granddaughter. See I am a nerd :)
And proud of it :)
