1,2,3 or 4 reasons to be blue

Although easier than going to a boring, soul-destroying job, studying is difficult. Maybe I should get out more, not concentrate solely on my degree. Whenever I have gone out, though, I am filled with guilt and a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Two or three or four other issues: Number the 1. I sent away the meter man because no one had told me we were going to get a new meter. Therefore, I (wrongly) assumed that we did not need his services. Anyway, he told me he was going to read the meter, not replace it. Had he told me he was going to replace it, I would naturally have let him in. The fool! I told my Dad and rang up the electicity company and they will send a new man (perhaps the old man, not that he was old, you know what I mean). So that's fixed, but not til next Wednesday. D'oh!
Number 2: My brother (the youngest of the brothers, but not THE youngest as that is me) infected the computer in the living room. I told hom not to click, but he clicked and now I will have to fix it for I am IT support, apparently. But, what nobody seems to understand is I only have a rudimentary grasp on IT and computers but it has been designated as my job. It stresses me out and I need all the boys to leave me alone and not ask questions whilst I fix it. And they don't do they? AND they ask over and over again how this problem (whatever problem) has happened. I DON'T KNOW!! My usual advice is to turn it off and on again... alas, with a virus that doesn't fix the problem does it?
Also on the subject of computers is number 3. My Mum wants me to print off some pictures, easy peasy but No! They have to be x sized, No! bigger, OH! the quality's not great is (I told you blowing it up would blur it)... I just wish that people would 1. hear me 2. listen to me and 3. believe me.
There may have been a fourth problem but I am too sick-feeling to think of it and I have a lot of reading to do too.
There are many things I could complain about but, hey, at least I have my health. I genuinely mean that and do not wish to sound moany and ungrateful.
I have a test on Saturday for maths which I keep forgetting things for (my GCSE certificates, tracing paper, my learning agreement). You think that's bad? We've been doing this class since September and half the class still don't have the book! Also, my math's mate has gone AWOL and I can't seem to get through to her phone for some reason. Many of the student's are getting whiny about the course and I still have to go to university as well as study bloody maths. . I feel that there is a limited amount of space in my brain, and that I would just like to go a live in a box or a hole with a small animal for company (perhaps a ferret) and some choclate for sustenance. Or something.
Maybe I am just feeling a little bit blue. I don't know. I don't know anything. Except that I feel like going to bed for a week and starting again another day.
P.S. The guy sitting next to me at uni is FUCKING annoying and I would like to stab him in the face...

eurgh

Feeling awfully melancholy, but keep on reminding myself that I have my health, I am not in debt to the point that I may lose my home, everyone around me is still here, school is going OK... etc, etc, etc. And yet I have been sitting here for several hours (days, but who's counting?) with tears in my eyes and greyness in my mind.
This all sounds terribly ominous, but I feel like a silly teenager. Ugh!
Depression? Hmmmm... I don't like to sound so dramatic and clinical. I just feel a bit sad.

Anyway!

2nd half of semester 2

I'm broke and can't wait for the 14th January but that is more than a month away... oh dear. Otherwise, despite the fact that we just had a week off I need more time to sleep etc... I am really rather tired, and am not managing my time properly. Have completed my essay (due in tomorrow) and didn't have to stay up until 2am so maybe I am managing my time better than I think I am!

Moonlighting has started on CBS Drama and has 'series-linked' it. I love Bruce Willis AND the Moonlighting theme tune. Woohoo!! So that's my evening's sorted out, eh?

Going to sleep now. ZZZzzzzzz

I am a geek. Yay!

I have submitted both of my due assignments 2 days early. Now I can sit back and chill out and watch Zombieland and read Silas Marner... and Nietszche. Woohooooo!

Such a nerd!



Let's hope this organised trend continues!

On a different note: how loud do these TV channels want adverts to be? I just nearly had my ears exploded!

Victoria in the future is happy

It's been a long time! ach well the clocks went back and so we gained an hour, which I have wasted sitting here watching Sunday morning TV on BBC 2. Got a couple of assignments to do and MUCH reading to plough through, but I'll be alright. As you can see in the future I am happy.

What you do to get your equally odd message is write something, translate it into Japanese, then back again, etc until you reach an equilibrium. Postsecret did it. My message started out as Victoria is happy now... clearly I am not!

Tried to watch a movie called Autumn. It's a zombie film, based on the books (that I loved) by Dave Moody. The movie was rather disappointing though. Hmmm shall try to watch it all the way through and reserve judgment til then. Also, watched Taken. What a fantastic film! Brilliant. Nuff said. Gonna watch Zombieland on Weds (hopefully), hope it's good. Not great reviews but it's gotta be OK enough hey? I mean, it IS about zombies. My favourite... ?


Anyway shall close-read a passage from Jane Eyre and write some shit about it (probably)... Fun, fun, fun. I need a coffee!

I want my mum to come back from Germany

I miss her.

My dog's been sleeping with me in my bed and is not a generous sleeper. She keeps nudging me in the face. Tut

Very glad to be back at uni' and college is going okay too. Very busy and rather happy. Busy = happy you see so that's a relief!

Am going to sleep now as I have to get up early for lectures. woohoo!

A-tishoo

atishoo we all fall down.

Went to the Imperial War Museum yesterday, with my History pal. the sheep-farmer's daughter. It was so nice (and without sounding like a complete arsehole) to talk to someone who I didn't have to explain anything to. Anyway, we had some wine and discussed how awful The Guardian is, but that we continue to read it and the fact that she is 'a self-loathing Guardian reader' but not a liberal-leftie. My excuse is it's 30p from the University shop. We also talked about history, Charlie Brooker, Jo Brand, My thick mate, and her sister. It was very pleasant... And although we did the sensible thing of drinking water I still woke up rather hungover. Not good. :(
My mum is in Germany and was a little worried that no one would speak English. She's Spanish and used to going 'home' for holiday time, but this time went to visit her sister in Deutschland. She didn't believe me when I told her that many Germans spoke English. Went to water her plants, but a mouse scared me. Hopefully it'll rain! PLEASE rain. My mum will KILL me!

Lectures start tomorrow. Thank God. I have sorted everything that needed sorting and have received my student loan. Bought some trainers and clothes and a miniature Victoria Cross. What more do I need? Am really looking forward to tomorrow. Although it's Writing the First World War and so quite sad and depressing etc, it'll be so good to put my brain to use!

I have spent too long looking up alternatives to the QWERTY keyboard and now feel I know enough about it to be 'informed'. One thing though; how LONG would it take to get used to any other type of keyboard?

Anyway, must dash. Off to blow my nose. Hence the title of this post. I am being adversly affected by my rhinitis. AH-Tishooooo!
