Christmas busy-ness
Hiya,
Music today: Greenday, Razorlight, Mull Historical Society, Bob Dylan
So its been crazy over the last week or so with Christmas and everything, which passed by unspectacularly for another year. Which was nice, at least its out of the way now and we can look forward to the serious business of getting trashed for new year tomorrow, yey! Attempting to make 3 different parties which should be a challenge but should be fine :) Working still, but not as much as I should, progress has slowed now I'm actually reading theory rather than stories :( But it is proving interesting and (I hope) useful to my dissertation so I will carry on. And having read Laura's latest email and speaking to Rich today, not only am I not alone in having a huge workload this Chritmas hols, but there are others with more work on than I do. I'm not sure if this is encouraging or disparaging :s Oh well. Guitar isn't going to be here for ages either, going to write a shirty email to the company now see if I can get anything done about it. In the meantime, the Peavy continues to fall to pieces.
Forgot about a simple twist of fate,

Life strolls by
Hiya,
Music today: Greenday
Well its christmas eve tomorrow, and I will be working as hard as ever. Got my first book finished today, and started my second, though I hope to have that finished by tomorrow, it isn't as long. I miss everything from York, the people, the place and my lifestyle. That's not to say I'm not enjoying things here, spent some time with my cousin last night and that was really nice. We watched Spiderman 2, how exciting. And found the pair of jeans I've been after for ages when dad took us shopping yesterday, though he himself wasn't so keen on them! Ah well, can't please everyone all of the time. The problem of my friends remains, though to a lesser degree than when I last wrote, being around them more is helping, as I get to know them again, and seeing them again tonight, which I'm looking forward to. Back to the books now I think, I've had my time off to check my mail and write this, dissertations wait for no (wo)man! Also, I really hope my bass arrives tomorrow, its ordered so fingers crossed!
Write soon,

Back home
Hiya,
Music today: Dylan
so am finally home, and its been quite an emotional couple of days. I'm finding it hard to adjust to being back here: amongst the surroundings, my family, and it has to be said, my friends. I worry so much that I dont understand them and that I'm upsetting them with what I do and say. Its so hard, not being here so much of the time, and I come back, knowing its changed since the last time I was here, but not knowing how, and I find it really hard to adapt to the situation I now find myself in. That's the best I can do for now really, I'll try and explain more when I've thought some more.
Work is ridiculous. Have set myself the target of 100 pages a day to try and get it all done. I cant see that happening over the next 2 weeks but I'm just about keeping up with it at the moment. If I've got the money, going to see Jimmy Eat World in March as well, yet another gig to look forward to :)

Sheer insanity
Hiya,
Music today: none so far
So life is still amazingly busy, and this in a week when I'm not letting myself do too much work! Still got loads of books to look forward to reading over Christmas. In fact this may be my last blog boefore I go home on Saturday, back to good ol' Bury. Yipee :) It will be nice to be home after such a long time away this year, I do miss everyone. And I get to buy my new bass, how exciting. To be honest I've just been so busy everything coming up in the next week or so just hasn't sunk in, the fact that Christmas is just over a week away has passed me by completely! Maybe that's a good thing, I'm not sure, but its not that important. Finished my present shopping yesterday which was a relief. Am now complettely without enough money for next month's rent. Nice one. Well, off to get more books from the library, I shall endeavour to post something before terms up, as its Helen's birthday on Saturday so will be out for festivites on the Friday. Also work proving hard but enjoyable, 8 days out of 9 working, yeah yeah yeah!

Keeping up
Hiya,
Music today: The Killers, Badly Drawn Boy
I know I'm useless at keeping this thing updated at the mo but so much is happening (and I'm so behind with my work) that its proving a challenge to do anything fun at the moment :( Neway, gathering at Meg's last night for wine and mince pies was nice, Amy went to France yesterday so I'm sure she's having more fun than me right now! And all I can do is complain that I'm really busy. Oh well, done lots of work so will have money for new guitar (big grin appears over face at this point). Also have the badminton christmas diner to look forward to on Wednesday, should be lots of fun, as long as I don't get as drunk as last year(not being able to stand rings a bell . . .). Till then I'm sure it will be all good.
Write soon,

Good weekend, busy week
