A Boring Life in a Boring Town, with the same old crowd (whoooooaaa)
Ooh, it's been a couple of weeks now, so I must have some really interesting stuff to write about, right?Err... no. Sorry.
But that's the beauty of being home from my placement. From now until october (well, alright, from the beginning of may, til october) I'm free to do absolutely anything I like in the whole wide world. And if what I want to do is stay in bed most of the day and then get up and do feck all, that's what I'll do, dammit!!
So it all started about the 5th april, when I last wrote in fact. We left chez moi quite early and ended up getting to the ferry quite early, which was nice as it was sunny and nice n warm so we had a quick wander about (though there was nothing there really, except for loads of scratty chav kids with awful southern accents, they were ghastly, really they were) On the way to the ferry I fell asleep numerous times in the car, very unlike me, but then Dave and his mum weren't speaking to each other, so I got bored pretty quickly. Arrived in Basingstoke around 10 I think, but I was so knackered I could hardly open my eyes. Next day was thursday, so Dave and I trundled off to brummiegum, ready for the Less Than Jake gig (which you can read about on Dave's site so I don't have to bother writing about it). Next day was friday, and Dave and I did nothing all day except sleep (first lie-in for me in almost 2 weeks!) Saturday Dave was at work so I did his washing for him and made him some food for when he came home. Sunday saw my parental and siblingly unit, since it was the sibling's birthday. Bought him some clothes that he asked for - just to find out that his sense of style has changed and nowadays he's wearing bright yellow and stuff with huge chavvy logos on it. Sound a bit gay to you? Yeah, me too.
Monday I went back to good ol' Tamworth for lunchies in Spoons with Lolly. It were great, especially cos she gave me allll the gossip I've been missing out on, some of it highly shocking and so on. Did the usual, drinking doubles, spilling our guts, putting the world to rights (we're so good at it, we should rule the world, honestly!) Tuesday did nothing again. Considered doing some of my coursework, thought better of it. Wednesday I was off to Tamworth again, to go shopping with my mother in Nuneaton - henceforth to be known as Emo central - and bought myself some lovely things. Stayed at mummy's weds night, thursday printed off some half-arsed information for my project, until Dave came at 5 and we had fish n chips. Friday nothing. Saturday I went on a hunt for all Dave's cutlery and shit in the kitchen, as other people have nicked some of his stuff, fixed the handle on one of the kitchen cupboards, and then used that cupboard to create more room for Dave's (and my) stuff. Whilst doing this, I also did loads of washing up, put two loads of washing on, and cooked a spectacular meal (well, it was sausage n bean casserole - but Dave asked me to make it again the other day so it must have been good!) Am I wonderwoman or what? If anyone else's girlfriend is as good as me I want to know! I'm sure I do more than I should do without being married!!
Sunday, feck all. Monday, errmmm... Tuesday, decided that as I was having a meeting with my project superviser on wednesday, I really should do some work to actually show her. Bear in mind, I've had 6 months to do something, and up until this point had done precisely zero. I wrote out the skeleton of my methodology, and invented a questionnaire I was supposed to give my kids. Wednesday, bricked it about the meeting somewhat, since I had all of 3 pages to show. Got to the meeting, all's well n good, lasted about half hour. Then Dave n I went round town handing out a couple of my cvs. Out of the 15 I printed off, I now have 13 left. Nobody is taking on staff at the moment, apart from Lego shop and Debenhams, both of which are fine to me! I have to send one to waterstones to beg for a job, said the snooty woman behind the desk, so I might well do that too. Then we went to Asda so I could buy the kids some english sweeties, and so Dave could go round all the old easter eggs that are now being sold off for 20p (picked up a few bargains, I tell thee). Thursday, started reading "Memoirs of a Geisha", friday, carried on reading, today, finished Geisha this morning, put some washing on, avoided Dave's housemates, who seem to be pissed off I nicked a cupboard, even though it was only used for junk, tried to play sims but it kept dying on me, which brings me up to right this second. No idea what I'm going to do this afternoon; perhaps pack my bag for the trip back to france, make some plans n stuff.
Or, I could try and play sims again. Hmm, guess which one I'm leaning towards.
