Man I had a wicked good day today. Went into uni, met Kirsty for the first time in fucking ages, she's lost a lot of weight and looks awesome. Found my new timetable for 2nd semester and decided that since I had to work this week and my class times had obviously changed I would just start classes next week.
Kirsty was coming back to resit a couple of modules from last year but we talked it over and about her chances of getting into to do honours, and cause she had got C's for everything she passed, she would have to get A's on the class she was resitting to pull her grade up enough so she decided to resit the whole semester. Yaaaassss. We'll be in the same class for the first time since first year in college which I'm happy about. Then she had a meeting with the Financial Services woman who said that because she was enrolling so late in the year she would have to be put in as a full time student which means she can get a loan!!! Last enstallment will be used for a holiday dammit!!!
Then we went for a spin in her super cute new wee car and got a text from Chris to meet him in the union so we went back up to uni and had a few drinks, Kirsty obviously sticking to Coke, and we met Amy!! Havent seen her since we left the Halls I think so that was cool seeing her again. Then Kirsty drove us back into Glasgow which was hysterical - she hadnt driven in the city centre since passing her test and was all like "am I in the right lane?" "omg where am I going guys?!" But she got us there in one piece. Chris was meeting his friends to go see Idlewild (so jealous) so we went to Yates's to wait for them - queue more drinking. Then around 9 we went our seperate ways and while I was waiting for the bus Disco calls and asks if I fancy a drink. See where this is going yet?
So I met him in Rufus (ahh, good times) and proceeded to get a little more drunk till they threw us out and we were like, "Garage? Yeah, Garage" where we got well pissed. Turns out the Attic isnt open on Tuesday nights, how gay, but it was cool. And there was karaoke downstairs which was a laugh.
So now I feel pretty much like dying and my right calf keeps cramping up and I dunno if I have enough energy to stay awake in work tonight but dammit I had fun. Current Location: Home

Well I've come to a decision - I'm going to buy myself a puppy. I've no idea how or where I'm going to get one from but I'm sure I'll find out somehow. I mean, people buy dogs all the time right? So they must be getting them from somewhere. Basically, sad as it may sound given I'm 22, but this is my form of rebelling against the parents, especially my mum and her " you have to be at home all day with a new puppy" bullshit. I mean, if that were true then how the hell do people who arent unemloyed or retired manage to have dogs? Exactly, she's full of shit. Plus, hello, Freddy anyone? As far as my mum was concerned Jennifer was never ever having a lizard in the house and that was the end of it. Then she comes home one day and announces that Kirsty had bought her one for her birthday and there was nothing she could do about it. And that was with a flaming bearded dragon for god sake, and my mum LOVES puppies and dogs full stopm so if she can fall in love with a lizard almost instantly then it should take her about 4 seconds to be completly attached to my dog. Maybe I'll just tell her Mandy bought me a puppy as a late Christmas present. And besides, me and Jennifer were NEVER allowed pets when we were kids (goldfish dont count) which I think is really unfair considering there was always dogs in my gran's house when my mum was growing up. Hell she even brought home an abandoned kitten one day when she was a teenager but she doesnt want me tp purchase a healthy puppy from a legitimate breed with my own money. What the hell is that all about? Well, whatever, I'm getting me a puppy and thats the end of it. All I have to do now is actually decide on a breed which is proving surprisingly difficult. Well, that's a lie, I would love a beagle but no one seems to actually have any of them for sale. Labradoodles are really cute as well, and basset hounds and King Charles cocker spaniels and fucking gorgeous. But it seems like all the breeders are going for staffi terriers at the moment which, aside from being completely illegal dogs, are really ugly and so not the dog for me. My dog has to be medium sized, just big enough to wrestle with but small enough to be able to pick up. But definitely no stupid wee dogs that yap and bite at your ankles, so about knee height would be perfect. Oh, and completely gorgeous as well. Anyway, I was telling Mandy about it on the phone last night and bless, she's so excited and wants to come with me when I pick a puppy or pick it up from a breeder. So now I've got her and Jennifer who know incase I decide to chicken out as the time comes nearer. So, hopefully I'll get my travel expenses fairly quickly in time for my weeks holiday from work on March 4th so I can use the whole week to get my widdle puppy used to her new home. Yeah, Ive decided I want a girl dog so I'll need to get her spayed pretty quickly which sucks, but I figure she'll be a little less boisterous than a boy dog. Plus I'l get to call her something cute like Princess or Lady or Duchess and dress her in cute little outfits and omg, Accessorize have so much stuff for dogs, like jewel encrusted collars and leashes and at Christmas she could have a little fairy outfit and just be terribly cute. Oh, and in the summer when its warm enough for Freddy, me and Jennifer could go out for walks together with them. Aww that would just be the cutest thing ever! I'm so excited now. Really, really excited. Okay, so in other non-puppy related news, I have my American Broadcasting exam on Friday afternoon which I m definitely going to fail. Especially when you consider I only actually attended 3 lectures for that class and never took any notes or paid any attention of any kind. Ah well. Basically this whole semester has gone to shit cause I havent done any of the essays so far and dont even talk to me about Independent Production, fucking hell, is that the worst mistake I ever made. Well, no doubt I'll get through it all somehow. Hopefully Current Mood:  devious

Well, my medicine's actually called Phenoxymethylpenicillin, but I reckon just plain penicillin is much easier on the eye.
So yeah, I went to see Dr Cunning yesterday and I officially have tonsilitis. Damnation. But I also get a WHOLE WEEK off work, in addition to the almost whole week that I've already had off, how amazing. Weirdest thing though, I was absolutely dying all week, in pain and what not, and my throat was pure, unadulterated agony and what happens when I finally get to see a doctor? It immediately starts going away. So not only do I have a week off work, but I'll probably feel a million times better by Friday which means I could maybe go out at the weekend, we shall see. But the pain in my tonsils has almost completely gone and now I'm sitting here eating PRINGLES for god sake. A couple of days ago I could barely dribble down yoghurt and now Im eating crisps.

Guess who has dosh??? Why yes that would be me. So my loan cleared today *cue chorus of angels on high* and so knowing that I had to right loads of shit for Globalization tomorrow, what did I do? Well I darn well spent the ENTIRE day shopping, oh yes I did. So, I got a cute white tshirt from New Look with little black skulls and black trim, a teal zipper thang from MK 1, FIVE, count em, 1 2 3 4 5 dvds from HMV - technically I only bought 4 (Hostel, Sin City and The Descent in a 3 for £20 thing and The Eye for a tenner) and if you spend £20 or more you can get Bad Santa for £4.99 but I managed to distract the guy who was serving me with my womanly charms and excellent movie choices so much that he forgot to scan Bad Santa so I got it for free. Go me!!. Then headed to Waterstone's where I got Jane Eyre, Friends Lovers and Chocolate, and Starter for 10 in a 3 for 2 offer (omg the savings) and then bought new Apple earphones for the iPod. And I was in such a generous mood that I bought Jennifer a new pair of shoes - well actually she forgot to take her work shoes with her (accidentally on purpose me thinks) and I knew she would get into shit if she wore her trainers so it was cool. Then I returned home where I piss about on the internet now and still have no inclination of doing any homework. I suck at being a student. But at least I have cash!!! Current Location: Home

OMG IM ENROLLED AT UNI MOTHERFUCKER!!! Only took me 2 goddamn months, but thank FUCK my wait is over. So I got my student card (with a fucking terrible picture - quite disappointed at that since last years was alright actually) and MY LOAN GOT SCANNED!!! Now that am I super excited about. So in a couple of days I'll be £1104 richer - woopah. Hopefully Tuesday cause Im off work and uni and I can go shop my socks off. Oooo so much to buy, I think I might get my hair cut as well cause its really pissing me off being all long and what not. Hmm, maybe like Jennifer Aniston when she had it all chopped only in a side parting. Yea, that might be nice. And I can straighten it again without it curling the second I step out of the house. And some nice books, god I havent bought a book in AGES. I need new reading material. And I might buy That 70's Show DVDs, all of em, cause their only £10 each in Fopp. Joy, joy, joy. Although I do have to pay back £200 to my mum and then start paying back the money my dad gave me for my outstanding rent, so I wont actually be £1104 richer, but still, its gonna be more money than I have at the moment. Jesus, I'm sitting in the CLT at uni and they've OPENED THE FUCKING WINDOWS. Its like, -5 degrees outside and I would actually be freezing my gonads off if I had any. So I basically only came in today to get my shit sorted out to get my loan and that, even though I had American Broadcasting today so I didnt go. I'm actually terrible with that class, I think I've been like, 3 times or something out of 9 lectures. I suck. Anyway, I'm gonna log off now cause its freezing in here and Im am STARVING like you wouldnt believe since I have no goddamn money Current Location: Uni

So, shit is seriously spiralling out of contol right now. Well, I guess not everything, I mean my dad payed my outstanding rent from last year which means I can get registered at uni for this year and I'm on Blackboard and once Gordon Gibson puts all my modules on the database (which should take all of 5 seconds) I can get my loan. And - pause of dramatic effect - I have a job in Morrisons which will come in handy when the loan runs out, so I guess I've actually managed to fix a lot of the shit that I've been bitching about lately. Only loads of new shit has replaced it and again I dont know how to fix it. So firstly there's the overwhelming amount of work I have to hand in this week for uni. I have to academically attack either triumphalists, reformers or dystopians and reply to comments from other students on Blackboard by midnight tonight, which I think I can probably do, it's just a case of getting the notes out and having a look at what other people have written then disagreeing with it. Then for Thursday I have to go through all the planning that takes place around a fictional movie being planned, point out all the legal point and how they can be resolved in no less than 1000 words but no more than 1500 words AND for the same day write a 2500 word essay on the stereotypical Italian American family life portrayed in The Sopranos for American Broadcasting. Ugh. And that's just for this week. I've also still got all the Independent Production shit to be getting on with and I have NO IDEA what the fuck I'm doing. Basically we have to come up with A, B and C plots for episode 2 of Dead Like Me (but it cant be the real episode 2, it has to be made up); write a Series Bible which is about 40 pages outlining the rules of the world the series is set in, what characters are like, etc; come up with a treatment for the rest of the series detailing where the characters will go from the beginning, how the continuous plotlines will develop etc; write a 30 opening credits sequence complete with story board, recommended music and action shots AND, as if that's not enough, a full, Production quality script for episode 2 which fits to the standard 40 minute American broadcast with suitable cliffhangers for the ad breaks. CHRIST
Andy d'you know what the funniest part about this is? I'VE NEVER SEEN DEAD LIKE ME
That's not quite true, I've seen episode 1, but that's the limit to my Dead Like Me experience.
I am so screwed.
But, now hey lets talk about the other piece of shit going on. One, Miss Mandy Cooper is being a total pain in the derrier cause I missed her graduation, through no fault of my own thank you very much. So now when she's not giving me the silent treatment, she's calling me a liar on Bebo (what a shite site, thank god everyone else uses MySpace) and that I should "just stop lying for once in my life". Eh, making no sense there you moron. What the hell have I lied to you about? Then she makes out that she's been sending me emails which she clearly hasnt been since I would have bloody replied to them. She's been such a goddam pampered princess for so long that she's used to getting her absolute own way all the time and to hell with everyone else. Its exactly like what happened last year with Julia and she's again taking it out on me. Its so annoying cause when we're not like this (which really is most of the time) we're totally best friends, even though we have so little in common, but whenever someone riles her up the wrong way her first reaction is CONFRONTATION to the max which is so bloody annoying. She doesnt seem to be able to settle things without losing her head and pissing everybody off.
So, I'm really pissed off with Mandy, and I'm furious with myself for letting my work pile up till literally the last minute before I think about it. God, I am the worst student ever.
