Here’s a summary of this last month:

Went to Washington DC and it snowed. A lot of things were closed, was a bit crazy. Loved the weather though and spent some time with amazinggg people, bought Juicy Couture and (lots of) Abercrombie & Fitch, and realised I am still far too poor for any more Betsey Johnson

Went to Sheffield University, pretty epiccc. Pretty much set on going there. It’s so indie it’s perfect. Too many bars, too many cheap drinks, epic accommodation, a PolSoc that goes to Amsterdam (messyyyy!) and a damn good department. They changed my offer too, so I really wanna firm it (but can’t…yet).

Also went up to York University. It was interesting, met a guy who lives literally like twenty minute drive away and was on my train and we had lunch. Met a posh boy who I got the vibe he felt I was unworthy talking to him, because I didn’t own half of Oxford. The university had a nice feel to it but on the whole, too dull. It’s not somewhere I could spent a fulfilling three years and the department isn’t particularly strong either.

Um, last few weeks I’ve kissed someone old and kissed someone new. I’m also not single anymore. Rejoice! Lets hope he works out and that he gets an offer from King’s College London to do Law, which he doesn’t even want to do anymore, but he still spends far too much time checking Ucas to the point I have to drag him away from WiFi areas :’)

Playlist is a-coming. And January exam results come on the 11th March, expect me to pretty much break down due to my Economics score (and probably all the others too, eep)

I think The Donnas picked a perfect time to released their Greatest Hits 16. Listening to some of their classic songs made me remember what it was like to be a fourteen-year-old boyhunter, experimenting with alcohol and giving the middle finger to anyone who thought they were better than me. In retrospect, not that much has changed.

College is finally out, and I’m back working the nine to five. I could never complain about my job (it’s ace), but I do complain about the price/duration/tardiness of the commute via public transport. Oh, and the fact I’ve been living off 65 pence pasties from Sainsbury’s to curb my recent overspending…

In terms of general life, it’s still full of…drama! Trouble is whenever there’s an absence of drama, I chase it. Everyone who knows me, knows I have to have a little bit of drama otherwise the world falls apart. Y’know, volcanoes erupt, tsunamis occur - that kinda thing. But every time I find it, drama comes from somewhere else and I end up taking on far more than I can handle and tying myself in knots.

Well…whatever. I spent some time re-evaluating the person I am versus the person I want to be. I threw myself into situations I really didn’t want to be in, got caught up, and got burnt. Well, first time round it made me upset for about a week. And then I got back out and did all over again. And now that’s ended badly too. It’s kind of weird, just because I was going head first into summer with a million possibilities and actually dating guys again, and now I’m just wondering when I let myself get so caught up. So I think I’m gonna settle down and have a quite summer: focus on work, studying, learning to drive and surrounding myself with good friends.

And the two lines to live by are “Girl you better go get your armour” (Battlefield, Jordin Sparks) and “This time baby, I’ll be bulletproof” (Bulletproof, La Roux).
