I live in Manchester, I do a degree at university and I breathe. Daily. Nice to meet you. I have made a huge list of places I want to go and things I want to do or achieve by the end of my degree. I am determined to complete it. This is my story. |
Evening all.
Turns out I didn’t move today. Estate agents don’t allow collecting keys on a Sunday apparently, even though the lady before said to ‘collect them whenever’. Hmph. Long story short, if they allow me to collect keys after closing hours I can move in tomorrow night (woo!), and if they don’t I’ll have to wait until Friday. Got a bit upset earlier on when I found out we couldn’t go today. It was my nephew’s birthday party today and I was generally just in a can’t-stand-one-more-day-in-this-house mood. In hindsight I have no idea why, it was so stupid. I was close to tears for the stupidest reason, which wasn’t even a problem. Maybe I just needed to cry.. I haven’t in ages. Does anyone else feel like that do you think?
I’ve been really bad with my eating lately. Ate an entire tub of Haagen Dazs the other day, and I also had a three-scoop and full-fat milk milkshake at the cinema (Baskin Robbins, mmmm) and maltesers, then cake, shortbread, and post-dinner snacking today :( not good! However, it’s okay. It’s just being at home. We can’t see the other six people that my mother buys food shopping for, despite the fact that they never come to the table when we call and never seem to be hungry. Strange. So we end up having to eat it all, whereas when living on my own I tend to be a bit more controlled. I’ll go back to the routine when I go back to Manchester. Honest. My heart keeps beating kind of irregularly lately too, which might be to do with the sudden change in diet over the past couple of days having been so good lately? It sometimes just feels like it’s taking a lot of effort to beat, like when you do press ups and one of them takes a lot more effort than the previous ones. I dunno why it does it, to be honest I’ve had it most of my life but no doctor has ever noticed anything irregular.. I should probably get it checked out but I don’t know. I’m too scared really..
Record-breaking Wimbledon men’s finals today. It was such an intense game, lasting over four hours, and me and my mom sat through it all. So badly wanted Roddick to win (come on, Federer wearing pristine white tennis kit with his initials and custom-made Nike accessories? Fuck right off.) but he didn’t get the trophy. However, I’m a strong believe that the best player isn’t always the winner. Federer never broke Roddick’s serve, not once in five sets. Roddick broke Roger’s twice. Also, Roddick won his sets 7-5 and 7-3, whereas both of Federer’s wins were due to tie-breaks, resulting in his winning sets being 7-6 and 7-6. Plainly Roddick’s wins were more substantial. Maybe I’m just bitter, but I thought Roddick played better. But yeah, the final set was the longest set in Wimbledon history apparently, finally ending 16-14 games. (I think the previous longest was 15-13.) Also Federer has now broken the world record for the most grand slam trophies. Good on him.
Speaking of sports, I’m going to try and get back into Squash when I go back. Next Step courses are starting this month I think so I’m definitely up for that, then maybe tennis or basketball. Who knows! Definitely going to try and get more active next year though.
I’ve come to realise my blog entries are a lot of the time just becoming [pretty mundane] descriptions of my daily life. I really, really, don’t want my blog to become that. But I don’t know how to remedy it? I do note things down during the day to write about, but it’s literally a bullet pointed list on my Stickies widget on Patrick’s dashboard. Perhaps if I made more detailed ‘notes’ that would help? It makes me want to revitalise my membership on this site that I found a few years ago. I remember I heard of it when it was still Beta, when I was 15 and barely had anything To-Do, and now it’s released and has it’s own iPhone app! So grown up. Oooh brilliant. Just found you can make Apple’s Stickies floating and transparent, awesome :)
Recorded a cover of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun last night at 3am. Don’t really know if I like it or not, as it came out a bit odd. Sounds okay though once it gets going? See for yourself.
Anyways I’ll be off now.
