The end of my 2nd year!

by kelki @ 18/05/2007 - 17:20:44

I can't believe it's over!! Only 1 year to go!!!

The presentation was quite stressful. The tutors marking us were really strict and asked loads of horrible questions. One of them in particular was a real arse. He didn't know what we had done in the previous presentations as we had different people marking us then. This meant he was penalising us for stuff that he didn't know we had already covered and we didn't include this time for fear of repetition. What a cock. I made sure I told him all the amazing work we had done for the other presentations that he wasn't at. I'm pretty confident we passed.

So that's it. The end of this year.

Went out last night with housemates. Did the rounds in Headingley then onto Bar Risa in town. It was ok but really hot and rammed and there wasn't a cloakroom so I had to lug around my giant bag all night. I mean, what the hell kind of club doesn't have a cloakroom!! Where am i supposed to put all my make-up, coat, cigs, wallet, keys, chewing gum, lighter, phone etc. I'm not one of these girls who goes out unprepared! Also my heels killed the balls of my feet so had to take them off and dance barefoot. I really don't know how other girls do it. The pain is so SO awful.

Got the train back to Notts today. 4 months with the Boyf! Lets hope he doesn't get sick of me and turf me out. haha. I'm sure it'll be a fun summer. Roll on sunshine!!


 
 

Presentation doom

by kelki @ 16/05/2007 - 23:16:00

Feeling really pissed off at the boys in my uni group. I'm sat here slaving away to make sure out presentation slides are perfect and what are they doing? Fuck all that's what! I rang one of them as he STILL hadn't sent me his references and it was as if i was interupting him "oh yeah, well i'm out at the moment so i'll send them to you later". What a cock. Am i supposed to wait up all night? He did finally mail them me and i had to put them into Harvard form as he is too thick to do it properly.
Presentation is at 4.30pm tomorrow then i'm done with my 2nd year at uni! Crazy!

On a happier note, today me and housemate V (HMV), went shopping for a nu-rave costume to go on a pub crawl in. It was sooo much fun shopping for that! I came home with:  A hot pink skirt, a white vest with a giant slogan on it, lumo orange leg warmers, a pink handbag, glow in the dark whistle and pink/yellow bangles. We looked amazing when we got home and tried it all on. Normal clothes just aren't the same. I think the Boyf would have a shit-fit if he saw me in that get-up. It is fancy dress though! I mean, I do like The Klaxons but we are magnifying the dress sense so it's funny. All other housemates have their gear already. The pub crawl is in 2 weeks - i can't wait! Don't know what to wear on my feet though. We are starting at 4pm and i can't wear heels all that time. Might not get into the club at the end of the night with trainers on though. Hmm, will have to think about it.

Anyways, i'm going to bed now so i'm fresh for tomorrow - wish me luck!

slow start today

by kelki @ 15/05/2007 - 14:03:29

After a crap night's sleep, i didn't wake up until 12 today. Grr. I hate it when that happens. What a waste of a morning. I had absolutely nothing to eat for breakfast and needed to wash my hair before i could venture to the shops. After getting ready and looking at the pics of the Justin gig last night (HOT!), it was after 2pm before i got to the shop. So it was 2.45pm before i finally had some food! Terrible. I know it's all going to be stored as fat now because my body thinks i'm starving blah blah. Only had a sandwich and crisps though, how much fat is that?
Not too worried about the fat issue anymore as the Boyf bought some scales the other day and according to them i only have 16% body fat! HA! As if. I swear to god i'm a fat skinny girl. My frame is quite skinny but i have no muscle and am convinced most of me is made of fat. When i got on the scales i just KNEW it was going to be over 30% fat. What a pleasant surprise! Also apparently over 4 stone of me is bone. Crazy! The first time i weighed myself it said 8st 4 (!!!!), then in the evening 8st 9. How did i gain 5 pounds in a day? They give me a different reading eveytime and so i'm not convinced they are accurate. My mum never let us have scales in out house as with 3 girls she was worried one of us would become obsessed with weight!

Right, weight ramble over. I'm going to eat a Twix now. I've got room to grow :)

Gutted for me

by kelki @ 14/05/2007 - 20:40:06

As I was queueing at the chippy waiting to order my fish supper for one, Housemate EB texts saying they have somehow upgraded their tickets and are now sat at the front. Front seat Justin!!! Dammit!!!
So i trudge home all alone to eat my dinner and then finish cleaning the bathroom. Wow! Just waiting now for one of them to ring me when Justin does my fav' track at the moment. I wish I was there! Why didn't I borrow the money for a ticket. What a nob.
OK update - they just rang me and it sounded amazing!! At least i got to sing along and dance like a goon in my room. "what goes around comes back around - i thought i told ya heyyyyyyyyyyyy............." *sigh*
Better get my washing out the machine now....

Lonely Student

by kelki @ 14/05/2007 - 17:32:37

I'm all alone tonight in my student house as housemates have gone to watch Justin Timberlake in Manchester. I was invited but at the time I had no money for the ticket and i have seen him once already so decided to give it a miss.
Not sure what i'm going to do tonight. Might go and get fish & chips because I have sweet f.a to eat and can't be arsed with shopping. Probably sit in bed playing Harvest Moon after i've watched some trashy TV cos we have cable here unlike at the flat. Will do a bit of uni work at some point but me being good for once, i've practically done it all.
Right i'm off to take advantage of the washing machine being empty for once (5 girls = a LOT of washing).
Bye bye for now! xx

I'm glad i didn't bother

by kelki @ 10/05/2007 - 15:20:13

Turns out 1 of the guys never showed up and the other didn't hand in any work today and left after half an hour. There was totally no point going to uni today, i'm so glad i skanked! My work is all done but i've told PM i'll do useless boy KO's work too. I'm just so studious.
 Will go in on monday to finish the slides off and have a practice run, hopefully the whole group will be there then. Thank god our presentation isn't until 4.30 next thurs so will have all day to sort out any last minute bits.
One major bummer in not returning to Leeds is the fact i only have 2 days of contraceptive pills left here, the rest are at my uni house. Don't know where i'm going to rustle up a supply for the weekend from. Maybe my sister will lend me a pack of hers seeing as she's on the same one (probably not cos she's notoriously tight with anything belonging to her). Either that or i'll have to go sit in the clinic for 2 hours tomorrow and wait to get some more. I used to go to the docs to get them but I really don't like my doctor so switched to the clinic instead. The staff are really nice there. Bit of a beast really. Not taking them isn't an option obviously as i'm in no way ready to have babies seeing as i don't even know how to hold one and freak out when they cry or dribble on me!!  My baby phobia is a whole other story though so i'm going to leave it there and play Harvest Moon til the Boyf gets home.

To skank or not to skank*.....

by kelki @ 10/05/2007 - 10:36:19

*skanking where i'm from means missing school/work/uni

That is indeed the question.....
Here's how it is. I've done all of my work for the group presentation. So have the other 2 girls in the group. The boys, i'm not confident they've done much but to be honest after their performance in the past 2 presentations, we only gave them minimal work to be responsible for!!
Proj manager wants me to go into uni today to meet for what i don't really know. I know when i get there the boys will arse around and PM will get stressed. VP went out last night so she will need many breaks for cigs & coffee and probably give up and go home after an hour.
Basically i've fucked up because if i had gone back to uni yesterday i wouldn't have this problem. Today i can't be arsed with the journey of doom for a couple of hours (max) of irritating squabbling with the boys when for the most part the work is done. I don't have any scheduled lecture time now for the rest of the year so not missing anything i shouldn't be. *sigh*

Well it's too late to get the train now and make the meeting. God i'm so bad but i just hate this project. I'VE DONE MY BLOODY BITS AND MORE!!!

I want to stay here with the Boyf. My housemates aren't doing anything fun, they are all revising for exams. If i stay here i have to think of a white lie to tell PM or she will have a shit fit. Oh the guilt.

Crazy for sandwiches

by kelki @ 09/05/2007 - 12:14:26

I lurrrrrrve sarnies! There is this sandwich shop just over the road from the flat in Notts. It's well tasty. I feel guilty about spending my cash on stuff from there instead of going to buy bread and fillings and making my own. I don't want to buy a jar of mayo though because then i would use it on everything and get fat. So therefore i am justified in spending £2.80 on a sarnie with chicken and mayo etc. Yum yum. I'm going to go in a minute and buy one. *slurps*

Haven't done any uni work yet. It's so boring. Going to have to force myself aren't i?

Must stop ipodding and watching daytime TV.

Short but sweet

by kelki @ 09/05/2007 - 10:52:40

The Klaxons were pretty cool last night. They only played for about 45 mins though, which i think is the shortest time i've ever seen a headlining band play for. There were loads of kids there, by kids i mean 12-17 year olds i guess. Most people looked really, really young. This made me feel a bit old, i'm only 25!! We stood on the steps at the back to get a good view over people's heads. The rave on the dancefloor looked pretty fun but i just didn't fancy getting soaked in beer and getting battered by hyper kiddies.

Talking of feeling old but not actually being old, brings my mind around to the question - when will i start looking my age? I swear i think i look 25 but when i first meet people they all put me down to being 18-20. Everyone says "NO WAY!!!" when i say i'm 25. On my birthday my Boyf's family thought i was turning 20! They looked incredulous when they discovered i'm actually a year older than he is. I don't know whether it's my clothing style. It certainly isn't my face, i swear i've got wrinkles already. When i'm 30 will people still think i'm 20? That would be awesome. Or am i going to age dramatically between now and then? EEK! I need to get my ass down to Boots and buy that miracle wrinkle serum. It's sold out again though dammit. I guess i should be happy that people think i look 5 years younger than i really am. It just annoys me because i get embarrassed when people ask me my age and when i tell them they shout NO WAY!!!! Eg. hairdressers, fellow students, bouncers etc. *sigh* I feel like people aren't taking me seriously because they think i'm a kid. This is especially annoying when i'm working at the library and customers call me "that girl", then specifically direct their questions to the older members of staff, who then in turn have to ask me because i've worked there longer - ha!
Right, ramble over, i'm going to do some uni work.

Waap Waap Waap!!

by kelki @ 08/05/2007 - 10:26:44

Thats my impression of rave-like sounds. I'm going to see The Klaxons tonight - waap waap waap! Going with my best buddy so should be well fun. Going to stroll into town for some lumo accessories to wear to the gig. yay!

An update on the emotional saga that had become my relationship with the Boyf:
This weekend it is like the fog has lifted and everything has been brilliant! He's been fun, interesting and lovey-dovey just like normal. PHEW! We even went to the pub on sunday night - spontaneously! His best mate texted us at 9pm and whoosh - he was ready in a flash. He even drank a few beers and smoked. WOW. He's still working out like a nutter but that's totally fine with me, i just can't handle serious, boring, no-fun Boyf. Thank god things are back to normal.
Saturday we went rock climbing in the peak district. It was so nice to go do something different together. I think that definitely helped us get back to the good times. Well, the Boyf was climbing, I was sunbathing on various rocks and staring at his ass as he scaled the cliff face. Nice .

I'd better get my ass into gear now as i need to do some uni work, wash my hair, tidy up my stuff all over the bedroom and walk into town to shop.
xx
waap waap waap.

What a mix-up

by kelki @ 04/05/2007 - 10:31:06

As i mentioned in an earlier entry, i thought maybe the Boyf was getting a bit tired of me. I went back to uni on weds thinking that absence makes the heart grow fonder etc. Went out really early with housemate EB. WE did half of the Otley Run which is a giant bar crawl from where we live into the city centre. Was well fun but heels are not good for that amount of trekking. Anyway, back to my point.... I had texted the Boyf a couple times throughout the day but knew his phone was off as i never got a delivery report. When the texts finally went through i replied to say i was out and would ring him later. After a couple of depressing texts back where he made me feel bad for being out i gave him a call. I asked him what was wrong and why has he been so off for the last 2 weeks. Then it all comes out how he feels second best to my "Leeds life" and he feels like when i'm in Notts i can't wait to go back to Leeds. Apparently i never call him anymore (how can i when his phone is off). This is of course all bollocks which i told him so. After rambling on for a while more we finally got it sorted sort of. I came back yesterday after only being in Leeds for one night to make him feel wanted again! What a turn of events. All the time i thought he was going off me, he was thinking the same. I'm not happy that he's moaning at me for going out. I tried to explain that uni is not just about studying but also about making friends and having fun but he is just jealous. So i think my course of action is to be super nice and attentive to the Boyf whilst i'm here but of course i'm not going to neglect my housemates and social life in Leeds. He will just have to realise that me going out having fun doesn't mean i don't love him!

What a stress, i just hope he chills out now we've talked about it and i just want my fun Boyf to re-surface. *sigh*

The Used

by kelki @ 02/05/2007 - 10:31:37

So I went to see The Used last night with the Boyf and friends. IT WAS AWESOME!! The new songs sounded amazing and they played some old favourites. It was all over too quick really.
I was relieved to do something fun with the Boyf. He even smoked!! Shocker! We were late leaving for the gig as he was working out though....
I'm going back to uni today, was supposed to get an earlyish train but overslept. I'm supposed to be starting drinking at 4pm!! Eek! I think i'll join everyone halfway at 7 or something. My makeup all melts off if i start too early! I feel a bit guilty about going out in Leeds a lot. It's because the Boyf doesn't approve of me going to all these "trendy" bars. I can't go to rock clubs if nooone likes rock music though can i??!! I don't mind some pop and dance anyway. Right i'd better get a move on and get dressed and packed. I hope the train journey goes smoothly, no late trains for me today please!

Bye for now! xx
