Domestic bliss

Just got back after a night at the boyf's. He's been working non-stop recently, so we took advantage of him finishing at 7pm yesterday and not starting til 10am today to go out. Went to see The Hangover, which is awesome! The whole audience were wetting themselves laughing - it was more surreal than purile, thankfully! I wasn't really in the mood for toilet jokes, but finding Mike Tyson's tiger in the bathroom? Definitely :D

Another day of doing nothing, I think... Domestic stuff, plus a quick trawl of houses for sale in uni-town, since I'm still homeless there, and a lengthy trawl of cars for sale in home-town. Not that I need a car until I get a job, but there's no harm being prepared!

The boyf has finally asked me to cough up some cash towards bills to ingratiate the housemates. Not that they've started complaining yet, but given the unreserved hatred of the last girlfriend to assume residency, I'm more than happy to throw some cash in their direction! It's fair enough, I do live there about 3/7 of the time, and I'm not paying rent anywhere else yet.
I'm moving in for a week in about 10 days, while the housies are on holiday - I'm being turned into a domestic goddess while R is out at work! He's expecting dinner on the table when he gets in and everything! So long as he doesn't expect me to clean out the rat trap, I don't mind...

Hometime is just being spent getting creative! I've turned a scrap of knitting into a funky wrist cuff, complete with gothic studs, and made some buttoned patches to turn into new cushion covers for when we finally get a sofa in the new uni house. The next step is to finally get those penny earrings done, but the cat disapproves quite strongly of me using the drill...

Exam Countdown: 3 days.

The boyf has gone on a girly shopping trip with some mates to London today, so to avert my green eyes, I did a 7 hour library haul. Hopefully cracked enough info into my thick skull to pass Monday's exam, just got half of the anatomy curriculum to cover and I'm done.

One of my mates has got into Urban Exploring, in the local hospitals/asylums - we seem to have quite a few! Not sure what that says about the locals....
Anyway, the photos are beautiful! Really would love to get into it, but a criminal record for trespassing doesn't look so great on a surgical CV!

Home in 2 weeks! Can't believe that first year is over so quickly. No more halls. No more anatomy class. No more having 35 other people in the house to talk to when I can't be arsed to revise! I'm definitely gonna miss having all my friends within 100 yards... Just found another possible flat, with a roof garden! Fingers crossed our investor (slash flatmate's Dad :p ) likes the look of it too....

Dumb, Dumber, and Jelly.

All I learnt today is that Lucozade doesn't make good flower water. You'd think that would be obvious from the photosynthesis equation, but I tried anyway.

And, 5 hours after I switched on the computer, plus 2 powercuts which hall staff were less than hasty in dealing with, all I have done is read like 2 years of Michelle Au's blog (I love her cartoons) and try to figure out how to make two pennies into a pair of earrings.

Productive, no. I promise after I make another batch of food for the freezer (since Morrison's stopped making the two veggie ready meals that were providing 90% of my week's sustenance, I'm forcing myself to make curry,and chilli, and pasta bake, to freeze in perfect one person portions), I will go to the library.

Ooh, and put away those freshly laundered tshirts. And alphabetise my DVDs. Maybe watch the end of The Prince And Me (don't judge me - it was a birthday gift, and I happen to like Julia Stiles).

Bleh, procrastination. You may be more fun than Haematology today, but you will bite me on the (sizeable) ass in 11 days when exams start AND I REALISE I KNOW NOTHING.

Btw... the earring thing. Seems you need a drill with a fine bit. And even then I can only find instructions if you hammer the penny flat first, which would ruin the print. Or whatever a coin design is called. Minting? Funky shield thing? Meh.
