And I think you should all go read the Feminist Blog Yes, that blogger of the day on 31 May is me :)

My sister just called.
She got a 2:1.
This is such a relief. She was getting really paranoid she was going to get a 2:2 and she's worked her guts out for the past four years for this. I am *so* proud of her.
But I may never have mentioned this before, so she was doing a degree in modern languages at liverpool uni, and twice has been in hospital for various nasty things (recurrent tonsilitis and an abcess on her back) and yet she never missed an assignment. She was late with one once when she was actually in hospital and that's it.
I'm proud of her.

There's a new livejournal entry. Can you tell I've run out of work? But the girl I work with is back on Monday so it'll all be OK.
And this is freaky.

I get really hurt when people don't tell me they've moved, or gone, or don't answer emails asking if they're OK. Seriously people... if you don't like me, then please don't ever pretend you do.

New livejournal entry as well. God I'm good.

There's a new journal entry up. It's short, but I like it.

... and I meant to say. I think this is a shame. I always thought the point of uni was to grow up, to learn how to deal with money, learn to prioritise, to prepare for the outside world but still have the chance to go home and be looked after. Taking away these chances just means that the transition to the outside world is that much harder.

So I'm sorry I've not been round for a while. After promising a journal entry too. But I've been busy doing that funky having-a-life thang and enjoying myself.
...well not really having a life. I went out for lunch and tea on Sunday, lunch with my family and tea with Justine. Then I went out to the pub with my sister and some of her friends in the evening. Monday was my mum's birthday and we had a late start - my parents never normally get to lie in, so it was nice. Mum liked her pressie, which was a bottle of Clinique Happy from the three of us. My dad did some work on my car - the bonnet's rusting through and needs replacing :( so he's done some work to keep it held together in the meantime. I came back to York and cleaned the kitchen - my mum gave me some sink cleaning stuff and a couple of other things that I never really have the spare money for, so I got carried away cleaning the kitchen.
Work's been fine - I'm sure the novelty of working in a better place will wear off sooner or later, but right now it shows no signs of abating ;) I feel guilty about even checking my emails, and even though I'm on my lunch right now I feel vaguely like I'm taking advantage of the facitilies. Bizarre, but if it means I have work to do and I'm enjoying it it's no bad thing. And the girl I work with mostly is off this week and the other woman in the office mainly works from home so I've been listening to Tori and other good music :D
One of my old workmates just called in to say hi. I don't miss the job in the slightest, but I do miss a couple of the people. It was nice to get all the gossip on what's going on there and it is nice to know that I made the right decision in leaving. Apparently my replacement is bored out her mind.
Anyway, I'm sorry I've not been posting the last few days. I'll try and make a post each lunchtime to keep my audience happy. I can't really blame people for letting my guestbook get lonely when I've not updated for ages, can I? (Althought I'm a bit hurt that it's not full of messages asking where I am ;p Oh well....)
More journal entries soon, I hope, and the new version of my site is still in the works. In the meantime, hope this is enough to keep you all happy ;)
