a sigh of relief... on the college front, anyway.

The Ataris - Boys Of Summer

I was somewhat concerned when I didn't turn up to my Induction Day at college due to a mishap in the post not so long ago. (Basically, the letter telling me when to arrive came, er, on the day of the induction itself... and I woke up to find I'd missed it. ) I'd spent the last couple of weeks trying to get a hold of my Curriculum Manager, Pete Statham, who's been taking care of my re-admission recently, but was kinda worried when I received no reply. Thinking that the college had finished term for the summer, such thoughts as, "OH, HOLY MOTHER OF JEEZBURGERS" and "I'M DOOMED" ran through my mind - what if I turned up on Enrolment Day to find that they had dropped my acceptance for not turning up at Induction?
Luckily, I received a letter in the post this morning. It had details of the appointment every student is given where they have to bring their grades to their Personal Tutor on Enrolment Day, and all the other malarkey I got given when I joined last year. >_>; So all's fine now, and I (hopefully... -_-) have nothing to lose on the college front - roll on, September, is what I have to say!

My bronchitis is clearing up okay, although I keep falling asleep randomly. I get tired really easily, I assume because of a lack of oxygen reaching my brain, or perhaps this BLOODY HEAT...
On top of this, I get rather breathless, so, if I get even slightly stressed out, I turn into a huffing, panting wreck. I assure you, however, that it really is no biggie, and I hope to be back to my old self in no time.

Despite the positives in my days, I am still feeling pretty down about things. Mainly the whole ex-scapade. I'm confused and hurt still. I don't know, my ex-boyfriend is giving off mixed signals... he says he cares about me, he says he still has feelings for me - on the other hand, everything else he's been saying has sounded thoroughly apathetic, and it's really beginning to irritate me. I mean, Jesus Christ, he could at least show a little sympathy, being that it's mainly his fault I'm in this mess in the first place. *fumes*

Also, I'm getting tired of not having any money. The monthly £40 my mother gives my brother and I as pocket money, albeit a kind gesture, will NOT last me the whole of August. Especially as trips to London cost £21 for a return ticket alone, and if I'm going to patch things up some more with my ex, go shopping in the capital, or actually go out and have some fun this summer, I need money to fund these said trips. I've seen an ad in the window of a shop here, but I don't have much faith in finding myself a job... I'm so used to applying for these things and never hearing back. Still, being that I would like SOME money to splash around this summer and have a good time, I should really make some effort and try and get myself somewhere to work.

On a final note, the heatwave around here is still pissing me the hell off! I hope it doesn't stay this hot for much longer. I seriously can't do ANYTHING in this blazing inferno, and sunburn doesn't sound too appealing either (yet I've managed to, thus far, avoid it. o_O;) For God's sake, let it rain or something! Fucking global warming. :|
