Going home

Yesterday my friend stayed over, she just came around and we watched movies, ate food, then went to bed at 1am ish. This morning we went and had weatherspoons full english before she went back. I got up early today and so am quite tired now. It was nice to chill out with a friend though.

The next few weeks are going to be busy. I am going to see my family for a few days, then just after Christmas I am going to France, with the Boy's Dad, little brother, and hopefully two sisters, (also his Nan and Aunty)so it should be interesting. We are going for a week so will be spending New Years there! I am not sure how I feel about it at the moment. I am a bit nervous I think...

I have a lot to do still tonight and tomorrow. I have to get my stuff together, make the place spotless so I have a clean place to come back to finish all my washing, call the insurance company tomorrow, call the water bill company tomorrow, sort out what course materials I am going to take, get some contact lenses, go to the bank...the list goes on. I will probably not leave til late because I realllly want a spotless flat.

Today I went and collected my marks for the other essay I finished the day I went to Paris. I basically wrote it in an hour then was really angry with myself for leaving it so late. I got 63 :)not only that but I got outstanding for my analysis, originality and critical thinking. I let myself down on easy things like bibliography and just when i missed out words stupidly in sentences because I didn't have time to proof read! She also said there is clear potential for me to get a much higher grade in the future! So I am not so much pleased, but more positive now. I am not pleased because it is clear that if I put more time into it I would have aced it, and I didn't so I am still letting myself down.....But it has given me that little bit of confidence I needed because I was starting to feel as though I was the stupidest person doing this degree.

My Boy also got an essay back, he also did his in a day but got 50% I think he is really dissapointed but isn't saying. He is so lazy but then say's he knows he will be okay because he is good at writing essays, but not many people can write a good essay in a day with no prior knowledge or research...he isn't one of them unfortunately and yes he writes amazing essays when he puts the time in but unfortunately he just isn't doing that, yet expecting miracles. Although in the light of me being pleased I sound like an arrogant twat because I did better it isn't like that. I love him soooooo much and all I want is for him to do well.

Seen as we are talking about him, I miss him already, he went to see his Dad for a few days on Friday and we haven't really spoken much since (only two days, I know) but I really do miss everything about him already. I love that man so much.
