This week

Semester 2 began this week and I am still in quite a large dilemma over what units to choose. Do I wan't to have four 2,500 word essays all due in on the same week or shall I do a different unit and have 3 essays and two exams. I think the latter but now I have to choose between tw different units. one about development and the other a historical IR unit. Now I love IR, but not the history behind it, the here and now is what I love so I am not sure that is the one for me, but the other unit seems less organised and is now classed as a sociology unit (although the content is the same and it was economics up until this year). So tomorrow I suppose I need to make my decision. I will go to the History of IR lecture and see if I like it or not. Then take it from there. Also adding to the dilemma is the fact that the Devleopment lecture is a 9.15 lecture. I am notoriously bad at getting up for 9.15's but I suppose that is just a poor excuse and it needs to be sorted anyway for when i enter the real world! Two 9.15's a week is harldy taxing (I have to get up at 7am at the latest to be ontime for them).

On other things, i had my third driving lesson yesterday and it was amazzziiing!!! I drove so much, did traffic lights, roundabouts, lots of busier junctions, a dual carriage way and I went at almost 60mph! It was so much fun. I literally cannot believe how good of an teacher my driving instructor is. I spoke to her about booking my test at the end and she said 9th of April is fine :D I just need to pass my theory next wednesday then I should be able to book it! Very exciting.

I have been feeling a bit lonely lately, and I can only imagine that it is going to get worse as the semester goes on. It did last year and things were better then as far as knowing people goes..I have tried joining groups and societies, (3 - tramps, L&B, and the newspaper) but nothing good came of any of them so i don't really know what to do anymore. I am just going to try and get as much paid work done as I can in my spare time and hopefully that will occupy me enough. Plus lots of studying of course, that goes without saying, but i am so glad I have essays this term and 2 exams instead of 4.

My man called his Dad today after he hasn't bothered to contact him for nearly a month and a half and he got ignored. I cannot get over how vile that man is, eughh. I can't believe he can treat his own children in such a way. He is THE most selfish person I have ever met and ever hope to meet ever again. It upsets me because I know it is getting to him at the min. On top of that, things are really tight financially, he literally has almost ran out of money and he needs all the help he can get. Because of the the fact that he used to work for him for 2 years and put everything he had into building a relationship with him that way it is hurting him a lot now he has no relationship, no job and no source of income. I just wish I could make his Dad love him so he was happier.

Nothing else is going on in my life as per usual except uni, driving and my boy, so I'll leave it there. I have a 9.15 tomorrow and want to do a quick clean up of the house before I go to bed at 10.30.
