i have discovered that i have a love of online shopping when i am stressed. just spent a few hours last night doing just that; spent money on the forever 21 site (f21 uk is tons better than f21 singapore. i'd never step into the s'pore stores), the zazzle site (bought a customised mug for the bf's birthday. also bought him a shirt from f21 on top of all my purchases) and amazon (bought birks for spring/summer weather. i am sick of wearing boots). spent about hundred pounds in total siiigh ): plus the bf doesn't like surprises at all so he already knows i'm getting him a mug and a shirt (although he doesn't know what's on the mug hahaha). although now he's refusing to drink from the mug (then i buy for what huh) because "what if i break it"??? >_> sigh.

the bf is now clogging up room space with our joint purchase of our very own wine making kit. in my defence, he coerced me into it. but it should be interesting to drink our very own self made strawberry wine in about a week's time. both of us were too impatient to buy the 28 day kit which tends to be more popular so we figured we;d go for the 7 day one. lol at the impatience of youth.

it's extremely disturbing that my spanish oral is in 3 days and i haven't finished prepping for it AT ALL ): siiiigh. plus IRM final essay due in 3 weeks, spanish final in 3 weeks as well and fnal exams for politics in early june and i feel so unprepared for everything. have started studying but i don't feel like i've moved very much at all. everyone i talk to (with the exception of my parents haha) seems to think i'll just ace the exams with no problems and i'll do fine and i truly hope i'll come home with a second upper or higher for this year but all the same i am scared shitless about what may happen. i wish i had the same confidence in myself that my friends have in me.

it's been ages since i've blogged! i'm not even sure if anyone checks this blog anymore hahaha. but all the same, here i am. easter's been pretty decent but i guess the backlog of work is coming to chew on my ass right about now which is not cool because school starts in two days ): all the same, had a great eurotrip to bremen, berlin, oslo and copenhagen and had a real blast of a time there. so many things i could say just about the trip alone but i'm just grateful and lucky to have the chance to be able to travel as much as i have.

bestie came to visit me a few days ago and she just left earlier today so i was really sad when she went, but also really appreciative that she'd made the effort to come down all the way from edinburgh to coventry to hang out with me for a few days. when i saw her, it was as if the months we'd spent not seeing each other all disappeared and we were the same people we'd always been, ever since we were thirteen and knew we were gonna be besties. conversation flowed easily, i introduced her to all my friends here at warwick, and all of us had a great picnic in the sunny spring weather of coventry. she also found out some sekret things about me that no one outside warwick has figured out yet (no thanks partially to the teasing of my warwick friends while playing drinking games...in the early afternoon) and she was quite cool with it which i was ever more grateful about. i'm lucky to have a bestie like that, who doesn't judge and all and who takes me the way i am. i'm not quite sure how my other mates would take it (if they ever find out that is) but i doubt it would be with the equanimity that she did.

so exams are coming soon and i'm spazzing out but somehow the people in singapore and amrika are dying even worse cuz theirs are much earlier, and even bestie's exams end like a month before mine... and this is scotland we're talking about, not some far away place so it's really amazing how far behind warwick puts their exams. i guess it's good and bad. good because that means our easter isn't so stressful but bad because we don't get to finish as fast as everyone else. even london universities finish like 2 weeks before us ): but now i'm slogging away at my spanish and i fully intend to try and do the best i can though my spanish oral is in like NINE DAYS argh ): okay back to the slog.
