Hot n Sweaty

Im absolutely knackered as I write this as I have walked miles and miles today, and it only lunchtime! I knew I would regret giving up the bus pass. Still, I know that its takeaway pizza for tea tonight so I have to work off the calories first I suppose.

Also, to be brutally honest I really want to stay away from my flatmates at the moment. They do nothing unless I ask them to, and its making me feel really crappy. If I suggest cleaning the flat I get a blank look and comments like “Its clean already…” (when really it’s so bad it smells). Also, one of them is so lazy they cant get up before 11, when they then demand the hot water be switched on for them to have a shower. I have tried tactfully pointing out that if they got up between 8 and 10 then the water would then still be hot, but I just get a huffy “whatever”. Our last gas bill was more than £200 because they can’t be arsed using the shower when the water is hot, and re-heat the whole tank every time. I cant wait to afford my own place. I regret moving in with them at all.

Im also struggling to make a decision about whether or not to aply for PhDs or get a job. The job pays better but will be the same stuff all the time, whilst A PhD is much less affordable but I think I really like academia and original research better than the same job for the rest of my life.

I dont know what to do so I’m going to email my friends for advice.

I understand the whole housemates thing. I’ve ranted about mine enough. Both are useless. One selfishly expects people to run around after him, and the other is irritating beyond reason and incapable of even the most menial tasks unless supervised like a child, so I really do understand. Wish I could offer a valid opinion about the PhD, but I never made if much past a-levels. 🙂
