Nothing much to moan about but lots to say

I’ve had a good day today. Nothing to complain about today. Don’t all gasp at once.

Oh no, one thing to moan about. Woke up this morning (or got woken up by Jordan ringing to make sure I was up) and while I was half asleep trying to make myself get ready the fire alarm goes off. We all go downstairs in our pjs and are down there 20 minutes before they say “Thanks everyone that was a fire drill!” You fuckers. That almost made me late.

My lecture was pretty fun. I learned all about transposition of lenses to aid vision. Doesn’t sound fun when I say it like that. Oh and my test. He told us all to get paper and write the numbers 1 – 10. We’re all like “shit I don’t know any of this”. The questions were things like “How many eggs does a peacock lay in one sitting?” “None – the peahen lays eggs”. Again, fucker. I got most right though coz he told me a few of them before in the pub. Anyway, he gave us another week and we have the test then.

After my lecture I went to the post room because Rachel Stevens had sent me a birthday present. Opened it and it was a money box in the shape of a VW camper van with flowers all over it. It’s so cool. She said I should give up smoking and put a quid in it everytime I have a fag. But I’m thinking I just put my coppers and 5ps in it. She also sent me a photograph holder with flowers that hold the photos. It is also very very cool.

I got out of that and went into town with Nicole to exchange her vibrator her boyfriend bought her because it didn’t work. I bought myself a new vibrator too. ’tis good.

We rushed back for our lectures at 1 and I found out mine was going to be a complete waste of time (teaching me how to use the library) so I went back to my room. Was a little annoyed because I could’ve gone to London earlier and maybe seen Jordan’s mum again. Anyway, Jordan rang and asked whether I wanted to go see him. I had work to do but meh…so I went down to London.

Had a lovely afternoon/early evening with Jordan. Coffee, cuddles and food. What more could I ask for? Roses? Well, I wouldn’t ask but he did sent some to my uni. I haven’t got them yet because when they were delivered I was in London. I hope they have put them in water and not just left them overnight. Isn’t he the most wonderful boyfriend? Cheering me up because I’ve been feeling a bit down because of my birthday. I love him. I do love him.

Just now I went to the shop to get some fags and on my way back I ran into a blind friend of mine, Adhara. Stood talking to him for ages and I let him up to my floor and we chatted to a load of people. I love Adhara. I feel sorry for him but he doesn’t let being blind affect him at all. He’s a lovely, funny, very normal guy. Studying creative music technology. Intelligent lad too. He always knows who I am because of my accent and he can always smell smoke. The only time I tend to see him is when he is visting friends in my part of the building (he lives in the separate part of the halls which is normally for people with allergies or special religious needs or stuff like that..I guess because he’s blind but there’s a blind guy in my part too *shrugs*) and I’m always standing outside the entrance door smoking. I always let him him and help him find the wall he follows to get to his friends rooms. He’s cool. A 10 minute trip to the shop took me a little over an hour because of him and his chatty social nature haha.

Anyway, right now…I’m writing this, talking on MSN and thinking about getting an early night. I have missed the past 2 weeks of the lecture I have tomorrow morning because of my sleeping patterns so I really should. I CANNOT miss this lecture. Lectures 9-12 and 3-5 tomorrow. Next week that changed to 9-12 3-4 and 5-7. Fun eh? Yeah.
