Spammity spam.

Everyone so far seems to be doing fabulously well, results-wise.I am feeling faintly maternal of you all and I just want to pat you all on the heads. At any rate, Mum grilled me about media, then congratulated me, so it's all good. Speaking of media, I'm actually missing it tomorrow - I'm going to history careers oojy-whatsit at college, which is all very nice. Tomorrow, however, I shall go in, have the chat with Elaine about resits (No, really. We all have to. I sense that I will not be doing this) and then wandered around to history, do the dance of joy, wander to English and pretend that I'm really ill and apologise for missing a lesson today. Hurrah for good attendance. If she picks me up on it then I will hit the roof. I have taken precious little time off this year, barring a week in the US. So NYEH. Actually, the Gods of Irony have decided to visit me with the beginning of a monster headache and general bleurghyness, which is ironic but I will wander in tomorrow. According to flickerswitch I have English gloating opportunities to take.

Which is nice. And I've just recieved a phone call off my Grandad, who is on holiday (RUNNING the holiday - he left the phone call with "Oooh heck, I've got to get back to bingo with a bunch of pensioners." It's nice to have a coach-driving Grandad) and yay me etc.

I am now looking at uni stuff again with growing worry. I'm not sure what loan I'm entitled too, but either way I suspect I'm going with bogstandard housing (self-catering, too - Aldi will be my friend) much as I would like one of the spiffy old-fashioned places. Alas, I cannot afford it, so I will be cheapy girl. At least I know I'm going to get in! I'm also looking at the specific courses. I do three other modules as well as my history course, so I'm debating to take two history courses (early modern and medieval? maybe?) and then throwing in sociology or politics. Cos, y'know, politics geek and I like the sociology aspects of it. Also contemplating classics, though, so we'll see.

And now, I have the weirdest urge to watch ROTK. If I put it on now I'll get through the first disc by 10.00...]

[ETA: I hav now purchased my Leavers Do dress after accidentally finding a pretty site (http://www.thedarkangel.com) and then going asurfing.

I wanted this dress because, y'know, OMGPRETTY. However, I also want a dress that I can re-use and recycle. I still want this dress, with all my soul. I do not, however, think I'd actually get up the nerve to wear it.

Next option was this dress but, well, see above. Also, issues were raised regarding soup as a starter dish.

So, I went for this dress. AND MY MOTHER PAID FOR IT as a sort of "Egads! You passed AGAIN!" type thing. I do like the dress, very much (even if I'm a bit iffy about the term "Alternative Prom dress") but I have to take a size 14. Silly bust size makes me look like an hourglass (seriously, hips and bust are the same width and there's about 8" less around my waist) and I am genuinely gutted. Size 14! NO! I am a size twelve! But yes. The dress is ordered. The dress is pretty. I rock and will look very... black on the night. Silver jewellery ahoy.]

Mmmm Classics. Yes, take Classics. But be aware that it's more like Lit than History. In my opinion. Also, have you thought about something like Gender studies? I'm thinking of doing something like that in my electives. I like the idea of getting radically feminist every week!

Congratulations, by the way!

Now if only I could be as lucky with my dress...

yey pretty things.
like silk handkerchiefs, and place settings...
looks like theyve got some new stuff in *hmm*

okay well i just went to the theatre and i must say GO TO SEE THE PILLOWMAN at the Lowry, if you possibly can without dying, it is FANTASTIC, tickets were £18 for pretty damn good seats in the stalls(!) and i'm sure they have some left for later this week - however i also think it finishes on saturday! :'( it was sooooo goood though! acting so perfectly toned, staging so subtle, i actually paid attention to the story and not the wobbly cardboard (cause there wasnt much to wobble) and ooooh, real fire! woo!

GO SEE IT! not that i'm being commanding or anything, tis a dark and profound play. tis apparently a touring company so i suppose it may be in liverpool and so on, but still... the sooner you see it the better :)

Yes, tis I, your random St Andrean internet stalker! Thought I'd leave a comment to say that if you have any kind of uni-specific questions, feel free to leave me a note on my journal. I've been here a long, long time (feels like it anyway), and have managed to accumulate a lot of random knowledge. I do highly recommend the classics department. I love it to bits!

So y'know, if I haven't scared you too much, feel free to ask me stuff if you need to!
