And I'm not really just talking about this blog...

Life sucks right now, but nobody wants to hear how badly life sucks do they; it just upsets everyone :( But that doesn't change the fact that I have 4,500words in English and 800words in German due in for Thursday and Friday of next week.

Maybe I really did choose the wrong subject =_=;;

My website's alive again though. I changed the layout again. First time in this year. Teddy's apparently going to change the domain name though? Really hope she doesn't... I fell in love with TW.ORG for its name...

And I don't want to switch hostesses because Teddy's absolutely lovely and I've really become attached to CK.TW.Org. It's been 3 years, after all... It's become more of an abode for me than my blog now methinks; there's so much more I can write on a personal website as nobody ever visits it. Although, recently, I don't think my blog has had any visitors either... That's ok though :)

I'm happy being anonymous.

And it's another December and another christmas is coming up and I'm about to turn even older next year. But hey! End of term soon :) Definitely looking forward to that.

However, for now, I have to first get this darned essay finished. Due in tomorrow, 3000 words, I am currently on 752 and counting up verrry slowly. I've kinda just hit a brick wall and not sure where to continue atm.

It's not that I can't type fast, that I can, but I just don't know what to say :( Aiya...

But I'm loving my new laptop. It's been with me about a month now and I must admit it is one of the best investments I've made ^^ Decided to get it cos I'll need something to take to Germany with me where I can do all my work but still, it has certainly already come in handy.

Right... such a random post. Had a few problems with my bf lately but we're still together ^^ It's been over a month now... actually, a month and a week so far... Doesn't sound like much but is quite a lot for me!

Boat party over the weekend, was preeetty darn cool--Venetian Masquerade themed. Met up with Panda, Emma, Ani, the twins, Lisa (and finally met her bf after 2 years, omw!) and so many others again ^^ Was really great! Bf did not accompany me tho... Blehhh ><;;

Back to essay... Just needed something to procrastinate on for a bit I guess!

Just downloaded iTunes and it's not working properly :( Wtf man... =_=;;

I've been feeling so crap lately.

I've been studying relatively hard tho, but I swear I have the concentration span of a gnat. Why do I get bored so damn easily? Why is my course so damn boring?

That being said, I fell in love with one of the pieces of literature I had to read for my course. I literally found it rather difficult to put down. Im Westen Nichts Neues - All Quiet On The Western Front, as it was translated into English. Such good book, but so damn sad.

But must have been the best piece of German lit I've had to read for my course so far. Such an amazing war book... I've had way too much to do with the war in my course, what with all the depressing films and books in which at least one person dies or the main character tries (and mainly succeeds) to commit suicide, but this is seriously a good book.

Of course they all die, but it's just so damn well written.

I recommend it to everyone :D Read the English translation if you can't understand the German version, although it does lose some of its original meaning but in some cases I think the English version has expressed it even better than the German original, which is pretty damn impressive :)

That being said, I just felt so crap after I finished reading it tonight. Such a sad ending, but it's not particularly surprising. Germany hasn't exactly won a war in its history so far and Im Westen Nichts Neues is based on the First World War, 1914-1918.

Really makes you feel for the Germans, tbh... They've gone through so much crap, but it wasn't the soldiers' faults that they had to kill or be killed. Every time I see a poppy here, I just wonder again, seriously...

The cover of the German version, one that I have now scribbled all over because it is such an amazing book and I just actually had to get my own copy. I'll probs read it again when I have some spare time...

Going back to wonderful Financial Reporting 1 now... joy... I really don't understand it at all :( It's more of a foreign language than German ><;; Hm... maybe a bit more procrastination first though :)

Yeah so after establishing that I have been inactive for an insane amount of time, I realised that I got another 100pps "for being popular" from Papagoya?? Er... something wrong with the picture here =p

Seriously, I swear he's just giving away random pps.

Anyways, omw! Did I mention? I also got a brand new laptop, first ever *I'd* ever personally gotten hehe ^^ It's sooo cute, only 11'9'', integrated webcam and mic, intel pentium dual core, 250GB storage, 3GB RAM... ah it's sooo good :D

I was set back £449.99 tho omw =_=;; Of my own money too. Stupidly enough I transferred loads of money into my savings account at the start of term so I'm now going into overdraft because I don't want to transfer it out again in case I lose out even more on the interest :(

Also, in my state of absolute poverty, I also ended up spending £55 on make-up on Sunday. Bad times -_-;; But Lancome were giving away £50+ worth of free gifts if I bought 2 items, and selling a make-up set worth £130 for £35 if I spent over £30 in any one transaction! But also I get £15 discount vouchers if I spend more than £30 as well...

Damn their marketing is a bit toooo good.

So I trudged home with £200 odd worth of make up for only £55. Hey, I'd say that was a bargain =p I'd buy another set to sell off on ebay and make a profit if I could be arsed, but nar, don't really have the time. Was so damn heavy!

Off to study some more now ^^

Wow, actually officially hadn't been on NuTang in over a month. Kind of a kick to the stomach when I signed on again and had no pages surfed and only 1 popularity point on a Saturday... Have I really died that badly off NuTang?? =O

Anyways, I realised I never mentioned anything after not knowing if I'd go back to Uni... Well, thank God, I was allowed to continue on a full honours degree for my course, which means they're just taking my fail as a pass. Seriously... God is too good to me ><;;

I also have a bf now :) We'd been sort of together since before summer, but didn't want to start anything then and weren't sure of each other either but now we are together ^^

We met in Feb... I'm very happy being with him <3

New year, also means more responsibilities... Free Hugs Secretary and Badminton Club Publicity and Sponsorship committee. So busy :( Organised an event originally intended for about 30 people, 83 people turned up... It is a good thing but seriously, I was so stressed.

Had such a crap evening, had a headache most of the time and only 2 people really helped somewhat, one was my bf, other was Ken, an absolutely amazing guy who both my bf and I are really good friends with.

One guy didn't pay up at the start and I spent a good couple of hours trying to find him. Didn't get to eat properly until like 21:30... Sigh... Never doing that again. Just got rid of fb again as well. Swearing off exec activities for the next few weeks at least. I need to study.

Other than that, I'm going to China for xmas!! With my entire family ^^ They hadn't been back in sooo long. Well, my dad hadn't been back for 8 yrs before the short trip he made a few months ago and my mum hasn't been back in 5 years and the last time I went back was Summer '07.

We really don't have the money right now, but it's time we stopped acting so damn poor and went back as a family :)

I swear I'll write a better entry some other time, but right now, I feel so down over so many things...
