ahhh sunny weather... what did i say you ask? did i say sunny? ok let's try this again... SUNNY WEATHER!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!:) *beams* yes people... the sun is actually out in Glasgow! all the way to abt 2145 as well!:) isn't that amazing coming from a place which rains all that time!:)

Birthday is coming up on sunday.. the plan is to get really drunk.. no lah pls.. but anyhow.. did i ever mention that 2 other pple in my cell group have the same birthday as me? i didn't? WELL... it just so happens that Chris and Mel have the same birthday as me... so we're all going to have a party at his place on Sat... and his theme for the party... cowboys and indians.. haha... oh well... should be quite an ok theme... the thing is Chris is going to hire a ceildh band... a ceildh is like a traditional dancing thing.. dunno if i'll be up for that.. haha...

monday is a bank holiday here in glasgow... so i actually get a night off on my birthday night! YAY!!! *beams*

Getting burn out on the down side... sunday was a waste yet not a waste... throughout the whole week i've been balancing work and revision.... periods and flat hunting.. all of these... yes including the period and it's various cramps.. they make you irritable and generally bitchy/crabby blah blah blah....

so work and revision you guys get right... flat hunting... want to hear a horror story... try this one on for size...

so there was this girl looking for a flat and thought it'd be nice to flat with friends... unfortunately, friends aren't well THAT reliable sometimes... i'm sorry to say it.. but they aren't... i miss the 21st.. i really do... that was dependability.. sigh....

Anyhow i'll save more bitching for later... the original group of pple i was supposed to flat with fell through.. the various group dynamics... not too good... even now they have their ups and downs.. and they're my closest friends in Glasgow... hmmm... i don't mean this in a bad way.. but i'm glad i have other friends... you know how you're close to a bunch of pple but sometimes you need a break from them.. i think this is my time.. and i'm infinitely grateful for all the other friends i have here in Glasgow... and in fact.. i'm getting to know them better as well... which is great for me... well... always look on the bright side of life? :)

Anyhow... back to flatting... at 1st there was this flat that one of the church elders bought and me and kenneth were meant to move into... but 2 problems.. the rent was pretty steep and erm living one on one with a guy heh... some pple esp those in the church had problems with that... so hey i give up that flat.. but in between.. there were a lot of misunderstandings btwn me and kenneth in btwn... but i'm glad we sorted those out... hmmm never take ANY friendship for granted... anything could detroy your relationship... be sure to confront the issue rather than let it fester that's all i'm going to say... speaking up and being frank with each other are hallmarks of good friendships i feel..

the 2nd flat was meant for a 4 pple.. but no one wanted to take the small room and the suggestion was to draw lots which i wasn't very happy with... and then 2 pple pulled out to live in another flat... SIGH.... so that went down badly since the other 2 pple didn't personally tell me they were pulling out... i would appreciate hearing it from the horse's mouth vs from someone else... sure i would eventually hear of it... but still you should have the decency to tell me when you made the decision.. not just assume that i'd hear it from someone else....

the 3rd place was a room in a 3 room flat... LOVED it man.. but too bad the person who was supposed to move out decided not to more out in the end... so got screwed for that as well... was going to get the room too... :(

the 4th place is a 3 bedroom flat.. it's huge.. great place... good location... but the fact that it's huge means that it's going to be rather cold and heating could be a problem... that and i don't know if there's a phone point or an internet line... hmmm oh well...BUT that flat i'll get only if 1 person from the original groups pulls out... and the girl hasn't gotten back to me so i'm taking it to mean that she's sticking with the original group.. once again... no decency to tell me.. but the day's not over.. i'll give her that... sigh..

another thing that kinda irks me is my roommate... well it's not ENTIRELY her fault.. she's having trouble sleeping and averages abt 3 hours a night... so she told me to study elsewhere after 9pm cos well she wants to sleep and she can't take any lights in the room now for some reason... (after 2 terms of me usually staying up late studying?) so i have to move out of my room after 9pm.. fine... last night i come into my room and she happens to be up getting pills... so her desk lamp was on and i didn't bother to switch on mine... then half way when i was taking my stuff she goes back to bed and switches off the lamp leaving me in pitch darkness... ok to her benefit she might not have noticed that i didn't have my light on... later on when i was moving my stuff back.. and i couldn't move all of them at one shot since erm... i have a lot of stuff? anyway... i left the light on and went to get the rest of my stuff... when i came back.. the lamp was off... so i guess A) she wasn't asleep and B) i took too long moving my stuff back cos guess why? i was clearing the dishes in the dishes tray since they were left out to dry (mostly by carol) and i know the cleaning auntie will have a tough time clearing everything up the next day.. so FINE... i clear it up and go back to a pitch dark room with a shitload of heavy stuff.... but hey to her benefit i would have switched the light off if i knew that i'd be away for so long.. can't blame her for that.... but still you know that feeling when you don't know whether to be angry or not? i mean i AM very peeved... but at the same time... i think she has reason but it still doesn't stop me from being peeved?! i dunno lah. pray i can survive this period esp since exams are coming up and i need to revise... and yes.. even after 9pm... sigh...

so many things that i need sorted out... so little time...
