Hmmm. My life sucks right now, and the annoying thing is that it's mostly my own fault. Sometimes I hate me. First off, I've finished the exams I was re-sitting, which is a happy happy thing. However, I *am* writing a piece of sociology coursework which is proving... interesting. In a way that isn't, even remotely. See, they never really informed me I was taking the subject, they didn't chase me up when I missed seminars I didn't know about, and then they sent me an exam timetable. And told me I'd failed my coursework. Hmmm. However, I did manage to pass one of the modules with enough marks that I can pass if I finish this coursework reasonably. So I'm working like a monkey on proplus to get this done. This is my first break in a while.

Then there's my grandma's funeral next week, which I *will* be going to, though this means that I won't be able to pay my rent on time and will have to pay late fees after I've got my tax back. (Lump sum of £142 though, which'll be nice). I have very little money, but my parents took me food shopping when I first moved in so I've still got a little food before I have to survive on toast or rice and gravy again.

Also there's my flatmate's ridiculous lovelife, which I am trying like hell to be quietly supportive about, trying like hell to not get involved, but it's not as easy as it looks to prevent myself from referring to her (ex) boyfriend as "the c***". And I really hate that word.

But soon... soon it will all be over. Soon I can go back into hibernation... or start writing again. God, how I miss writing. When I *can*, I don't, and when I can't I feel the need. I hope I can get something written in the short space of time between the two states- when I can and do. If that makes sense.

In other news... I am not friending people back right now- it's genuinely nothing personal, it's just that I'm already skipping around 75 every day, and since I don't get all that much time on the internet this is not a helpful place to be. It also means I have not read any slash in weeks. :0( This is what comes of being a student, I'm afraid. Therefore, if I don't friend you back, or if I prune my friends list, please know I don't hate you, and you will be straight back on there when I can get my own 'net connection. Which will be sometime after I buy shoes. I really need shoes.

I'm always so relieved that I've never lived in a share house of any kind. It sounds a really irritating academic situation. What's the coursework on? Ah actually you probably don't have time to answer that, but I'd be prepared to field the odd question if it's in one of my areas if it would help. I don't have buckets of time, but hey it'd be good karma and I haven't built up so much of that lately.

Cheers for the offer of help, but I was a good little bunny and worked hard yesterday and finished it. I have printed it out, and it's sitting next to me, and I have a wonderful feeling of closure. Now I just have to go find a job...

And the shared house? It has it's good points. Sometimes you have to look *really* hard for them, but they're there.

Is there a way to make arrangements with your landlord for the rent to be late? If you talk to them in advance they might waive or reduce the late fees.
Good to hear from you.
*hugs*

I will attempt to talk to them. They're very odd and crazy old men, though, so I might need to take the Littlest Buttmonkey with me for support. She's only about 5 foot. I am a big ol' coward. =)

It's good to hear from you, too. *hugs back*

PS Gargoyle/pigeon done... ;)

When I *can*, I don't, and when I can't I feel the need.
man, is that the truth. I could've written any damn time i pleased all summer, and now that training is starting up, i'm aching to! And I think a lot of us are at that sad time when school/work/RL means "bad kitty! no internet!" We're happy to see you whenever you're here :)

Thank you kindly. *g*

And I *will* write. I *must*. Festness beckons. Damn, I love fests. They force me to get my ass at least partially in gear. =)
