She's found the cure, her futures already begun...

We are getting ready to move out today, lots of cleaning and organising.

I went into town to buy some extortionately priced oven cleaner and got U-571 to watch tonight. Saving Private Ryan is in stock nowhere! A very distressing thing indeed.

Yesterday I went to York to talk about my summer job. I shall be starting on the 15th for 10 weeks with 2 holidays. ^_^

Its all coming together rather nicely.

Karen finishes her second week of SAS this week and she seems to be enjoying it a lot. It makes me so happy for her to be doing something that she loves. I still feel sad about her leaving Sheffield in a couple of weeks and am mentally preparing myself for her going to Borneo.

I can't wait for next summer, there's just that pesky level 3 in the way first!

You move through my soul like a hurricane wind...

I am back home now after a hectic journey yesterday.

Getting up at 6 after 3 hours sleep and navigating two airports, a but and two train stations is tricky when you want to fall asleep every time you site down.

Karen picked me up from the station and it felt so good to hold her in my arms again. Its like I have never been away. I love it.

We had karenlemonchicken last night and cake!!! She's amazing.

I am currently at home whilst allllllllllll my washing gets done.

I have to go to York on Thursday to talk about my job which shall be interesting. They have offered to pay for train fare so I may go first class. =P

I shall edit my photos ASAP too as hopefully my locust one has come out well.

You lie awake at night, blue eyes that never lie...

Today has been OK, our experiment is rapidly moving forward but the stats are proving difficult with such reams of data. Things are getting fractious in groups particularly those who are cooking which can make it really tough.

Hopefully everything will go well on Sunday when myself and Katy do our presentation!

I hope I don't have to work too hard on my birthday. ;)

I'm superdedooperde excited about my card!!!

Your love's a gathered storm I chased across the sky...

Your love's a gathered storm I chased across the sky
A moment in your arms became the reason why
And you're still the only light that fills the emptiness
The only one I need until my dying breath
And I would give you everything just to
Feel your open arms
And I'm not sure I believe anything I feel

And now, now that you're near
There's nothing more without you
Without you here

And I'm trying to believe
In things that I don't know
The turning of the world
The color of your soul
That love could kill the pain
Truth is never vain
It turns strangers into lovers
And enemies to brothers
Just say you understand
I never had this planned

And now, now that you're near
There's nothing more without you
Without you here
Without you here
There's nothing more without you
Without you here

My head lies to my heart
And my heart it still believes
It seems the ones who love us are the ones
That we deceive
But you're changing everything
You're changing everything in me

And now, now that you're near
There's nothing more without you
Without you here

I really feel these lyrics are true right now...

Hier kommt die Sonne...


I am sitting in a computer room with a cat! Oh the shame and the horror. Hopefully it won't eat me. Now its sniffing a laptop bag. ZOMG it sat on me!

Anyhoo today has been up and down. I was overcome with hayfever earlier and felt rather minging, but now it seems to have cleared up. My trusty nasal spray came to the rescue.

I am glad that I can at least offer statistical awareness to my group as I felt like I wasn't giving many ideas although they are coming more readily.

I am still counting the days until I can snug Karen again. I really miss the support she gives me in every situation. She is the only one who understands me. I don't feel like I can quite be myself around anyone else.

5 sleeps...

Tuesday 17 June 2008

You touched my heart, you touched my soul, you changed my life and all my goals...

Today has been better. We are starting our projects tomorrow and will hopefully be working with wild carrots!

Colin the weevil has just been released. =S

I still can't wait to go home and have a hot shower and hug Karen. Not mutually exclusive. ;)

I am getting a bit more excited about my birthday present and must remember to open my birthday card!

I hope I get cake!

Hopefully my macro photos will turn out OK I need to convert my RAW files soon though.

I got a locust and lots of flower shots. ^_^

Monday 16 June 2008

This one goes out to the one I've left behind...

I am a bit homesick although Portugal is ok. Macro photos are proving difficult but I hope to have some shots by the end of the week.

Hope Karen's teaching went well.

I wish we were in Sweden...

Saturday 14 June 2008

I will wait for you, she said, endlessly...

I go to Portugal tomorrow, which I am excited about, but I am still rather nervous and sad about leaving Kazz for a week.

I shall try to keep my blog updated as much as possible whilst I am there.

I can't believe it is summer already. People have already left! Jen and FiL are in the Maldives, Chris and Louisa are going to Ecuador, Kat is going to Madagascar...

Its going to be strange not having everyone living within 15 minutes walk for three whole months.

"I will wait for you," she said,

"endlessly."

Friday 13 June 2008

My life is yours, in your gifted hands...

Had a great time yesterday at Alton Towers. I even went some roller coasters! We tried Air, Spinball Whizzer and the Mine Train which were pretty fun. Also the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ride, Hex, Duel and the river rapids. I had a great time. I love being with Karen.

I am looking forward to the Portugal course but not being apart. Its going to be difficult but should be ok. I can't wait to get home and get my present from Karenstickalaren. I haven't even left yet whoops! =P

BBQ in the park time today to say goodbye to everyone which shall be fun.

Wednesday 11 June 2008

I'll let you tear it up...

I love not having exams. Its such a relief to relax and do whatever we want.

I am rather excited about Alton Towers. Hope the weather is good.

Its the last Apprentice tonight which may be rather entertaining.

I'm looking forward to my field course in Portugal hopefully I won't get sunburnt and turn into a lobster then Karen wouldn't be too impressed.

Things are going really well. I am so happy. This summer is going to be very hectic but will be a nice break. ^_^

Tuesday 10 June 2008

Laughter is my soul's release...

Its finally over!


I am rather relieved. Had a great time in town with Kazz and a fun lunch with the Opal crew. Today we shall be going to the botanical gardens for ice cream and photographings! I love having nothing to do.

I get my new sunglasses tomorrow too!

Alton Towers is going to be ace. I really hope the weather stays nice.

Sunday 8 June 2008

Were leaving ground, will things ever be the same...



It will all be over soon. I really can't wait. Then after the days dragging by it'll suddenly be Saturday and I shall be going to Portugal.

Can't wait for a break. I am so tired and bored of exams, revision etc...

I can't wait to hug and cuddle for allllllllll day again. ^_^

I didn't get chance to blog yesterday alas, I spent the entire time with Karen in on and around her bed revising and talking. She's ace. We had such good fun and ever were productive. She means the world to me...

Friday 6 June 2008

Its the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine...

I am so sick of revision. I can't wait until Monday until this is over. I want to be able to do nothing again, to listen to music without fear of it stopping me revising. To cuddle without Alcock mocking me in the back of my mind...

I can't wait to go to Alton Towers either!

Thursday 5 June 2008

This one goes out to the one I love...

The Wings won Lord Stanley last night for the fourth time since 1997. They were the better team over the duration of the year and the series hence it was deserved. But from what I have read elsewhere this may have been the last chance for Pittsburgh to keep such a young promising team together what with the cap and UFAs etc. Hopefully we shall see Sid lift The Cup soon enough; just as long as it's not at the expense of the Av's.


I have woken up to this an innumerate number of times. I don't want it to change.

She makes me so happy. I can't wait to spend 5 blissful days together before the start of a hectic summer.

I love my new lens!

Wednesday 4 June 2008

Love, love is a verb, love is a doing word...

I finally got my new lens today huzzah!

Isn't it pretty. I need to get used to the very short focussing range when doing macro and slower shutter speeds but it's going to be fun!

I am currently revising animal behaviour which is ok, but I can't wait until I am finished on Monday.

Wings @ Penguins game 6 tonight! Should be interesting, I think Pittsburgh will win it but lose game 7 back at the Joe.

Tuesday 3 June 2008

Its a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll...

Crazy day. First my glasses break just before my exam and I stress but it goes rather well and I manage to get them fixed. Then into town to order some prescription sunglasses (designer frames ooh er!) and euros. Subway lunch and back to Karen's to watch Blue Planet. Were such geeks! I even managed to clean the shower and not die.

Pens won in triple OT last night and take the series to a game 6. Its going to be interesting...

I saw this and it reminded me of chemistry lessons at A level. Such a long time ago...

Monday 2 June 2008

Oh my God I can't believe it, I've never been this far away from home...

I forgot to Blog yesterday! What a heinous crime.

Church was awesome, an amazing service and I am honestly thrilled that Karen was able to come. It make me so happy that she wants to be with me all the time. She seems to worry about being clingy, but its just that we spend so much time together during term time that when we have to revise on our own it gets tough. And its tough for me too but I don't think that what she expresses is clingititty (new word there!) just that its strange not being together. I'd rather focus on the time we do share as that's what keeps me going. She makes me so happy.

Babies are funny.



Lolz.
