Carry this picture for luck, tucked in your pocket...

Today has been manic then depressive (Oh I am witty =S). Boulders was crazy this morning I can't believe how hyper and thus noise and badly behaved the kids were. Hopefully it is down to still being on a sugar high after Christmas and won't last. Although I did have suggestions that it was to do with the wind (weird or what?).

This afternoon and evening have been a more sedate (boring!) affair with my project inching towards conclusion although I still have a lot to do. I simply must get it finished by the weekend as I really really don't want to be still working on Monday afternoon.

I can't wait to get that first exam and project hand in over and done with then its only one more exam and a viva before the whole slog starts again except I have cleverly given myself three lecture modules in 2A. Hopefully my interest won't be my undoing.

I am really itching to get out and take photos despite it being incredibly windy today! I also love my new hat! Its super warm and I think I look amazing. If I am feeling frivolous I may even post a picture! I should probably start a photo a day album on my pbase at some point as I have heard so many people say they improve their photography; once exams are over I think I shall do that!

Karen get's back to Sheffield tomorrow so I am looking forward to just hanging out with her again. People keep asking when we are going to get married! I don't deal well with pressure but I feel warm and fuzzy that people think we should! =P

These photographs keep me alive...

Today has been rather bleh. Haven't done much just pottered around and tried to get on with my project. I concentrated so poorly this afternoon and evening its unbelievable. Rather annoyed at myself actually.

Here is a photo of my poor bandaged finger in A & E. I'm still covered in plasters but its not been as painful today and I have learnt never to let Karen leave otherwise bad things happen!


I am in bed again just relaxing as its a Saturday night. Hoping that Boulders goes well tomorrow and that my discussion will possibly get finished. It really really should. I wish the silly internet wasn't so distracting. :(

Karen is away having fun with old people at a dog show! Apparently they have been asking about me so I am a bit scared, tehe. I hope I pass the test. ;)

Everybody hurts, everybody cries...

So its been a hectic few days since returning to Sheffield. After an expensive shop, a nerve wracking interview and much revision I finally had Thursday night had to be alone and go to bed super early ready to get up and push on with my project which hadn't moved for several weeks. I had eaten a tasty lasgne with my dodgy homemade garlic bread (fried bread with garlic - too much effort really =P) and was in the kitchen clearing up before making a tasty tasty hot chocolate and I managed to smash a glass causing a fairly deep cut on my right hand ring finger below the first knuckle. It was bleeding quiet profusely and I was nauseous because I am a wimp so I rang my medical advisor! What would we do without medical students!

Fortunately I was given a lift to a & e and looked after whilst I was there. It was really good to catch up actually and talk about several random things including why does Sprite have 4x the calories of diet coke, when I was going to get engaged, and my fastidious planning for the trip to Morocco! Anyway we were stuck there until just after midnight and all I have to show for it is a plaster. I hate stitches but at least that would have been more impressive, I could've gone to Boots for goodness sake. Hmph to my overactive circulatory system.

I am now sat in bed having a had a bleh day. I am feeling a bit alone because Karen isn't in Sheffield or near a computer, so I am really looking forward to seeing her on Monday lunchtime. My new camera bag and monopod arrived earlier and I have so far concluded that the bag is perfect and the monopod would make an awesome sword/lightsabre/eye-pokin-out-device. If I am feeling bored I may wander to Goodwin tomorrow and see if there is any hockey on to shoot for a bit.

I should have planned for Boulders tonight but its totally slipped my mind. Were doing about "When I met Jesus" so I have to think of when I did meet Jesus! Its not as easy as I imagined. I guess I have always felt watched over and seen prayers answered (exam results, university placings, being accepted, being fancied, being loved...) which isn't as dramatic as one single event but having brought me this far in life I am not going to give up on it now.

I also found this video, its absolutely brilliant! I want to immitate this so badly!

You amaze me more than you could know, and I need you all the time, laying stars you make me dream of bliss, and I've loved you all the time...

Karen comes home in less than 48 hours!!

I can't wait to meet her at the station. :)

Work has been incredibly boring this week and I have been very lonely but I shall be seeing Paul and Bryan and Matt tomorrow when we go to see InMe which is going to be ace. Their new albums is really good! I very much like it. I am listening to it repeatedly in order to learn it for tomorrow night. =P

I can't wait to go to the lodge with Kazz, its going to be a great week, even if the weather is pants and we don't do anything I'll still be with her...

The email she sent last night made me feel unbelievable, I've never felt so loved. I am truly truly blessed to have her. I can't be more amazed at what God has given me. She's everything to me.

I am getting excited about the start of the school term too! Boulders starts next weekend which is going to be great to get back in there with new kids and new team! Hopefully God will provide us with an amazing program of stuff to follow and that we will be able to have a really great time with the kids.

I am going to head into town to shoot for a bit and to pick up train tickets.

I am so excited about Saturday!
