If I think of anything "witty" for a title for this, I will change it.

This thing is probably a waste of time, but I figure I might as well try to get back into using it again, at least to vent a little when things are frustrating me. For instance, right now.

Nothing in particular is annoying me, just myself, I suppose. My life is pretty good... uni's going well enough (although I'm not enjoying it as much as I'd hoped right now), work is the usual, I'm in a nice flat with my best friend, I have more of a social life now than I have done for a long time. However, still, I am seriously struggling. With everything. I am almost constantly bored but have no motivation to do anything. Uni work, especially. I know I should, I have plenty to be getting on with (well... enough), and I could be looking for a PhD or a job or anything to do when I graduate. I just really do not care right now.

This in itself is starting to cause problems. I've felt this way for months, a year? Before now, I've just been getting on with it, putting in the effort I need to and getting by, but now I can't even muster the energy to do that. I'm worried it's starting to affect my uni work, I'm only in two days a week but I managed to miss yesterday out of plain laziness. I've not had much uni work back yet, but thankfully it has been decent so far. However, the lack of CV-writing and looking for something to do in 6 months time is a worry. I still don't care enough to do much, but it's a worry. I'm also feeling a little guilty that I'm worrying some of my friends, Martin in particular. He, Euan and Phil take most of the brunt of my boredom and moaning right now (and if any of them read this, for that I am sorry) and I fear they're going to be worrying unnecessarily . I'm not worth that, for a start, and people have enough going on in their own lives to worry about. I'd rather be the one to help them, than have them help me. Yet my selfish brain keeps moaning at them and basically seeking pity and attention. Ugh. I hate myself.. I'm trying to be good, but I keep being this selfish, greedy bitch, and then feel guilty for thinking this because it makes me feel still more selfish and so on.

There was probably a point in here somewhere, but I've rather forgotten it. I'm still bored. I'm still frustrated. I still feel guilty for bugging my friends with all of this, and I'm still worried about all of them.

There's a whole other post in itself, regarding friends. I may wait and write that another night, though. For now I shall return to my wallowing in boredom and frustration.

Hello all (Johnny? lol).

Thanks to dear Martin, got a sudden urge to update this thing. Thanks to daft me, got a sudden mind blank to accompany it!

I don't really know what to say other than I feel a bit shit right now (as facebook can confirm). I feel like talking but I don't want to say what's wrong, just feel like rambling about feeling shit and leave everyone guessing. Suppose this is the bad thing about my livejournal, people can see it. Not so much that I have anything to hide, just that I would rather.

Methinks I'll go and make a private post. Yes.

Hope all is well with anyone who reads this.

Dear LJ-world...

I have no idea if anyone even still uses this, though I did notice a post by dearest Silv in March!! How's it going? I thought I'd pop by and say hi since it's been so long. And also since I am on my first ever laptop - all shiny and new and "pretty" (Sarah). Where to begin...

I'm now at Glasgow Uni, just about to enter 3rd Year studying Earth Science. Still working away in Morrisons. Not with Mark anymore, as of over a year ago in fact! Now with the charming King of the Nerds, Martin. Still living at home, though hoping to move out with Steph (aka Tranny/Slutty/Roxy...) next year.

Well there ya go, the briefest of breif updates and I shall now depart.

I hope all is well in the worlds of anyone who might stumble upon this. Maybe I shall stumble upon a post by you sometime soon?

Hey guys...

...and girls. And Stacey =P hehe. How is everyone doing? Well, I hope. What have ye all been up to? Would just like to say a big thank you to those who came to my birthday cinema night out thingy, and also to Audrey and Ems for the lovely presents. Much appreciated *Hugs*. Also another belated happy birthday to Scott. Hopefully you can arrange something soon so everyone can meet up. I was thinking another night at the cinema, I quite fancy the look of "The Kingdom" does anyone else?

Now, Uni. Still here (woo! Go me!) and still just about surviving. Have studied my way through some stuff I didn't understand in Chemistry, only to be bombarded by yet more things I don't understand. So will have to do lots of Chemistry study already. Biology is piss easy because I've done everything we're going over. Twice. And Earth Science I've never done before but it's actually more interesting than I thought it was going to be. Not got around to studying that yet, though. Maybe start when I get in tonight. Long day today, was in at 9am (like I am every morning) and was off for 2 hours 12-2 to get food and look up some stuff for my Biology group debate thing. Back in for an Earth Science lab which only lasted 1 1/2 of the supposed 3 hours. Normally a good thing, but not today when I have to hang around for a Exploration Society meeting at 6. G.U.E.S (Glasgow University Exploration Society) is, from what I gather, a group of students going away for several weeks over the summer to work on various conservation projects around the world. Not actually signed up yet, that's what I'm waiting today for. I am meeting someone at 5 though, so not too long a wait now. Yay. Plus I get to get dinner then. Yay. But anyway, assuming that lasts and hour, I'll leave Uni about 7 and get home about 8ish. After having left at about 7.25 this morning. Ugh.

What else?... Work. It's alright. Still standing, still just work, still money. WOO. Moving to the new store in February (I think I overheard the SGM - big boss of the store - saying it was the 18th but don't know). Working a bit more than I'd like at the moment because Rachel is off on paid leave *rolls eyes* and is loving it way too much. So working Monday and Friday afternoons ('cause that's really the only afternoons I'm off) and both Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully won't be so bad next week, but then I think the week after, my department boss, Dave, is off for a week/two weeks. Ah well. Think of the money =)

I apologise about the long, rantingness of this post. But I am bored.

Gunna look up some more stuff for that debate.

Love ya'll xxx

Hey guys, long time no postage. =P Well, for those of you that don't know, I'm now back being a lowly part-time working studenty thing. Have spent around £150 on books, of which i hope to get £65 back for selling my old books from my last course. *sob* I now have two lovely Biology books, two lovely Chemistry books, and one lovely Earth Science book. Those are my 3 courses for this year (I'm at Glasgow Uni now, btw). I also registered for something called "Employability" but have yet to enrol in that. Keep forgetting... plus I can't really be arsed with it. I'm sure that will come back to bite me in the ass. Ah well. I should really do that...

In other news, Mark and I are still together. Been over 3 years now. Gulp. Went to see Superbad at the cinema with some of his mates (one of whom is now my boss in work, but that's another matter), and got a lift in an old, once-in-two-separate-pieces-thanks-to-a-crash people-carrier. Lotta hyphons, yay. Anyway, point of that was, the back seats moved!! When we went up a hill, or sped up, or did anything the back seats sort of leant back as if we were going to fall out of the non-existent boot. Gulp again. Movie was ok though lol, although I was dead by the time I got home, had been up since back of 5, working 7-12, just enough time to eat/get changed then off to uni 2-4, then up to Caley to put up some posters attempting to sell my old books, then home for <2hours before leaving for the cinema, then getting home back of midnight. So I gave myself a long lie today and am going to the 5pm Biology lecture after my 2-5 Earth Science lab. Which I suppose I should be heading off for now. Urgh.

Will need to post again some time. Got 2-hour gaps Tuesday and Thursday and a nice 3-hour gap on Wednesdays so will probably keep y'all informed with how I'm coping/not coping with Uni life again.

Love & Hugs

Ok, that was scrubs (duh), now onto cinema...

PLEASE people with exams let me know when your last exam is so I can find a night everyone can go and see Pirates 3. Including, hopefully, Ems. But I REALLY need to know soon if she's going to make it. Was thinking maybe 1st/2nd June (Fri/Sat). I really miss everyone and would be a really great night.

Please, please let me know... comment, text, bebo, whatever you fancy.
Cheers m'dears!
