kitschbitch is sleeping

but can be found playing at flickr

er, so, yes, another year older. probably a year since I last blogged!!

23. gosh. as my brother said to me ‘you’re two years off being halfway to fifty’. great!! have had a fabulous day, however, having been to the zoo (yes, really) today and out for a disgustingly swanky and thoroughly scrumptious dinner last night. and just demolished a rather lovely bottle of champagne and getting quite squiffy. though I do seem to be extending this birthday thing for rather a long time in that two of my very best friends and I are having a joint birthday bash towards the end of november. ahem.

anyway, t’other half said did I know I hadn’t blogged in forever and was I going to rectify it any time soon? so, er, yeah. I suck. but hey ho. I’ve been very busy and having a fabulous time doing the real life thing. which hasn’t been at all bad.

in summary? life is great. am now a full employee at work, and well on my way to being a fully fledged meejawhore. even been in mediaweek. gosh.

am loving being back in london, and having pretty much everyone from both manchester and oxford now down here in london as well. the back has its moments, and is still going to be a very long road, but so must it be. the good thing is that it does seem to be getting there, slowly but surely. and now I’m going to get back to my glass of fizz…

so, in summary, chaos. finished finals. left oxford. moved to london. went to spain. came back from spain, started new job next day. four days into new job, get finals results. get 2:1. relief!! back still bit chaotic, hence need for quiet. still all very surreal. but all looking like it’s shaping up to be good. busy good. but very good nevertheless.

so, today I finished my finals. wow. VERY surreal. and SO SO fabulous. is very strange, is the end of 4 years of my degree, is the end of 19 years of education – and is finished. has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done, getting through finals with back pain and stress. at times it felt like the end was never going to come. but today it did. and boy does it feel good!

is a very very odd feeling that I don’t have to get up tomorrow morning and sit at my desk revising all day. that I can sleep. and that I can watch TV, see films, read books that aren’t academic, read magazines, see friends – just have some time that isn’t spent working. a very very odd feeling indeed. but in no way unpleasant – it just hasn’t really sunk in yet. off to brighton for a few days next week to spend some much needed time with the nearest and dearest, and for general fun and relaxation. hurrah. though shan’t be at a loose end for long: in just two short weeks I move down to london and after a short and much-needed holiday in spain with my mum, I start my brand new job on 5th july. a whole new life begins. and I cannot wait

was a day of big accomplishments really – I finished finals, he finished an album. not bad for an average friday in june…
