A general update in alphabetical order:
College
I am nearly finished my final year of college, I have 5 exams left (2 English, 2 ICT and 1 Extended English) and I am going to start revising for them today. I always leave revision to the last minute, I never do really bad, but if I revised more I could probably do better. The English exam will be easy in terms of I know it, but hard in terms of writing it all down in the given time. The ICT exam will be the complete opposite.
Diet / Health
It will be the end of my 4th week of dieting tomorrow. I gained a stone over 1 month and my clothes were starting to dig in and loosing a bit of weight is cheaper than buying a new wardrobe lol. First week I lost 4 pounds, second week I lost nothing, last week I lost 3 pounds and we will have to weight until I weight myself tomorrow to find out this week. I hope it is at least 2 pounds.
In terms of health, I have to go to the doctors and put a repeat prescription in for inhalers and hay fever drugs. I am not suffering from hayfever (runny eyes/nose and sneezes) this year, but I seem to be needing my inhaler more, so maybe it is just effecting me differently this year. I think I will go do that tomorrow.
Friends
Since me and my boyfriend broke up I have spent a lot more time with friends, going out drinking and such. It has cost me more money than usual, but it has been quite fun. On Tuesday (Gay Night) I went out and we ended up pole dancing, which was really fun. Except we were all rubbish and this guy was all “hey, this is how you do it”. I kissed a man, he had stubble so it was not much fun =(
On Friday, I went out to see my Friend’s band play, “The Chaps” and then went to a student bar called “Campus” it was really fun as they played S Club 7 - Reach For The Stars. The bad thing was that two guys decided to have a fight and as Guy 1 pushed Guy 2, Guy 2’s beer went all down my back and my friend’s back, so I was damp and beer smelling for the rest of the night CLASSY! I kissed a man, this one was lovely nicknamed “Qt Guy in Cardigan”, but my friend has a gut feeling that he has a girlfriend =(
Love Life
Well my love life is kinda mentioned in the second below, no one serious just bits of fun here and there. I still talk to my ex, but he is really confusing because if I say he has no feelings for me he says he does. But at other times he is all “I really really like this girl” and acts like a bit of a twat (untagging photos of us and deleting comments I put on his facebook etc) just little things, but it makes me think “if he did have feelings for me why would he act like this?”. Yes we are not together, but we can still be friends / civil.
I quite like this boy at college, but he has a girlfriend. Yes common occurrence, I like boys with girlfriends whether I know about them or not. I must have a sixth sense or something? Or maybe all the good ones are taken because they are good.
Money
I am currently saving up for a laptop, Sony Viao, which is currently selling for £457.59 new on Amazon. I am going to buy it when my £210 worth of backed up EMA comes through. I also want a laptop bag for it, so it doesn’t get scratched to death like my current one, I quite like
this and this and this and finally this
Work
Work is currently rubbish. I had a “return to work” meeting today, because I missed my shift on Tuesday and therefore I am get penalised for the fact that they put me in a day that I am not available, wrote them a note that they didn’t bother to read or act up. My absence is 3.32%, which is 0.32% above the maximum. So here is a angry dear Manager letter:
Dear Managers,
I am sorry that you cannot read an availability sheet or a note, I just assumed that you would have at least a C grade in GCSE English or the equivalent. I also really sorry for not coming into work to serve customers while I am throwing up, because I know how much Mr and Mrs X would love to be sick on while enjoying their shopping trip. Even more sorry am I for passing out 30 minutes before my shift due to an injection, which the last time I had it I reacted fine too. I would have been so much more use unconscious on the shop floor. And finally I regret deeply that I came into work for a 3 hour shift after getting an emergency doctors appointment because I was urinating blood and being sick from the pain, therefore to deal with the pain I was on industrial strength painkillers, which seemed to make me drowsy, pass out and throw up. That is obviously the state you want your employees to be in when tidying the store.
Thank you, Jane.
I am applying for a new job over the summer as a Civil Servant at my Dad’s place of work. because loads of people take Summer holidays and they need casual staff to cover that period. The pay is better and the management can’t be much worse. It would also look better on my CV as I want to be an accountant … civil servant work is closer to accounting than retail work.

I’m sorry to hear that you are not going to take back your guy. I personally wouldn’t be upset if my guy kissed another girl while we were broken up. But I guess every one is different. If he kissed a girl while we were together, that would be a different story. I would forgive him but I would be pretty mad. If he was to do it again though, that would probably be the end of it. Thankfully, I know my boyfriend would never have the guts to do that with someone while he was with me.
I think you misunderstood. He cheated on me while we were together:
We started going out October 2007 and then we had little arguments from about September 2008 til March 2009, some of which ended up with one of us saying “We are not going out anymore” but we always ended up back together later that day or the next morning, when we had calmed down. He cheated on me during this time in December 2008, he says that we were together at the time, but even if we had had one of our arguments I still do not think it is appropriate to kiss someone else within a few hours of breaking up with your girlfriend of a year and a half. Then the end March 2009 til the end of April 2009 we were on a break for a month, neither of us kissed anyone else, we then got back together for a month and that was when I found out he had cheated back in December 2008.
And while I could possibly forgive him for a kiss, I cannot forgive him for lying about it for 5 months. The amount of changes in that time that he could have told me, but he didn’t and I had to use below the belt methods to find out for myself. So we broke up more on the basis of lying than cheating.
