Well lately I have been putting a lot of work into catching up on my university work. I realise I've kind of screwed up first year by not attending lectures and as a result I've not done particularly well in the January exams and I'm struggling to do well in assignments and things as well which has obviously stressed me out a bit and I feel bad about myself for it. But I have put a considerable effort into catching up. I've caught up on all my biology lectures, all of the chemistry lectures that are currently online and although I haven't yet started on Forensics, I know I have ages until the exam for that, a whole two weeks where I will have already sat biology and chemistry and can just concentrate solely on forensics.

But as a consequence of putting all this work into keeping on top of work, I seem to have neglected my friends here. I miss the times when we all lived in 2.1 and we sat around all day doing nothing and watching Top Gear. But we've all got commitments now, we're all getting jobs and putting more effort into passing these exams and getting ourselves a ticket to second year, but for some reason I seem to have balanced work/friends particularly badly and I kinda feel like I've now got no best friends apart from Jamie, and I've still not got myself to a position where I can walk into an exam confident of passing. Not to mention the fact I've pissed off Jamie loads lately because I keep stressing out about all this - my studies, my friends, etc. I've felt like I can't do much right the last few weeks. I just keep getting things wrong.

I'm going to make more of an effort with my friends here, but I also don't want to screw up my studying and of course I don't want to spend less time with Jamie. It's got to be a balance. But right now it's a balance I seem to be getting wrong. To the people at Cooperage, upstairs, I miss you guys and I love you all to bits and I really don't want to be distanced from you as I miss the times when we were best mates just having a laugh without a care about where we were supposed to be or what we were supposed to be doing. I realise we all have places to be and things to do but I just want, you know, the laughs back. I'm sorry for not making more of an effort lately.

Bring on summer, months of just friends and laughs, hopefully. :)

I have recovered from my tonsillitis and have now given it to Jamie. Oops! I do feel kind of bad, I suppose I should  have stayed at home until I was completely over it, but alas, I cannot live without him for more than two days. It must be love..

Yesterday my Mum came up to Glasgow and we went to go and view another flat. That's like 15 flats I've seen now and we still haven't fully decided on one. Well we did decide on one, but then it was sold, but now the people who have put the offer in are messing around so it might be open to other (aka our) offers. So here's hoping. But the flat we saw was very nice, it overlooked a park which was a bonus considering it's in Glasgow. We also went a little walk to check the area was nice, which it was, and then went for a Subway.

Today's being slightly less exciting. I got up early with Jamie and drove him to work seeing as he's not feeling well and now I'm studying. I don't like studying. Well, I don't mind it when I have half an idea what I'm doing. But I'm tackling chemistry just now which is way over my head, I don't know where to start and everywhere I make an attempt to start just further confuses me. *Sigh* I shall persevere.

I have tonsillitis. I was feeling slightly sick on Saturday night through Sunday and then got a sore throat on Monday and then couldn't swallow by Wednesday. So I got my Dad to make a doctors appointment and I went home to get looked after (not that Jamie wasn't making a good job of looking after me!) So yes, Doctor said I have tonsillitis and gave me an antibiotic and told me to get a blood test done the next day (today). So I got my blood taken to test for glandular fever this morning and I should have the results back by Monday, but by Monday if it is just tonsillitis I will be better anyway. Stupid system.

So I'm feeling a little better today. Possibly just because I'm bored of being in bed with nothing to do, so I've fooled myself into thinking I'm better so I can get up out of my bed and do something. That something being terrorising my already-grumpy rabbit. But I'm going back to Glasgow tomorrow (Friday) after seeing Carluke friends. And I'm off to Angels & Airwaves at night which should be awesome considering I've been waiting for it for ages!
