  • Adjusting to reality

    i have just had one of the best weeks for a while. i am absolutely buzzing with excitement, energy and positivism. its all good. the reason. i have just been to this year's bjc (british juggling convention), working my arse off, getting little sleep and i even paid for it. doesnt sound like fun ey? well, it was. love is in the air. all the people there were so nice and friendly and everybody seemed to have a good time. it was great. and i didnt only have to work, i made loads of new friends, i even saw something of the convention (shows, band - which was excellent by the way) and on top of that i learned something (passing 8 clubs, some underarm throw, very effective massage techniques and how to quickly fold a t-shirt). it was simply great. unfortunately i now have to get back to reality. the 10 hour drive back helped a little bit, especially being fed halfway in a proper home, eating the civilised way (knife and fork and at a table).

    yesterday then really hit me as i had to go back to college. i already had an assessment today and friday is another one. funnily enough all the sleepless nights didnt bother me at all. i was active most of the day, admittedly tired, but not nearly as worn out as i was here lazy-arsing around most of the time. hopefully i can take some of that new-found spirit back into reality and make my life more fulfilling and fun. god, i had a bloody good time. its really difficult to explain to people what the whole convention was like. you really have to experience it to understand i guess.

    anyway, looks like now its back to normal: college, work and hm, well, same old same. one interesting thing that happened during my absence here: i got a new housemate, which i dont mind, but being consulted on it would have been nice. nevermind. only 8 weeks to go...

  • Finally Easter

    I am counting down the days towards Easter, cos it will be the first time in weeks i havent got anything to do. at least for one day.

    the last few weeks were filled with one assignment chasing the other and work. lots of it. this week for example feels like i have a full time job. yesterday was the shift from hell. we were totally under-staffed as two people fell sick and it was busier than expected. we worked our arses off. i have never been so shattered after a few hours of work. nevermind ey. it's all money. and today i had a really nice hot bath to sooth my aching muscles (courtesy of lush's glitter bombs with lavender or something, which now leave my whole body glitterfied). getting to that point though was quite an effort. we didnt have any hot water again, so i boiled the kettle and shipped water from the shower (with its own boiler, but in a different room) into the bath. it took forever, but it was so worth it.

    what else is new? one of my housemates left. she decided she didnt like her course anymore and went back home. pity, she was one of the nice ones. i really need to figure out somewhere else to live soon, otherwise i will be sleeping in my car i suppose, which is not that much of a problem, but i have no idea what to do with all my stuff. sometimes i feel just like throwing it all out and keeping only as much as i can carry or put in my car. no worldly possessions. hm...not gonna happen though. i like my stuff.

    next week is bjc (british juggling convention) and i am so looking forward to it. not only that i havent juggled for weeks (due to working every possible minute), but its gonna be a great week with hopefully lots of many nice people and quite possibly some lovely sunshine. makes me looking forward to the summer again. last week it was snowing again. how crap is that.i wanna run around in a t-shirt, without a jacket and open shoes. well, looks like i am still not acquainted with the northern english dress code, especially for girls when going out. i am wearing more when i am going to bed and i tend to sleep in my knickers if anything at all, so...newcastle girls are definitely not afraid of the cold. i keep going on about that, but it's just too fascinating.

    i'm sorry i couldnt go home over easter, (missing my mum's birthday and seeing everybody who will be going home for the usual breakfast meeting), but money money money...ah, you know how it is.

    happy easter, bunny power and so on...
