After three and a half months of looking, I finally have another job. After years of of being critical of them, it feels like a vaguely phyrric victory that the job is with the Royal Mail but WOO HOO nonetheless.

Besides, if anyone gloats I'm going to treat their mail like a suspicious package.

I'd respond to that but first I gotta go drink a giant bottle of Trois Pistoles while taking a shit and then give myself a drunken haircut

eh, it looks pretty much the same as the last time I got drunk and cut my own hair, if a bit shorter on the sides (I had a accident

)

Fair enough, I wish I had the balls to cut my own hair, as it is I'm happy to pay someone £9 every couple of months to make it look like this.

I forgot how great spring was! The air smells so sweet and the temperature is perfect!

Dear blog,

I am feeling rather depressed lately. Manageable, but I just feel like I'm not getting anything done. Ugh. Job searching is a grim business around these parts. It's the only thing I ever have to occupy my mind, though, and that seeps into my social life when I do get the chance to escape the whole scene.

There isn't a day that goes by where I don't regret being such a fuckup in school.

Aww man, condolences. One of mine died just before Halloween of a stroke while I was with him for the entire thing, so I know how that goes.
His name was Ezio so I said "Requiescat in pace."

I don't know how feasible this is for you at the moment, Patrick, but there are all kinds of part-time, evening, full-time, flexi-time etc courses for adults which you could look into. In a way there's more choice than for "standard-age" students because I guess adults know better what they want to do, and are more motivated to do it?

So far it seems like dropping out of uni for this year has been the best thing I ever did in terms of my education and just life in general. It's shown me that the traditional timeline for school isn't the only one, or even the best one.

All is going well. Jimmy, Lisa and I are, as you've probably read, moved into a new apartment. It's heaps rad and heaps big. I second Jimmy on the fuck Benny notion, that dude is a goddamn next level creeper. Get off my porch Benny you jerk.

New job is pretty good. Interesting enough and fairly easy. Looks like I'm going to enjoy working the night shift.

My wrist hurts from the last time I went to my best friend's ranch. We were taking down an old fence that was on it's last legs, and I went to knock one of the boards off by driving the heel of my palm into it. Well, I derped and drove my hand into it at the part where fingers meet palm instead. This caused my wrist to bend back way too far way too quickly, and it's been hella sore ever since. And I can't move it with a very good range of motion.

On the upside, yesterday I went to my old house and picked up my bike. I worked on it with my old roomie for a bit and we had a good time doing so. I love being mechanically inclined, otherwise I'd have hated every second of that AND I'd have probably fucked my bike up. But I fixed it mostly instead!

I got to hang out with people yesterday and go to the aquarium and it was awesome! And I got a stuffed animal that made the grumpy boyfriend feel better. And then we came back to my house and my friend transferred all 100 gigs of his music collection to my computer. YAY NEW MUSIC! I am in a really great mood today despite feeling kind of sick. This is awesome.

Is that picture pre- or post-"Real Housewife" makeover?

whenever i can't focus and feel really overwhelmed and paralyzed by work, what helps me the most is breaking down my tasks into as many small, separate tasks as i possibly can and then just doing each tiny thing one at a time, even if it's writing an essay one single painstaking sentence at a time (which is actually what i did for my final paper - i got 10,000 words in three days!). don't think about the enormity of your workload or the big picture, just focus on each little thing and take it exactly one thing at a time until you feel like you're utterly spent and you can't do any more. compared to entire tasks which might feel monstrous, each tiny thing will be relatively easy to complete and subsequently it's then easier to tell yourself "yeah, i guess i can do one more thing" and thus it's an effective way of keeping busy and productive.

There's a dinner at uni for people who were at the Minack last summer and I really want to go, but I can't justify spending £40 on train tickets when I'm not earning anything. The dinner is on May 6th and I haven't RSVPed yet so I really need to decide for definite in the next few days. I've tried coaches, trains, lifeshare.com, asking other people who are going (no answer on those last two yet).

If any of you guys happen to be driving from anywhere in the vicinity of Shropshire/Birmingham/similar to anywhere near Cambridge/London/similar on anything between the 4th and 6th May, or back on anything between the 7th and 9th, I'd be incredibly grateful if I could cadge a lift! In exchange for petrol money/cup cakes/similar, of course.

So I stopped an old man outside the library and commented that I liked his hat. I misspelled that as fat. I do not like your fat, old man, get your fat away from me.

Anyways, I said I liked his hat. He talked for the next fifteen minutes about how he used to be a boxer and ran eight miles a day, and his children don't care about him and his wife died, but he was pretty entertaining about it all! Then I said I had to go (because it was cold and I am in a skirt because I have pretty dumb ideas some days (most days)), and he said, and I quote, "Well, like they said in Ireland, merci beaucoup!"

It wasn't his mind going, it was just really adorable. This little old dude in a bowler was a serious charmer back in the day. A serious charmer who punched people in the face.
