I haven't written on here for ages. I have been busy this week, going to lectures, doing work, and on Thursday I went to see the careers advisor. He suggested that I use a test he recommended, that matches your skills and what you like, up with suitable careers. I tried it out last night. Apparently I am well matched to a career in advertising, which I suppose I can see myself doing. But how do you get into it? It's probably very competitive.

Apart from that my life is pretty much the same. I am better from my urine infection last week. I am going to drink loads of cranberry juice from now on to make sure I don't get it again. I also bought two books, Twilight and Sherlock Holmes. I have started reading both, they seem interesting.

I am going out with Yianni in half an hour. I have been hanging around for the last hour not doing much. Just watched the Australian Open this morning.

I haven't been up to much in the last few days. I have got better from the urine infection by taking my antibioctics. I have been feeling down recently. Mum thinks it's to do with me taking the antibiotics. I just hope I feel happier soon.

I feel so ill today. Yesterday I went to uni but had to come home before I even went into the lecture as I had a pain. The journey home was not great, I felt so uncomfortable and I met some people I know but all I wanted was to be on my own. In the evening I went to see the nurse, she diagnosed me as having a urine infection and put me on antibiotics. The strange thing is, mum was diagnosed with a urine infection as well and went to the doctors yesterday morning for exactly the same thing.

Taking the antibiotics helped a little and I really thought I could go into uni today. In the middle of the night, though, I was awake, in pain and really uncomfortable. I had to take my next dose of antibiotics then, even though I wasn't due them until the morning. That was my last dosage. I couldn't sleep at all.

This morning I woke up and took a painkiller for my soreness. I thought I would be able to make my lecture and even texted Sally telling her I would be well enough and asking her for a lift. But at half 9, I started feeling bad again. I had to text Sally saying that I was worse and couldn't come in. For a bit I felt like I was being tortured then I felt better then I felt worse. It's so uncomfortable and painful. I can't sit down, let alone sit through a lecture.

I feel bad about the work I missed but there is nothing I can do. I just hope I get better soon and this is making me feel so bad. I'm sleep deprived as well which makes it worse.

I couldnt sleep much last night as I was excited about seeing Yianni today. That is very pathetic isn't it? I'm like a child at Christmas when he comes back. I am meeting him at 1pm, the usual time. His car is fixed now so we will probably go into town, grab a bit of lunch (sandwiches from Tesco) and hang out. Maybe play on the XBox later.

Am annoyed about all the housework I have to do, I feel like Cinderella. Yesterday it seemed endless. Mum can't do much due to her Chemo and Dad is just lazy. He is in bed now as he "feels a bit rough". If it was up to him, he would stay in bed all the time. I can't believe he would just lie there and let me do all the work.

I am gasping for a cup of tea now. But I still have to clean the table before I can have one. Afterwards I'm going to reward myself with one and do my nails :-).

Had a very productive day today. I went to the gym, worked a bit on my dissertation, read a bit for uni, did the washing, sorted out the washing, worked a bit on an essay I have to write, hoovered, cooked a meal from scratch, washed my hair, straightened it, cleaned the table and ordered 2 books I need. Now my limbs are aching from the gym.

I am excited though because I am going to see Yiannis tomorrow :-).

There was more snow today. It made getting to the gym quite hard. But I did succeed in getting there and back. I also made a snowman which is sitting outside looking pathetic. I have put an old scarf round its neck but unfortunately had no carrots for its nose. I really hope it doesn't snow anymore though. I am sick of snow

I have come online to talk to Yiannis but I'm guessing he is at the gym tonight. He has started going in the new year, to get fit. I was worried that if he did get fit he wouldn't be interested in me anymore but he told me that would never happen. It's a bit of a stupid thing to worry about really.

I am trying to get ahead with my uni work. Am plodding through Elizabeth Bowen's "The Last September" but it's so boring. The characters are all so annoying.

I went back to uni today! It seems like weeks ago I was last there. Sally picked me up at 1 (even though she came at 12.45pm). The lecture was Women and Culture, it was quite interesting. I might actually find a unit I like. I am quite happy to be back at uni now, I missed it really. I have 2 essays due in on the 1st March though, grrrrr.

Have Colonial and Postcolonial Africa lecture tomorrow at 12pm. I don't know what it will be like.

I attempted to get to the British Library yesterday but couldn't get in because the trains were so bad. So I went to Bedford instead and went shopping. I bought a calendar for Mum with black and white photos of London and a jumper for me. The jumper is very warm and cosy but even though it is my size, its really big on me. The sleeves are massive. I showed Yianni on webcam and he thought I could start a trend. I'm not sure.

Today I went to BodyPump to get some exercise as I felt fat. I've been trying to eat healthier over the last week because I feel so big. I want to tone up. Yianni has been to the gym today and is in pain poor thing.

I really should write these blogs earlier in the day. Today was such a boring day, I had to stay inside for most of it due to the snow. I was going to go to the British Library today to research my dissertation but the trains were crazy so I decided not to. I just did a bit of work on my dissertation, played wow and went for a walk. I finished one of my uni books. I am getting through them at a fast pace, better than last year.

I might try to go to the British Library tomorrow if the trains are better. I really don't want to stay in another day.

I slept badly last night so had a headache all day. It sucks. Another normal day. I went to my dance class this morning but won't be able to go for a few weeks as my lecture was moved to that time. After that I just worked on my dissertation, read and drew manga. I also started taking down the Christmas decorations. There is light snow outside but apparently it's worse elsewhere.

Mum is starting her chemo tomorrow. I am going with her. She is a little bit nervous but knows she has to do it. I hope she will be ok.

I just want to write a quick post because it is quite late. I didn't do much today. I did some work on my dissertation, read loads and did some drawing. I tried to book some shifts for work but they had none until Wednesday. I went to Box of Delights to look at their sale but they had barely any sale at all. Very misleading! Some guy came to the door to get us to donate to the Red Cross, his name was Yiannis (spelt J-a-n-u-z) so mum donated just for this reason lol. That is it, pretty much.

I had a good day yesterday with Yianni. The only problem was that he was sick with a sore throat and I felt tired and snappy. I don't know why I was tired. I even shouted at him at one point. Apart from that we had fun. I had to go by train to meet him and saw someone I used to know. I am so tired now, I can't finish this blog :-(

Just a quick post as I want to get ready to go out. We went for a meal yesterday. It was quite good except I was very tired as I went to bed late on Thursday night, and also I was sick from my period. I was also very worried about my driving test on Thursday. I came home, stressed, and I spent a lot of time in tears because I was so nervous about Thursday. I realised, late last night, that I couldn't do a test if I was like that 6 days before the test because I would be a nervous wreck by the time I actually took the test.

This morning I got up, rang my instructor and left her a message telling her I was thinking about cancelling. She rang me back about 20 minutes ago and said that it was fine and to to come back to driving when I felt ready. So I cancelled it. I feel disappointed as I am desperate to get my license but sometimes these things are never meant to be. I have cried too and ruined my makeup but I am relieved that I do not have to face that test.

Yesterday morning was funny as I got up at 9am, went downstairs and drew back the curtains and there was Yiannis with the AA man, looking at his car! I came to the door in my dressing gown and spoke to him for a short time. He managed to get his car back to his gran's but he has not been able to get it fixed yet. I am going by train to meet him today.

First day of a new year today, 2010. The last day of 2009 was a day and a half. Yiannis came to pick me up at 1pm. I really wasn't feeling well by this point, I was shaky and felt weak. We got into his car and it didn't start! So we had to go to Luton by train and I really didn't feel good. We ate at Nandos and I bought a diary and then we came back to my house.

Yiannis rang the AA and we waited. My mum, bless her, kept trying to feel Yiannis mince pies and coke. Somebody came (they weren't from the AA but he was affiliated with them) around half 7. There was nothing that could be done that night so he decided to leave his car outside my house until this morning. After Mary arrived (she came to spend new year with us), Mum drove Yiannis and I to his Gran's house. She stayed for a cup of tea and then went back home. I stayed to celebrate new year with Yiannis and his Gran.

We played Tekken and Fable for a bit on his Xbox until I got hungry, so Yiannis warmed up a pizza. Then it was midnight so we watched the chimes from Big Ben. I rang Dad up to collect me but it took him until 1am to arrive.

I still feel ill, urgh.
