A day or so after I posted my first blog my lap top died! maybe it's a sign? anyway 2 weeks later I have finally got hold of a replacement lap top and am relieved to be back from the no internet wilderness. I have had to go without the internet for a few spells in the past..and every time I think to myself how awful it is that I depend on the internet for so much information and communication with friends and family. To some extent I think it's a shame we depend on technology so much for so many different things, perhaps life is becoming a bit too virtual.
I collected the first draft of my dissertation today from my tutor who has been marking it. He said it's really good but nonetheless there are lots of scribbles of things I could change...he even mentioned doing some statistical tests on the data...nooooooo!!
I went to stay with my oldest sister and her boyfriend for the night on friday. Her friend was also staying with her 2 and a half year old daughter Lucy. I haven't seen Lydia for at least a year and she has changed so much. She can easily hold a conversation with an adult and is the most adorable blonde haired toddler. We spent hours playing Tummy Ache on friday evening and for a good couple of hours I thought she was fantastic. But then we sat down to dinner....she needed a wee every 3 minutes and I realised how its not all rosy and fun. The next morning I was woken up at 8.20am! 8.20 on a saturday morning!! its not right to get up before 12 noon on a saturday!! it felt very bizzare, and was another argument for contraception.
I think my sister has pretty much moved in with her boyfriend but they haven't been together a year yet! but people tell me that things happen faster when you're older and you 'know what you want' sooner. He must love her if he's letting her put photos of her family up around his house!
My other middle sister is 25 and engaged to be married in May. She has been with her partner since she was 16, I think that makes her one of the luckiest people in the world. You can just tell how much they adore eachother when they are together. The wedding will be beautiful. It's happening in Greece, there are about 30 family members flying out in total and it's my first shot at being a bridemaid. I am so happy for her, but have a slight problem in that I will always compare my situation to hers, and if I know I don't love my boyfriend as much as she loves her fiance. This makes me wonder if I ever will? We've been together for a year and if im not head over heals now will I ever be? It doesn't help that he has the most unsociable job in the world and we are apart for so long. Its only his second phase of being away, there are probably at least 20 more to come in the future and I don't feel very positive about it at the moment. Oh well...time will tell. I was walking through town today and a big issue seller approached me and said 'Why so serious darlin'?' to which i kind of giggled and smiled embarassed. Then as I walked on by I heard him shout 'If your boyfriends giving you grief bin him'!! but I'm not sure it's wise to accept life guidance from a big issue seller.
