Return from a different kind of wilderness

I haven't posted in a long while and although I often find myself killing time on the internet I haven't felt llike there has been much to say. Perhaps I have wasted all of my insightful thoughts on the completion of my dissertation (which is almost complete and due in in 2 days) and I didn't want to write about a whole load of nothing. At the moment it's 3.49AM and the reason I'm still awake is that I'm waiting for my boyfriend to phone from Australia. The time difference is 10 hours but still...I have been very unimpressed by his lack of contact recently. Luckily he completely surprised me with some presents from Hawaii and Pago Pago for Valentines day, I'm amazed he was organised enough to send them over on time...he sent them to a friend of mine who then hid them in my room whilst I was out one afternoon. bless.
I've just returned from a weekend at home for my mums birthday, it was great to see everyone. I'm not sure I'll be loving home quite so much when I move back next year, I expect the novelty to wear off quite quickly. Still, maybe I'll be enlightened to more exciting plans and will find myself in other parts of the world! Only I can make it happen - but I won't! Still stalling on applying for any jobs... 'too much work to do' at the moment. hmm.
