Good things
Jan. 19th, 2005 10:18 amBecause I think I am occasionally mopey here, I figured I'd write my list of good things I have in my life today:
I know they are all little things, but it's enough.
- I had a really nice night out last night with the Institute of Archaeology people. I periodically find Oxford sitting in my mind as a place where I expect to be overworked and slightly lonely. It is therefore a Good Thing to remember that there are people I actually quite like here.
- I have an extension on my essay until tomorrow, which takes some of the stress away.
- I get a
pierot today. This is an especially pathetic thing to be this bouncy about, but I've not seen him since Sunday, which is rather a long time for me. - I am currently wearing the very nice new top that
melsner sent me for Christmas. He is a very generous boy. - My bonsai tree is still alive after nearly a month, and still has green leaves and is looking shiny. This is a definite achievement for me. I'm keeping a living thing going!
ksirafai and I are planning theatre trips and it looks like King Lear is probably going to happen in the last weekend of January, as I can't afford the Northern Regional.- My university room is beginning to look quite homely - I've got pictures and a clock that works, and a zebra jez gave me who sits on my windowsil and lets me talk at him occasionally.
- I still like my hair in the 'long and floppy with fringe' style I had it cut into a while ago.
- I've got some great friends.
wildrogue gets a special mention for sending me text messages in which she and I can both bitch about our university work. - The sun is shining today
I know they are all little things, but it's enough.
