A Curious Girl: Birthday dinner!

Hmm... Am I having mood swings or general angst?

Yesterday family came up for birthday celebrations! Yay! :) I was only expecting my parents and Grandma and Jim, but my brother and sister (and respective partners) came too. Aaaw. I was glad to see them, I sort of wish I'd known they were coming then I would have looked forward to it even more! Matthew couldn't come for the meal because he was away for his RAF medical (I missed him :( ), when he did come back he was faced with a room full of people. Aaaw, poor him :) I felt nervous enough when I met his parents. Actually he knew that there would be four extra people, because Dad called him and told him. Heh. Sneaky git that my father is :)

I got some looovely presents too, a chocolate fondue set, a cuddly Piglet, a cuddly Tigger and Tigger mug (both my siblings seemed to be in a Winnie-the-Pooh mood!), Heather Nova's album 'Siren' (so I no longer feel guilty about having it recorded on my computer *blush*, tis a great album), Ice Age on DVD (I love that film, it's so cuuuuuute!!) and Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody. Heh. Not to mention the beautiful patchwork quilt Grandma made me; I can't stop gawping at it, it's gorgeous. Must take a picture of it so I can show you :)

Hmm, actual birthday tomorrow... I'm not sure how it'll go, hopefully it should be fun, if busy! It's Hitchhiker's Guide video night, which should be good.

And in other news... Spent the weekend without Matthew until Sunday night, so I went to CU on Saturday even though I am still dubious, plus I thought maybe I could spend the evening hanging out with the nice Christian people I sort of know. Unfortunately it must have been cliquefest or something because afterwards, everyone seemed to be going off to something exclusive, like a social for the musicians or a prayer quad meeting or something. *sigh*. So I ended up going back to my corridor and attempting to socialise, but the girls were going on about Blue (as in the boyband) and frankly it was like they were talking a foreign language :(

*sigh* I've just not been feeling too happy recently, I don't feel like I belong anywhere (except for maybe Dougsoc :) ) and whilst I like this degree, I wish there was a little less of it. I don't want to switch degrees, not even something mild like switching to Biology or Chemistry, but I'm really sick of so many lectures and practicals and not really having enough to time to get my brain around it all. I feel low and a bit of a mess really. Aargh, I'm sorry I keep coming here and whinging about how I'm not happy about this and that. I miss being bouncy and cheerful and settled, I miss my friends and I miss knowing how I fit in. *sigh* But... I think I'm going to stay at the church we went to last week, they seem very welcoming, and I'll keep praying I guess.

All right, I'm sorry if I just depressed anyone (believe me, I've been depressing Matthew the most, pity the poor boy). *smile* I do have my birthday to look forward to, even if I do have about five hours of lectures/practicals (that's the same as one week in the life of a history student, makes me wonder how they dare call it work ;) ), and though it seems dreadfully unfair that this will be my last teenage year (*wails* :) can I have an extension please?) I'll have a go at making the most of it.

Anyway, have a nice day people :)
