Libellum Madaloonus

Ok, so there was going to be a point to this post, I feel like I have something to say, just without any idea as to what it is.
Been feeling a lot like this lately, I think it's time to write a few lists, as I'm starting to build up too much in my brain again-bad move!

List I: University
-revise for latin test and exam
-revise for latin lit. exam
-write my history expose
-write my lit expose
-finish copying up lit. notes

List II: Christmas holiday work
-Do law applications
-Apply to some other companies: events/communications

List III: Christmas presents and cards
-buy some bloody xmas cards and post them ASAP-maybe write on the plane
-christmas presents for family and french family and best friends

List IV: Italia
-buy an actual membership to Easystanza
-look into flights from Lyon to Bologna to look around
-contact Chris Jenkins about helping me out in January

List V: Parents
-tell my parents I have a boyfriend

Order: University work = priority
Christmas cards & presents = 2nd in line
Italy = 3rd in line
Christmas work and parents = 4th in line

Call me immature, but this had me giggling hysterically

and then this just rang rather true!

Heel toe, heel toe,
Left foot, right foot.
Mind is racing.
Heel toe, heel toe.
Thinking of you,
Absurdity.
Heel toe, heel toe.
That’s what it is.
Wind rushing past.
Heel toe, heel toe.
Autumn leaves crunch,
Smell of chestnuts,
Heel toe. Heel toe.
Clearing my head
This walking helps,
Heel toe, heel toe.
We can’t do this
But what is this?
Heel toe, heel toe.
I felt nothing
We never were
Heel toe, heel toe.
But it’s all changed,
Mind is racing.
Heel toe, heel toe.
What did you do,
You’re turning me
Heel heel, toe toe
Insanity.
It just won’t do.
Toe heel, heel toe.
I’m going to
CRASH.

Just a bit of food porn to start off the day :)

Today was a bit of an adventure. Tried very hard, and in vain, to maintain that calm aura i'd achieved through my trip to the Sanctuary spa last night at work today. Work wasn't actually stressful at all: Lucy had me reading out registration forms to her and we sent out confirmation emails to all the customers coming to the golf tournament. That took up most of today. But then I left work at 5, which meant I of course hit the car park that is the M25 on a Friday afternoon. Was very tempted to turn off the motorway and try and work out the Staines town system...but I stayed. Stupid mistake. It was hot, so I had my windows rolled down and the chili peppers blaring out, and I was dancing around in my car as always ( this usually makes me happy and several people laugh-so I feel I do the world a favour by looking like a fool) anyway, some Turkish looking guys smile/laughed just as i was belting out CARBRON! CARBRON! at the top of my voice-most probably out of tune, and I realised they were laughing and laughed in that "Oh-shit-how-embarrassing" way you can only do when there's no escape. But then they started trying to talk to me, and at first I ignored them, but it was quite funny, every 20 metres our two lanes would meet and they'd try and get my attention, and then they were trying to get my number, and i was like-i don't give out my number, and they asked my name and i lied...why i picked "clare" though is anyone's guess-i'm sure i could have thought of something more adventurous! pfft.
Anyway, I then realised this was stupid and tried to get away, and got quite far in front, but they caught up with me, and the long and short of it is, they followed me off the motorway, all the way from chertsey into woking, where i REALLY started to panic, cos i didnt want to take them anywhere near my house, and I couldn't escape them in rush hour, so i ended up phoning charles and going-HELP! at which point they drove away from me. Maybe because they saw I was on the phone. I'm not sure.

Unfortunately this was not the end of my evening. After going home I had to go to the postoffice to pick up mum's recorded delivery but there was nowhere to park and i ended up driving round and round and parking illegally. THEN i had to run to Morissons to pick up Paella rice and get petrol, but morissons didnt HAVE paella rice! so i had to drive to sainsbury's, and of course got stuck in TWO sets of road works STILL in rushour. couldn't find what i wanted for AGES in sainsburys, and when i've finally finished there and got my petrol, i come out and see my ex boyfriend cycling home and nearly crash into him, thus stalling my car-embarrassment! thankfully i don't think he saw it was me. However, I then passed him later at some traffic lights and purposely let him go-just in case he thought i was trying to kill him. and he smiled at me-bit of a first for a guy who declared he hated me when i last declared my love for him (long story, was not journal writing at the time). So I was in a real state by the time I got home, and needed a LONG drink.

euch.

All my thoughts over the summer have been building up to that point where I start scribbling manic lists everywhere to try and organise my thoughts, and then feel confused by the amount of lists I have, and wonder where I wrote them all.
Then I suddenly remembered I have a journal.

This summer's been pretty bizarre-mostly due to the ridiculous length of it. I'd always dreamt of long summers-but 4 months seriously is...LONG. There have been quite a few high points though!

( summary of italia )

( work work work )

So these have been the major events of my summer. There was also the two week holiday with the family and family friends which was wonderfully relaxing and a good wine drinking, sunbathing, reading experience. And finally there was the house hunt. Which we panicked over for months.

5 friends, 1 house, central london-it would never happen. So we thought. We found a flat down the road from sadlers wells, walking distance to uni, nice interior, ugly exterior, great on bus routes and not bad for tubes. Seriously could not complain-even get a double bed! So I've already moved a few things in, and doing more of that on 14th before I got to Portugal. This was one of the happiest parts of my summer actually; knowing that I will not only have somewhere to live, but it's not a million miles away either! (ie. wood green)

( panic stations! )


It's amazing how relieving it can be just writing a few things down. Obviously while I've been writing this post, I've made a list of other things I have to do in the next week, but it's inevitable! At least I've saved myself from the grasps of facebook for a few hours-that site is evil and should die in so many ways!

That's all for now, no doubt I'll be back again in a year...

whoo! so exams are over and i feel i can once more update my journal.
so quick low down on how i felt exams went? could have been a lot worse! didn't feel i revised NEARLY enough, although i was under house arrest for a while. only two were fairly catastrophic (one cos it made no sense, but everyone else found it that way too)(the other cos i ran out of time...but i wasnt the only one!) but yeh, in general i don't THINK i have failed! i do have my french AEA on wednesday though, which will be a fun three hours :| ...NOT!

but what have i done aside from exams? not much, i have seen toby quite a bit for some light relief really, cos he cheers me up so much, and i dont believe it's possible only to revise. if i did i would have been distracted TWICE as much by the pc and even...dare i say it...THE TV! *gasp*
last week i saw him every day, and he even taught me how to ride his bmx! this sounds silly, but i find that riding a bike which a 5 yr old would be too big for, VERY difficult. and the balance thing and me...sooo rubbish! thus i was very happy when i finally made it up and down a road! yey! slowly...and with my bum in the air-i mean, seriously, who would CHOOSE to ride a bike where you are forced to stand up, sticking your arse into the air?

friday was a good day though. after my final exam toby came over, then i went shopping with friends, then out for dinner with my mum to celebrate-YEY! then yesterday mum and i went to kingston and did MAD shopping for teachers' presents and shizzle, getting up at 7am so we could beat the rush. then went and did the waitrose shopping after a quick lunch, and THEN i had to get ready for Anni's 18th. By this point i was pretty shattered...
friday id been up since 6.15am, had a BUSY ASSED DAY and watched pleasantville til midnight, and talked to toby til 1. THEN saturday was 7am start, BUSY ASSED DAY, and i had to drive through mad traffic *groan* and go to this girl's party. now dont get me wrong, i was happy to have been invited, but we aren't close friends, and beth and fran had backed out on me, and i was driving, so it wasnt going to be great.
toby dressed PROPER cowboy, and i gotta say, he actually looked damn good! im not just saying that as his girlfriend, im pretty sure anyone would have thought so! and i dressed as an indian. lipstick lines on the cheeks all the way!
we left a bit early cos it was awkward, and well...badly organised...it was in a marquee owned by the fairmile, and
1) had been double booked with another party, which had louder music in the next marquee, and half the people there knew the people at anni's
2) the drinks were cheaper inside the fairmile pub place than in the marquee, so half the people were across the road
3) there was a bucking bronco outside the marquee, so barely anyone stayed inside!
so it was a bit spaced out to say the least!

toby and i therefore left about 10.45 and went for a drive around, with rave music before heading back to his. it was really nice, and we had a cup of tea and watched the rest of shanghai noon with his parents before i headed home to bed :) probably the best bit of the evening!

hmm. today my parents woke me up at 9.15:| and we went to camberley where i found some bargains at tesco. yeyness. except i need white bikini bottoms.

damn.

Was MEANT to go to wimbledon tomorrow, but i'm going to have to call it off. theres heavy rain warnings, and they pull the covers on at the slightest spot of rain there. real shame that. well there's always next year!

but before i go..DR WHO! here come the drums here come the drums....

 So now less than a month til exams start. tried cooling things off with toby, and just seeing him with friends. totally not working. he's so amazingly paranoid about stew. and has no trust in me. despite me being really truthful, not contacting the boy, and showing toby that i care about him. nothing is good enough for him. and he's so clingy it's getting too much for me. Last night for instance, we argued, and I said I just wanted to stop speaking for a while, and didn't want to talk to him for  the evening turning off my phone. I'd texted him before though, saying he better not phone my homeline, and have told him many times before not to phone me at home-as he always hangs up if anyone but me answers, which pisses off my parents. so what does he do? phones me at home. so i yell at him cos i just can't seem to get away, and tell him to piss off-i'm really quite irate at this point. and then he phones back, and i just can't take it anymore and i scream at him, and he finally hangs up.
He's all apologetic and stuff now, but i'm just getting bored of it all. He seriously is the sweetest boy i've met, but i can't cope with his clingy way. he's very dependent, and, if i had more time that might be ok for a while, but things are hectic and i have exams and a future to think of, i don't have time for it. I want to be with him, but i don't want to be looking after him. i'm not  his mother. i do like his mom tho. his family's really ace. best family i've met for a while :)

anyway, yeh. me just getting overwhelmed by this. need a break.

umm finally finished my dratted mocks. that was a fun half term i tell you-boring boring boring. didn't go out, saw one person during the entire week, didn't even revise enough or sleep enough-check the phone bills. then a week of nasty exams.
oh and an interview at UCL. great shakes.
so this week it's been the results. C in my french-yes i flunked the oral with a D and then got an A in my lit. but still added to my AS i got an A so changing my oral topic and i should be ok!
Economics I thought I'd flunked with an E or something, but surprised myself with a B...I got 48/60 on one paper which made me smile hysterically, but not laugh.
Latin has taken a crazily long time to mark considering the grand total of ONE paper they had to mark! So I haven't actually got a grade yet. But all the bits I thought I did well on I did badly on, and the bad bits went well. I hate that subject sometimes! I reckon I got like a C or something if I'm lucky. Maybe a D...Nothing too hot.

UCL told me I'd hear from them in about 2 or 3 weeks but they just gave me an offer of ABB with an A in french. They clearly want me quite badly ;)
Durham are slow arses.

In other news, I have Semi Finals of Youth Speaks tonight. nervous a bit. but it's not highly pressurised or publicised so it's not that important. I just don't like standing up and speaking in front of people. surprising really seeing as i'm known in my year as the one who enjoys public speaking. actually it really amuses me...this girl in the year below even said at one point: "YOU DON'T KNOW WHO MADDY IS?! SHE'S ONLY THE BEST DEBATER IN THE SCHOOL!" totally not. but you know...i like this reputation. i won't knock it! the weather is so frickin weird today. i must remember to put the picture of my garden on here tonight. i took it this morning and its really dramatic as it's all grey and dark and the tree looks very stark, but then the sun is shining too. bizarre.

Things with parents a bit sticky. they got all cross cos i went and visited my friend toby and didn't tell them on friday. they took the car away. not a major problem. less money i have to spend on petrol and i get lifts everywhere again. but still. less freedom. more exercise.

i would update more but i can't see the computer screen anymore due to the intense sunlight coming through the window. The sensible thing to do would be to close the blind, but i like the warmth on my back and I'm a bit lazy anyway.

THERE! I AHVE UPDATED! A FULL POST! GET IN THERE.

please yell if you are paying attention.

after john told me off for not updating in too long a time-he even quoted the date of my last update-if i didn't know better i'd say he was stalking me-so let's go from...friday.

Friday i went to see the blue man group up in london with alex, after a most filling meal with heather and alex at my old dutch. pancakes galore. the blue man group performance was something i can't really describe sufficiently in words. my enthusiasm isn't enough to express the experience. However I will explain what it is they do:

they are artists of mime, comedy, paint, color, light. they use plumbing pipes for music, they interact with the audience, creat a feeling of togetherness, communicate without talking and generally bring you into a world of amazement and life. a must see for anyone with some spare cash.


Alex then took me to a fun wine bar somewhere near covent garden. my sense of direction is appalling when im out with alex. i always forget where we've gone. but we discussed life and the universe before i went home. much fun.

Saturday was oh soooo dull apart from my evening spent babysitting amanda's daughter and daughters friend at auntie karin's house. never babysat before. that night i had to baby sit two belgian 6 year olds, one of whom didn't speak english, bath and bed them. then they asked me to read them a bed time story. fair enough. but the story was swan lake. in english. so i had to translate everything i read into french. easy you say? try translating words like "cross bow" into french. i stuck with arc-a-fleche.

got back late from that (was also my first experience driving on motorway style roads-much fun!!) then got up at 6am for my military parade up in london. Commemorating the formation of the Air Training Corps, each year a different region parades in london, and cadets from all over LASER (London and South East Region) came into london, and paraded from Lincoln Inn Fields down Aldwych to St. Clement Danes' Church - official RAF church-for a big service. fun but very very tiring.then i saw my friend and came home. and crashed.

Monday i had one lesson and finished school at 10am.

Tuesday i went BACK to london for my latin conference which was surprisingly interesting. mrs B, myself and the three lower 6th girls met with pippa for lunch and had a good indian. that was fun. then after the conference i met up with monsieur hillage, who had woken up obscenely late and demanded food. so 3 hours after my large indian meal i ate a whole pizza. then this hill guy says we have to drink! so we march off to the world's cutest american diner-ed's-off leicester sq there abouts and drink-milkshake. lots of it. i have baileys and oreo cookie milkshake. 2 pints. john has a rum, chocolate and oreo cookies one. all very rich. i felt very very sick.



then we go off to south ken. not kent. and enter l'institut francais for a free movie-woop! we watched this amazing luc besson film "Angel-A" and i was blown away. i was in tears too and i recommend this also.

wednesday was fun too. i went to morrissons with toby. this is not like going to waitrose with tom scott. in case cassie, beth or fran read this.



today we had snow. sixth form got let out early. this was good. that is it. i can't write anymore! im all writ out :P

or butts.

shooting butts that it. for today was wing shoot.

but before that happened we had saturday night. Saturday night begun with me mounting the curb in toby's road. then waiting for eternity while jon finished getting ready, followed by ordering the most complex order ever at pizza hut, impressing the blockbuster dude by renting 4 of his all time favourite films and then renting a super cheese one which he laughed at (we all did....it had a boxers wearing, accordian playing, cowboy hatted american on the back cover!), confusing the pizza guy more, and driving back to mine a little more safely.

The night continued with fran and leyla turning up late, the cheesy teen movie getting picked as the one to watch, toby nearly falling asleep, fran demanding lots of water, jon thinking the screen had turned blue, beth assuring him he was just sitting at the wrong angle, us all squeezing onto the straight of the sofa so we were all at a good angle (thats 6 of us on the straight) me obviously holding toby's hand during the butterfly effect...oh yeah we finished the first film and moved onto my own collection from upstairs...me feeling wrong for doing so, everyone leaving about 11.30, me finally getting some kip at 1am and then getting woken at 3.17 by wind. oh then again at 7 by my alarm.

yes today i went shooting and it was disastrous. well to begin with it was just cold. numb hands, stiff safety catch, shaking maddy, crap grouping. however i had no stoppages all day. i also got picked to do timekeeping and swizzle the targets during snap practices which was fun-especially as i got handed this box the size of a brick with one big button above the letter "B". Which clearly didn't mean bomb as i'd always assumed...but butts. anyway this kept me amused most of the day.

disastrous, why? well lim had that infamous picture of me and walker and just happened to show everyone on his ipod. which made me upset. then andy says he doesn't want to be friends with me anymore because i questioned something he told me. it was a secret so obviously not about to write it down here, but i was just questioning it, and he lost it-said that i didn't trust him and he couldn't trust me and therefore we couldn't be friends so "Fuck you" in his words. this by the way comes from ANOTHER year 11. a good lesson is to stay away from 15/16 yr old boys. he was just a friend...seriously. but we've been friends since 2005 and i thought it would take more than that to end a friendship. apparently not! this was all said over msn though.

it's mildly irritating, but i think i'll live somehow. his loss. friends who are willing to throw friendship away just like that aren't worth having in the first place.

that's all for now.

more to come.

xxxx

today i woke up at 6.15. i didn't sleep well. again. then i dosed til 8.30. i got up, came downstairs, poured some orange juice and thought i'd have a good mug of cappucino. put the espresso in the espresso maker like this one:



I put it on the hob to boil, and started heating the milk so i could froth it, and turned on ferne and reggie on radio1. the milk finished, i then boiled the kettle so that i could pour steam into the now empty plastic milk bottle. i did this so that it would squish more effectively for recycling. and it's fun. finished this and checked on the espresso, thinking it was taking a while. still nothing. so i put the milk back into the microwave, as it was cooling, then started..and finished frothing it. the espresso was now steaming. i thought- "Ah! It's finaly coming through!" nope. not a drop. hmm...why wasn't this working?! hold on...did i put water in it? HOLY MOSES IT'S BURNING! (at this point i'd like to remind you my nose is blocked and i can thus smell nada apart from the lavender in my tissues)

tried to pick it up by the handle which was feeling as if it was melting, so took out the oven gloves... (now do you say Oven or Uven, because i always pronounce it Oven, using the O from Off, but most people seem to say Uven as in Uxbridge..weird as fuck) and took it to the sink where i sprayed cold water wherever i could and let it hiss standing by the sink. i then realised i'd also burnt the oven gloves. damn. i carried on hosing down the espresso machine until i could touch it and unscrewed it to see the damage. nothing was too pitchy black, and i thought this was good, until i realised that the "third part" as in the section where the coffee is placed, was now stuck to the top half of the machine. If you're entirely lost, this is what i mean:




Because the filter funnel, as they call it in the picture, had glued itself to the top section when the rubber bung from the top section melted, and began to burn...by this point even i could smell the rubber.

Ah. Shit.

so what's the best way to remove it? Well obviously not by tugging it off. that would be ridiculous! (I really didn't do that!) I boiled up the kettle again, and poured boiling water over it-clever, no?! it then came off quite nicely and i had three, decent looking espresso parts once more. and no espresso. so i then made a frothy hot chocolate for myself *sigh*

unfortunately, i fear it is the end of the line for that espresso maker. i think the rubber's a bit buggered to be frank (baaah...) and we'd only had it a few months. ahhh!!!

That was my morning adventure anyway!

Meeting someone like you...

So 3 days into 2007 I get my rejection letter from Cambridge. Not really that surprised. A little upset at first, after all the hype and work I put into it, but that second interview was a bit shit! Now I know the pressure's off a bit though, I mean, I still want great grades, but knowing I won't be expected to work 24/7 even during holidays makes me feel a lot better. The people I know there at the moment are really struggling. I want to enjoy university, not stress out all the time.

So also gone back to school-joyous occasion that it was. Now having to suffer retakes, mocks, normal stresses and organise this trip to Dublin as well as Fran and my's birthday party. Nightmare!!! i tell you!

Cadets going well I suppose, we had another NCO day which was just a lot of organisation, talk, gossip and admin. It was good though, and now, as "shooting NCO" I'm trying to plan cool stuff. If I ever get there. Gonna force mum to let me go on thursday, cos I was banned last night "revise for your retakes maddy!" yada yada yada.
It doesn't matter anyway, I'm leaving the 2nd April. WAHH! It's weird as, like the end of an era.

I had some random stuff I was going to write down as well. But I can't remember it. What I need is a thought transcriber with a USB connection, so I can plug in my USB stick to my head, and copy it to my computer where it can go straight onto my journal. But then again, I'd probably have about 10 posts a week, which is quite excessive!

My arms are beginning to ache a bit now. I should probably go now do something practical. hmph.

Im leaving these urls here cos i can't be bothered to save them on word. Just marquee ideas. personally i like the indian ones. thik that'd be a laugh and a half!

love to you all,

In every sense! A new year, a new journal!

So what better first entry than one filled with...

moans about peeling potatoes?! Oh My Gosh. I was standing there, at the sink, for about 15 minutes, peeling these pathetic blobs which dare to call themselves potatoes! Seriously, it took far too long, because they were all so small!

No in all seriousness, this blog was going to be a reflection on the past year, and my resolutions for the new one. Since I haven't yet written any down.

So highlights and lowlights of 2006...

Passing my driving test was a definite high-shame it only happened in December, but after 8 months of enduring the oddities of Chris, I was most happy to have my freedom. Now have Pendulum permanently booming out my windows.

Getting an interview at Cambridge-another amazing high, not least because I saw Stephen Hawking, but it was a great experience, met some wonderful people, and felt really lucky that I'd even got that far.

Getting through Round 1 of Youth Speaks. Not only did I choose a motion that I was entirely AGAINST, but hardly practiced it at all! Same with Jaya and Lois, and we definitely looked the scruffiest, least prepared people there. Was quite humourous, earned us £150 for our Ball, and got a lovely trophy with a photo in the paper-CRINGE! Only downer is round 2 in february.

Finally competing in Target 2.0...after months and months of prep I was glad that A) I did offer to speak and B) we didn't look like idiots and also C) we didn't get through (I understood nothing and hated it wholeheartedly!)

Gold DofE-a forgotten highlight of 2006. Practice was NOT, I repeat NOT a highlight. However qualifying most certainly was-with moments ranging from "Shake that ass for me, i said shake that ass for me" to having the best, or most oddly equipped first aid sets ever including even eyepatches and condoms, having the best waterfight ever, enjoying the thrills of Miss Cross's NON air-conditioned car at 35 degrees C and climbing Lord Hereford's Knob. Oh and how could I forget the thrills of waking up to the sound of sheep every morning?!

Paris '06 - The funniest Economics trip ever, actually no, that was in June when Mrs Creagh took us to the wrong venue and felt highly embarrassed the entire day...but Paris was immense. We ate out in style, transported the hotel beds in lifts, got lost late at night in freezing conditions with two teachers who didn't have maps, jumped over ticket barriers-avec Mme Creagh!, missed the boat trip, fell asleep during the conference, watched Mr J fall asleep too, generally had a good laugh!

Sigur Ros-pretty much flung onto Fran, we turned up to Hammersmith Apollo not sure what to expect-especially as we had "ROW X" tickets. Both of us left gobsmacked. One of the most stunning gigs I've ever been to.

Placebo-OMG!Started with Infra Red-ended with 20 Years, BRIAN MOLKO! FRAN! BETH! ME! IN ONE ROOM! what more can I say?!

The Who-One of the most legendary bands of the 20th and 21st Century. Pimms, a warm summer evening, my father, one of my best friends and the most amicable gig crowd I've come across.

The Trend (now Narration)-meeting one of my favourite bands, going to their gigs, and finding out more about music production than I ever have before. Thank you Dan Holt.

Amazing people of 2006:
Fran-always there, shared so many moments with me, a year without her will surely be a sad one
Beth-a year WITH Beth! Much better than 2005, saw her tons more and as ever, amazing!
Leyla-someone I've only just begun to spend more time with-and by gum am I glad I do.
Davis-strangely not known her very long but defintiely one of my closest friends now. she's ace, and has made me smile so much this year
Katherine-like Leyla, this year has meant I've spent more time with Katherine than before, and although I knew her before this year, things like the Economics trip...lmao! have really meant I've got to know her much better
Avni-just amazing
Hannah Field-My driving buddy, and neighbour, and a great friend!
Weez-despite not talking much these days, we still have a great time when we do talk, and I love that!
Harrie-Only got to know her this term really, but she's a life saver in French! and a really lovely person
Pippa-always there for me, she's the best sister anyone could ask for
Jon Bingham-a new friend this year although i've known him years. We're still carrying on our never ending conversation, and enjoy the occasional coffee and hot chocolate break!
John Hill-introduced to me by Pippa, the most sarcastic and funny guy I've met, he's really ace!
Toby-only been in my life for 2 and a half months, but he makes me smile so much, he's such a sweet and friendly person-you can't fail to like him!
Becky and Ed-got to know the two of them much better this year and they've become great friends at cadets
Stew-why? because from March until October I had a really great time being with him, and it was all so much fun.
My Parents will never forget to put them on a list of amazing people! yes last and certainly not least-my parents. love them always!

So Resolutions?

I am determined to exercise more consistently, instead of 3 months on, 3 months off
Work as hard as I can
Get a summer job
Play hard
Don't get sucked into relationships
Don't give anyone any reason to call me a slut
Keep phone bills to a SMALL amount (ie. not £163)
Enjoy Uni wherever I go!

Love to you all, and a most happy new year to you!
