Hmmm ... yes ... entry time. Haven't updated for a while now, because either there was nothing to say or I thought it a) didn't concern anyone but me b) wouldn't have interested anyone anyway.
I've finished one term paper now (Comparison between Havelock Ellis' and Oscar Wilde's view about homosexuality) and am writing the second (Comparison between Oscar Wilde and the novel character Lord Henry from The Picture of Dorian Gray) -- do you see a pattern here? I also passed my exams, though I'm not very happy with the grades (both a C) and managed to book a couple of classes already. (Go me!)
What has happened in my non-uni life (yes, it does exist): I'm going to the gym every two days now, which is fun, my grandfather is alive and will go into rehab on Tuesday (and take my grandmother with him so they can stay in one room together and annoy the hell out of each other). His hospital stay and the fact that that we had to drive our grandmother/mother/mother-in-law around has put a bit of a strain on each of us, only adding to the stress my uncle, aunt and cousin have at the moment, because my cousin (who just turned 17) behaves like the biggest brat in the century and doesn't get that she's not learning to please her parents, but to maybe be able to have a good life later. Right at the moment it looks like she's not going to pass this grade. And then there's my uncle, who says yes and amen to nearly everything my cousin says (behind my aunt's back) and then never goes through with things when my aunt tells her off. Everyone is working against the other and there is talking about splitting up again and gah.
My own parents have been remarkably quiet for a while now - though they are living seperated for 11 years now.
What worries me most, I think, is something else though. It's Des, who I haven't seen online since Wednesday when I went to the gym. I didn't get an email - or anything else for that matter - and I'm quite worried, because he was being a bit weird before I left. Quiet and moody. I hope it's just the computer, which has been shutting down a lot lately. Des told me that he would have to get it repaired as soon as possible, so I'm hoping that's why he's away at the moment. Though I would have dropped him a line from another computer if that had happened to me. He is not me, of course, and I'm usually quite over-anxious, because I always think people could be worried about me when I vanish like that. I just hope he's not in hospital again or anything like that. Last time he vanished for 5 days he was taken by the police and then later, like about one or two days after he came back on, he was sent to Compass for six months.
And now my upcoming holiday is increasing my worry. I'm going to fly to Goa, India on Wednesday and won't come back for two weeks. I'll be online at least twice, though (to book more classes), but that's not the same (12th and 15th, btw). I think I'm going to have a fit if he doesn't come on before that. Not knowing what's going on is not a nice feeling at all.
...Which is the reason why I gave him my phone numbers about a year ago. Did I get one back? No. Of course not. Men just don't get the subtle, though that's not really a surprise to me. I should have said "Gimme your damn phone number, idiot!" ... though maybe that wouldn't have been clear enough. <_< Men. Gah. A phone number would have been wonderful to clear things up. He hasn't called one, btw. Ha. It's not even expensive! I mean, I even have skype now! (Okay, he doesn't have a mic, but yeah...)
