i can't believe it's december already. i never thought the year had gone by fast til now. to think of it, this month has gone pretty fast, it's about third of the way through already. last christmas wasn't even that long ago!

i'd say i haven't blogged for a while because i've been busy, but that would probably be a lie. a lot has been up though.

college hasn't been the most enjoyable these days. no one else is enjoying it either. i feel like i'm making too much of an effort for the amount of output i get from it. but, i've discovered a new motivation to go to college. the dvd section of the library. at first i thought it was pretty crappy, but i've actually borrowed quite a few dvd's since i first had a proper look. also, i discovered this week that some dvds are hidden in the film book section. the spike jonze video collection was amongst the auteur section, and i died of happiness a little, totally getting that when i'm back at college. there are some other films i've been considering, but i put off getting any this week so i can watch films that relate to my work rather than trying to go through my watchlist. plus, the past couple of weeks, i've not been needed in college, and i probably would never find the motivation to go to college just to hand stuff in. it costs me to get there too (probably a crap excuse now i have a job, but i'm the gal with no change ever)

speaking of work, it's been alright. it's SUPER busy, cause of christmas, and the fact every day i've been there, there's been 20% of events and things. i know it's probably wrong, but what makes me enjoy it is finding interesting customers each day. last time i was there, i was sad cause i hardly found any. apart from liv, but she wasn't my customer. i had a dream the other night that i served karl pilkington, and now i'm hoping he does come in. or any other possible, probably british celebrity.
another thing about work i enjoy is the canteen. i only get a 30 minute break, but all the nice food from instore is really discounted. for example, the really nice biscuits that we've had bought a few times in the past month have been in the vending machine for 21p! wow i feel really sad and fat for saying it's something i enjoy about work, but i've never had the advantage of staff discount before. what can i say, i'm a bargin queen.

another thing i should mention is my interesting day out in durham. i was meant to be meeting stacyann there, but she ended up feeling really sick and having to go to her dads. i'd already bought the train tickets, and it cost £10 to refund the tickets, which was more than what i actually paid for. liv ended up joining me, and we went christmas shopping! it had lots of decent shops, i think mine and livs favourites were the vintage shops. they're nothing like the ones here in newcastle. didn't get anything from either, but i was close to getting some cute jewellery from one place. got to go back there after christmas to spoil myself. there was also an interesting market there, apparently it's one of the best places to go in durham. there was a cheap dvd shop there too, but it wasn't fun looking at it because i knew i'd find lots of films i'd want for myself.
only thing that we didn't really like was yates. well the food was alright, but it was kind of sinister. the people there were scary, the atmosphere was horrible, and it was sticky and poopy. there was a man who looked like the bald woman from shutter island, and he kept looking at me and liv. it was horrible.
so the moral of that, when we go back to durham, it'll probably be weatherspoons we pick next time. or nandos. there's meant to be a massive food place like the gate in town, all i remember seeing on the list was nandos, i know how much liv fancies it.
i want to go on another train journey, it was so fun on the way there!

okay i thought i had more to say, but clearly not. BYE
