volcanic's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- boring entry (my apologies) I’m finding my new lifestyle fascinating. I think it’s when- as I’m doing now- I just stop for a minute, and play “spot the difference” that I realise just how much has changed. For a start, I see my delicious son every day, as opposed to him spending half the week at my mum’s while I’m working. I get to do a plate of cake and a glass of juice for him every afternoon, because I’m here when he gets home. It’s amazing. I thought we’d drive eachother up the pole sharing such an intense life in a 30’ by 10’ trailer, but no- it’s blissful and we’re both loving it. And I can have late nights, now, because I don’t have to get up at 6am to go to work. So I can stay up late, chatting with George on the phone, watching movies and doing it all with no guilt and no repercussions. I can work during the day and have cosy family evenings, cooking tea and watching telly. It’s great. And I have time to go swimming and take some fitness classes. I signed up for Pilates and belly dancing today, both of which start next week. I’m going to lissom and well-honed and incredibly stress-free. Here’s a shout-out to all you people who are also at UNI right now: are there loads of fat students where you are, too, or is it just a Welsh phenomenon? I’ve been staggered by all the fat people around here. If students haven’t got enough money to live on, they must be eating cold chips out of the gutters to keep themselves nice and chubby, that’s all I can say (and bear in mind that I’m no flimsy slip of a thing myself, so I’m being observational rather than size-ist here). Seriously, even the gay boys at the LGB society meeting were all a tad on the lardy side, which surprised me. It’s bizarre, and frightening, in a way. Is this the first trickle of the fat children the Daily Hell would have us believe we’re rearing fleeing the nest and entering Higher Education? I’ve just been to the library and checked out four books on Christopher Marlowe. My first essay will sparkle, mark my words. So far I’m being very good and keeping on top of all my work, and in half an hour I’ve got a lecture on European Cinema. I’m loving this life so much. This has been a very boring entry, I know. I think I’ll write a more interesting one later, when I’m feeling cooler and more inspired. Later then, people… 12:30 p.m. - 01.10.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
