tomatoes have no smell…

tomatoes have no smell, but the vine does…that’s why they sell tomatoes on the vine.

interesting fact for the day…social work is a very informative course :p it actually came up because we had a guest lecturer in for part of the afternoon to talk about sensory impairment and obviously we ended up talking about taste and smell and that’s when this fact came up.

anyway, my godmother is home from her trip to the Dominican Republic and I’m sure she’ll have caught up with my blog by now and since I’ve been hanging on every word of hers (written by her husband Colin in order to keep us up to date with what’s happening) I thought I ought to blog again so she has lots to read! she’s always nagging me to blog more and since she’s been away I’ve blogged 4 times I think…isn’t it ironic? kinda like buses, you wait for one etc etc.

I’m still procrastinating a little bit, I could do some work now but my brain isn’t really working. Particularly coz I need to prepare for lectures tomorrow (I have started doing that) I just don’t think I’m going to get much essay work done tonight.
I have reserved 3 books in the library and am planning to pick them up tomorrow or wednesday, whenever they’re ready :) and I’ve been doing a bit of journal surfing over the weekend (the internet is a wonderful thing!).

in other news:
-I’ve kinda realised that St.Aldates isn’t really working for me, nice church but I just feel a bit lost, which I thought would be nice..just to get lost in the crowd but I think feeling part of a community is so important to me that it doesn’t work. So I’m going to try St.Ebbes on Sunday morning (that’s the other thing…I don’t like going out on a Sunday night, I’m just too tired by that point)

-I’ve already started making loose plans for next year…Teresa is a very good friend I’ve made in CU, we just clicked and we’ve talked about moving in together next year, maybe with a few other girls from the CU. I swing from being very excited about the idea, to being very scared. I do want to move out and living with friends will be so good, but I don’t want to rush things and end up back where I was…we’ll see! I’m trying to trust God with this one.

-We’ve been talking as a family about maybe going to America sometime next year to visit my godmother and her family. I’d already thought about going in May after I finish for the year, PJ wants to go and snowboard with the boys, Mum would like to go, we’d all like to go. Dad has some airmiles that have to be used before March so we’re looking out for good deals…hopefully one, some, many, all of us will end up going out. Auntie A has said she’d love to see us in any form so we’ll see how it works out.

I think that’s everything for now. My general feeling at the moment is that I’m still happy and enjoying myself but I’m stressed about assignments and very tired. I’m sleeping alright but my brain’s been working hard so I’m just tired, emotionally, physically, mentally, I’m tired.
In 5 weeks I’ll be done! Sounds alot but in 3 weeks my first essays are due in and after that the next 2 weeks will fly by.

Alright I’m off to prep for lectures and am going to try and get an earlier night if possible.
Much love xxx
