happy birthday giles!!! i send lots of kisses your way...
oh, i wish, i wish, i was going to giles' bday party tomorrow night, and dressing up in sexy clothes, and drinking lots, and having oh so much fun! but nope, i'm here, and people have their phones turned off, how annoying.
well, i can't really complain. i'm chilling out (even got a facial today, my skin feels all smooth and pretty!!!) and sorting out my application for oxford & sussex. i can't believe the amount of stuff oxford wants from me! a CV, two pieces of work, transcripts, a personal statement and three references...! it's never ending. i've only got to do the personal statement though, and the transcripts and references should be sorted out soon, so it's all good. i also need advice from some of my dad's friends about which college to apply to... that's the good thing about applying to oxford, i'll have quite a few contacts there!!!
the only thing that's really, really stressed me out is... MONEY. the course i want to do is the mphil in development studies (this one or this one) and it's EXPENSIVE. it costs 10,000 pounds (around 15,000 euros) at sussex and 14,000 pounds (around 21,000 euros) at oxford (that's for the two years, just tuition fees). this might become an issue at some point; but you know what, i've decided i'm going, i don't care what happens, i'll find the money somewhere somehow. considering i have my family backing me it shouldn't be a problem.
other than this, as i said, i've been chilling out. i've downloaded like 35 albums in the last few days, mostly indie pop and indie rock stuff, so i now need to listen to it all!
on the other hand, i haven't been reading much, so i think i'm gonna go do it now... :p

Version

Because a picture is worth a thousand words, and I cannot describe my life better than a picture can.
And because my heaven is here, I'll wrap the world around it and live in a cocoon. Quoting from a favourite song, 'Letting the cables sleep' by Bush, in its incarnation as a remix. And I do wish the friend who introduced me to the song was here to see the way things turned out.
The photos used on this site were all taken by me and can be found on my Flickr account.
