AWESOME things have happened today... in order:
* got up early and didn't feel like i'd wasted the day
* got lots of infos on thailand and indonesia from a friend of my parents', especially very useful things like wear a wedding ring at all times, buy a purifying machine thingy for water, go to moon parties...
* met up with old schoolmates which was so nice, found out what lots of people are doing now, and hopefully meeting a couple more tomorrow!
* went to the hairdresser's and sort of changed hair colour - still brunette, but reddish-brunette now! (look here!)
* got home and found the best email, saying that i have a job with an italian NGO in banda aceh (indonesia) for the christmas period - basically being their PR for the tsunami anniversary and dealing with journalists, etc.! which should be super duper good!
* my dad got infos about colleges at oxford (so i now know which ones i'm applying for, wolfsen and st. antony's which are graduate-only) and found out that apparently getting in isn't too hard!
so yes, awesome awesome awesome. i'm happy.
