In bullet points of sorts, because I am tired.

Another friend who's been around since last year leaves tonight. She's leaving the country and moving to the States for a new job, and I'm incredibly excited for her. Still, it's kind of sad, especially because I know it'll be me soon. We'll miss you S. I'm sure you'll have an amazing time out there.

Boris Johnson, really? I am reconsidering moving to London! I cannot believe people would elect such a mumbling buffoon, a public school/Oxbridge/never really needed to work guy who obviously knows fuck all about politics. It's depressing to know people can vote for someone that is so obviously not going to represent them in any way. At least the conservatives lost their only two seats in Oxford, and the ward I live in kept its Lib Dem councillor.

This morning I woke up with one of the worst hangovers of my life. I had no idea three pints of cider could have such an effect on me. Last night included the aforementioned S falling into the river, me poking most of my female friends on the boobs, and more generally a lot of very loud and very inappropriate conversations. I also ended up falling asleep on the sofa, as after coming home at 2.30 I decided to tell M I would 'watch some ER to sober up'. He then had to come get me at 5am and take me to bed. Today was mostly spent feeling sorry for myself, attempting hair of the dog (half a glass of Pimm's which did not go down well), eating barbecued sausages with lots of ketchup, drinking tea and then having Chinese take-away, whilst smoking continuously. Great. I've only just started to feel alive again.

M and I have been together for a year and a half (and a couple of days). And I'm as in love as always, and cannot believe how complete he makes me feel. This one is a keeper, really.

I am going home (to Paris) next week, for six days. The longest I've been away from Wolfson/Oxford since Christmas, and also the first time I'll be away from M for more than a day or two since September. Kind of scary, but much needed. The following activities shall be undertaken whilst home:
- Go to the hairdresser.
- Go to the eye doctor and get new contact lenses.
- Go to the German embassy and apply for a new passport.
- Go to my mother's physical therapist and get my back sorted out.
- Download all the TV series I've been missing in the last few months, and a couple of new ones.
- Eat good food.
...And generally veg out.
It's going to be awesome. Apart from the lack of cigarettes. I really do wish my mother would face the fact I smoke. Parents, eh. They'll never get there.
