My package from my friend in Australia arrived today, she's so awesome :)

There's actually two or three you can get! I had a really fancy one last year, Ronnefeldt, I think? Cost about £25 including P&P, but had twenty five different, loose leaf teas (all 'proper' tea, no herbal ones), with enough for two/three cups per sachet. It was awesome. This year I couldn't really afford to splash out that much, but I did find a cute one that was £10 for two. Thirteen different flavours, in teabags (so only one cup and repeat flavours), but for the price it's really nice! I like the size too; last year's one was HUUUUGE and I had a tiny bedroom in a shared house. This year I could actually store such a big calendar properly but the one I have is dinky, so it fits well against the kettle. I think it's English Tea House?

Also, yay for packages! =) I love receiving post from my international friends. ^_^

Oh wow, I need to make sure I remember for next year

I love receiving any packages to be honest but this one was especially awesome. It was sent specifically to cheer me up because I'm not dealing well with relocating my life and she wrote me a really lovely letter too. I miss her like crazy but I'm so glad she's off having the experience of a lifetime and even happier that we still manage to stay in touch

Getting to do a survey for £125. Only took about an hour too ^_^ not too shabby! Only downside is I got that to do, 2 readings, loads of writing work and admin work all to be done by today. I am now going to collapse and have no time to do my nails lol!

i went to a seminar for the first time in 6 weeks and i feel so happy with myself

making some headway with my study abroad application.

It needs to all be done by the 9th but I don't have loads left to do - I've just got to order my choices, write about why I want to go to my top 3 choices, do my online application, do my financial plan and write down what modules I'd take.

currently researching courses and some of them are SO interesting - I REALLY hope I get onto the programme!

I gave a friend of mine, whose birthday was on the 12th of October, her birthday presents just now because she was away from town for family reasons. She was so happy it made me happy too :D And I'm not very happy these days, so it was nice.

Found out I got a B on my Chemistry formal assessment! Seeing as I got an E on my last one, I was pretty happy with getting a B on this one. :D

The tree is up!

I rang my grandparents today because I haven't spoken to them in over a month.

I love how happy my granddad sounds when he realises it's me on the other end of the phone :')

I just didn't break my laptop :D

Thought I had, cos I closed it with the lid of my usb stick sitting up above the keyboard, and the hinge popped! Luckily it seems to be the hinge that doesn't have all the wires etc in it so it just clicked back together and is totally fine. Missed the screen as well. Whew!!
