aiyah i'm sorry i suck

hello hello!!
i know, i know, i'm crap at keeping in touch on this. happy new year girls!! haha. as with everything else, punctual as always, me. has been a busy term (relative to last one.. i actually have tons of free time that i've gotten really good at wasting away) really liking the politics though my lit module this term is pretty crap. grr. took me awhile to adjust back to school (as you probably know chim, cos' you were the poor soul i chanced upon online and ranted to on returning) got too used to the sightseeing and change of scene every 2/3 days haha. since 2006 started i've seen cold, cold vienna and beautiful budapest. both are really gorgeous places! budapest, esp, is probably what i imagined europe to be :) walking at sunset against a wide river flanked by gorgeous architecture. and cool, crisp air. and trams. haha.
now i'm back at york and into the swing of things. (i'd better be, considering i'm pretty much half way through term.. almost) hard to write about life here. i keep going on about how the newness is fading, but in a sense i've solved that now and it's not a bad thing and maybe there'll always be a bit of newness still, once in awhile. i don't keep track of the days and they just seem to disappear so quickly i'm half-sad..i know not everyone will share the same sentiment as i do but i just want time to slow down so that i can grasp the moments.
it's getting colder here suddenly since february came. no chance of snow though.. so much for the hope :)
i do hope everything is alright with all of you. i wish i could share what's been going on with me better but i'm inarticulate and forgetful when pressed and i have no discernment whatsoever about the things you want to know. if i told you here about the minster ball and the band or toff's or housemates imagining branches on the way home or badgerbadgerbadgerbadger or the fullmonty i saw in a pantomime it wouldn't be the same as in person would it? so we shall just have to wait months more for proper, live updates i guess? for now be content with this space... haha
right. i'm off to do my essay now. . been putting it off for a week. of all things i could do i've chosen sthg i don't understand. i can't even pronounce the bloody word properly. hoho.
may february be a gd mth, may we all have great weeks ahead (to infinity) and may i finish my essay on time...
oh and watch the constant gardener if you haven't. it's brilliant. or just read the book..
and jo babe happy birthday in advance! hope you're feeling better now... go gym and get endorphins :) and i may be able to come to rome with you...
chim: can you help me d/d more songs pls?? i'll email you requests haha. sorry. i'm deprived.
shups: don't be so sian about hall :) and sleep earlier!!! i'll try to upload more pictures...
love to all of you!!
