Student Life Diary


Year 3, Diary entry 19. 15 March 2004.

Having complained about not having money for the last three years (!) I’ve suddenly decided to throw caution to the wind and just dig well into my overdraft. At least if I’m gonna be poor I may as well be REALLY poor but with some decent clothes or something great to eat.

Despite my new outlook on money I still haven’t even bothered myself to go downtown and shop, partly because I’m too lazy, and partly because I’m trying to behave myself and actually do some study this week!

Well before you die of shock I haven’t done anything too stressful (!) but I did get caught up on most of my anthropology readings. If I’m not spending time and money photocopying the damn things then I’m reading them! The only reason I got work done this week was because my better half was playing the bass guitar for his dad’s school show.

Much as I desperately missed Niall all week I couldn’t help but notice the fact that once he’d gone I even managed to start planning an essay, which, might I add, isn’t due in for another week!!!

The girls were great company this week while Niall was away but I’m still miffed at Nicola, not because she’s done anything wrong, but because she got offered a fantastic job for her placement year with a ridiculously huge salary!!!

She may be my favourite next door neighbour in the house but I hope she remembers how poor I’m gonna be next year. Despite the fact everyone else has the next ten years of study and work planned out I’ve just about decided what I’m going to do for the summer. Anyway I don’t know many people that would employ an anthropological musician but if you know anyone’s who’s looking give me a shout!
