People Power

so....I have some amazing people around me! ;


Yesterday I had a minor breakdown while discussing 'THE FUTURE' with my tutor. lol. rubbish. I left anyway and another tutor said a friendly hello and I cried. lol again. but then he took me aside, took time to listen to me and reassure me and help me come back to the here and now for now. Afterwards I came back to my awesome houseful of girlies and ended up mentionin it to a couple of them when they asked how it had gone and stuff. Later that day two of them independantly bought me a treat of rainbow drops (luv!) as a cheer-me-up :) so so sweet.

second, our washing machine very recently conked out (house with 6 girls - argh!). I mentioned it in passing at church student lunch and was pointed in the direction of a guy from church who was selling one. - we offered £75, he said "You can have it for £50". It's a really good, perfect condition, less than a year old machine...; Yes Please! hehe.
Today one of my housemates dad came to uninstall the old one, drive us to pick up the new one, and installed it in our house for us (yey!) and another of 3 guys from uni came to help us out. We now have a working washing machine! And so many people gave up of their time to help us out!

thirdly, my lovely mum sent me a little surprise of new socks and student asda tokens in the post which I got this morning...my mum is great ^_^

Just brilliant.
I'm sure there are many more amazing things over the last few days but that's three main things that spring to mind. <3

Also, over the last few days I've had quite a few conversations about my degree and what comes after...those conversations were with my housemates, some good friends from my course and as I mentioned a couple of my tutors... and lots of advice and things that I need to think about... But one thing I just wanna mention that one of my housemates said that really stuck in my head: It's about when u get your result for your degree - and we were talking about what we'd be happy with and stuff, and she said that at the end of the day when you open that piece of paper and see your grade, you've gotta know that you've done all you possibly could to get that, and if you know you've put your all into it and done your best then you can be satisfied with it whatever it is. And I think that's so true. And it makes me wanna do my best - I don't wanna open that piece of paper and think - whatever the grade - that I've let myself down.
