I want this summer to be really good. And i know building things up in your mind generally leads to disappointment, but i think i'll do it anyway because for now it's the only thing left keeping me going through school!

1. I want to go on holiday! I want to go anywhere, england, france, bulgaria, anglesey! anywhere. I want somewhere with sun, somewhere where i can drink, somewhere with friends and somewhere where i can afford to eat. I just want that feeling you get on holiday when you feel like you have no responsibility. When the sun warms your blood and makes you feel unreasonably happy. I'm desperate! I need to leave england, even if it's just for a week!

2. I want awesome days out. If i get into uni i'll be going down south so i want to enjoy all the stuff i took for granted now. Like the zoo! I want to find nice quiet places where we can take pack lunches, piss about and create really funny stories that make you smile to look back on them. (In my mind these days are ALL sunny, so either it better be a fucking record breaking summer or we check the forecasts.)

3. I want the best leeds festival yet. Leeds has steadily been getting more fun every year we go, i don't want the trend to be ruined! There's just something in those disgusting muddy fields that makes it the highlight of my year! I want more dancing, more drinking, more singing, more smokey tiiiimes ;), less sleep and more sexies. We can do it guys! We can make it the best leeds ever! Woo! I just really love living in fields.

4. I want to make memories. I want some spontaneous, craaazy trips out that i obviously can't plan but think about all the same.

5. I also want more tattoos :)

All that sounds really demanding but it's not meant to be. And maybe it's really petty i don't know, but i want everyone to have a good time and i want to have a good time too. Hmm. Not sure. I think i need to get drunk.

Do you not find that snow brings out a childlike joy in 90% of people? Only those who are elderly, frail or without a soul could be upset about snow. It might be just me, but there must be others who become instilled with sheer joy at the prospect of a snow day!
I'm desperate for a snow day like you don't understand! Emma and Rachel both had the day off and i was insanely jealous. They got to play in the snow, sleep, watch films and flight of the conchords etc while i had CLOD (classics lesson of doom) without them. The fuckers. I think what made it so much worse was that i'd got my hopes up about a snow day, so being deprieved of it just made me angry.
Yet as i was walking home, with Evan Dando ringing in my ears, i couldn't resist jumping in the last remnants of snow on the path. See, even though i was mad at the lack of snow, i just couldn't stay upset at it! The bastard, bastard snow won me over and made me happy all over again!
I think i'll just focus my anger at the fact i didn't get a day off rather than at the snow itself. And also maybe at York university too. Who have not told me a single thing about me going there, making the difficult match of portsmouth (supercool city, close to london, far from home) vs. york (cultural city, closer to home and everyone else, but just a bigger version of chester) very very hard to consider properly!! Goddammit. So, maybe i will just focus on resenting them in order not to become completely bitter and twisted!
