I’ve been rather lazy, haven’t I? Sorry about that. Last you heard from me was that I’d got into Uni. Well, there’ve been several developments since then. It’s just under two weeks until I go. It’s scary. Really scary. Just the thought of it, like a sense of impending doom. I get that when ever I have to do something big, like when I had to start getting the bus home from school. I had dreams about it for the previous week or so. But now it’s easy, even paying in cash, providing I have the right amount ready. I’m used to it. It’s the anticipation, like when you have your blood sugar tested at the doctors. The first time it was quick because I wasn’t expecting it but the second time I kept tensing and whipping my hand away and constantly apologising for being such a wimp.
I got my eyes tested a couple of weeks ago, got my old frames refitted with my new lenses (My sunglasses too). I’ve finally opened a student account and my dentist has signed my driving licence form. In further news, I’ve got residence at Uni. Mum and I have been doing some shopping over the past couple of weekends, it started on the Saturday I got my glasses back, mainly clothes shopping because I have some stuff but apparently not enough. Yesterday we did some shoe shopping too. I’ve been toying with the idea of boots but they didn’t have my size. I got some new trainers though, my current ones are nearing 5-6 years old now, they fit my feet perfectly but they’re rather worn out now. It’s hard to find appropriate shoes because I have wide feet. We tried to get some jeans like my current ones (elasticated at the sides). I stopped wearing jeans a few years ago after one Christmas where I tried on a pair that mum had bought me and got stuck in them (They were about a size too small). Dad was in a hurry to go because we go and see his relatives on Christmas day. I had to call mum to help me. She wasn’t that much help though because she kept laughing and made me laugh. These are the first ones I’ve worn since then. I’ve had them for a while and I really like them. But the fashion these days seems to be, for lack of another word, ****. They don’t seem to sell my kind of jeans, in my size.
Normally I hate clothes shopping for reasons such as that, I have specific tastes and prefer comfort. At the moment most shops on the High Road doesn’t seem to cater for that. Surprisingly though, these past few shopping trips haven’t been so tedious. Could it just be a lucky mood swing, me finally accepting that things are going to change, am I finally maturing in the areas of my mind that refused to grow up before or am I just accepting that I need to broaden my horizons when it comes to such things? I used to just wear blue mainly but now I’ve been edging towards black and also white too, it’s since mum bought me those two t-shirts (a black one with a red dragon and a dark navy blue one with a black cat).
We’ve also bought an alarm clock with a bell. I knew exactly what kind would wake me up. I sleep through the beeping ones and the radio wouldn’t work because I listen to music before going to sleep. I had one that crowed like a rooster once that my aunt sent me. The only way to turn it off was to physically get up and turn it off, it wouldn’t shut up after a few minutes and it was loud. It got lost somehow, I can’t remember when or exactly where, but I know I liked it a lot, even though it gave me a rude awakening every morning And it was blue to boot.

I have a ton of other stuff but I can’t think of it now. I guess I’ll remember tomorrow. So, until then.

Bluebiird out.

Oh, and thank you everyone for your congratulations on getting into Uni. I'm sorry I didn't say that earlier.
