The Wonders of Entrepreneurship

So we're coming to the end of another year at university. I'm really looking forward to a well earned rest over the summer and an opportunity to relax (and stop biting my nails, and regarding sleeping, sunbathing and reading girly websites as official productive activities). However, I also feel a little bit sad, for we are now moving onto the last stage of a journey that has changed our lives so much, in so many incredible ways.

So *holds glass of water up (I still have one more exam left...)* here's to us; the next tax-paying, work-hating, prozac-taking, colleague-cursing, ample-drinking, money-driven generation. Cheers!

All my love,

Monica

I'm trying really hard to concentrate but it's hard with a million other things playing in my head. And parents who take "please respect my privacy and let me study in peace" to mean "please open my bedroom door, come in, put your hand on my shoulder and give me a lecture about how important it is to eat fish at a critical time like this". It's funny how it took them four months to notice I didn't eat meat anymore, and a little longer to notice I've gone off fish as well.

Also, there's about three hairdressers on every street (make that five for Liverpool), how come none of them can do a decent job at cutting my bloody fringe?! Gaaaah!!!!!

On saturday I went to a wedding; it was a lovely night. The bride looked stunning, the place was very nicely decorated, everyone was having a good time and the newlyweds looked sooo happy, it was beautiful.

People spend so much money on this one special day. I don't have anything against that, and I think that when you look back you want to remember your wedding as an amazing day, so every penny is worth it. But I've never really wanted to have a traditional wedding, I'd rather get married on a beach with a few friends and family, and then have cocktails and canapés while dancing to live music in the moonlight and a fire. I've had this thought since I was a little girl - special, I know.

So I'm glad me and my boyfriend got completely smashed and confessed that we want to get married one day and, as it turns out, neither of us is keen on a church wedding. We have faith and beliefs and we're religious, but we think the church is fabricated.

I wish I could remember what else I said to him, hopefully nothing as bad as admitting that I'm allergic to cats, after having been around his cat for nearly six months. I love the kitty, what am I gonna do?! A little rash and an itch never hurt anyone.

Hope your bank holiday weekend was as good as mine, Jimmy.

I love shoes. I'll probably spend a lot of my earnings on shoes. With my first paycheck, I'm gonna buy a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes. These are my new pair (before the last ones I bought):

Same height as a bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Cinema perfume:

Or a highlighter:

Or a Lancome Juicy Tube:

But higher than a whiskey flask! So surely, more productive, I think.

Sorry about the girlieness of this entry. These shoes are one of those things I mentioned previously that look good but are pure evil. And tomorrow, I will be wearing them all day. God help me.

I was reading a book earlier and saw this quote:

"There is a close relationship between the "haha" of humor and the "aha" of discovery."

Brilliant! It's things like that that make me laugh/keep me awake during revision.
