I didn't even check to see what the last thing I wrote was. I know time has passed again. I'm in Cambridge at the moment. My new split life is good but also bad. I spend 2 nights out of 7 commuting. This leaves me with 2 nights in Cambridge and 3 nights in London for socializing and catching up with people. To be fair, I am much more focused on the London people as in Cambridge I don't know that many people yet. So really what I'm saying is, every week instead of 7 nights to play with I only have 3 and it's hard to find time to schedule with people and also it's tiring all this back and forth.

Although I do really enjoy it. I like what I'm doing and it's interesting. Although time is flying by at an alarming rate and I feel like I have not accomplished particularly much. This is actually not one hundred percent true and I have done a lot, it's just that research is a much slower process with a lot less to show for it as opposed to you know, drawing things.

My skin is not doing well. I thought it was all on the mend but it seems to have taken a backslide. I'm now again considering trying to get an appointment with my GP so I can get a referral to a dermatologist. I know that there's no real cure or solution, but I hope for some new cream or other lotion that will force it into some sort of submission. It seems to respond less and less to what I'm doing, and this is no good.

The past few weeks have had some highs and lows. Had a fairly significant argument with a friend that really upset me. It isn't particularly resolved, or rather, they aren't particularly resolved and aside from getting their way, they haven't a clue as to how else to resolve a disagreement and so we are at a stalemate. However, I'm so strung out by the length of this situation at this point that it's hard to care as it's just made me incredibly angry for a very long time. I care in that, I don't want this to happen, but I don't care in that, if someone can't see reason or act in a reasonable fashion, then it is not my responsibility if I feel I have done so.

Went to a Peer Rope event, the last at the current location and possibly the last for some time. That was a lot of fun. I have some nice bruises still on my arms from a particularly feisty struggle. And that's now over a week ago! Ha. This girl on the train yesterday must have gone to play paintball as she had these perfectly round bruises all over her and then was of course wearing this little cute sun dress thing. I was absolutely fascinated by the bruises, but I still think paintball for me is a step too far.

Had a quasi date with a guy I had a date with a couple of weeks ago. We have planned a more proper date for this Friday. I cannot get overly excited about anything dating wise, but he seems cool and I'd really like to get to know him better to see how it all goes. On the one hand I'm hopeful it goes well, but I'm equally aware of the potential for it to be nothing, hence my lack of excitement either way. Still, so far so good- and at the moment that's all that really matters.

Last bit of excitement is that I'm planning a camping trip for my birthday. As most of my friends are not around, me and H are taking her horse and a horsebox and our bikes and stuff down to the new forest and camping we shall go. I know that it's completely not in keeping with anything about my personality as most people who know me know that I really don't like the outdoors, but I'm ridiculously excited about going camping. Plus a cute little town and beaches are only 4 miles away, and the new forest is right on the doorstep. So hopefully the weather will hold and a good time will be had by all.

Not much else coming to mind. I'm sure there are other things. I know in fact, that there are other things, but my computer is running out of battery and maybe I should try to get some sort of work accomplished today.
