Today is made of win

[fightingthecage]

Woohoo! Productive day. Relatively, anyway. First, woke up, was dozing around - as you do - and then noticed another huge fuckoff spider on the ceiling above my bed. Well. Can't be having with that. So, got up and trapped it and flung it out of the window - I must say, it was considerate of this one to be in the bedroom because I can stand on my bed to reach it with a pint glass, just about. So yes, I felt very productive from the moment I woke up.

Pottered about, accidentally bid on a used 30gb ipod on Ebay (oops!), hopefully that'll be a win in just under four hours. Then went out to take on the mighty College and track down people who actually know what they're on about etc. A hard job at this college, I assure you. Except not today! The first person I ran into was the one I needed to talk to. And she took me to other people that I needed to talk to - people I know from last year - and they told me to see my teachers from last year who were actually in the building. Amazing! So, upshot is - they were falling over themselves to have me back because I 'guaranteed a good grade' (in the words of my history teacher). Hurrah! I explained about Scribble and they were both shocked (it appears I still don't look pregnant) and pleased for me and were fine about me turning up in November (History) and January (English) to finish off the course and not redo the whole thing. Couldn't be better! And I don't even have to pay this year because of having a low income job, so that's saved me about £500. *dances* Will go enrol tomorrow.

Driving out of college (even remembered to stop at supermarket for shampoo, which had run out of) I passed a van for the nearby childcare centre. And it said, right there on the side, that they took kids from age 0. Hurrah again! Because the college creche only takes kids from age 2 so I'd have to find alternative childcare, and Scriblet will still be v. young at the end of November, obviously. So, I shall look further into that. It's only a total of four hours a week that I'll be away from him/her, which I hope should be do-able.

Went home, paid bills and arranged a haircut for tomorrow. There is something about paying bills that is satisfying, you know? Even though it's bleurgh to part with the money, once it's done, it's done and you don't have to think about it again for another month. So now I feel good. Yay! The emo of last night is banished! I have tea and gorgeous ham sandwiches and I think I shall spend the rest of the day watching Queer as Folk, RP-ing and making icons.
