Short Stories by Me.

Ive not been very good with this whole updating thing recently.
During the day i suddenly think of something or something just happens and i think ah yeh - i can update my blog with that but then, by the time i get home i no longer remember what that thing was!!

So here goes.. i decided to just update with a random collection of thoughts/experiences that i can actually remember (in no particular order):-

• SHOPPING TODAY: ..... I was in north Manchester buying food for the weekend and looking along to shelves to see what there is. I suddenly spot a grey washing up sized bucket thing and on it is cello taped a sign. The sign looks pretty normal - plain black writing on a white sheet of paper and so i skim read it. Then i read it again with slightly furrowed brow. Then i was just completely confused about its point in being there!!
  

" OUT OF DATE. HALF PRICE"

That was all it said.

What the hell is that all about?! Firstly it was generally cakes so if they were out of date they would be hard and just not very tasty but secondly, wouldn't you get food poisoning!? Why would anyone want to have them for free let alone pay money even if it is half price?!
i can just imagine it now - lady comes home with a cake for the family and they all bite into it and its rock solid so they all complain. The mother would probably just get all flabbergast at their complaints and tell them off with "it was half price, such a bargain! enjoy it... you have to eat it, IT WAS A BARGAIN!"

strange shop.

• UNIVERSITY: ..... Life has been pretty hectic these past few weeks. Ive had endless amounts of deadlines and it got pretty mad with things getting left till last minute and just generally me then freaking out over them and actually ending up getting really really stressed out about it all. It was pretty overwhelming. I handed in my final major piece of work yesterday which was a 3000 word essay. The only problem was i had only done 363 words by 10pm on Tuesday eve. Not a good scenario.... not a good scenario at all.

So, i ended up staying up until 7.30am doing the essay and slept till 9am then got up to re-read what i wrote, correct bits and adjust things before i printed it out and took it to uni to hand in.. when i came home i did a presentation (that was supposed to be today but the lecturer was ill so its been postponed till next week) and just adjusted another assignment essay thing that was due today, printed it out (and handed in this morning) ...and that's really it until my next deadline on the 22nd march!!

• HOUSE NEXT YEAR: ..... Completely by a massive massive stroke of luck, me and yael managed to get the two rooms on the top floor so we have our own little 'annex' thing.. should be really fun! Room size wise, got a lovely sized room - not too small and not too big but perfect for uni! Yaels got like a whole open planned flat in hers!! she can literally have a couch one end and do about 5 army rolls until she reaches her bed at the other end... not that she will .. but incase she ever wanted to she could!!

• PHONE CONTRACT: ..... my dad used his charm on the phone to orange and got an amazing new deal - i have unlimited texting and 2500 free minutes any network and time all for £30 or £35 a month - i cant remember .. but still.. i should just superglue the phone to my face the amount that I'm going to be needing it (or just wear my hands free kit more often!)

• GYM: ..... Been trying to go about 3 times a week and do a spinning class once a week which is amazing. Tonight i pushed myself to the point where i couldn't even row one more row. I think i was just getting out all the built up stress and adrenaline that ive stored up over the past weeks! still... its a lot of fun.
  

To be honest, that's all i have for now other than life in general is pretty damn good at the moment - i will do another collection of short stories soon!!
