I didn't forget to update this, really I didn't!

So yesterday was the last time I'll get to see Tim for a while because of Leeds and resting, which sucked monkey butt.

To add to the wonderfulness, I'm on quite a bit of a down healthwise at the moment, and starting to show signs of a cold or something too. Just a teensy bit worried about that. Just a bit.

I've been getting nagged for a while by my parents about doing too much, and yet, today at the dinner table, they suggested that I get a part time job! Yes, so seeing my boyfriend three days a week and being crap the rest of the time is me doing too much. However, working would be entirely within my capabilities! To add to the nastiness of it all, it rather felt like they just weren't satisfied.

Way back in August, I checked out the Open University site, noticed that they said "generally" only people over 18 are accepted and emailed them pleading my case. Today I heard back from them, and they've accepted me. It was fantastic news, especially since I was convinced they were going to say no. And yet, even though my parents told me this morning how pleased the were about that, straight after I had both of them trying to make me do something else in the time leading up to it (the course doesn't start until February). I've still got my AYME work, but it seems that isn't enough for them, and I should be doing something else in the meantime, rather than taking some time out to rest and maybe even enjoy myself after the years of no (local) friends and no fun. I hadn't intended to go on so much of a moan, I just wish for once they'd leave me be and trust me to make my own decisions; lead my own life. But I'm still just a kid. Just their baby, right?
