I woke up today with my brain scrambled. It feels like I didn't sleep last night. I kept waking up. First when my flatmate's friends were running all over the corridor outside my room, and the second time was when the boys got back from town at about 4am or something stupid like that. Anyway, I got up at 9:20am, quite good really :)

So I got up, pottered around a little bit. Had breakfast, and I'm now preparing to start my Sociolinguistics assignment. It's my last ever piece of Sociolinguistics work, although I'm most probably going to continue with the subject, but just having a deep interest in it. I can't study it in my second year, because I have to take 2 Teaching Courses, as well as my French and German Courses... which reminds me, I need to speak to somebody about that. In 2009/10, I have to spend a year abroad, either at Lyon (France), Trier (Germany) or Berlin (Germany). I'll be honest with you, I want to go to Germany. Probably Berlin. Simply because I can't live in France. I have nothing against the culture or the French people... but I just prefer Germany. The food's better there too :D

But first, I need to find a job. Pronto :( Easier said than done, I'm afraid. Colchester is a student town. We have a University, and 2 colleges... but nobody will employ students. How stupid is that?! My best bet is to head back to Ipswich every weekend or what not, and just work there. And that's quite impractical, as travelling to work and back from Colchester to Ipswich will cost a fair bit, so it's a bit of a lose-lose situation.

I need money, 'cause I have a 4 month long holiday between June and October, during which the only thing I have planned is moving into my new home- a cheerful little 4 bedroomed house in Colchester, about 20minutes walk from the Uni. I'm living with Turk, Mike and Pav. 3 of my favourite people :) Our hallway is orange, and our kitchen has a table in it. We are so gonna have meals together, like a little family :)

And for the record, Mike ISN'T having the big room just because he says so.

So yeah, back to the Summer Holidays... Obviously I'm gonna do alot of work, 'cause I need money for the house and myself. But I'm also thinking of going to Vienna and Bratislava, and I'd simply love to spend some time in Finland, but I guess that's gonna be pretty impossible :( Ryanair have increased the costs of flights to Tampere, and Blue1 who fly to Helsinki are too expensive :'( The idea was maybe to rent an apartment for a week or so (I'm thinking Tampere, Helsinki, Espoo, Oulu) and just experiencing the best of Finland- that is, visit museums, go to Sauna, eat Makkara and drink non-alcoholic beer :)
