Last night was really fun!
Got to see most everyone again, and the meal was really nice - breaded mushrooms starter, then grilled quesadilla's (which were quite spicy) for main, and then I shared a HUGE strawberry sundae with Loll Loll - so big we only managed about half between us!
A few people had to leave early as they got lifts, but the rest of us stayed on a while longer - ended up getting chucked out when they shut the pub down. Meanies!
Kat gave me a lift back here though, and we saw my dad, who now accuses me (but in a joking way, because he's not in too bad a mood today) of having her stay over for hours after he'd gone to bed. Makes me wish I had made her stay longer, but she had to drive back to her house...Sankyuu for purty paper and Gackt'n'Hyde!!! They are such a couple! ^_____^
Went into town with my sis when I got up today (lunchtime) and we wandered around. Did want to buy some chocolates to thank mumkin for being so nice to me, but couldn't find any I thought were nice enough. Katie didn't see any of the things she'd wanted to get either, so we both just bought some chocolate pastries for ourselves, and then walked back (dad gave us a lift in, b/c he was on his way there himself).
Then we sat in the living room and watched last night's Big Brother (at Katie's request - though I did feel sorry for Pete and Glyn).
Have since sorted out the internet, which should be arriving anytime before the 2nd August, and I'll either get Jess to program it all while I direct over the phone, or I'll head back to York and sort it all out - will have to make sure can use Katie's old wireless stuff, otherwise we'll have to buy that as well.
Katie's now gone out to meet her friend Matt for a drink, and then she's got a b*day dinner to go to tonight, so I'll be here with the 'rents.
Dad's not being too bad at the mo though, because Katie had a major blow today.
She was hoping she could ask for her work to be re-marked or re-considered, because she was only 0.7% off of a 2.1 as her final degree - she got mainly 2.1 in all of her previous year's work, it was just her dissertation which dragged her mark down, and her tutor misled her with that, and said it was 1st quality work.
But she got a call from her tutor today (who would have been told she's been enquiring about re-submitting her work), and the stupid woman told her there was no way her work would get raised the extra 0.7% she needs. So that got her crying, because she's convinced she won't get a good job with an average 2.2 degree, and I think dad's trying to ease off on the pressuring her today. Good thing, because it's been driving her absolutely mental when he does that!
