Well it's been a while since my last post. Had a brilliant mayweek (i know it's in june, but it's just of those Cambridge things I guess), nothing to really complain about there :) I do miss my uni friends.

Got home to find my house was a mess, couldn't even sleep in my own room on the 1st night and have only just been able to unpack my suitcase into my wardrobe. My beautiful stars that I spent so long putting on my ceiling were taken down and the ceiling painted over in my absence. Apparently the ceiling was dirty so it had to be painted. I didn't see it myself, but I suspect wiping it with a damp cloth may have cleaned it seeing as it wasn't so dirty as to not look white anymore. Can't see much difference myself. The skirting board had also been painted over in white...which looked ok, but i always really liked the shade of blue it had been. I managed to win that one and get it painted blue again, though the top railing has been left white (yes, i'm capabale of compromise ;))
The furniture in my room has also been moved around. My room looks a lot bigger now and the desk is at the window which is where I always wanted it in the first place. As ever, my mother has provided me with another box to put things in, this one might actually be useful though for once!

That's all the news about my house and room really. My aunty and uncle from India are coming on Monday with my cousin. Will be good to see them again, it's been over 2 years now. I miss my family in India a lot, it's something I wish I didn't have to get used to but that's life I guess. One thing I don't miss however is their judgemental attitude to looks sometimes. I'm not prepared for a running commentary on how much weight I've put on or anything to that effect. If they start, I'm ignoring it. I refuse to let it upset or affect me, I know what I look like, what I want to look like and what I can live with. Just need to keep that in mind. But like I say, it will be good to see them again.

What else? Mostly been wondering how I can get myself travelling or generally do something useful. I don't want to spend my summer at home, I want to see something or somewhere I've never seen before, even if it's only in England. Hopefully will get to see some of Cornwall this summer when my cousin graduates. Also my brother just got a job in Taunton so I'll be more likely to see that part of England for the next year hopefully.

ok, i think that will do for now. Might get back to my book. Have a long list of things I want to read this summer! Traa for now x
