I've started swimming again and I always forget how much I love it. I feel terribly healthy-minded (although obviously it won't have done anything for me yet, I have hopes!) I'm planning on going to the gym over the summer if I can, as well, if they do the student discounty thing they did last year again.

I bought the new Keane album the other day, which is gorgeous. I was trying to decide which of their two albums I liked better, but then I thought, 'how can you decide when one of the two things is so familiar and beloved?' so I gave up and stole the wording to put into something else, because I think 'familiar and beloved' is a really nice turn of phrase :)

At some point this summer I will be organising a trip to the zoo. If you want to come, let me know, and we will all go and point at fuzzy animals. (Look in the comments to see a picture of a fuzzy animal, though not one from London Zoo as far as I know...)

Soooo... I got a new job! Yaaaay!

I went to Starbucks in Beaconsfield and got a new job, so I should be starting next week as a Barista ^-^ (Coffee smell, for some reason, no longer makes me feel sick, so cool!) It's £5.30 an hour, four 8-hour shifts a week which is fine, a free bag of coffee every week (so you lot can probably cadge some off me if you want some free coffee), free drinks while I'm working, 50% off food when I'm working, and 30% off everything when I'm not working. Also, most importantly, free parking, so that's an hour less I have to work before I make a profit (as in, at WHS, I had to work for an hour to pay off my parking fees before I made money!)

Also, I found my lost leather glove! It was in my car, shoved down the side of the seat. I must have dislodged it when I cleaned out my car yesterday, to find it today! Yaaay!

Although, bad luck was that the pool timetable was wrong online and I went to the pool and couldn't go swimming and I'd already paid for parking. Dammit.

Other good thing of the day: I had this great dream last night which was like a Kat-esque whole-novel-length-story dream. I wrote it all down as soon as I woke up, so I have it safe, and I'm thinking of writing it. It's a weird sort of fantasy/modern fusion type of thing (with a female main character! da-da-DAHN! That never happens in my stories!)

I went swimming again today! And it was fun except for the crowdedness and rude people getting in the way, and I felt stronger than before though maybe it was just my imagination. So, snack less, exercise more, is my current plan. Try to lose weight so I can wear pretty dresses without my stomach sticking out. Which sucks.

No writing yet today, feeling lazy. Will worry about not writing enough and falling out of the project tomorrow when I have more time.

Today I went swimming for the first time in over a year. I really want to get fit, but I can't be bothered to go to the gym, and it's cheaper to go swimming. I think some of the swimming men had nice bodies, but I couldn't tell because I obviously can't wear my glasses when I'm swimming and squinting at their chests isn't exactly subtle. Anyway, now my hair smells wonderfully of chlorine (I like the smell, I'm not being sarcastic) and I feel happy because I know I'm doing something now rather than sitting around snacking all day. (That's something I'm trying to cut down on, too. Eat more fruit.)

Ah, also did writing. First time in a few days, actually, so it's nice to know I've done some. I was starting to worry about dissociating from the project (again. It's a bad habit of mine.) I've gone for the court case scenario, anyone who knows what I'm talking about. It'll be hard, but hopefully rewarding in the end. For now I'll just have to read up on court procedure and stuff.
