Today, I hugged an idiot.

My stomach hurts, I'm tired and hugging an idiot made me feel rather giddy inside. I have the urge to hug a garden gnome right now. I won't though. Not only would I get weird looks sitting outside cradling a garden gnome to my buxom (ha!) we don't actually have any anyway. Life sucks.

Not.

I got two lollies today. TWO! I swear I could eat my own weight in lollipops, brownies and flapjacks (that's a lot as well, I'm very heavy.)

Would do absolutely nothing for my self-image but goodness, that would be so, so delicious.

Oh, I forgot about my mocha/gingerbread latte from Costa. That's also important.

Do you know when bad things happen and you feel really down for quite a while afterwards. Then things feel brighter and happier again. I'm wondering why things have reverted back. Maybe I'm just being too pensive and melancholy at the moment. Maybe it's just because today has been quite cloudy. I thrive off sunshine.

It is a bit sunny though, yay.

Today I decided to apply to be a Student Mentor. I remember when I started Newman, I acted completely out of character and just threw myself in. Inside, I was terrified. What if my friends from All Hallows ditched me? What if no one else liked me? What if I became some freak loner who ended up failing or dropping out?

Thankfully, none of that happened. I stayed friends with most of my old friends (infact, some of those friendships have improved greatly) and made some wonderful, wonderful new ones. In the mean time, I also managed to keep on top of all my work and have a good time.

But, it was scary. Really, really scary. Some people will have it a lot worse than me too. I feel like I owe it to Newman anyway, I'm a much happier, more confident person than I was mere months ago.

I like helping people too. :)

Besides, Heather's starting Newman in September. I'll have an excuse to stick to her like glue without looking like a right weirdo.

Tomorrow, I will become a work of art <3! Clara's painting me with a magnifying glass infront of my eye for her art exam. It's disturbing on soooooo many levels!

& I pick up my new glasses. I've managed to wear them all day without chucking them across the room in a "I don't see why I need to wear them all the time, dammit!" paddy.

:)
