I've been teaching myself to play the guitar using my brother's old primary school guitar (It still has a sticker with his name on the back!) which is really really fun. It's shocking how many pop songs follow the same chord pattern though, then again it's nice being able to strum away to familiar songs. The only thing I'm not liking about this new found hobby is the fact the my fingers hurt like crazy! I suppose people who play all the time are used to it, but it's really annoying! Anyway, that's been a nice achievement for me this week, and it beats TV.
Sunday was Tom's 18th birthday dinner and it was a lot of fun spending the evening out with my favourite people. It seems as though Tom (and Laura!) have been 17 for sooo long that I can't quite believe he's 18 now and Laura will be on Friday. I'm sure they've been more aware of this long stretch of not-yet-18-ness that I have though. So we had a nice dinner and drinks in the pub garden, then we strolled over to the racecourse to chill out and inevitably, sing. To be fair, we did manage to pull off a nice barbershop-esque version of happy birthday!
By the time George dropped me and four others home (the angel that he is) it was 1am, and I had a job interview the next day... after a terrible night's sleep the alarm went off at 6am and I felt like crying, but I was so scared of being late that I got up and left. I was going to Waitrose in Godalming, which is three train journeys away. The plan is that when I'm at University it'll be much closer. My second train was delayed, meaning I missed the third, so I had to fork out for a taxi to get me there on time! £20 that inerview cost
Last thing - I'm so excited about this Friday! It's Laura's 18th so we're going to Reading to christen her adulthood! Still fitting about what to wear and how much my feet are going to hurt wearing my high heels, but it'll be worth it!!!
