So an update on my life as of right now:

I've been working A LOT and will actually get paid finally on Wednesday (I missed the cut off point for payroll in February by 2 days!) which can't come too soon! I have pretty much already allocated all my pay so no shopping for me next month, especially since I have 8 days holiday booked for various things; engagement parties, rugby matches, public transport strikes when the folks are on holiday and I can't get to work...

The most exciting bit of news probably is that I was offered an unconditional place on the Psychological Research Methods MSc that I had applied for. So as of September I have to try and find a way of juggling work and the course for the next 2 years....My plan is to switch to long days at work. At the moment I work 7 and a half hours a day, 5 days a week. By switching to long days I will work from 7am to 9:30pm 3 days a week and then have time to go to uni, do any necessary work and/or reading plus try and have a life (which I don't have at the moment). It sounds like a lot but I'm going to ease myself in gently by doing 1 long day a week from the beginning of May and then eventually get up to the dreaded 3 days a week. Work for the MSc has started already: I let it slip at the interview that I hadn't covered an integral part of the course in detail before so I have been kindly sent a reading list in preparation. It may only be 2 books to my relief but when one of them costs £85 that initial relief quickly turns sour! To be honest I am quite looking forward to the challenge of being a student and working. I am one step closer to that dream job and after this 2 years I am set pretty much.

It was my birthday on the 13th March (yes I was born on a Friday too!) and I spent the morning at work and then the evening with a chinese and comic relief. After the boring events of my actual birthday I was surprised by a trip to London and more importantly the Comedy Store by Le Boyfriend to see Russell Howard (among others). It was probably one of the greatest nights of my life because I absolutely love RH to the point that I would leave Le Boyfriend if I was propositioned by him!

That is pretty much it for an update at the moment, it's late and I want to go to bed before getting up at 5 tomorrow morning to get ready for work. Look forward to proper updates and things later on this week!
