My mother has recently been awarded her PhD and because for years and years she has been up on her feet; working full time, having my sister and me to drive us everywhere, house work and her PhD. It has been an ongoing strain on her mental and physical state. It had started to take it's toll and she had to get an operation. As none of our close family members had never undergone and general anesthetic, we were all on edge for a while. My mother is not an optimistic person and she was not confident about it. She'd make jokes about not surviving the operation and I could tell that she had truly thought that that would happen to her. She said, "things like that never seem to go right for me" and it scared the hell out of me. I kept my positiveness and reassured her about it. The day of the operation was as painful as ever. When I saw her after the operation, I have never been so relieved in my life. It wasn't a good experience for any of us to go through but now she is better off and we all appreciate her more even though we thought we did a lot already. We are all so glad that the operation went so well and so is she!
It's that time of year again for exams. I am feeling much better about everything this year. Last year was ridiculous and I didn't cope well at all. Hopefully everything will turn out alright - I am positive which is good and people have been shocked about how much better I am handling it. Exams effect me so much. I still am very stressed about them and I broke my retainer braces due to me clenching my teeth in my sleep and strange dreams to do with exams and not being able to get to sleep because I'm trying to think through everything but it's not every night so I'm glad about that! I have 4 exams this year and my first is on the 21st of this month. I have been working hard for all my subjects so I hope the exams will go well. I'll be glad when they are all over and then I can enjoy a long summer holiday in which I plan to get a job, pass my driving test and have parties.
Today has been very exciting. We have been looking for flats for a few months now and we had a flat that we had offered for but we didn't get it. We were all disappointed but it obviously wasn't for us. I had then thought; by the looks of the way the market is; less and less flats available and the ones that are on the market are way outwith our budget, we haven't got much chance of getting a flat this year. I was beginning to look in to alternatives when my mother had received a phone call asking if we were still interested in a flat that had been taken off the market briefly and so we said yes and went to view it. Basically, long story short, we have the flat! This means that my boyfriend and me have officially got our first flat together. It's in a marvelous location, good sized rooms and a lovely well-kept garden. We are so excited!
I can't wait!
