On the Up
It really is remarkable just how much things have improved around here. My friends are still annoying me, but I think that's my fault for not being tolerant enough. I'm not quite sure why I seem to have switched this on anyway, as only a month or so ago there wasn't much of a problem. Maybe I just like being miserable.
But the atmosphere in the house is much better now. I'm sitting in my room at the moment, and it's so much better to not have to hear my Enemy in the room next door to mine through the paper thin walls constantly laughing and jeering at the latest episode of Cheers he's decided to watch for the ninth time. He's gone for good. The acceptance of this has settled into my head now, and it makes me a lot happier.
Sure, it probably means I'll spot some other smaller problems and start picking on them, but I suspect I can deal with those a little better. The past eight months have been a constant struggle with my sanity just because he pissed me off so much. I was always having to carefully manage when I left my room to go to the kitchen, or vice versa, so I didn't happen to bump into him on the way as just his presence was enough to stoke my anger. I shouldn't have had to do that. It's mostly ruined my enjoyment of what should be the best year in University, and I'm deeply regretful of that.
But I can't dwell on it. It's been a nasty chapter, and I hope I can now close it off and get down to finishing off this year. In exactly a month's time today, my exams will be over and I'll be free for the summer. And on that issue, there is also good news in that I have been accepted for the Camp America thing. It looks like my summer plans are now sorted, which is a great relief. I've spent other summers inbetween school years mostly sitting on my arse all day while the sun shined brightly. So it will make a pleasant change to actually do something worthwhile and interesting in a faraway land.
So life is getting better. I thought it would be best that I write about this extremely rare moment as it probably won't last! One for the archives, I think.
