#47

The short of it:

- my friend A is coming to the same school as me (!!!)
- I went to see Guardians for the second time (still awesome)
- also I saw the film Lucy today (also very very cool although sort of mind-blowing)
- my split-up friend-couple are still, well, good friends, I guess?
- my newly-a-couple-friend and his boyfriend are  a d o r a b l e 
- I just sorted out a lot of school-related stuff

and

- turns out my high school degree & matriculation papers are not lost after all! We were a bit worried with my parents for a little while there, ha. But it's good that they were found, now I can put them in my minuscule Drawer For Important Paperwork (i.e. random receipts/warranties, and miscellaneous certificates).

Mostly, I feel relieved right now. The certificates were found, and I managed to move forward on some school projects that I've been putting off. I think I might go to the campus library in the city centre tomorrow, maybe borrow some books, and then work there on my laptop for a while. Lord knows I have trouble working at home, so maybe that would be better. There are only a couple school-related things that I can't sort out right now and/or on my own at all, but I'll get to them as soon as I can book a meeting with my school counsellor. I'm sure everything will be fine in the end!

I spent a little while reading through the notes I've made in the spring for an assignment I've been sitting on (read: procrastinating) since early spring and damn, I've almost got it together! I only need to catch up on some recent law-related stuff and then I can type it out! Yas.

I also spent the weekend watching Star Trek movies with my parents, which was awesome. My War Horse DVD (yes, I finally found a reasonably-priced region 2 copy on Amazon! I should continue to use the UK version of the website in the future, too. Insert gratuitious reference to self) is on it's way, as well as my order of the deluxe OST to Guardians of the Galaxy! Seriously, that movie has so much good music in it, I can't even deal. The Captain America - Winter Soldier DVD should come out soon enough as well, I'm looking forward to eventually ordering Snowpiercer, and I already pre-ordered Only Lovers Left Alive, which is going to be released in September. The Hoard in preparation to our eventual Hiddleston marathon is building, dun dun.

Me and my parents went to get our passports and identity cards renewed a few weeks ago, and my passport already arrived. Now I'm just waiting on my ID card. The PIN codes for it also arrived already, but the card isn't here yet! They post the card and the codes separately to maximise security fr the recipient, since you can prove your identity for all kinds of official things with those, and apparently if you get your hands on a valid, functional ID card or passport, it's relatively easy to forge a fake one on top of it? In any case, 2/3 official envelopes have safely landed in their new home, so I'm not too worked up about that. Now the only thing I still need to get handled is getting new lenses and possibly a new prescription for my glasses... These babies are so scratched up I won't be able to see anything soon enough.

Anyway, I think I'm going to play RuneScape for a little while since I'm probably a bit too worked up to get a lot of good writing time in. I'll just go hunt down a plan regarding youth and children in our society first, so I can use it in my assignment!

Bye!
