Last few days have been very busy, only with things I want to be doing as opposed to things I ned to be doing.

Watched Pride and Prejudice yesterday and loved it, it has been too long since I've read it so I didn't really notice inconsistencies and what not which is good. Keira did well in my opinion, certainly better than I thought she would (Though I find it funny when she is meant to be the 'plainer' sister, because...well) and Mathew MacFadyen made an excellent Darcy. The music and the sets were gorgeous and it just had the right sort of atmosphere. Bingley was just so cute and Jane was quite perfect, in a fresh sort of innocent way. Mr Wickham looks like Orlando Bloom which is weird. I heart Jane an awful lot but I do wish Kitty and Lydia didn't giggle quite so much. I adored Mr Bennet, but then again I always have. As a final thought I wished there had been a Darcy/Elizabeth kiss, because the ending with Mr Bennet's prolonged laughter bordered on the creepy.

I also went shopping (Again, I should really stop this) and nearly found a suit for uni that fits me, I've been having problems with that, all the jackets are either too big or the sleeves are too short and if they fit I can't find a maching skirt. I bought one from GAP of all places, but my mum dissaproves and so will be rturning the jacket shortly. Argh! It is so annoying needing a suit from Uni, I am running out og places to look.

However yesterday I received three postcards from my college parents!!! I though I didn't have college parents, and was sad about that but I do and they are lovely. My father is doing Classics and Russian and my mother PPE, I also have a brother. The postcards are completely full with writing and I have been offered biscuits and in a round about way condoms...

Will soon be in possession of my computer (we bought a new hard drive), it wil be empty but at least I will have time to get things onto it before I go, and we could still possibly extract things from the old hard drive.

I do miss the internet you.

You get college parents?! Are they Third Years or something? And a brother? WTF?

What's with the suit? Or is it an Oxford thing?

Not sure, probably. The brother must be someone else who gets them as his parents. I think the whole idea is kind of cute actually :D

Yes it is. And yes it is stupid.

Oh, i'm sorry you're mum didn't approve of the jacket, my mum didn't approve of the dress so i took it back and exchanged it for a jumper.
Are you going to buy that other 80 pound jacket that we saw in zara, or the one in mango? They were both cute, but it depends on how much you are willing to spend...
I guess you can try and find something in London tomorrow, have a great time, bye!

Aww, I loved that dress! My mum thought the jacket was too big, we got the Zara one instead, it is expensive but it fits beautifully.

Thank you, I will! And you have a good time...in school. :D

Hi, I'm Katia and I'll be doing PPE at Univ, it's really nice to meet you! Since I am an ickle first year and all, I like meeting as many Oxford people as possible. Just out of curiosity, how did you find me?
