Life, you may have noticed, seems to not so much swing but lurch rapidly from one extreme to the other. First I'm panicking because my A Level results are due, then celebrating madly (think screeching and jumping in circles) because I got AAB, which gets me into the uni I want to go to. Next thing I know, I'm celebrating even more with friends...until three in the morning, to be precise about the matter.

Unfortunately, Tuesday brought me back down to earth with a nasty bump, as I discovered that not only does all my accommodation for university Halls have to be sorted out withing a week, but the admin people have put me in the wrong kind of room. This, for complex and rather boring/depressing reasons I can't be bothered to elaborate on right now, would have rather scuppered things for me, and thus I sank back down into a slightly depressed state.

The other commiseration of note is that I very suddenly realised that an old group of friends are...to be honest, they're no longer really friends. It's strange, because I've known them for so long - since primary school - and I now don't really know what's happening with their lives, and they don't know about me. We're interested in different things. They intend to live in Devon for ever, with parters they've had for years, whereas I'm off to uni and am quite definately single. When we were at a mutal friend's wedding (who they're now close to - you can guess the similarities) every time I tried to talk to that group, I was pretty much shoved to the edge of things - literally, once or twice. It's a very strange and rather sad thing, to note that we now have nothing more in common than a shared history.

I can't do anything about that now. It's too late. Any attempts to meet up somehow slip away. Besides, if I really had any chance of getting close again, we would have talked at that wedding, instead of me getting virtually ignored - if not for some other good friends of mine, who were also there, I would have been utterly miserable.

Thankfully, after gods know how many phonecalls, emails and the like, the accommodation situation has finally been sorted out today. The future can be fixed, because it hasn't happened yet, as has so much to offer.

And, to celebrate my sister passing her GCSEs, the family are getting together and having a chinese takeaway tomorrow.

May the good times roll on for as long as possible.
