In which Demi sets her alarm clock again.

Back to my original Leeds PR placement for two more weeks. I had absolutely no sleep last night, probably because I was terrified I'd sleep in til 12 like I have been doing and miss my 8.45am bus. At least my hours aren't bad; 10-5.30ish, with an hour for lunch.

Spent my lunch hour desperately running around the department stores in town in search of a make-up primer replacement. I've used a Philosophy primer for about 5 years and it's suited my skin well, but I've realised that they've stopped making it and I can't get it anywhere!! Cue my frantic search before the true nature of my skin is revealed, wahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Just kidding. Sort of.

In other beauty-related news, Garnier's new BB Cream was a total let-down, and my hair has grown far faster than expected and is now almost waist-length. Guess I'm gonna have to shell out on a non-student-priced cut down at our local over-priced salon... Boo.

Hair up and out of the way = happy Demi

Gahhhhhhhh too much hair!
In less than a month I will be back in Nottingham!! Wahhhhhhhhhhh, SO EXCITED. This summer has gone crazy fast, and I don't even feel that relaxed! What with crazy builders and working more weeks than I've had off, it's a good job that I have few hours next year.

...Too few to be honest. My course is stupid value for money. This year I'll be taught only 6 hours a week. For 3 and a half grand. Now I'm no mathematician, but even I can tell that that's BAD.

This past week I caught up with my gay best friend who isn't gay, but might as well be. Case in point, he had Tangled all set up for us to watch before I even got there. "I got us the new Disney, I heard it's really good!" Ahhh, there are so many reasons for me to love that boy!

I also had a lovely catch-up with my crazy high-flying lawyer gal S., who me and A. went to visit in Cambridge in this post. She's just finished an internship at one of the 'magic circle' law firms in London. Not that I could name them, but we're talking the big guns, I know that much. I'll let her charge on ahead, with her 4hrs sleep a night and ridiculous amounts of stress and work, while I bob behind her steadily.

Thennnnnn our family Bank Holiday plans were scuppered as my Dad got called off to Europe by his boss, as he is prone to do (with 24hrs notice half the time...). Sad times. So me, my little sister and Mum all sat and played an extremely competative game of Scrabble, followed by a movie fest with lots of treats. Perfect :)

I hope everyone's well! I'll try and update later this week to fill you guys in on how the placement goes. xo.

6 hours taught, yes. But lets be honest, with the amount of reading involved, plus the extra reading and the research and the essay writing...we might as well move to the library now.

...So by that logic, we're paying to sit in a library. Which is free. Wow, we're generous. And stupid!
