i hate goodbyes

first in, last out. that's about me. i'm moving out from darroch court for good tomorrow in the morning. i'll take my suit case and say "goodbye" to darroch. sad. i have already taken some of my stuff to laura's flat, where i am going to stay for at least two weeks.

i remember the day i moved in to 7/1 darroch. saturday, 9th of september. i was a first person to collect keys to my flat. now i'm leaving as the last one. weegy stephen moved out almost two weeks ago, fadhil did it on saturday, paul yesterday, ed today in the morning. that means i had to do the worst thing - defrost and clean a freezer and fridge in our kitchen. bastards!

yesterday, we had a nice evening. i mean me, ed, liam, laura and sophie. we spent it hanging out together, drinking rum, eating chineese take-away, chatting ... etc. i'll miss such get-togethers. next one in september.

what else? i got a job! actually, i got two jobs, but i had to reject one. so, i was offered a vacancy in a french restaurant (café rouge, on frederick street) and starbucks. i had two trials in café rouge on friday and today. a manager told me i did a good job, though i still have to learn a lot of things. i'm starting working full time on friday. it's gonna be very busy. huh, a bit scary, but i have to get used to it. after all this restaurant is so close to princess street. there is one downside of working there, though. one guy from a bar is a pain in the arse. i don't like him and i think he doesn't like me either. grrr! i'll try to be friendly but if he really pisses me off... then i'll talk to him like a man talks to a man. haha! hope, i won't have to do that.

right, i have to finish packing my stuff. have a great summer, everyone (whoever reads this blog) !!!!!

long time, no word

high time to update. so, i sat my last exam on friday a week ago. management accountancy was not as bad as i thought it would be. i feel i did pretty well. i managed to answer fully a long quantitative question! essay topics were not that difficult as well. i hope i'll get a good mark for accounting.

then, when it was all over, there was a time to celebrate. well, a couple of days, actually. that meant going to pubs, clubs and, generally, lazing around and doing useless stuff.

i was working this week quite a lot, too. on thursday i was serving at a posh party in balerno. huh! people threw a party for their 80 friends only to celebrate the fact that they got a new gate. and it wasn't even a front gate! lol! merely one in the back of the garden. so, they had a reason to invite their posh friends and pay 38,000 quids for it!!! on friday i was serving at the annual scottish law society party in the signet library. on saturday - the poshest party of the poshest i've ever worked at - the lord high commissioner's garden party in the holyrood palace. basically, it was an event with royal family members, including prince andrew. haha! i had much fun seeing all those elderly women wearing high-heels and big hats being blown away by wind from time to time.

what else? i think i'm going to stay in edinburgh for at least two months. i began to look for some job for the summer. haven't found anything so far, unfortunately. i have this catering job, but i want to change it. i'm looking for something more stable with fixed hours. hopefully, next week i'll have more luck.

yesterday evening was great! the official 'end of term party' @ potterrow. the big cheese - just like in the freshers' week. many people from darroch court came up. it was so cool to see everyone together before they go home. after the party guys and i went to the parliament for random talks and generally reminiscing all that's happened to us this year (with all its ups and downs it was a great year, i'll never forget it). we came back to our hall after 4 am, soon before downing.

survey

a short survey, merely one question:

does any one ever read this blog ???

yeah, so if you do, let me know. comment on my posts or just write your name. even simple "me!" would do if you want to stay kind of anonymous (i can still check your ip, haha, this is my higher power)

vivat maj, 3 maj! a ty, justin, graj nam, graj!

so this week i had a guest. ola came to edinburgh on monday and left to birmingham today in the morning. on monday we had a short tour of edinburgh. went to the princess street, royal mile, holyrood park, princess gardens ... etc. in the evening that day, together with other people from darroch, we went to le monde, too. next day? on tuesday we went to the edinburgh zoo for most of the day. we saw nesting pinguins laying their eggs, had fun watching indocile monkeys, tauched cold snakes and mocked noisy parrots. wednesday was a rather quiet day. ola and i went up the royal mile to the edinburgh castle as well as climbed the arthur's seat from where we had a picturesque view on edinburgh, lothinan, pentland hills, firth of forth and even fife. we spent at least two hours sitting on the summit, talking about old good days and watching planes landing in and taking off from the airport, ships coming to the port... it was a great time. and i had someone who i could speak to in my mother tounge.

and then - thursday, a culmination day. ola and i went to glasgow to a justin timberlake's "the 2007 futuresex / loveshow" concert. it was fantastic! i've never been a huge fan of him, but now i've changed my mind. i think he did a great job. the show i saw was amazing. i loved the songs ("what goes around", "sexyback", "cry me a river", "rock your body" and "damn girl"), scene, dancers, choreography, place (the secc). i had a good time there and, undoubtfully, the money i paid for the concert was worth it. justin rocked in glasgow yesterday!
