Back in Essex!

Well I came home last night to see some of my wonderful girlfriends and to get my prom dress for the Economics Society Winter Ball (no I haven't suddenly switched courses, I'm going as Alex's plus one.). Spent the night round my best friend's house (I've known her for 14 years) and gossiped with my lovely girlies. Of course there were lots of giggles.

I haven't done much today and it's been fabulous. I got in and watched brand new Big Bang Theory, Casualty and Rolf's Animal Clinic. All of my favourite programmes, and on a proper TV! Had an amazing roast dinner (nut roast of course, as we are vegetarians) followed by syrup sponge pudding. I think I'm still full up now, which makes it worse than I then made my mum find some leek and potato soup that she'd made and frozen. It took AGES to defrost but it was so worth it. I didn't realise just how much I was missing my mum's cooking.

I'm going back to good old Norfolk tomorrow and I have mixed feelings about it. I sort of want to stay for longer but then at the same time I'm itching to get back. I have done no reading this weekend at all so am very very behind; I just can't seem to get anything done at home. The telly's always on, or there's always someone to talk to, since I'm one of four siblings. I'll have to stay up as late as possible tonight then read on the train as well. Hopefully I won't get travel sickness (eek).

Tried on my prom dress earlier, and to my dismay I have got ever so slightly fatter since year 11. There's something about wearing a long evening dress though, I felt all princess-y. Come to the conclusion that I will need something to wear over my shoulders as it's probably going to be pretty chilly by the 3rd December. Also I am wearing open-toed sandals; WHYYY?!??!!? 

I really need to get on with reading Dickens, Coetzee and Chaucer. Oh my, it's going to be a long night.

Here's a picture of me looking plump and short in the dress I will be wearing to the Winter Ball.
