Living

All Uni timetables for this semester are sorted now.
Mayber it's a reflection on the degree that I'm doing, but
I'm off three days of the week! (lectures not spread
out,). I think I might take advantage of this by perfecting
the art of sitting on my arse and watching daytime
television. Hmm, or not, maybe.

I think I'm going to see if I can get a shift in work in
the week and then concentrate hard to do the coursework I
have on the empty days.

Just missed my first Screenwriting lecture. It was on
timetable as starting at 3, but apparently an e-mail was
sent out, correcting a mistake and saying it began at 2.
Just checked my e-mails now, and there isn't one there.
Hmm.

Upset Amy a bit last night. Went walkies for a few hours
after there was an awkward bit of time late last
afternoon. Talked to Gav online a little bit afterwards
and he labelled it, probably quite accurately as 'the
moving in together blues'.

I've been reluctant to talk about it on here; trying to
convince myself that maybe it wasn't happpening. But, I
think I'm coming to the conclusion that it was pretty
unavoidable. Myself and Amy talked about it for a while
before we moved in, but I don't think it could have
prepared us.

Before I make the whole thing seem like a huge issue, I'll
just say now that it hasn't been that bad. I mean, we're
not shouting in each other's faces, we're not smashing
plates, throwing possessions out of the window etc. It's
just sometimes, sometimes, it's hard not to tread on each
other's toes and there follows a period of awkwardness and
maybe a sprinkle of bitterness that lasts for a few
hours. I think when it happens, it's hard not to compare
it to times before when being in each other's company was
just great all of the time.

I'm not really thinking as I type, so this isn't going to
have much form to it. I suppose what it comes down to is
that: on top of all the extra responsibility of moving
in/out is the added task of trying to create a space to
live with someone else in 'perfect harmony'. I don't think
either of us have got the knack of it quite yet, but we're
working on it.
