In which I turn 23 and apply for a bank loan
I turned 23 yesterday and it was delightfully fun. I was well over-spoiled yesterday and I had a delightful day with a
scattering of mundane activities like washing and bed-making. Mum and Dad got me lots of yummy New Zealand lollies, which I can never have enough of, and books and shower gel while Katie got me a wonderful “Kiwi Girl” t-shirt.
I got The Princess Bride on DVD, memory for my laptop, a beautiful All Blacks Silver Fern pendant, a novel, and a gorgeous frame with a photo of all my Passfield friends from everyone here so I’m feeling very loved and far far too spoiled!!
I took yesterday off study and relaxed with friends for most of the day. Cooked a yummy steak, mash, fried mushrooms and asparagus dinner (much nicer than relying on Passfield food) and then had amazing choclate cake and a berry roulade with friends. All in all a delightful day!
We’re going off to the bowling place that is just over the road on Friday night for a combined birthday celebration (it’s Verena’s birthday on Thursday). We’re not planning on bowling but it’s a reasonable venue with nice drinks and pool and foosball tables and a live band so should be good! I’ll try and take photos and send you them :o)
In my first proper day as a 23-year-old I applied for a rather large bank loan so that I can actually live while I write my dissertation. This is rather scary because if I don’t get it, I’m going to stop living in 7 weeks (well actually less but in 7 weeks I’m going to have to pay rent with my current no dollars). Frankly, I’m freaked.
Dinner time - the one meal I’ve already paid for 7 weeks in advance.
