Oh Happy Day!

Dear Diary,

FINALLY!! Finally after waiting 4 days more than I should have, my results are through. My uni results. You may or may not be glad to hear that I, after re-sits, re-enroling and toiling, am now the proud owner of a Second-Class degree!! Although I strangely don't feel all that bothered about it to be honest - I've been waiting to hear so long, I've sorta took it for granted that I passed. Ach, well. I have an actual official degree! Yes, it's a "Lower Second" (2:2) and yes my re-submitted work turned out to be shit despite all the effort I put in over the summer. But fuck it, to quote the wonderful Jez from "Peep Show" - "I didn't go to uni to get a degree!"

Today I had a revelation. Just as I was sinking into my usual mid-afternoon lethargic "Oh my god, everything is really quite shit, still" state of rubbishness, something clicked in my mind and I realised something. Quite a few things, actually.

• Whilst being "technically" unemployed, I still have a regular job and income (even if it's small).
• I live with my loving (if not nagging) parents who have not yet kicked me out.
• Therefore: I have a roof over my head and I don't have to pay everytime I want to wash or eat stuff.
• I have an actual real boyfriend who not only doesn't care that I'm a jobless slacker, but also isn't scared of my strange mannerisms, finds my weird laugh hilarious, and embraces my kinky side (forgot to mention, he's found a very exciting website to look at - Collaredncuffed.com - something to think about!).
• I have a degree.
• I've had so many extra shifts this week that I have LOADS of wages coming through next week.
• Therefore, can almost DEFINATELY afford to go see Michael Jackson at the O2, not only LIVE, not only for the last time ever (possibly) but also on the same day as Kyle - not to mention engaging in a hotel/London extravaganza!

So yeah, having had this revelation, I've come to the - if somewhat brief and fleeting - conclusion that, so far, Life is SWEET. I don't know what it is, but everything just finally feels like it's coming together for me at last. Maybe in 6 months I'll have a well-paid job and a flat! Maybe I'LL be able to take JOE out for once! (Although, I have organised a picnic for Saturday, and so far done ALL the preparation myself!) Maybe Jacko will release another album! A COMEBACK album! Maybe someone will finally write back to me, saying; "Kat, your script is magnificent. Please come work for us."

Maybe everything's going to be wonderful after all!!!!
