Is it over yet?

This week has gone so, so, so slowly! It seems like it's been weeks since we finished college for the summer but it's been about 5 days, I just hope the next 8 weeks don't got as slowly. Today i'm just sat around the house and dreading work tonight, because no doubt it'll be crap like it was last night, but i'll just have to keep thinking of the money and looking forward to my next day off (when ever that's going to be.)

The other day I did something thoroughly retarded that made me laugh quite a lot so I may as well write about it here. I was messing around with the voice controls on my laptop (e.g. you say "minimise that" into the microphone and it minimises the window you have open etc) and once i'd finished doing that I went back to typing and all the keys were typing numbers instead of letters and I didn't know why. I went through all the settings in the control panel and got really stressed out because I couldn't figure out what was wrong: I really did feel like just chucking the laptop against a wall and being done with it. Just as i was about to give up and smash the crap out of the laptop it struck me: the damn number lock was on. It really was a "palm to forehead" moment and i couldn't believe how stupid i'd been, but atleast i'll know next time.

I've been planning my European adventure for next year a bit more and i've decided on two alternative routes: one of them involves driving back home from Denmark via Eastern Europe while the other would mean selling my car in Belgrade and flying back to England. I really want to see the Balkans because it sounds really nice there, but similarly I want to see the Alps and Paris: but it'd be hard to see both in the time I have. I'll probably switch from one idea to another constantly for the next 12 months but I imagine it'll all come down to a spur of the moment decision somewhere in Hungary, so i'll just wait and see.

Pretty tired today and nothing really to say, so i'll leave it here. x
