And so. The end is near.

Well, so I officially finished exams on Monday. Wuhey. Not a lot has changed.

Thursday I saw Simon Amstell, he was amazing and I was a wee bit drunk, hence laughed rather loudly at some inappropriate things. Worry the guy sat beside me was judging me.
Headed to Rose Street with Georgie for our friend Ben's birthday, and then went to Jazz Bar (as per) when the pub closed. Got chatted up by a peculiar man with an Eastern European accent. As per.

Somehow have no recollection of the weekend...
I know I worked at Georgie's for a while on Sunday.
Other that it appears I have done little more than watch Grey's Anatomy and play Bubble Witch Saga.

Monday we had exam. It was a practical Zoology exam, which meant heading between desks containing either live things, preserved things, bones etc... then identifying and answering questions on them. Not bad as we got to take notes in.
After that just sat in the meadows all day, had a few pints at Teviot then crashed.

Yesterday I played hours and hours of poker. Then started a painting.

Today I finished a painting. Had lunch in the park with the medics - BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVE EXAMS HAR HAR HAR.
And this eve I plan to cook a Moroccan inspired veg stew, with cous cous. Split a bag trying to load up all my crap in Lidl and got another free bag for my troubles.

Richard and Oli have gone home, and Owen is revising so my flat is sad and empty.
Sarah is in St Andrews, Charlotte in Glasgow, Georgie and Pete have exams, Gavin has a job AND I'M ALL ALONE.
Yesterday I cleaned. Like, hard.
Living room, kitchen, my room, hallway. I washed all the blankets, tea towels. I mean, I properly cleaned.

Will, that is cat is amazing.
And I want to do something exciting, but then I'm also busy.
But then 24 hours is not longest period of time.

After having a look at my summer, I don't think I'm gonna by able to make it to Eden, and hence am subject to the wrath of Georgie.

Plan:
Stay in Edinburgh until:
GLASGOW - 30th May, ish.
ARRAN - 31st of May.
EDINBURGH - sometime around the 6th of June.
NEWCASTLE - when Cath finishes her exams.
CHESTERFIELD - 9th ish of June, for my Dad's birthday.
SWINDON - 11th / 12th ish of June.
CROATIA - whenever that may be, should really check dates.
And then back to EDINBURGH for the 2nd of July for my placement.
Busy Jubs doesn't get a summer.
Which is why everyone should visit me, or I'll get Kitten Krazy. (It's a thing. I swear. Brought on by Kitten withdrawal.)

I would like to Eden, but it would essentially mean no Swindon fun times, as I'd have to head straight back up to Scotland after Chesterfield.

On a Scotland-is-actually-really-quite-awesome note, have any of you heard of Limmy's Show?
Glaswegian funnies.
I have been told not to watch the actual TV series, as some of it is shite, but just to stick to the sketches on YouTube, as people usually only upload the gooduns.


And a cat for luck:
