We masterminded a surprise meal for H since she’s leaving us. It went so well she burst into tears when she saw us all there! We did almost muck it up since we arranged to go for “a drink” with H at 7.30 and S unknowingly arranged to go for “a meal” with H also at 7.30 – and she still didn’t notice the pattern – she just worried about how she was gonna fit everyone in! However despite our efforts we carried it off without a hitch and had a thoroughly nice evening.
I’m gonna miss her like crazy. Yes, it’s the end of term anyway and I’ll see her when I see L and K in August (L’s wedding), but still it feels icky. I’m also rather tipsy after a large glass of wine and a probably-quadruple vodka and coke (shows what a lightweight I’ve become). I think I’ve made her feel guilty about leaving since I told her in a drunken moment at the May Ball that I’d worked out my eternal bad mood was because she was leaving. We got her a little crystal heart pendant and Good Luck Bear (Care Bear) which is now named after our lecturer with whom H has been obsessed for a year (he’s very old but she thinks he’s sweet). Plus she has a card and a large collection of balloons to keep with her.
*pouts* I don’t want her to go. Pathetic but true. I feel like I’ve squandered the last year where I lived not a mile away from her and yet we had hardly any social events. Ironically we’ll probably do more now she’s 5 hours away.
Urg I think my lymph nodes are all puffy. Do humans have submandibular lymph nodes? I’d better not be coming down with something – I have 5 weeks of non-stop work experience coming up. Nurf.
* She had Apple Pie. I had Pecan. Both were rather nice. The Choc Fudge Cake was a mistake on K’s part though.
