People think I'm being funny and just ranting over nothing but my dad has now decided to get rid of our wooden frame, stain glass windows and go for plain plastic, double glazed ones. I love my windows, they've been a part of my life for 20 years now and they make the house, my house! and my room, my room! without them it just won't be the same! And the other problem is my window shape just won't be the same! Anyway, the other problem is because of the way my room is there's no way you can really get to the window (Picture a box, if you will-slightly elongated at the ends and a window is at one end. Now the window has two large windows at the bottom and two smaller windows at the top with a cross like shape in-between them. then in front of the window there is the end of a high bed, with a large wooden desk under it. Then on the other side is a bookcase, full of books bottom and top.) So Today I had to make some room for the guy to come and measure up the windows and the only way he could do that was for me to move my bookcase, so I first made my bed and moved everything off my floor and then I emptied my bookcase and then moved it into my brothers' room. then my dad tells me that my window sill must be emptied too! and what have I just done with all my books/dvds? stacked them in the only space I can reach the far end of my window sill from. So I had to clear the other corner and then I slightly moved everything forward. So now hopefully a tape measure can go in the gap. So that's done! but when they come to fit the windows my room will have to be emptied and stripped. So I know my room needs to be tidy and stuff for all my uni things to go in there, so I'll use that to do this, but it now seems I'm going to be at uni till I must move out Sunday 28th June, because I don't want to be round when they do the windows....it'll be just too heartbreaking for me and I won't be able to sleep in my room before and after too. My brothers' will have to sleep in the tent outside and my parents in the living room. So I'm having to stay, which really doesn't bother me because at least the choice has now been made for me! The other thing is that hopefully the windows will be fitted on Thursday/Friday which is my last days at uni anyway, in time for me to move back and also for my birthday party!!!!! which is on Saturday 4th July 2009. My birthday's on the Thursday 2nd July!!!!!!!!!! So hopefully everything will go okay there! I know it has to be done but it hurts and I'm trying to make people understand but its hard.......mum and dad understand it-they like our windows too-but of course there are some good sides to the new windows 1. no more painting the frames, easily clean and no rotting/leaking, keeps warm air in, looks nicer/more modern and of course the house can be sold for slightly more if the time ever comes.
So I'm glad to be back at uni now -no more cleaning and fighting! I can just look after me, which is so what I need right now! anyway plans for tomorrow have been set -watching the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy!!!! Should be fun and I can spend the next four weeks loving my crazy student life of my first year.
