OMG! 20! *faints* I don't want to be an adult, let me stay a teenager! Twenteen here I come! (let me keep my delusions for now)
Two decades old, how very scary. And I seem to be looseing touch with more people as I get older, I have only had one proper seen-as-birthday present and it is from the girl housemate who I have been having disaggrements with. Very strange indeed O_o Though I am thinking it is only because I got her birthday presents in April and she wasn't a close friend of mine in December last year so it is a bit of paying back. I mostly get a joint bday-xmas pressents from friends which btw is very unfair as I have to get people bday and xmas presents if they have them not close to chirstmas. But one of my friends is three days younger then me and we have decided to get eachother proper presents but I won't see her until the 20th as we go to different universities. However I don't feel sad about having less friends then I have had, I mean I do know people and some I count as friends but not the close enough to give presents kind, last year since it was the first year of uni and people were all too cheery to make friends and give presents I had to buy for so many people I spent over a hundered pounds, it was ridiculous. But I have my family and really they are the best, I count them as closer to me then any friend I have ever had.

I have a few things I would like to do before I am twenty-one:
Finish and get in line to have my novel published (the first in a series)
Get a 2.1 in my class as I am currently 2.2 - 3rd, and I need at least a 2.1 to do the masters
Sort out my priorites in life.
Get a summer helping job at the local day-care/nursary group for work experiance.

Oh yeah, I still want to be a novelist but I am being realistic here I could wait years untill I get published and in the meantime I need to get money so I am doing my three years (hopefull four if I can get into the masters) and then do a year of teachers training and work in a primary school (infants hopfully) so I can be a teacher. Of course a writer is still my main goal and if I can get enough from a first novel to not have to work straight away and I can spend a year properly on my sequel to get lots of money that is always the best ^_^

Anyway. 20 on the 16th!! *scream of terror*
