Well, last Thursday it was the birthday of my youngest brother, he's turned 18 now.. My little brother... 18!! My little brother... an adult! That alone just makes me feel old now, he's supposed to be little, but he's like a big boy now!
Today his birthday was celebrated and at first we thought we couldn't go, but because not a lot of people were coming over my mom decided to pay our tickets and we could come over anyway! We got him a jar of sweets with a refill because not everything fitted in the jar and he liked it. So that's one thing already.
Other than that we had a really good day. I joined my parents and my brother and his girlfriend for a game of The Settlers of Catan. Yes, I put a link in there for the people who don't know the game ;) The game was very fun and we actually finished it for once too! While I was playing that game Dan was playing some Tetris on his DS and actually set a new high-score of over 2.6 million!!
After that we had a very nice chat with my mom about moving, which was very relaxing which is something pretty rare at my parents place! We did that while admiring the new study they made for Dick's new job and my mom's new therapists home practice.
All in all it may have been a loud day, but it certainly was a very fun day!
Other then that not a lot happened this week. We did however get our project back and the hospital is quite happy with it, we don't need to change a lot and they had quite a bit of positive feedback, which is always nice of course! So now all we've got to do is some minor changes, put the feedback in there and then hand it in on Monday.
Well, I don't really know what to add any more and I'm pretty tired too. It's not going to be fun to have an hour less sleep tonight! :(

Late!
Well, I'm a bit late with writing this time, but that's because I've been plagued by headaches the entire weekend. It feels very liberating to finally be able to move my head without it going absolutely crazy at me for moving!
We've found out that we can actually complain about loud music with the complex manager now :) They seem to have changed the rules and he's already doing his bestest best to get some people out of here because they're too disturbing! :D
Also, the interview I went to last week, I got the job and I'll be starting on the 28th of March! :D I will have a zero-hour contract till the 5th of December this year! By then we should be moving, and they took no objection to me leaving earlier if necessary either! :D
The project is going good so far too! We've done the interviews yesterday and are now ready to all write our 45 page essays... Not very much looking forward to that though! :P And the other project we should be getting back this week from the hospital with feedback :) The ethical discussion project we have to do is coming along just fine as well. The biggest problem or obstacle with that is that it all sounds sooooo vague! It's all just opinions, and the teacher even said he can't really make us not pass unless we give the wrong reasons for our opinions... Which just sounds so odd considering normally we have to keep our opinions to a minimum and only use proper articles to base our conclusions on!
The scarf is coming along very good! The second ball of yarn is nearly fully gone as well! I'm already looking for a next project, which is most likely going to be a pillow of some sort, but I'm not exactly sure what yet! I can't really find any good patterns on the web for one sadly :(

Stress!!
Pfff... So much work to do! Well, that is for school-work, the job is still not really doing what I expected :(
Next week we have to hand in the project at the hospital so they can give their feedback, so we need to finish it pretty fast now! Which was a bit of a struggle because we all had to write a lot of stuff, but we should have it done by Monday now, and in that case our teacher has offered to print it for us. Which is pretty cool because we need it twice and in colour and he doesn't really have to pay anything for printing at school!
This is however just one of the three projects we have to finish, so we've still got quite some work to do in the last three weeks of this semester..
The job I've got is just plain horrible... I've not been asked to work for two weeks in a row now.. This is going nowhere, so last Tuesday I sent a mail out to the place where I worked last summer and I've got an interview on Monday! :D Hope that goes fine and then we might actually get a stable income again! :D Can't wait for that..
The knitting is going very well! I had made a picture last week, but it's nearly twice as long now as it was then! In fact I'm nearly through my first ball of yarn! :D And it can nearly wrap once around Dan's neck, so there's progress! :D Though it's much longer now, I'll post the picture anyway!

Birthday!!
Today is my 22nd birthday! Jay to me! :D
I also had my first driving lesson today, just came home from that. My parents have been over last night and today a friend will come over and stay overnight.
First things first though: first driving lesson!
As a present of my parents I got a driving lesson, just a first one, no obligations afterwards luckily! It went very good, of course did some beginner mistakes and did not really keep myself to most of the rules!! Like going 70 km/hour where the maximum is supposed to be 50 km/hour, or not indicating when switching lanes etc. The instructor did make me do everything in the end, from steering, to changing gears and braking. Also, just straights, corners, roundabouts and crossings. About changing gears, very annoying, I kept on accidentally putting it onto 5 from 2 rather than 3..
Other presents I got from my parents is a magazine with some very nice knitting patterns and some different types of yarn needles.
Of Dan I got the X-men trilogy, the first season of Death Like Me, an absolutely awesome book on aquariums and aquarium fish and the best hat ever! Which is the one on the picture! You can't even see the best thing of it, it's got fluffy balls on the bottom of those small cords :D
We also received something that was called by Steven 'the food-parcel', it's absolutely awesome! It contained 6 packs of mini crème eggs! :D
