  39. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Everything about nursing school is boring. What a waste. Honestly had I not maxed out not one but two card overdrafts (I know!!!) I would be out of here in a second. I’m not supposed to have a boring life. I miss dancing so fucking much sometimes it makes me want to cry. Still can’t quite believe the girls ditched me like that. I always knew Trace would do well enough for Oxbridge but honestly Franki at Goldsmiths? What do they even do there? Bet all she does is take ketamine and glue her pubes to a canvas. She sent me a care package with these terrible taxidermy postcards, a dry red rose and an old copy of Alice in Wonderland. Is that supposed to be ART or something? She can be so gross. So now Beadle is as good as it gets for me, in terms of mates.

Rome! I would’ve rather gone somewhere a bit more lively, like Ibiza, or I don’t know, Amsterdam. But I looked up prices for June and Spain costs crazy money cos it’s already high season and Amsterdam is always high season ha ha. I can just picture myself getting stoned alone while Beadle swoons over the beautiful tulips, so maybe it’s for the best we’re not going there either. Rome’ll have to do. I’m going to eat all of the ice cream and find myself a GLADIATOR for a boyfriend! That’ll show Franks! She may be an artist now but I bet my left tit she’s still boy crazy. Two whole weeks! Roma bambino!

OK, so, we’re off tomorrow! For real!

I’ve managed to convince Beadle to stay over at mine tonight so that it’ll be easier to get to the airport tomorrow. (Trace would say that I need her there to wake me up at 5 a.m. because I hold the World Record of Snooze Button Presses.) It’s also good because it gives me an excuse to tell Mike not to come over tonight. He was all upset. I don’t know WHAT he was thinking, that we were going to have a tearful goodbye? I’m only going away for two weeks. And then what? If he thinks we’re staying together over the summer then he is even dumber than I thought. I’m not spending the rest of my life with a lab rat (even if he looks hot in a lab coat).
