Good: I think I've found a flat. It'll take a week or two before the reference (actually, a guarantee from my parents) clears and I can sign the lease, but it's a lovely little place just off Leith Walk, with a gorgeously spaceous kitchen * that's also a dining room, a sitting room with two brand new sofas: one red sofa bed and one white (!) three-seater, and a bedroom with a skybed! Excellent! The bathroom is insanely small, and this British habit of putting carpet in the bathroom confuses me, but it has a proper bath, electric shower, and a toilet, and the whole place has been recently refurnished, including spanking new kitchen stuff, so I don't even need much in the way of kitchen appliances.
* Keep in mind that when I say "spaceous" I mean, compared to my old place. Those of you who've seen the place (that'd be the Belgians and elfie, really) know that doesn't say much. But still.
Also good: I had my "halfway excercise" today, which is this sort of test-that's-not-a-test at the halfway point of my training, and I aced it! Missed some questions because of inaccurate phrasing of questions/wrong information in the database, and two because I didn't read the questions correctly (story of my life), but overall, I did great. I'm also over a full day ahead of my training schedule, so I've been getting compliments lately. Yay! *preen*
Bad: I have a terrible headache that doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and I fear another migraine attack. Arrrgh.
SO MUCH WITH THEW YAY: England - Portugal tonight! Must go buy credit for mobile phone so as to spam certain people with text messages.

Last time I was supporting the other team since Club Brugge's goalkeeper Butina... Uhm... Like... Let your guys score four times :-(
Whatever, I'm out for tonight so feel free to let me know how the match ended.
Also, congrats on the new place. Why do they need your parents for ? Proof that you are potty trained ? Last time I checked, you looked mature enough though ;-P
The portuguese make flat fries, the english bake fat chips, what kind of food do the scotts have ?

Oh no !
The Portuguese goalie will be the star of the game. First stopping a ball bare handed, then scoring the winning goal.
Ok, now I have cast my piece of Evil too, you're excused.
I think Melle will crawl from under her sofa in half an hour or so.

Melle, you live in Scotland now, liking English football is a big no-no! :)
