redfiona99Facebook is useful when trying to find out what's happened to your old school friends. Take E, for instance, I sat next to her in GCSE history. When we were 17, she ran away to her Dad's in Scotland avec her new boyfriend. She was threatening to get married and have kids. Everyone predicted that it would end in tears. Thankfully, 6 years later, it doesn't appear to have. She's still married and they have a lovely daughter, who thankfully takes after her mother. I have no idea why, but it makes me happy that she seems to be happy, doing what she wanted to do back then.
I am feeling particularly old right now though, because, due to some residential complications, I am in halls. Now across from me is a Masters student who I'm having to hope is a mature student because otherwise there are masters students who look full grown that are younger than me.
Part of the problem is that I look quite young for my age and that everyone I work with is older than me, so I assume people are older than they are and well, the freshers were born in a different decade than me, and we have some really odd conversations about the tellytubbies. They're confounded by me not having watched them.
