Why my Easter is going to be boring

I've decided it's time for another attempt at this blog malarky. Mainly because I have an urge to rant about politics, but also because I am revising and feel I need another form of procrastination. At least this one allows me to practice forming sentences (a skill I feel I am losing with all this note making!)

So. It's April 2010. I'm in Basingstoke, on what is probably my last ever Easter holiday, as this time next year I will be on clinicals (fingers crossed!).
My life is currently dominated by revision. I have been doing OK so far, and mostly meeting targets, although I've been struggling a little, and it's a fairly easy subject I'm currently tackling (Clinical Laboratory Sciences) so it could all go Pete Tong yet.

My friendship group in Basingstoke has dwindled to say the least. When I lived here full time, I had a boyfriend, about whom I was very serious. I was pretty much set on marrying him. This meant that my friendship group mostly became a set of 4 couples:

• Me and James. Finished over a year ago. We're still mates. He's currently in Portugal on holiday.
• Kim and Joe: Kim is my Best Friend in the World. Joe is one of James' mates. They met through us, and were together for a long time, but broke up a few months ago. Kim is now in Turkey, working as a beauty therapist (and I miss her loads already!) Joe is returning to Uni on Monday.
• Lissy and Sam: Still together. If they ever break up I will lose my faith in love. They are also returning to Uni on Monday, and have lots of work to do, so I haven't seen them hardly at all yet. Bad times.
• Dave and Adele: Still together (we'll ignore the blip). Dave now lives and works in London. Del's family moved away to somewhere near Gatwick (the place name refuses to stick in my head) so I very rarely see them. This makes me sad.

In addition to these couples, my other best friends were Steph (who is currently lambing for her RVC course), Maller (who is back from Scotland til Wednesday) and some others like Jordy (who I sadly haven't seen in ages).

The point I am trying to illustrate is that in a week, my only best friend left in Basingstoke will be James. I'm wondering how and why this happened.

Still, I'm planning on a trip to Pompey to see Joe, Sam and Lissy. And hopefully it will benefit my revision.

Speaking of which, I need to learn about the molecular control of the cell cycle (joy of joys). My politics rant will have to wait.
