excellent. they came and regrouted the kitchen floor again this morning and when we got home this afternoon it's still not right. we still have no kitchen. i'm tired. i'm sick of not being able to eat at home. the cg and i have just had a blazing row and he's walked out of the apartment. i can't remember that ever happening. this is before they even start on the real work which is the bathroom.

i hope to god i'm not pregnant right now because the stress i feel is not good for me and certainly wouldn't be good for a baby. i got home from work today and found that the floor tiles have been regrouted but it looks even worse this time. Not to mention the fact that one of the tiles has been chipped. i'm not going to mention how much we paid for these tiles because it's a crazy fucking amount. nothing else in the apartment has been touched. the kitchen appliances are still in the dining room and after 2 weeks we still can't sit on a couch and relax. i feel physically sick and tired. the moment this reno is done i'm selling and getting the fuck out of here. i'm done. life is too short to deal with this shit.

someone is finally moving into the office space opposite my window in the adjacent tower block. my fingers and toes are crossed for a male modelling agency.
is it too cliche or passe to say "thank god it's friday".

so i'm reading this article from the american political science review about the strategic logic of suicide terrorism (an interesting article by the way) and it suddenly occurs to me that going to university at 18 (as most people in britain do) is a pretty damn stupid idea. at 18 i did not give a flying fuck about my subject area, i spent 4 whole years (i did a year of post-grad after my 3 year bachelor of science under-grad degree) writing scrappy, last minute essays so that i could spend more time in the pub. it would never occur to me to read around my subject, i'd just plough through the minimum i could from the reading list. luckily i'm academically inclined and my grades didn't reflect my lack of interest but in retrospect i'm kind of appalled at the time i wasted and it definitely wasn't just me, it was everyone. what i would give now to spend 4 years reading and researching topics of interest to me or any topics at all. education is totally wasted on the youth or at least on my youth.
