A Design For Life

The title of this entry has no particular relevance to what I'm going to write, I don't think, it just happens to be the song I'm listening to right now. I do love the Manics, they've always been amazing, and I hope that they continue to be. And with such an incredible track record, how could they not be?

Anyhow, as ever, I've left it a ridiculously long time since my last entry, but I've been busy packing up my life from the last nine months and moving back home for the summer. It was honestly one of the most difficult things that I've ever had to do, my room at uni was my home, and where I became such a different person, that it was extremely hard to leave it looking all sad and empty. It's alright though, because someone else will be living there from September, and I'm sure that it'll be just as good for them as it was for me. I have to say, though, that it's very strange being home. I'm enjoying it at the moment because Wimbledon is on, which is pretty much the only sporting event that I show any interest in, and I'm loving it. Fingers crossed for another Federer/Nadal final, I love watching those two play. As much as I'd like to see Nadal win, however, it would be incredible to see Federer beat the record and get his 6th (I think?) Wimbledon title in a row.

What else is new? Very little really. I went to see Radiohead in London on Tuesday, and my God were they amazing. They played for the fans that know them well, and I was pretty much speechless my the end of it. Catching the tube back to my friend's place was eventful, lots of Radiohead fans piling into very small underground spaces, not my idea of fun, I have to say. Once we got back on the Northern Line it was alright though, I do love London sometimes, for short periods of time at least.

Wow, Federer is actually killing in this match, I don't think Gicquel stands much of a chance at the moment. You never know though, lots of the seeded players have been absolutely mauled so far this year, perhaps it could happen to Federer. Let's hope not, he plays good tennis, makes for good watching.

I go to Ireland for two weeks on Sunday, I cannot wait. Dublin is one of my favourite cities in the entire world, and I am more than excited to see more of the country, especially Galway.  And once I'm back, it won't be a whole lot longer before I can go back to uni.
