"I FOUND MY PASSPORT!"

Yesterday was a brilliant day in my life.

When I started my new job at the local pub, I was asked to provide 2 copies of my passport for identification purposes. I didn't think this would lead to any sort of problem until it actually came to trying to find the passport. Do you ever get that feeling where your stomach sinks and 'kerching' sounds start going off in your head? The thing is I knew I had it somewhere because I remember packing it when I moved back from University before Christmas. I looked everywhere. Then I realised that I am going on two holidays this year. The sinking feeling returned.

However, yesterday I decided to clean out my room. Not only did I find my passport, it was actually in the same place I always keep it but hiding underneath some photo frames. Elated does not even begin to describe the happiness after seeing that baby pink passport case in my hand.

And just to top the day off, me and my boyfriend were invited to a complimentary meal at a restaurant in town after having quite a bad experience there a few weeks ago. A three course meal and three drinks free completely on the house :D So what should have been about £53 cost us nothing. Bargain night out or what!?

So there you have it. Now you know what I class as a good day. Finding something that is lost and free food.

"Shall I go or not?"

A question I repeatedly asked myself today when referring to the delights of University.

I don't really get the same buzz out of University that other people seem to. I lived on halls for w hile but it wasn't for me so I moved back home. For me it's not about partying but actually, believe it or not, getting a degree so I can begin the life of work.

I have had what Google suggests is laryngitus (I don't do Doctors) which means I have basically being feeling like shit for four days. So today I was torn as to whether to bother making the hour journey to University, to sit there for three hours and then drive home. But, my motivation got the better of me and before I knew it I was on the road. BIG mistake.

I arrive at Uni to find that the most part of my class need one-to-one tutorials for our next assignment. This resulted in me leaving 55 minutes later as I have already spoken to my tutor. In other words, I went for no reason at all.

I don't know why but I never trust my instinct. This morning it was telling me, don't bother going, but I let my conscience talk me out of it. I suppose at least I don't feel guilty about missing something important.

I really need to use the instinct we were born with more. What use is it otherwise?

"(Silence)"

This is what has been coming out of my mouth for the past two days because... I have lost my voice.

My throat was a bit sore, then the next day I woke up and when I tried to speak nothing came out. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't been at work for the past two days.

"The risotto?"

"Can I get you anything else?"

Imagine these questions in a teenie tiny husky voice. Trying to get peoples' attention is a nightmare!

And just to top it off, I am off to see Katy Perry tomorrow with one of my best friends. Whatever happens, it will probably end badly. I will either get my voice back to sing along and lose it all over again because I am singing so loud or I will not get it back and not be able to sing along at all. Well I can but I will just be miming the whole thing!

Will the voice be back tomorrow? We shall see...

"I'm not seeing you tonight am I?"

This was my boyfriends attempt at an April Fool's joke today. Unfortunately it didn't really have the same effect that he hoped it would which resulted in him having to explain to me it was an April Fool and in return I told him it was epic fail.

Saying this, I can only remember one April Fool that has actually worked. It was when I was still in school and we were gathered in the entrance waiting to go into the main hall. All of a sudden, one of the Drama teachers started raising his voice at my Maths teacher. This snowballed into a shouting match between the two in full view of all the students. After a while we started to click as to what was happening but for those first few minutes we were convinced two of the teachers hated each other and wanted everyone to know about it! It was so unexpected which is why it worked so well.

Other than that, the 1st April usually seems to just pass me by. This has urged me to want to perform an April Fool on someone today but I am completely stuck for ideas. I'm not great at practical jokes and thinking of legit fibs is not one of my fortes.

So basically, I'm screwed. Not only because I can't think of any to do on other people but also because I am quite the gullible person. You could tell me you are engaged to Brad Pitt and I'd probably believe it!

So have you had any jokes played on you today or managed to pull one off on someone else?
