Still no parcel

My mum sent me a parcel last week, first class and it has still not arrived! This is terrible, I'm now feeling very anxious about it, I hate anything to be lost, plus it contained a lot of my post form home, and even worse to be lost, a chocolate bar. Every day since last Monday I've waited by the front door, for that lovely 'thunk' as post drops through the letterbox. I did at least get a letter today from a friend, so something nice. Ironically, if the parcel ever arrives, I will probably have been home and back by the time it gets to me. Not always a great service from Royal Mail. Considering the amount of money I give to them by sending ebay parcels, I should demand a better service, possibly even my own personal postman, now there is an interesting thought.
Enough about post though I think. Apart form the fact, that I need to get to the post office before the close of business today, a bag full of parcels await their destinations. People have been good enough to buy things from me, so I need to send them.
The service I went to last night was very interesting, and I have many things I'm now thinking about. I met some very nice people, who I had seen last Sunday at the group church meeting in Falmouth. They were good enough to admit they had forgotten my name, I was not so brave, but I think they realised and kindly wrote down their phone number and their names for me.
I did a lot of writing last night, and enjoyed doing it. Two pieces, one an argument form, and the other a sentence structure piece. This was the most fun to write as I think it will be the beginning of a story. The argument piece was interesting, and also I realised as I posted it that another student had written on a similar subject. I did feel a little uneasy as when I joked about this she said she had mentioned the subject to me last week, it was not a conscious thing though, I had been going to write about cats, but it wasn't working, chocolate seemed a better subject, and our essays were very different, so I'll not worry about it.
I will finish here today I think, lots to do as I am fond of saying, and we are shortly to have a meeting about our group project which is still not quite finished. It will be soon though!
