Is it possible to delete a Paypal account and then open a new one from the same email address with a different name?

I changed my name and obviously had to get new bank cards in the new name. I've emailed Paypal my change of name certificate and passport scan and done everything they say on the website but they haven't even acknowledged it, and

I have two days to hand in very important essays and all I want to do is eat jaffa cakes and sleep in the sun.

...But was running late so had to buy the ticket at the very last second from a ticket man in the door of the train.

"Youth-pass to Falmer please."
"Falmouth?"
"No, Falmer, near Brighton. F-A-L-M-E-R."
"Okay." Whirr whirr click click and I pocket the ticket and hop onboard.


Only to be told off by the conductor for being on the wrong train because I HAVE A TICKET TO FALMOUTH.


ERRR, WHY WOULD I BE BOARDING A TRAIN TO LONDON IF I WANT TO GO TO CORNWALL?


(For those of you who aren't aware of my whereabouts, London is directly East. Cornwall is directly West.)





So I had to get off and buy a new ticket and subsequently missed my train, and therefore lesson, and spent most of the morning in a pub in Salisbury. Worse things happen at sea. Except, I figured all Wetherspoons would have wireless by now. They don't. But I take back my harsh words about Southern trains; they're not so bad.



Here are some pictures of the day, because I don't think anyone I actually know looks at my Flickr. WWW.FLICKR.COM/PHOTOS/TYPEWRITTEN, YES YES YES.











So far, so faux-artistic. But hang on, wait a minute, what's this? HELLO INTERNET FANS!





Okay, okay. But in fairness today is the first day that I have taken pictures with just me in them, and according to the camera I have taken over 2700 photos in the past few weeks. So it is fine. Justifiable, anyway.



Vestibules are my new favourite place to sit on trains. They're even better than luggage racks, as long as you're not by the toilets (Southern trains don't seem to have toilets?). On the train I wrote another to-do list and improved my CV. Hopefully lots of places will want to employ me now that I have italics and am an international show-jumper. Haha.

I keep logging into this and thinking I'd like to keep a record, for posterity, but then that I'm too prone to rambling, melodrama and spilling secrets.

University is great.

Good:
Friendly housemates (so far),
I enjoy my course,
I have met some excellent people,
And been to some really good places, and it's lovely to be near the sea.
I am conquering my fear of seagulls.
I miss my friends and family but see them quite a lot - it's only a few hours to drive, which is a bit surreal after Newcastle. I can come home in the weekends!
The opportunities are endless - sports like fencing and streetdance on my doorstep, and magazine/newspapers, and radio shows to be involved with... Use of a darkroom... Loads of interesting people (a lot more dull people, admittedly)...

Bad:
Economics is really difficult! I clearly had no idea about what it was before I started! I hate it!
There's an awful lot to plan.
I have very few contact hours but a LOT of things to do outside of those, like writing and studying. It's very easy to slip behind.

On the whole it is Very Good.

I've noticed that I only update when I'm unemployed.

I've decided that I really ought to update this more often, if only to improve my typing skills (which are currently rubbish, due to lack of use). However, this is a bad time, as I have 4 days until my personal statement should be finished and online. ARGH.

At the moment I am toying with:

1. Sussex - English
2. Sussex - Politics and Economics
3. Exeter - English
4. Newcastle - English
5. King's College London - English
6. ?

In other news, I fly to Bangkok on the 5th, which is 25 days!!!!!! And my birthday is in only 18 days, and it'll be my last teenage birthday.

Wow, aren't Strawberries & Cream kitkats lovely? And kind of stripey too. I passed my theory test yesterday!! I got 33/35 and 60/75 which is a great average-ish score especially as I was worried that I'd fail. This is my car:

Hello Helen and Georgia my only friends!!! Comment and talk to me!!!!!! I'm really actually tremendously bored on my own at home.

Here is bread with about 2 hours to go (I didn't put it in properly the first time so had to take it out and do it again:

Bread is a staple of my healthy and balanced diet.

Mi llamo Jessica, soy estudiante.

Being home alone is fun. I keep remembering that this is my last holiday until after Christmas though.

Oh, I'm making bread! Right now! In a bread-making machine. Here it is with 2hrs 52minutes to go:

APPETISING HUH? The dark bit at the bottom is my shadow. I will update when it is finished.

Tonight I really must either do some serious studying of Spanish or some serious planning of my to-be-fabulous novel.

Today I am unemployed and home alone! I will use this journal to write about all the wild and exciting things that I do... Okay, so far, nothing. Let's hope this picks up a bit.

I start work again on Monday (packing hampers - I think it will be a bit more fun that making scotch eggs).
