HA!
Just watched a virtual tour video of my campus (I was bored) and they showed somewhere I had never seen before. I was all like, “HOLD UP PLAYA, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PLACE??!!?!?”
It was the library. I clearly need to pay it a visit more often!
(I rarely set foot in the place yet I still have high hopes for my two essays! One can wish ..)
Thank God 2010 is nearly over ..
Yes, it is the last day of 2010 at long bloody last. This year has not been overly fun. I don’t have particularly high expectations for 2011 but it can’t be .. well, it can be worse but I’m hoping it won’t. This time next year I’ll hopefully be packing for a ski trip to Slovakia that I want to organise with some friends but I doubt it’ll happen. Oooooh I love...
Ugh.
New Years is going to suck.
Is it wrong to want to be surrounded by those I love to ring in the new year instead of two faced bitches? Is it really too much to ask??
Can’t even stay at home by myself like two years ago because we’re having a stupid party. That was one of my best New Years. No lie.
Gaueghhhh.
Ah ..
Umm. I kind of didn’t go to sleep. I may have got addicted to angry birds and couldn’t switch off. Oops.
How is it nearly 3 AGAIN?!!!??!
Seriously, the day draaaaaags on then once it hits midnight BAM!
The hours go zoomin’ past.
I’m really not looking forward to going back to Uni on Monday, I hate living there and I have exams really soon. Ridiculously soon. And I have done no revision whatsoever. I don’t even know what a vector is!! Ahhhhhh!!! I only have to get 40% to get a pass but I think even with revision...

Day 15 - Your favorite tumblrs
I have quite a few!
natalieaba- A real life friend and aspiring comedian! Blogs about Uni life (she gets to live in the proper part of Brighton, no fair!) and things that amuse her, always makes me chuckle! (also has comedy blog @ comedyjunkie)
enormarse- Another real life friend. Mostly whinges about working in Tesco/raves about working in Tesco because she loves...
I dreamed a dream in times gone by ..
Just remembered my dream from last night.
We got a puncture on the people carrier so I got out and changed the front and back left tyres pit stop style. With the wheel gun and everything. Didn’t even need jacks.
I’m clearly well qualified for a job in Formula One, I was one speedy gonzales.
I GOT TICKETS TO DANCING ON ICE WOOHOOOOO!!
.. But because of stupid Harry Potter taking over Elstree it’s now being filmed down in Shepperton which is in the middle of nowhere.
Hmmmm bittersweet.
BUT CHRISTOPHER DEAANNNNNN WOOWOOWOOWOO.

Day 14 - Your favourite picture of yourself
Probably this one
I don’t really have favourite pictures but this survived as my profile picture for the longest so I’d go with this one. I do always feel my best when I’m on the slopes. :)
I have a pretty serious bread addiction
It won’t be long before I start snorting crumbs ..

Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea 27-12-10
Perfect Montage.
This actually made me tear up a bit ok.
I can’t believe I was actually not going to watch this match, it made my Christmas! Chelsea getting their arse handed to them by the beautiful beutiful Arsenal. Arsenal have always played the definiton of “the beautiful game” but yesterday they managed to look really...

Day 13 - Somewhere you’d like to move or visit
I’m determined to live in France for bit when I finish uni. Either as a graduate job, working with the Warren Smith ski academy as a ski biomechanist coach type person, working as a ski instructor or even as a chalet girl (even though I can’t cook or clean and I’m generally terrible at looking after other people).
I went to Avoriaz...

Day 12 - Your favourite pet
I’ve only ever owned guinea pigs, Mum wouldn’t (and still won’t) let us have a dog. It got to the point where I felt so deprived I actually asked if we could have a cat. I don’t even like cats all that much! Answer was still no.
At one point in time we had over 30 guinea pigs, all living together at the end of the garden. We bought “3...
Sudden recall
In my dream last night I had Sea Monkeys.
I don’t, they were on my Christmas list but no one got them for me. Is it a sign? Should I buy some? If I got a fish too could they live in the same tank??

Day 10- Your favourite day of the year
What a coincidence, it just so happens to be today! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!
Can you believe it?
I was feeling all jolly and Christmassy up until one minute til Christmas when it was zapped away. Literally one minute. Getting yelled at for not clearing the table because I don’t know where anything goes (because I DON’T LIVE HERE ANY MORE)(Not that I ever knew where anything went). I offered to do other jobs like peeling the parsnips, I KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, but apparently all...

I own the awkward head tilt.

Day 8 - A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life
I honestly don’t know. It just feels like every memory is bittersweet, contentedness mixed with sadness. Can’t really put my finger on why.
I don’t know, moments in the common room laughing with my friends, doing daft things like trekking to Asda or Burger King, getting hugs ..
Meh. I really don’t do deep.
I had a dream ..
That my guinea pig Cookie was still alive and he was a trained guinea pig. He came when he was told, sat, shook paws, lay down (if you have never seen a guinea pig flump onto the floor, it is the darnedest thing ever! [although I think this may just be me becuase I don’t think guinea pigs flump. Just in my dreams]) and rolled over (although he did get stuck halway so you had to poke him the...

Day 7 - Your zodiac sign and if you think it fits your personality
SCORPIO
Element: Water Quality: Fixed Ruling Planet(s): Mars and Pluto
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac and represented by the scorpion. Scorpios are truly the contradicting sign. They can be the best and worst of both worlds - independent and clingy, loving and cold, authoritative and weak. Above all else, they are...

Day 6 - Write 30 interesting facts about yourself
As I found out today after wracking my brains for a story to tell on the Graham Norton show so I wouldn’t have to stand in the queue, I am a very dull person. 30 facts should be easy, interesting is the problem. Here goes.
I am at the very least 1/64 part Belgian. I figured it out using my last known Flemish relative and his birth date and...

Day 5 - Something you discovered about yourself this year
I discovered I miss my Barnet more than I ever thought possible. I mean, it’s a craphole! The High Street is just charity shops and there’s crap all places to go after 6 if you’re under 18. There’s so many chavs it’s unreal, you can’t get on the 184 after 9am because it gets mobbed by the elderly .. but...

Day 4 - Your views on religion.
I’m a Christian but not a very good one. In fact, I’m a terrible Christian, I never go to Church, I use the Lords name in vain, I sometimes take the piss out of the bible. Terrible, terrible, terrible ..
I believe in God for the sake of believing in someone. I don’t pray so much as have an informal chat. Sometimes a bit of a whinge or a moan. But...

Day 3 - Your views on drugs and alcohol.
I’d be dead without drugs. Seriously, I’ve had one (small) near death experience, over did it on a bike trip (10 minutes in, how embarrassing) and had a massive asthma attack, fell off my bike into some bushes. Like the knob that I am I didn’t bring my own inhaler, if Nancy hadn’t have had hers I’d be scerewwwwed. Couple of...

What a cracker of a day!
Went into school to watch the annual sixth form revue, God I miss it! Always had so much fun choreographing (and making obscenely difficult and large props). Brought all the memories rolling back, I really need to rewatch the DVD! Went home and about 20 minutes after sitting down, I look out the back window to see it snowing quite heavily, white Christmas please? Just...

Day 2 - Where you’d like to be in 10 years.
Let’s see, in ten years I’ll be 29. That’s quite scary! I’ll be nearly 30, blimey .. I’d like to have had kids by then, at least one. I mean I know I’ve driven myself (and my sisters) crazy but I would like my children to have siblings. But maybe just 2 kids, then I’d be done. I’ll have finished Uni with a...

Ooof, heartache ..
Anyone got a shoe box?
Personal post:
My day has not started out well. Firstly, I had to sleep on the sofa after my sister essentially kicked me out of my room. Secondly, I managed to unblock my nose (HUZZAH!) but at the expense of losing my voice and whatever sense of hearing I had left. Thirdly, I got up to find that my guinea pig, Snoopy, is dead. She’s currently lying on the lawn with her little claws up in...

Day 1 - Your current relationship, if single discuss how single life is
Single: No change there!
What can I say, single life is the norm for me. I’m very shy and socially awkward so whenever I see someone I like I either go really quiet and don’t talk to them or I get overly loud and scare them away. There was one I that I really thought I might have had a chance with for a while but...

Epic catch up
Ooh so much to write about .. where to start?
FRIDAY: Had a nice lie in then got up for labs at 11. I wish my actual labs were at 11, I was just crashing Naomis labs because I’d missed mine the week before. Everyone in her group is quite sociable, plus they don’t have to get up at 9. Started off by butchering (literally, I’m quite heavy handed with a scalpel) a pigs heart open...
Dead.
Oh God, I’m so ill.
My cold had progressed yesterday so I was feeling ill throughout the day but it was fairly manageable. I went up to bed at about 1 ish and tried to settle down to sleep but my nose literally wouldnt unblock, no matter how many time I blew it. I hate breathing through my mouth, unless I’m exercising or sighing I always breathe through my nose. I got up at about half...

Which small team would you like to start with?
HRT
Which midfield team would you move to?
Ooooh. I think it’d be Force India, not their best season but I think they are a good team. Either them or Williams so I could be with Barichello :)
Would you drive for Ferrari or Mclaren?
Ahhh, got to be Ferrari. I couldn’t be teammates with Alonso though, poor old Felipe...
Procrastination ..
Well, my academic year is officially over!
Woke up to find my phone is broken AGAIN, alarm didn’t wake me up at 7.30 like I asked it to and wouldn’t get any signal whatsoever, so I stumbled around my room at 8.16, throwing on clothes so I could go and get my hockey stick from Naomi at half 8. Checked StudentCentral on a hunch and found out my 9am hockey practical was cancelled because...
I hate people.
DARRRGH.
