Where are they going???

Will someone please tell me what the hell is happening with my days? theve all ended before they've even started it feels! Whats happened to me over the last few days? Not much to be honest... Iv had my hair cut, i now have a fringe again, still trying to get used to it, not too sure if i like it or not. Iv had a very lengthy conversation with my biology buddies about sex, lasting the whole day, from 11-6! (very wise usage of our presentation planning time lol) covering everything from favourite places to when it's ok to have sex concerning friends n stuff (a conversation I have also had with a friend the other day, in both cases we all ended getting rather confused and undecided) Iv not got nearly enough work done, despite having stared at the books and articles for copious numbers of hours :-( Iv not finished danielle's advent calendar, and Im rapidly running out of time. I have however, decided I cant wait to go home for christmas, see my friends, have some good nights out round good ol wigan, be in a nice homely home with decorations up!! and thats about it really! aww poor me, im sure this week will be much more productive :-P
anyways im off to watch corrie and then ghostbusters with the rest of the house, woo! Love ya all xxx

Another day, another night

I seem to have lost all will power to do any work what so ever. Damn. Today, on my day off, I planned to do loads, I did diddly squitt. This was down to my parents coming bringing my replacement sim card the silly 3 people sent to wigan instead of here, even though i told her to send it to this address. I then of curse had to get a new phone to put the sim card, egged on by my mum who doesn't like knowin she cant just phone me whenever she fancies. I ended up with the same phone I had before but black this time instead of pink n silver, for £70 (my poor pennies). I then went and gave a litre of my blood, thought id done really well and was so proud of myself, and was just waiting for hazel to drink her tea, when I suddenly went all faint and had to lie on the bed :S

Then I went home, ate tea, went to do work, ended up on bloody facebook, did bugger all work wise, watched eastenders and bring it on, and now i cant sleep for no one. And I have a beauty of a cough and sore throat developing, fabaliscous.

Yesterday was a complete doss of a day, hardly worth mentioning, but I will anyway cos I like the song that just came on (Mad world-gary jules, donnie darko) Went uni, got bored to death and back, came home, had a nap, openend my bio book, went to watch corrie n eastenders, then the boys and the number85 boys came round, and I just couldnt be rude, so I stayed to watch mean machine (some film bout a prison football team). Then they went, and me n my housemates watched boys and their cars, a sad film bout a girl of 15 who was really clever but got wasted one night and felt like shit so her and her best mate both got laid in one of their fellas cars, ended up pregnant and married to a heroin addict, shame. Let that be a lesson to us all feeling a little desperate right now, A)try not to get laid just cos your wasted, never a very good idea, B) if you do just end up there, at least always be safe.
Thats my song finished and my wise words done with for tonight people, I am off to force myself to sleep. Night night xxxx

A weekend of sisterly love

I went to heebie jeebies on thrs night, had a great night and then went and bloody left my bag with my keys and phone in the back of a black cab :( I am so annoyed with myself! grrrgghhh. I wasnt even wasted, which makes it so much worse. Blah.

Anyways, on a happier note... what a weekend! Iv had my little sister danielle stay over for the weekend, and it was so nice, but I feel a little mopey now cos she's gone and I wanted to go home with her and my parents. Aah well...

Any way as for what we actually did... was all very nice and sweet, we went the albert docks and the maritime musuem, which was all very interesting and enoyed by us both, much to her surprise! We then went round town to find a three mobile shop, of which i did in superdrug, where they told me what i didnt want to hear...... I have 3 options-

  • buy a cheap fone for like £40, whch will inevitably be a brick
  • buy a nice handset of the standard of my old one for around £200, fuck that.
  • or i can take out a new contract for £15 a month which gives me 300mins n an amount of texts i cant remember and get a nice free phone like the one i had, but I'll still have to pay the old contract as well, which wud be £35 a month.

Any advice, let me know! We then went to eddie rockets, where I had this huge burger and shared some fries n onion rings and then proceeded to feel sick cos I ate too much! whoops! We then headed back home and spent the night watching dvd's snuggled up on the couch with a duvet round us and hot chocolate!! lovely!

Today has been a completely dossing day really, went the park with danielle, went to a sweet little coffee place with sofas to sit on and had a hazlenut frothy coffee with a slice of chocolate cake! She had an extreme hot chocolate n chocolate cake :) Then spent a few hours with my mum n dad n danielle, they left, I moped for a bit, had a shower and now here I am with rach n rob messin on internet and watching office space. Thats bout it! woooow eh! lol! hugs xxx

My chemical romance and my small self...

Whats happened to mein the last week? Well, I found one of my best friends from high school in my uni library, who I'v not seen since school except for on drunken encounter over summer in liquid (is liquid the only place you people in wigan go I hear you cry! the answer is yea, pretty much every1 ends up there just cos its open latest!) which was very cool!! I went the student union at long last on friday night, was quiet but cheap, is'nt really sumwhere people actually go for a night out, tis more just a meeting place before getting the FREE (oh my gawd my uni actually does summat for free!!) bus to town at around midnight.Anyway, turned out to be quite a good night, mainly cos I found £20 woo!
Saturday and sunday were just unmentionably lazy, which I regret now cos I really should of done some of the teetering pile of work I now have.

Monday was absolutely awesome! I went watchin My chemical romance, and they were boss! (Gawd im pickin up the scouse lingo!) I nearly got squished cos I got stuck in the middle of the mosh pit, were there were these stoopid noobs who just kept running full pelt into each other, and some1 elbowed me in my collar bone n bruised me!! :-( But ah well, I got over it. Im more gutted that im too damn small, n even tho I got to the front I still cudnt see cos this group of big massive guys were just in front of me and would they let poor lil me in?? wud they hell, even tho cuda easily seen over me. So then I shuftied to the left and this really sweet guy kept pushing everyone out the way for me and I got right up against the barrier, but someone else really massive was next to me and kept leaning in front of me... grrrr!!! The sweet guy obviously felt bad for me and kept tryin to pick me up so i cud see, but i wudnt let him (I hate bein picked up) But yea, I managed get a few glimpses of em, but not nearly as many as I would have had I been a foot taller! But Ahhh wellll.... the main thing is I didnt go deaf so I could still here em, and I wasnt one of the loads that were fainting all around me n havin be crowd surfed to the front where the medics were... so who the hell am I to complain?!
Today has been a very shit but productive day, after sitting there from 2-10:30, I finally managed to do my reflection on my team working skills whilst in wales essay for human biology. The relevance to human biology? You tell me...

Anyways sexeh people I'm off to bedybyes now, seein as its 02:11 now and Im up at 7! :-( Why cant I ever sleep when I need to but far too well wen Im not meant to be sleeping eg: 7am on wed, thrs n fri! Kisses n hugs xoxoxo

An update on the tree situation....

Just a quick note to let you know that I actually complained (yes me! complaining!) to the head of 1st year undergraduate education (check me out for my bravery!) because it got to me sooo much having to waste all that paper, and.... it appears that we were all mis informed in the lecture.... we need to make an electronic portoflio which is to be submitted (they originally told us a paper portfolio) and we need to make a folder with journal articles etc. This is all brilliant... except for the fact that iv already wasted 300sheets and £15 (i will be recycling the paper, but still....) but ah well, at least Iv saved any more trees from being unnecessarily ruined, by the first year education students at liverpool hope at least!

So yea, thats all I need to say really... so I'l speak to you all soon! kisses and hugs xoxoxox

Whats happened??

Ok.. I'm still confused for the reasons described in my last post, which was a whole five days ago, which I only know cos I realised a friend hadnt posted for that long, and I remember posting the same day as him! (makes sense to me..... honest!) 5 days and im still thinking about the same muddled up things!

As I did explain all about my confusion enough last time I posted I'm not gonna put you all through that again! I've had avery mediocre 5 days, with nothing much to report. Been to uni, not done enough work, not been drunk (whats going on, its been like 3 and a half weeks!!) The most exciting thing being going to watch the pretty firework display at sefton park on bonfire night, wowee! Ooo, and I found an old friend from primary school who was my clever friend and we helped each other with our extra hard work which was for the kids in the year above us! I was clever once! What happened?? Now I come out with phrases like "are you doing anything for bonfire night, or is germany one of those places that dont celebrate it??" Doh! Silly me! whilst he's a smarty pants doin a 4year maths degree, which leads to a masters I think, he obviously zapped half of my brains off me at some point after doing my SAT's and before going to high school! lol He also introduced me to his completely mad housem8 who's cool. Ah well, shit happens, Im sure I can re-educate myself.... I'l do my damndest to anyways!!!

What I do want to talk about is how unfriendly my uni is to the environment, particularly my education *scowl* and also to my poor ever disintegrating bank balance (stop going shopping-simple) You see, the reason Im not happy is because we have to print off alllll our lectures, articles, absolutely everything. I have so far printed off 6 weeks worth of stuff, which has cost me £15, and from that I deduced that quite disgustingly that adds up to 300 sheets of paper. There are 12 weeks in each semester, which is approximatley 600sheets per semester! so thats gonna be around £60 spent on printing this year, and thats not including research n stuff were also meant to get! And even more upsetting, how many poor trees is our class going to claim? most of the pages of which are sooooo unaviodably dull are not even going to get glimpsed at by the majority of the class? And how many people wont even bother to recycle the paper when they've done with it?? It makes me sad inside... At least my money can be replaced without toooo much difficulty, but the same cant be said for the trees :-(

I also want to just declare that as much as I really really do love christmas, it should be illegal for decorations and other such christmassy items to be put up untill december 1st. Please people! Just wait a little bit loner! The reason I'm saying this is because not only has town started to put all their christmas galore up (which makes me feel the need to start thinking about presents which is bad due to the lack of fundage I have for them) but there is also an actual house a few streets down from me which I walk past on my way to the bus stop to uni which actually has fairy lights and a santa in the window. I mean omfg..... tis the 7th nov for christs sake!

I also want to say I really really want to go to leeds and nottingham and stoke soon to see my dude stef (I love you duuuudeee! as has been said on many a drunken night round wigan! especially our last one way way back in august, what a fun night was had by all ;-) even if the music was awful! and also on every opportunity possible!) and my little fellow small friend anita, who I just know is finally enjoying the freedom of being at uni, and is actually allowed a full night out without having to panic about being home before her dad! (Just keep away from those shots in baabaa's...ahem!! Love you!) And of course good ol Debby in stoke... how u doin duck?!!! Gawd, I never thought i'd miss the nurses home and the social and the little shop with their £1 pizzas, but hell I do!
There's also people I want to see else where, but know I cant, because your either too far away, or I just dont know where the hell u are right now cos every time I speak to you your somewhere new , having far too much fun!! All as I can say to you few is your in my heart and mind and even sometimes even my dreams! (as peculiar, bizarre and random as they quite often are!) and I wish you the best of luck in what your all doing, and I hope to see you soon... love you lots!
Gosh, I love so many people in so many different ways, who wud of thought it possible.
PS: keep the pretty pictures coming... they make me smile. I don't care how you show me them, on myspace, in an email, anything. I just want to see them, pretty please!!!

And now, having made myself feel sufficiently sentimental... I shall bid you all a good night! sweet dreams xxxx

Back from wales with Baabraaa!!!

Im back, from wales, feeling exhausted, aching but rather pleased with the whole experience. Sure, the food was crap, it was like being at an army camp, but that doesn't matter, because I got to know some new people and some not new people better!

We did lots of team bonding activities, had to trust each other alot, got petrified a hell of alot (well, i did anyway!) and did loads of exercise and ended up with aching muscles a plenty. We didnt get to ride the sheep down the hills, awww!

We did get to build a raft and go sailing around a boat, which was bloody knackering due to the gale force winds pushing at us on the way back and making us nearly crash into boats, we got to climb up artificial walls, which i just could not do, I was hopeless, the little nobs you grab hold of and put your feet on were all too small and too far apart! We got blindfolded alot, and had to be directed throught the woods at night blindfolded over, around and through all these obstacles, the hardest being tyres which we needed to crawl through, that was hard, and crawling downhill, that was just scary (for anyone who doesnt know, i hate going downhill at the best of times, so doing it blindfolded on all fours was awful!)

The best thing I achieved was clinbing up this woden pole, about as high as a house, maybe a little higher, then having to jump off the top of it, with a body harness on of course, and go swinging all over the place. I was shit scared, but I did it. I made the funniest face ever and made the whole class laugh cos I looked so scared, and then got a hug off suzy, lee n jon when i got back on ground as i was hysterically laughing and shaking like a bloody leaf! An adrenaline rush n a half, still not deciphered if that was a nice feeling or not!

We also had a trip to the pub, which was ok, except for the extortionately priced drinks £8.80 for a pint of carling and a vodbull! Could of got 4 pints and 4 vodka lemonades down the symphony for that and still have change! And of course, lunging away in a bid to escape the impending beard monster trying to eat me was also quite fun! (ask and I'l tell you more) lol!

Anyhows, thats pretty much everything that happened on our fabulous trip to Aberdovey! I can tell you are all soooo jelous! hahaha! kisses and hugs all around xoxoxox
