The Summer of Sun...excuse me *cough cough* I Mean Rain

So it's the summer holidays...yes I said summer, I have finished uni for the year and have months of glorious free time ahead of me. I've been told the world is my oyster, go grab those opportunities, search your soul, fill your already crammed CV with wonderous and magnificent achievments that will leave you're employer eating his heart out. Ummm soz to put a dampener on it, but I'm free. My CV is not full and tbh it's never going to be, if the world is my oyster are you implying that if I wander to the sea side pick open an enrusted clam and literally prise it open I will be magically enlightened and my soul is fine thanks where it is. So what to do with a summer with no responsibilities or duties.......?

The Ambiguous Acronym That Is BBF

What do I mean when I say BBF? Well according to urban dictionary I could be taken to mean any number of 20 different meanings that use three different words beginning with a b, b and an f. Putting the rude ones aside, thank you urban dictionary, my favourite has got to be number 19: "Baked Beans Frickledickle," mostly because I don't have a clue what it means and "tbh...." its hilarious. Jokes aside what I mean when I use BBF is best friends forever. Yes it sounds cheesy and yes an English Literature degree student aka moi has hopped on the band wagon of shortend slogans and acronyms that the "cool" kids use just for some cheap thrills, but in all serious I want to dedicate this post to one of my close friends. Through her persistance and determination she has got me back on my blog and posting again. Even if she is the only one reading it I'd like to thank her for believing in me and I hope she and anyone else out there continues to enjoy my ramblings because I'm back and here to stay :P Peace out xoxo

The Art of Walking and the Notion of Shame

OK, so the walk of shame. For those of you that don't know what it is, basically it is someone who stays a single night at a randomer's house from a club for them to walk back, in the same clothes that they went out clubbing in, to their house. Here are my observations:
1. The Art of Walking
When dressed in a tiny skirt or tight back dress in the massiveest heels humanly possible why do people think the only option available to them is to walk through the middle of the high street in broad daylight. Firstly no it is not casual attire and secondly yes people will question and stare and gossip. With dishelleved hair and smudged make up I think people will guess that you aren't just trying to make a fashion statment. Fashion may be quirky, but not that quirky. Secondly, don't walk. GET A TAXI!!! You may only live across the road, but I'll be damned if you don't see someone you know as you totter back to your house. If not that, you're bound to see an old couple who do pass judgment by tutting extremely loudly and pointing. It's the etiquette of the older generation. So even if you have to steal loose change from the randomer's bedroom floor or sell your jewellery, GET A TAXI!!!!! Knowing no one has seen you and that no one can pass judgment and remind you everytime you see them at a lecture is definitely worth pawning all your gold for.
2. The Notion of Shame
No matter who are you, no matter if your dress is the most gorgeous dress ever and no matter if you want to show your new shoes off to everyone because they were from Kurt Geiger and you got them in the sale, DON'T think you can pull off the walk of shame and not be shameful. It's called the walk of shame for a reason and people will stare and point out of their cars as you pass. You will feel the shame creep right through your body and no amount of speed walking is going to help. Get it sorted!! Take a spare change of clothes. Yeh it may seem a bit wierd, and the randomer may think you are some deranged person who thinks they are coming for a sleep over but literally in the morning you'll be thanking me. So thats my observations concerning the walk of shame. Lessons learnt, get a taxi, take a spare change of clothes and if all else fails then run like the wind xxx

Massive heels

Hello all. Just to report training is going well, ran 6 miles the other day, was pretty chuffed with myself, kind of forgot I've got to run double. Ummm I just won't think about that for a while. Went out last night to a club as it was having a re- launch party, I'm going to use the words eventful/ not in the slightest as came home basically as soon as I got there. Let's just say I was seeing double :p This gives me the chance to thank in general for friends, I don't know what I'd do without them, especially tall friends that hold you up:p . Last night was a total success in some ways. I wore these amazing heels that I bought from new look , some insane wedges!!!!! I didn't think I could last the night in them, but I totally did!!!!!! Basically because I spent the night sitting down but still they were on my feet and I was rocking it. Such a proud moment in my uni history.

2nd Term

Back to uni, success one- finished exams, success 2- on top of my work, only because terms just started, success 3- secured a house for next year, testing my organisational skills to the max, at one point was speaking to five different people at once using Skype, phone, iPod and Facebook. Boom, something to put on the cv!! Multitasking to the max! However now here come the failures, failure 1- am yet to properly start training for the half marathon I'm doing in march.... Ummm? Failure 2- 1st night out to posh cocktail bar, all dressed up, strutting my stuff as I enter through the door, take about three steps as fall straight on my ass in front of everyone!!!! Major Wierd looks!! So overall lessons learnt walk with cello tape of my feet, totally going to start a new fashion:p xxx

Literacy overload!!

Today was work, work and work. I planned to get up early, setting my alarm for 7:15, some how managed to make that 8:15. Wasn't in the plan, but not deterred. This holiday got to complete a creative writing project and today I set myself the task of writing a short story. I stormed the day and completed one despite constant sneaky Facebook checks, the occasional weather update, why I'd need to know if the weather changed as I was stuck inside all day I'll never know, and blankly staring out of the window at an old couple across the road, creepy!!! And I carried on my literary roll by watching the bbc adaptation of great expectations. Soooo good!! I love when I can pretend to say I've read a book when I have just watched the bbc adaptations. That's how you get through a English literature degree folks:) today was a literary success. Update on running is non existent. Eaten so much from Xmas I can't move though I have collected £10 sponsorship so far so I'm still super keen:) xx

Back and Buzzing for Xmas

EEEEKKKK!! Sorry guys I'm back. Had a whirlwind of a month. Heres a quick up date
1. Finished a proper essay!!!! brownie points,
2. went to a ball that required wearing underwear in the freezing cold to raise money for aids charities. You'll be pleased to here I arrived in a respectable state, being relativly clothed and semi-sober, unlike two of my friends who I hasten to add were taken to the 'drunk room' yes it had a reputation already, and were ordered to go home after passing out by st john's ambulance!!!!
3. signed up to run Bath Half Marathon!! eeek, umm firstly I'm pretty terrible at running, kind of like Phoebe on Friends, but kind of worse!!?? seen a girl with legs and arms and head flayling in the air in a wild crase, yep that be me. But it is for a really good charity, the forever friends appeal, raising money for the cancer ward at Bath Royal United Hospital. Soooo stay with me and I'll update you all on my training or.. lack of it :)
4. Various xmas meals with my uni mates. Been carrying a food baby for the last two weeks.
5. Finished uni for the xmas break. Back home loving the food and cleanliness of the house:) only trouble is I am forcing myself to finish this creative writing project I have to get done for January, as yes I left it to the last minute. So thats me basically up to date, listening to wham, eating mince pies, thinking about running, well not really, and trying to get my creative writing juices flowing in the run up to xmas :) I hope you have a wonderful xmas and I look forward to keeping you up to date on all my adventures :) xxx
