A little update

I haven't posted in a while, to be honest i think i forgot about my blog I've just been busy with school and A levels and all the stuff that goes with it and my laptop chargers broken so i have to wait to go onto the main computer when no ones around and blah blah blah. That's enough excuses for one post.

looks a bit like this

New stuff in my life include my new Motorola xoom tablet, its really good actually. I bought it myself with the money i got for my birthday and its pretty helpful. I've used it for school, downloading past papers and stuff onto it is pretty easy. I also downloaded a few games, my favorite by far is Airport city, you have control over an airport and the attached city and have to collect money and passengers and yeah it sounds boring but its cool when you're playing it. Oh also i named it Max, because calling it my tablet made me feel a bit like a druggy, don't ask me why its called max cause its a bit pathetic so I'm not telling...



Also i finally got rid of my Blackberry Curve recently! Woop, have a mini party, go on you know you want to! I upgraded to a HTC one V, its very fancy and up to date and I'm still trying to figure out how it works but i like it. I haven't downloaded many apps on it yet or anything but I'm sure I'll get around to it. I don't really have a lot to say about it except that it looks really cool so here's a picture that i googled.


In university news, I've chosen my firm and insurance choices; *drum roll* University of Essex and Hertfordshire University! I really love Essex and want to get good enough grades to get in, I really really hope i do. Its so convenient, only an hour or so away from home. Everything would be perfect. Its a great campus and the teaching its great. I had an interview before I received my conditional offer there and there is a funny story for another post that i may get around to writing... or i might not, who knows.

And last but by no means least I've met someone new. Hes completely different to anyone I've really liked before, a bit older which doesn't really bother me, and completely different. Its just nice, hes funny and makes me laugh a lot but hes not very cheesy which is a bit strange but i like the change. I feel totally comfortable when i'm talking to him, which I don't when i talk to many people. I'm not gonna get too crazy but i just hope it goes well.

bowling for soup

On the friday of half term me and three of my friends went to see bowling for soup! Im still excited about it. It was my first proper 'gig' and i enjoyed it so much! We went to the HMV forum in Camden (which is a kinda scary place) on the train, which cost a small fortune! My friend won tickets so was on the guest list and managed to get us in slightly earlier so we were in the second row! Really close to the front. Then we were waiting for what seemed like ages and my feet were already starting to hurt but i was so excited.

The stage

Then the first support band came on- Orange. Me and my friend had previously googled them to see what they were like and we had low hopes but they were actually amazing! The main singer, Joe Dexter(i found out his name later) had bright orange hair and a really cool red jacket!

Then they went off and after a short break we had the second support band called Suburban legends. They were equally as amazing and sung I just cant wait to be king from the lion king which was awesome and i could sing along properly. They also had two members playing brass instruments and they did little dance routines and they were so funny and cool!

Suburban Legend

Then the madness started. As soon as bowling for soup came on everyone rushed forward and i was so squashed that my face was kinda stuck to the guy infront of me's back. It was so funny though and i still managed to sing and jump and shout, especially when we decided to move further back to get some more space. Bowling for soup were fantastic and it was such a great night! I'm definitely going to go and see them again when they tour. 

Bowling for soup :D

Afterwards we went outside and we got pictures with the lead singer of orange (Joe from earlier in the post) and the lead singer from suburban Legends (who looked like a bit like doctor who because he has a jacket and bowtie.)

Me and Joe from orange and my friend. i had my eyes closed
so my other friend kindly gave me some replacements

Me and the lead singer or Suburban Legends (please excuse
my face as it is awful)

Half term

Today is the last day of the half term! I really haven't done that much this week. I had so much planned- do all my homework, start revision, finish my coursework, tidy my room, help around the house etc etc. But I managed to do none of them things. The stuff I chose to do- tumblr, talk to people, sleep and anything else i could find that wasn't what I needed to do.

My physics friend had a party for her 18th birthday at the beginning of the week and it was awesome! We danced, ate pizza and took a few photos (I would post one but I cant be bothered to ask people if they would mind me putting their photo on here.) I was quite proud of myself as well, I managed to keep my heels on for the majority of the night! Its quite an achievement as I'm one of those girls that do not like discomfort and heels are a major one.

I also went to see bowling for soup but im going to make another post about that :D And I went back to the caravan for the weekend. It was quite uneventful to be honest and now we arent going to be going down until next year.

Sorry for the boring post, i promise the next one will be more exciting with tales of a shelter kid in an unsheltered area ;)

Sorry...

First of all I just want to apologise for the humongous delay in me writing this post. I've not really been that busy im just kinda lazy and couldn't think of what to write. Sorry
Over the summer I decided to get some work experience in a hospital, at the eye clinic, as at the time I wants to do optometry (that's to become an optician if you were wondering.) it was great and interesting but a but repetitive and ice come to the conclusion that I dint think I can see myself sitting in a opticians and doing that same thing over and over again. So that idea was scrapped :(

I was kind of stuck  because I hadn't looked at any other universities or courses that really took my interest. I've always Been interested in law and being a solicitor so I decided I would look at that. It's really opened up my options, hundreds (if not thousands) of universities offer a law course. 

I've finally narrowed it down to 6 that im going to visit, hopefully. 

I'm sorry this post wasn't that interesting, i promise i will return next time with funnier stories... If failing that I will return.

City

I visited city university today and now I'm so confused! the course is amazing there and has been established for ages. The lectures were so good and i could have listened to her for ages. Every time i hear something about optometry i want to do it even more. But now I'm confused because i was certain that i wanted to go away from home but as i live so close to London there would be no point. And the uni has close links to morefields eye hospital which would be amazing to get experience with.

Ahh! not looking forward to deciding where I'm going to go.

Plymouth

This week i went to visit Plymouth university for the open day, i arrived the day before so got to have a look around the town and see what the actual place was like. We walked into the town centre searching for all the neccasary shops, primark, costa, shakaway, disney store etc and found all of them ;)

There was also this amssive screen showing wimbledon with chairs out, so we sat and me and my mum had starbucks whilst my dad had guinness. It was good and such a lovely day! then we spend aaaaaggggeeessss trying to find a decend restaurant to eat it and eventually ended up going to the on we originally looked at! The food was lovely and not even that expensive. By this point i think i was already in love with plymouth even though there was loads of walked and i was exhausted, it is just such a lovely place!

I also enjoyed the uni itself, it was a bit confusing at first and we had very little idea where to go but eventually we found the optometry talk and the woman played us a funny video about how people think opticians are vampires or wizards or something... anyway it made me want to start the course there and then! i also went to an accomodation talk and a student life one where i decided that i wanted to live in halls and join loads of societies.

Plymouth is definatly going on my list and probably high up aswel becuase im so in love with it at the moment. Just have to see what i think of the others.

Music taste ramblings

My music taste is so random and to some people- strange. I like such a wide range of music is so weird!

At one end of the spectrum there is Queen, the band that i have loved constantlyy through out my life since my dad introduced me to them pretty much at birh. I have a massive love for Freddie Mercury despite the facts about drugs and other stuff i still love him and cant think of him in anyother way than awesome. I really wish I could have been privaledged to meet him but oh well.

One of the most amazing men ever to have lived :D

Then there is stuff like good charlotte and 30 seconds to mars who are like rock and stuff. I loved good charlotte when i was about 10/11 and then lost them for a big, now ive gone back to them when im older i understand the lyrics a bit more. With 30 seconds to mars i was introduced to them and i loved them instantly, i love the lyrics and the sound is just amazing!


There is also yellowcard, paramore, boys like girls and Linkin park. Which are kinda punk/ rock.

Then at the other end of the spectrum i like taylor swift (just her music) demi lovato, jonas brothers and katy perry. Who are all really pop and mainstream. I like their songs that are just easy to listen to and fun. The jonas brothers lyrics may seem really cheesy and disney boy bandish but i can connect to them and i feel like some of the songs describe how im feeling sometimes.

Joes my favourite :p

And them i just like random songs an artist will do without actually liking the artist themselves, for example aerosmith- dont wanna miss a thing and bon jovi- livin on a prayer, which are two of my favourite songs!

Thanks for reading my random ramblings about my music taste and things :D
