CARNAGE!

So this weekend Alice came and stayed for 3 days and I had such a good time! As much as I love my flatmates and everyone here, it was lovely to see a familiar face :)
I had work Friday night and then had to go meet her from the coach station the next day at 1pm. It was so weird to see her on 'my turf' haha but I gave her a mini tour of the city but it was freezing so we'll have to do it another time :) we went to sugarcane (obv) and then had a Chinese buffet!! FIT FOR A KING! We filled tummys to the absolute max and even got to pour our own icecream haha GOODBYE DIET! but it was so totally worth itttttt
this was one of the photos i took without people thinking i was a complete weirdo so apologies for the poor quality and blur but you get a taste of what it was like! This was in the corner house which has soo many food places in it, was the hardest decision to ever make choosing where to eat ha but me and alice are suckers for some chinese!
that night it started snowing.. and snowing.. and snowing until it was, i'd say, about 2 inches if not more! was crazy and i couldn't wait to go out and play with it. the boys were outside so we went and joined in on the snow ball fight! obviously i got a few to the face cos everyone aimed at me ha but was so fun!! i finally put my wellies to good use ;)
this is the beaaaaaaut courtyard!! i was so excited! it looks like the inside of a dipdab wrapper full of sherbert!!!!

 our snow man (apologies for the disgusting photo)

me and steve were the only ones to have brought wellies!! my feet were dry and snug ;)

this night we stayed in because of the snow and everyone was worried what the next night would be like cos it was the day of carnage pub crawl and noone fancied doing it in the snow - except me, i was all for it! i was literally like an excited 5 year old who'd eaten too many blue smarties!!
thankfully the snow stopped by the next day (boo) so it was just like slush left and it hadn't froze yet so no ice :) pre drinks went full steam ahead at our flat and all was well at manor!! haha. 
COPS AND ROBBERS! pre drinks were absolutely hilarious and once alice had some drink in her she was speaking to everyone which was good cos i didnt have to stay with her all night - she was being a social butterfly ;) hah. everyone liked her and i think she liked everyone too so i was happy!
the best night quickly turned into the worst though because when we got to our last club (rock city) someone stole my camera :((((( so i lost all my snow photos i took that day and all of the pre drinks and ones from being in the clubs :( absolutely gutted!!!!!! im literally never going to rock city again im so angry!
then alice had to leave at 6pm the next day so we had a huuge lie in to sleep off the hangovers and took her to the coach station! was sad to say bye but we'll be together again in like 8 weeks or something when we're all home for easter so it's all gooooood :)

Futuuuure :)

Today started off reeeally crappy and I was so moody and kinda took it out on my mum so I feel kinda bad! But it got better and better - first of all all 7 of us girls went and signed our new house contract for next year!!! Love the house and so happy we got it and it's all sorted now :) and the best thing is that it's a 10min walk from the city centre so we're definitely gona be hosting pre drinks all the time cos we won't need taxis or if we do they'll be suuuper cheap :D and then i skyped Jenn, who is the 'mom' of the american family my older sister keiley stayed with whilst doing camp america 3 years ago, about me going over there for 3 months in the summer to help her out with her toddler lauren who's 2 and shadow her because she's a photographer with her own business!!!! she went over some details and said she'd pay for half my flight, i'd live in her huge basement room rent free and wouldn't need to buy food AND she'd give me a weekly 'allowance' :D :D :D how amazing!! it's such a crazzzy opportunity cos ive aaaalways wanted to go to america and the offer's there!! :D :D plus it would look pretty hardcore on my CV that i went and worked with a photographer in america during the summer ha!! SOOO EXCITED! let's just hope it all goes to plan! i think im gona need to get another job here too, but in the day so i can juggle everything! 2012 is gona be amaaazing! can't believe we're at the end of jan already though! insane!
i definitely wana slim down for this now! and im gona get such a good tan wooooo! i love being brown :)
the only downside is that im gona miss out on a girls holiday (boo) but ill be back early september so i'd still have a couple of weeks at home so could see everyone and have lush nights out back in weybiza!!
i really miss home and im craving a night out there haha! it's so rubbish compared to here but it's weird how much i miss it cos when you go out there you kinda know everyone about! :)
it's gona be so nice to go home for easter for a reunion with all the girls and everyone :) especially to see sammie the crazy cat! we're always on the same wavelength in town haha!

im going to bed happy :) but have 9am lectures again.. wahh :( xxxxxxxxxx

Insomniac

So I can't sleep, SHOCK, and I'm just laying in bed thinking about all the tattoos I want but I'm too much of a wimp to get! I have sooo many ideas - only lickle ones - but first I need the bravery!!! and money obv :( boo everything comes down to moneeeey!
The first one I want is on my right foot which is gona be a paper aeroplane to represent my granddad (personal meaning) a bit like this.....
(found this pic on tumblr) but i only want one line of the loop de loop thingy behind it and no shading!

then the next tat i want after that is gona be a biggun!! but will be my only biggun so it's ok! :) atm my roommate alex's boyfriend is designing it (ollie) so im waiting for that reallyy but this is a couple of ideas i have... 


i reeeeeeeeeally want a dream catcher in this exact place! (left hip and thigh) not as big as these ones, but big enough to be able to see a bit if i wear shorts kinda thing. i think they're soo pretty. it does have a meaning though and im also having 4 beads in the middle of the netting to represent my parents and two sisters :) not sure on colours though but this is definitely want i want!!! :D

Temptation

I haven't wrote on here in over a week now but not a lot has actually changed! Same old poor student!
Good news is that I got the job being a photographer at Oceana, bad news is that I literally hate it. I can't quit though cos of loads of reasons like I don't want to be a quitter within the first month so I'm gona stick it out, I need the money even though it's rubbish - it's better than nothing. And it'll also look good on my CV for photography experience and it shows I work for my money (it's commission based).
I've been feeling pretty shit lately cos of the whole being poor situation, plus I don't get paid for another month so that's another month of living off my mum and I feel sooo bad for it! It's all because Student Finance are bellends and still haven't given me my grant which they owe me for TWO terms!! Guess it's a good thing that I will get double this time but I wana live life comfortably not worrying all the time! :( My sister suggested dropping out after this year and then working for next year to save up and apply for 2013 but I really don't want to do that. I've basically made my life here with amazing people I've met and I also don't wana have to go through making new friends again in possibly a different city. All this worry has made me miss home and all my best friends and family :(
Adding to this shitness, I desperately want to be smaller for the summer where I'm potentially either going on a girls holiday (which would be amaaaazing seeing as though Portugal was the best time ever and that was just with 2 of the girls, let alone the whole group!!) or i could be in America for the whole of summer, staying with the family my sister did Camp America with back in 2010 in Virginia!! I was so much smaller last summer cos of the 'heartbreak diet' I guess but when I came here everything's just been so tempting, let alone the 'empty calories' of drinking on nights out!  I'm definitely trying now though and I want to be smaller by the time I go home for easter at the end of March so fingers crossed guysss!
AMAZINGGG PORTUGAL 2011 :)

In other news we've pretty much found our dream house for next year! It's for 7 of us this time cos Beata's coming with ussss! We'll always be Breach house bitches though :) haha. I'm so excited to move in to a house, let alone have a gigantic room!!!! Plus it has TWO kitchens and TWO BATHS!! What luxuries!! I don't even like baths cos I don't think they get you clean cos you're washing in your dirty water but still! I don't have the option here hahaha!
Breach at Christnasss! (plus Lucilla, Zoy's friend, and Beata!!)

enough of my whinging, i'm off to bed!! 9am lectures wooooo...... xxxx

Nervous!

Only went out once this week and that was last night at forum woo! I had a job interview to be a photographer at oceana haha and I have a trial night tonight but dont start til 10! feels so weird.
the flat's lonely this weekend cos alex & sarah aren't here and some of the boys have gone to leeds so manor's a bit quiet but next week should be good :) plus it's mike's birthday and we're getting a booth wooo :)
the most annoying thing ever happened though! my levi 501's got sent to my home address so i didnt have them to wear last night and then i missed the post man today so i have to collect them from the post office (which i dont know where it is) so this is a slight issue... haha. ill post a pic when i finally have them in my possession!
