Life isn't so bad

Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears. -Gillian Anderson

So I had a meeting with the head of my course the other day about me having to retake a module next year because of you know the failure, however it seems that if I send her my work and certain pieces of evidence then she'll submit it to the academic board for review and hopefully with get a grade and not have to take it again next year! YAY!!!  

In other news Kirsten decided that she was going to cook a roast for everyone with my help! We well and truly pulled it off! Kirsten cooked roast pork under my mothers guideline and form what I can tell it was thoroughly enjoyed, I in true awkward fashion had my normal chicken and Megan just had veg. Everyone cleared their plates and some (Eric) even went in for some seconds. The crackling worked the veg was cooked perfectly, even if there were some issues with the amount cooked (we underestimated A LOT) and I made roast potatoes to rival my Ma's! Proud! Everyone is now either sat around on there computer/phone with a fat belly or fallen in to a food coma. Unfortunately Ryan had an assignment due in to day so was unable to join us :( but we saved him some so he can gave us individual praise later hehe.

That's actually it for this blog post I just really wanted to brag about our successful roast! Kirsten I will do the tag one soon I promise!!

Thank you & goodnight

And another one... "my first time"

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go. -Dr. Seuss

Yep she's done it again! Kirsten has tagged me in another tag post! and if i don't do them she'll attack me in my sleep!

So here it is this is the My First Time tag, a post where I will tell you a series of the first time things happened to me!

First Best Friend - 

I'm pretty sure that when I lived in Portsmouth when I was young I had a best friend called Lucy? But considering I cant really remember her I'm going to say Lottie Freeman, she was my best friend from the age of 4 and during secondary school she was like a sister to me and a daughter to my mum, we are not longer as close as we used to be, however I still consider her one of my close friends

First Kiss -

When I was 12/13, it was in a park down the road from my house and was as far from pleasant as you can get.

 

First Concert -

Robbie Williams! My mum took me with her and her friend to see him at Milton Keynes bowl when i was in year 7 it was amazing and I will never forget it!

 

First Celebrity Crush -

I'm pretty sure this was also Robbie Williams! I blame my mother!!

First Word - 

Megan was my first word, Megan was my Nan's dog, my mum was seriously annoyed with me when I first said it!

First Pet - 

A cat called Missy, she was a black cat that was the definition of evil.

First Job - 

I was a paper girl when i was 13/14? I was not a good paper girl.

First Phone - 

It was a Nokia with an Eeyore cover, I used it mainly to play snake.

First Tweet - 

Damn, going to fail media but I'm going to do it in style

First Make-Up - 

Pretty sure it was a lip gloss or something my mama got me for Christmas. 

Well that's that hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you & Goodnight!

Another tag!

It's kind of fun to do the impossible. -Walt Disney

So Kirsten has once again tagged me in a post and I fear she may have tagged me in more but here it goes, the 5 people you would want at a dinner party and why, also bonus round what would you serve!! 

Firstly my idol Audrey Hepburn. Not only was she a beautiful woman, she was also a trained ballet dancer, an amazing actress and a UNICEF goodwill ambassador who unlike her contemporaries was taken by cancer not drugs at the age of 63.

Secondly, one of the reasons I am a film production student, Tim Burton, from a young age I watched his films see how magical and mystical they are and how not everything is as it seems. This man literally gave me my love of film and taught me never to give up on something your passionate about.

Thirdly, Ellen DeGeneres because who doesn't love Ellen. But seriously not only is she hilarious but she has a loving heart, is tolerant of everyone and is the voice of one of my most beloved Pixar characters, Dory, I don't think the character would have been the same with out her input.

Fourthly, moving in to fictional territory because seriously its me and I live half my life in books, Arthur "Boo" Radley from Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, ever since year 11 when I was made to read it for my GCSE this has been my favourite book and even though half the characters in the book are misunderstood and are relatable I think that Boo Radley is my favourite of them all, at the beginning the children all live in fear of the terrible Radley house namely Boo, in a childish decision they decided to try and coax him out but in the process end up making a friend who by the end save one of them from being killed, its yet another thing that taught me not to judge a book by its cover. Also Me and best friend Jack often sit and quote the book to each other.

Lastly, no photo for this one as I don't own one, my Great Nan Mary Cobbett. I chose her so I can meet the woman that my Mum is so proud to call her Nan and who raised a woman that I am proud to call my Nan.  

For dinner I think I would serve roast beef because I really like roast beef (hehe) and for desert apple pie, I've been craving my Nan's for a while now (no I'm not hinting!)

It's your turn Ma, I haven't seen you post anything for a while!

Thank you & Goodnight

You wait months for a post, then two come along on the same day.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. -Winston Churchill

"I'm in a tree!"

So March has been pretty nice so far, weather wise, so nice in fact that we have has some trips to the park yay for sun! We played football, basket ball and just lounged around it was so nice to be
 outside without a jumper on and to have fun and mess around with my friends (uni friends!!)  

I also got to realise one of my life long dreams this last weekend. I went to Cardiff with Ellie, Georgia, Ashley, Daniel, Stephen, Jaz and Austin to see one of my most favourite bands of all time Fall Out Boy the concert was amazing, Ellie and Georgia were crowd surfing, me and Stephen were quite literally fighting for our space and Austin got a shout out from Pete Wentz because he was wearing a daffodil hat and could been seen for MILES!! It was an amazing night although I was hurting all over! I also got to meet Kirsten's family (mum, nan and brother) and what Eric and Megan affectionately call Dog (a french bulldog whose actual name it Tilley) I have missed having a dog as Kirsten found out when I was playing with "Dog".

I did receive some bad news this week whilst editing our experimental piece for uni, unfortunately i have failed a compulsory module this year and need to speak to my tutor about it, i have a meeting with her on Thursday and I'm dreading it, this was literally one of my worst nightmares and could have easily cried about it for days on end, however i have and amazing mama and just as amazing friends as they cheered me right up and even managed to calm me down. Hopefully everything will go ok tomorrow the worst that could happen is being made to take that module again next year which i don't mind, my problem with that is it costs £1030 to retake it *GULP* oh well just wish me luck and I'll update you next time!

Thank you & good night

Lets have a catch up

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same. -Elbert Hubbard

So in my last proper blog post I may have possibly made a promise that apparently I can't keep, I said I wouldn't leave it a month to update yet here we are three months from Christmas and you've only had a tag post, I AM SORRY, I will never get away from saying that phrase! Any way on with the catching up I feel this may have to be a long one!! 

Me, Nan and Grandad at Christmas dinner

So I spent most of the Christmas period with Kirsten in halls we didn't really do much apart from mope around all day and watch copious amounts of TV she had a Christmas temp job to go to so actually got out of the flat every now and then I however did nothing, I was waiting for proper Christmas to go and spend some time with my Mama, Nan, Grandad and Step-dad on the boat for Christmas day. I really enjoyed being with my Nan on Christmas for a change and she really enjoyed the present I made for her!

For New Years I was down in St Ives with Ryan we went to the Eden project, had a look around the biomes and ice skated, which Ryan was surprisingly good at, I however had deteriorated since my last days on the ice and  my hips had a huge impact on this (never damaged your hips if you do then almost everything is ruined), we also went to penzance and had a small shop, I got to go to a beach and the waves were HUGE I was so happy to be near the sea again, for new years eve we went out to St Ives itself dressed as mimes, apparently dressing up to celebrate new year is a tradition in St Ives, we had a good time in a small club and watched the fireworks go off from inside as it was pouring it down, typical south west weather!! We then just laid around like slobs for the rest of the time there.

The first week of January brought our brand new bunch of Americans! Yay! We got two girls, Megan and Brie and guy, Ben. These Americans are a lot more sociable than our last lot and we adore them!  Not much else really happened in January apart from starting our second semester of uni, Ryan and I decided that we wanted to start making proper food not just processed and frozen stuff or especially pizza our biggest vice. I think we've done alright and we haven't starved yet! We did have Jazmin's and Austin's birthdays so we had a movie night and went out for their respective days, and we FINALLY got our flat photo! YAY!

Kirsten, Me and Emily 

Me,Kirsten and Ryan

Eric, Ben, Ryan, Me, Kirsten, Brie and Megan. Our Flat

 

Finally February, the greatest month of the year, arrived! it was Georgia's, Eric's and my birthdays within about two weeks of each other, we had a movie night and food for Eric, with an amazing cake made by oneself :) and I got a surprise meal with both flats in Nandos, I was not expecting it and was soo happy i couldn't contain myself, nothing to do with the two vodka lemonades i was made to down (RYAN!! get your timing better), on my actual birthday my mama and step-dad came down and took me out to lunch at weatherspoons, it was very tasty, i then went back to the flat and watched the rugby, interesting when you have one welsh person in a flat full of English people! I got so many cards and presents for my birthday and i loved them all! Thank you everyone!

I also went to visit Ma the day after valentines as she was stuck in the same mariner she had been in at Christmas, waiting for the water levels to recede, let just say that i could have gone swimming on what was once a road!! it was a nightmare! but i did get to have an explore of tewksbury, i saw the abbey they have which is BEAUTIFUL and all the pretty flowers i do love seeing colour in the world! Ma and i even took some selfies!

Well now that we are all caught up to March i shall talk about this months antics in another post, which will be up by the end of this week! Promise! 

Thank You & Goodbye!
