Sober?!

Here's to alcohol: the cause of, and answer to, all of life's problems. - Matt Groening

So this is the first blog post from the new uni year! "What took you so long?" I hear you cry. Well there was nothing really to write about for the first month. I also thought that resuming my posting with a post a day for a month would be interesting. Now I know what your asking "Why are you doing a post a day for a month?!" Well dear reader (do I sound too much like a stuck up writer?) that would be because my housemates and I are doing Go sober for October. If you don't know what this is it's pretty self explanatory, we as a team are going sober for the month of October, not just for our own health but also for a good cause, we will be asking people to sponsor us and any money we raise will be going to Macmillan cancer support.       

This will be my introductory post so I'm going to end it here but tomorrow I will start posting everyday for 31 days and will also introduce you to my housemates!

New blog name?!

The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance. -Nathaniel Branden

Yes I know I've done it again I've gone and forgotten you, but I'm back I promise! And with this new being backedness(?) I have a new blog name as I have come to realise that I am no longer a teenager, it's been this was for roughly 6/7 months now, but I think I've finally come to accept that I am no longer classed as a teenager and I think this realisation may have come the other day when sat on the floor of my mothers hotel room slightly drunk (it was my step brothers wedding)  I turned and looked up at my mum and said this time in a week I'll have my own house?! Yep thats right my own house! Well it's rented and I'll be sharing it with 6 other people but it will be ours and it will be the first of many for all of us!  

Anyway right now after spending way to long away from any of my friends (family?!) and Cheltenham, I'm missing them quite a lot (even those who nominate me to do ice bucket challenges!!) and really cant wait to get into the house and see everyone again! I've got to the point where I'm not excited any more just bored with waiting as I'm sure Ma and Ry are very bored of hearing! 

Next Monday I also get my car back after almost a year (about 2 weeks shy of a year actually) and I really can't wait, although I'm a tad apprehensive as I basically have to relearn to drive! Or at least remember. 

I wont update you about my summer because 1) I can't remember it all and 2) Effort really! I know I'm lazy, I'll start up the blogging again properly when I get all moved in to the house and I'll introduce you all to my lovely housemates (even though some of them are regulars on here)

Goodnight People!!

All the cry's

Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with. -Mac MacGuff, Juno.

The above quote is what Megan decided that her goodbye letter to me would start with, I didn't even manage to get a sentence in without tearing up and refusing to read it, well at least until people wern't paying attention to me then I read it on my own and dealt with my emotions quietly, I'm trying to save on the tears, I couldn't deal with crying to much in one night :(

Tonight is a very sad night as it the last we will spend with our wonderful American flatmates, as of now we have less than an hour until they leave for the airport at 5:15am. As its their last night and they're leaving so early flats 4100 and 5300 decided to do an all nighter, one final blow out night to remember and say goodbye properly, I think that the laughter and happiness in the room right now is  a moments notice away from turning in to complete and utter sobbing, no one wants to mention then inevitable incase they set everyone off.

Despite the sadness thats washing over me right now i don't think i'd have it any other way, I'm glad that they decided to come and study abroad and that they chose Cheltenham because I got to meet some of the nicest, funniest and weirdest people, and i don't know what i would have done this semester with out them. 

I'm going to miss you guy's and so is everyone else, we love you <3 

Goodnight

Sorry...

Nothing will work unless you do.

- Maya Angelou

So since my last blog post it has been the Easter holidays, I spent 2 weeks with my mama on the canal boat just reading and relaxing, I also steered the boat, I was not fond of this!! As you can see I'm more comfortable being a passenger than the driver! 

The next week I went down to St Ives and was fully expecting to have a lovely week, it started out nice as it was Ryan's mum's birthday so we did some stuff for that over 2 days and then Ryan went and got himself a throat infection meaning i didn't get to do any of the things that Ry had planned and i got to play nurse maid for the rest of the week :( 

We came back to uni about a week ago and at the start of the week it looked like i had nothing to do and by the Monday evening I had a jam packed week that left not time to do anything we had planned once again, so now as well as having to make a film for our sound project I'm also acting in it, great -_-it also has to be re-filmed which should be fun argh.

Also I have a result from the uni about the module I failed and, drum roll please, I passed I don't have to retake it next year which means i don't have to pay like £2000 YAY go me!! 

Anyway now its the weekend and Lowri (Kirsten's friend) is here and we're having a fun day before i have to re-film on Sunday, that's all for this post really i thought it would be more exciting but as it turns out i was wrong oops

Thank you & goodbye

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
