Essay Writting

Id been making notes in a word document for writing my essay but they were all out of sequence so i printed them off, highlighted the good ones, cut them out and paperclipped them to a piece of paper in the write order, pretty aint it? =p Also have a notice board covered in kinda rubbishy hand written notes, I cant figure out how to delete or rotate this picture, blogger hates me =[

Bit of old school Ramus while im writing an HR essay (8) I've been watching, I've been waiting In the shadows for my time (8)

Crafty bugger

Yesterday i showed you what half a magazine cut up and glued together looked like so today i thought id show you :
a) what an entire magazine cut up and glued together looks like

b) What it looks like when you make said cut up and glued pieces into circles

and c) just a general unfinished craft messy

Tomorrow

Well tomorrows gonna be interesting, i have a library book due back im not finished using and articles i was meant to have read but haven't then i get to come home and to cap it all off spend my day writing an HR essay. Its not hard just really god dam boring. But then i can see the light at the end of the tunnel - Its pretty much EASTER!
Just discovered the dent in the back of my netbook that I thought was me being careless with it was actually my dad melting it with a candle.
Fringe has dried in the completely opposite direction, its weird looking.....

Getting a Kindle!

Getting one for my birthday and the covers pink, almost girly. Gonna be able to stop carrying around books that i can bend and rip and break, i can feel u freaking out from here Scott =p

Things you learn as a first year student

Free software can be a good send

It is not possible to do coursework with someone else in the room even if you tell yourself it is

Dont sit down, offer a hello and keep walking!

Do your coursework early, do group work earlier, so it all, do it right and feel smug that its done

Dont take people at face value, they may tell you theyve done badly, they havent.

Dont be so morale you fail your course, fricken use the "resoures"

Even when winging it some preperation is better than none.

Email before the night before when your not actually sure what your ment to be submitting.

Don't say youll do things you won't

Don't leave it so late that your nearly dead by the time you've ran up the hill.

Short cut through Royal College is a life saver.

If it can be avoided don't stay in Halls.

Dont sit next to a window in a tutorial you will either freeze in the draft or roast in the sun.

Never stress to much, its not the end of the world.

Open your mouth and speak to people but not to the point you look utterly mental.

As soon as theirs sun in the sky, everyone will appear in shorts, it really isnt that warm.

Lectures are not mandatory.

Lecturers never email you the important stuff but instead leave you to scour myplace for the relevant information, leave no stone unturned.

Get a cracking summer holiday

Enjoy your time off.

Take MDP a wee bit more seriousl, but not to much
You know its bad when you start typing in a completely different web address and end up typing facebook.com

Drawers


Got this ages ago when Adams shut down and been meaning to do something with it for ages. Sanded it all down last week and stuck a basecoat of white paint on, still working on finishing it.
Curly haired old picture of me

look closely


Awww

Old picture's

Such an old picture, took me ages to put the colour back in.

Trying and failing

I've got most of my bus tech piece written but i just cant motivate myself to finish it. Been staring kinda blankly at the screen for the last five minutes trying to work up the enthusiasm to get it done, Right now it just aint happening.
Its not hard its just tedious.

Day just improved =]

From the Dominos UK and Ireland facebook page
"Ordered a medium meateor with potatoe wedges online from Irvine, North Ayrhsire store. Had a mix up online as it updated to say it was delivered but it hadn't been so phoned the store to be sure, and the girl couldn't have been more polite, explained it was on it's way and 5 mins later it was here. lovely pizza and great service. :)"
I remember this order from last night, was really chuffed i got a mention on the national facebook page. Put a smile on my face when i read that =]

LION!

This is why i dont blow dry my hair and straighten it to the high heavens. I look like a lion lol. Under it all though it is fairly straight its just the top layers that make it look puffy.

sandwich!!


Just had to share the amazing sandwich i made for lunch yesterday, a scoobie snack if ever there was one =] Lettuce, cucumber, ham and mozerella, yum yum

Kindle

Its pink and girly. And in the post =]

Anti-social socialness

Would it be possible to quit facebook ?

When you really sit down and think about it I'm sure most people are actually unable to stop using facebook. It has become the primary mode of communication for so many things, social activites, work, uni. If you stopped using it there is the possibility that you would miss out on things in the real world.

Its a scary when you realise you actually maintain your second online self - deleting comments, uploading pictures, commenting on statuses etc

And even as a type this i get an email from facebook.....

Victoria Sponge





Made a victoria sponge for the people for work. Turned out rather well

Ikea -> Desk!

Went a wee shopping trip yesterday to Ikea with mum to buy tea lights and came across a rather pretty desk. Im a bit fed up of sitting on my bedroom floor when im doing uni work, it gets a bit painful after a while. Regrettably to make space for said pretty desk I've had to get rid of my less well constructed bookcase *sobs* so now all my books are in boxes =[


Nice big empty and hoover space for said desk

Me constructing said desk, which i actually managed without any major mistakes, rather proud of myself for that.

Done desk!! Just need a chair now and I'm laughing but its nice to have a proper place to sit and work rather than crushing my insides.


The back behind the computer monitor is magnetic aswell which i rather like so i will need to request funky magnets for my birthday =]
Awww <3

SHROOMS!


Why do people not like these? Have they never tried them ? I know they're not the most appitising looking food in the world but they are really lovely. Through pasta or on pizza or with a burger. yum yum

Strange Day

Woke up really rather early today, im talking twenty to nine early and actually got up. Impressed myself right there for a start.

Went to tesco and got pan au chocolat for breakfast and a sunday paper for mum, cause im good like that

Came home and ate the afore mentioned yummy french things and actually did some uni work, i know gasp =p Found a free trial of software that lets me do process mapping, excited to a giddy degree.

Went to the garden centre, exciting life i know then came home and decided to go to B&Q with mum AND I DROVE!! She didnt freak out or anything and we didnt die, rather impressed with myself =]

So came home and did yet more uni work, bigger gasp while eating an amazing sandwich and watched the rugby the highlight of which was definitely the fox.

Then went to work, was only in for like 2 hours then came home and made amazing cheese toasties and sliced apple for dinner.

Sad moment = watched the antiques roadshow with mum

Filed down a small wonder desk tidy thing and painted it white while skyping with my dad.

And now blogging.

A good day i think youll agree
Fact of the day: My hands are covered in white paint

Tracks


Am i the only one who walks through Central Station and is hit by an urge just to get on a random train and see where they end up?
Sometimes i just get so bored with doing the same thing every single day. Day in day out. I havent done anything out of the ordinary in ages. No spur of the moment trips to eggy park. No car trips asides to KFC.

I'm getting itchy feet.

Rather glad im going abroad soon even if it is to clean.
My entire house smells like bacon a smell i am trying to replace with baking.
I have one gear, GO!

Fact of the day:

I don't think i could peel an orange if you gave me one =/

O

Snap!

I want to carry my camera with me more.

Its not like I'm going to catch anything all inspiring but just some little digital momentos of my time out and about.

Im singing in the rain

How cute are these little cupcakes? I dont really like cupcakes to eat but how cute are they to look at? I keep finding really cute pictures of cupcakes all iced up to look like different things and i really want to have a go at making some, might need to invest in cupcake molds. Figured i could make the umbrella out of chocolate, either that or buy little cocktail umbrellas, but doubt they'd stand up to the weather we're having at the moment.

Organisational Orgasm

Theres dokets and rails and baskets and storage and its shinney, i want!!

Lips

How can such a small body part play such a large part in life. They share ideas, pain and joy. Can whisper comfort or words of passion. Hold back secrets. Blow kisses to a loved ones or trail kisses down a neck. Can be used to tease and tickle or ease the tension. They are sometimes dry and rough or soft. Can taste like any number of things but they are always amazing.
It smells amazing but it BURNS!!!

Does this stuff ever happen in real life?

I love her smile. I love her hair. I love her knees. I love how she licks her lips before she talks. I love her heart shaped birthmark on her neck. I love it when she sleeps.


Its all so sweet and Aww'y. Its not a love story its a story that just happens to be about love. Someone borrowed my copy an i never got it back so been forced to buy a new copy. Just such a sweet little film to watch on a lazy day

"This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie 'The Graduate'. The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan, did not share this belief. Since the disintegration of her parent's marriage she'd only love two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story. "



Tom: Look, we don't have to put a label on it. That's fine. I get it. But, you know, I just... I need some consistency.
Summer: I know.
Tom: I need to know that you're not gonna wake up in the morning and feel differently. Summer: And I can't give you that. Nobody can.

Unproductive

Do you think that the more pressure you put on yourself to achieve the less you actually manage to do.

I knew i had a day off today and i told myself i would do uni work but i just cant focus on anything. I went shopping this morning and got stuff for dinner and checked the time I'm working at tomorrow and its about as productive as its got.

So far today, I've got out my HR stuff and jotted down a couple of thoughts about the question and then got bored and abandoned it in the middle of my bedroom floor. Watched prince of Persia (utter rubbish btw, don't waste your time), blogged about really random and totally insignificant stuff and cleaned my bedroom.

When I'm listening to music i want to be watching a film, when im watching a film i want to be reading a book. when I'm reading a book i want to be watching vampire diaries. I dont know what to do with myself!

I now feel like I've wasted my day =/
A month today and i'll be turning 20...... getting old!!

These boots were made for walking


oh yeahhh new shoes!!

Pretty

Its actually a hairband but think ill make it into something else.

Spree!!


Went on a wee shopping spree today. Everything except the belt in the picture is new. Need to buy a brown belt thou instead of the black one which totally doesnt match i know.
I so dont look impressed lol
