Its All About Me!

Wednesday

I had a good day today, with my little sister D. She had an interview at UCA for her degree in fashion promotion, which went really well so fingers crossed she has a place. The name is so cool: the university of creative arts, how amazing to go to a university called that. I often wonder if I could have an education 'do-over' if I would follow that route...I love my sciences too much, I think the arts for me are my hobby rather than my direction, but one can still dream...

We spent the day together at Bluewater which was painful as we were both kinda broke, but we still managed to have fun. After lunch at TGI's we wandered around the shops and a few books did fall into my bag...so it wasn't a total window shop.

I just enjoyed spending the day with my sister. This evening I am spending the evening with another of my favourite girls: the Gilmore Girls, series 1.

Book's That came into my house, 15th July 2009

Love in the present tense, Catherine Ryan Hyde - a swap from Read it swap it.
Pride and Prejudice and zombies, Jane Austin and Seth Grahame-smith - one of the purchases I made that caught my eye.
Black Widow, Jessie Keane, This is the new book club choice, not normally something I would read - think I need to hint about picking the next one....

Remember when...

I used to be quite creative and make things?? mmmm me too. I have been sitting here trying hard to make something but I think I have actually forgotten how! I even purchased some paper and stamps, in the hope that they would help me, I need to try and practice more...

 

I had a very hectic but lovely weekend, a wedding reception on Saturday and work on Sunday which was a struggle let me tell you. I have finally caught up on my sleep, in preparation for what is quite possibly the worst shift ever: Thursday, Friday and Saturday night...OMG... The brightside is that it is in the new birth unit which opened last week so low-risk birth's here I come!

Lots of books have been leaving/entering my house, I joined another book swapping site bookmooch which has made my postman very busy! No your eyes do not deceive you I did indeed purchase the limited edition copies of Twilight...Sad: yeah quite possibly...

 

I only managed to read three books last week; The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen, Cat Detective by Vicky Hall. My pile of books that need to be read are mounting up everyday..I just can't stop myself adding to the collection though, book addict: yeah we kinda know that lol!.

This book continues to be a struggle, I am reading it for a book club with my friends and I just don't like it.... I will save my review/opinion for the next meeting in August.

Ok I really need to go and scrap something! wish me luck...

Time on my hands!

What a luxury :)

I finally finished my academic work for year one which is such a relief I can tell you! I have my placement to complete, which is 5 weeks then once my portfolio has been passed by the exam board I am officially a second year! and yes I am so pleased I made it this far...2 years of study out of 4 makes me half way already, and it has gone so fast! I fully intend to be a much more organised student next year (something I always promise) mostly because I haven't made things as easy for myself as they could be.

Mostly I am enjoying the freedom of no work to be completed, so I can read a book and not feel guilty. I have lots planned for my month off in August, mostly reading and hobbies. I have been hoarding books all year and my pile to be read is huuuuge. I have also got lots of photos to scrap so I will be busy!

I have lots of photos to add but I think I'll save them for tomorrow...
