Slinky Dress

Wednesday 1st December 2010

Today's photo show's me trying on a beautiful dress in Karen Millen while Christmas pressie shopping with my sister. I had no intention of buying it, honestly. But I needed a new one, my sister offered to loan me the money and it is just gorgeous.... so I did *shame*.

Had some success present shopping and did some more online once I got home. Sister stayed for dinner (made rice with lemon sauce and veggies) and was happy my other housemate was back.

Quote of the Day:

Taken from David Thorne's website 27b/6:

"I have access to your Facebook page due to the friend request you accepted from the Oscar Wilde profile I constructed yesterday. I assumed the name would hold no relevance to you and, constancy being the last refuge of the unimaginative, I typed 'Redneck wearing baseball cap' into Google images to locate a photo you would identify and feel comfortable with." - http://www.27bslash6.com/foggot.html

First Snow

Tuesday 30th November 2010

Snow was forecast for today. This is what we got. It had disappeared by midday. I didn't make it to my 9am but did make it to all my other lectures today. It is so cold! I made sure I was wrapped up snuggly.

After dinner went over to my friends and we watched George Clooney in "The American". Bizarre film. Couldn't work out whether I liked it or not.

Snotty and 'orrible

Monday 29th November 2010

Today was a write off. I spent it all pretty much in bed. Feeling absolutely rubbish. Phoned in sick to work and just read while in bed. Not much else to say really!

Rearrangement

Sunday 28th November 2010

Went training this morning even though I had a sore throat. Knew it would be a bad idea because it just kept getting worse all through the day so ended up feeling very ill this evening.

Went to the pub after training and sister came back to mine to chill out. She left just as my other friend showed up so we started watching season 4 of Chuck.

I decided I was ill because there's a draught coming in through my window and my bed is right next to it (so my head is right next to it). To remedy this I rearranged my bedroom. Fun fun. Still feeling rubbish though :-(

Elbow Bruise

Saturday 27th November 2010

Today's photo show's the bruise I have on the inside of my right elbow from training last night. Owchies! But still happy about the session.

My sister came over today and we cooked dinner and watched the A-Team.

"Give me a minute I'm good. Give me an hour, I'm great. Give me six months, I'm unbeatable." - Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith (A-Team 2010)

I have no idea what you're saying...

... so I drew a tortoise!

Friday 26th November 2010

Today's photo is taken from my research skills lecture. They sprung a GSCE-grade statistics test on us. I haven't done maths in about 5 years, and I never did statistics for GCSE so I couldn't answer a single question. Neither could anyone else mind you. The above is my answer to a question involving tortoises.

Yes, I just drew a tortoise.

In other news... I handed in my assignment for research skills and then went training this evening. It was absolutely fantastic! Self-defence session and basically just hit each other a lot. Really good fun! Went to the pub afterwards and then back to mine to try my friend's family-made damson wine. Very yummy. Tasted like port. Mind you, after a couple of glasses I was asleep! Ooops.

Pineapple

Thursday 25th November 2010

Today's photo is rather boring. It's of the sky outside my window. It looked odd this evening.

I made it to my 10am - cycled there but the student didn't show. I stayed for an hour and a half and then left because technically I'm not meant to stay at all. My 3pm lecture wasn't too bad and then had a quiet evening in. Training wasn't on tonight as the martial arts room is being fixed after it was flooded. Went around my friend's for dinner and had a lovely catch up with another friend and her fiancee. They gave me a lift home and watched 'Chuck' - finished season 3 and wow! I was impressed.
