This week i've been getting back into the swing of things. I haven't done hardly any work for my course since i've got back, which is veyr naughty but i bought a jeffery deaver book in a 'book for a buck' sale in america last week and stupidly started reading it, meaning that i haven't been able to do any work until i finished it, which luckily i ( Read more... )

Hi. I feel like i've been away for a hell of a long time, much longer than the 3 weeks or so that i actually have been. Canada was beautiful, the Rockies have some of the most awesome sights i've ever seen - if any of you ever think of going, i'd recommend Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and the Banff Springs Hotel more than anything else i think as ( Read more... )

It feels soooo good to be back home. I've had a brief trip away to my bedfordshire home to go to the dentists (not a pleasant trip), pick up my holiday tickets (which i'm half really looking forward to as i'm sure the sights will be breathtaking and half dreading, as i don't like the thought of being away from here again with no form of ( Read more... )

So i've been nannying in london the past two weeks with four children, which has involved very early mornings (my body disagrees with getting up before 6am on principle) and long days, but i do enjoy spending time with the children, especially when they behave. I've really missed home though and paul, and i'm glad to be going back tonight. I can't ( Read more... )

Well i've now spent my week at home that i was planning to this summer. It's been ok, nothing too dramatic happened. I got my primary school experience organised at the primary school i went to (aaahhh, how cute), and i've got some secondary experience planned for next tues and wed at my middle school - to those of you who know me well, yes, the ( Read more... )

Life is fairly cool at the moment. I graduated yesterday, and i was NOT the girl who fell over at the ceremony, so i count myself lucky. It took a while to pack up my room, and i havce the task this morning of unpacking evferything into this house for a while. My birthday was kinda cool, and when i got home i was sung to with a cake, and given a ( Read more... )

It's my birthday, and i'm 21!!! How cool! Happy birthday to me etc. I'm also graduating today, also pretty damn cool, but also a lot of hassle. We have a three hour rehearsal this morning, then have the procession and ceremony at about noon. This requires us all being up at ridiculously early times - like now for instance, 7am time. Before exams i' ( Read more... )

There are two reasons for the 'rah'. Firstly, because it's a general greeting among a few of my friends especially pete and sian when we see each other. Secondly, because cambridge is seeming quite 'rah' at the moment. You see, everyone is preparing for graduation and dressing up in hoods, having photo's taken with scrolls and mortar boards on and ( Read more... )

Hi. I'm now the proud owner of a 2.1 degree from cambridge. Hurrah. Everyone has pretty much got 2.1's that i know of, except for laurence and sally who have both got firsts. Pete may get a first tomorrow too, but we won't know til then. Congratulations to everyone ( Read more... )

The past week has been really busy, like off the scale busy 'would you believe' (Jennie's new phrase you said at least 4 times during our 5 minute conversation last night). On Friday morning I dropped Phil and Ste at the train station and picked up newly-americanised Sian, then paul and I headed off to lincolnshire. This was a very welcome break ( Read more... )
