November Blogging Month

Sunday, November 01, 2009

Hello, how are you all this fine evening? (^.^)

I am very pleased to be telling you that its that time of year where the ‘November Blogging month’ is upon us. I’m viewing it as a real challenge so I stay motivated to do it, as you know my blogging habits could be described as pretty sporadic. Last year I successfully completed the challenge and this year I’m hoping to do just as well.

If you would like to take part then pop on over to Oh-Vintage to check out the details. You need to do this fairly quickly as the challenge has already started today. It would be great if you could put this banner at the top of your first post; basically just to help with promoting the challenge and to let people know you’re taking part.

Now that’s all clear I shall get on with my blog!

Yesterday I went to the theatre to see Disney’s Beauty and the Beast with Chris. It was a belated present for our 3 years of being together. All I can say is, what a show! It was brilliant. The actors, the singing/dancing, stage effects, orchestra and atmosphere was amazing. I was really glad that we had got tickets early as we had perfect seats where we could see everything.

It also helped that I was with Chris as it was so romantic (he bought us ice-cream during the intermission and he looked gorgeous with his new glasses on). So thanks Chris for making that a wonderful evening and night (I stayed over at his house!). We even slept in this morning, it just goes to show that we are both not morning people.

In my last post I said that I had a bad cold and you’ll be happy to know that it has long since cleared up. Finally I can breathe easily again and I don’t have to act like a geeky mouth breather (actually I’m still geeky… but in a sexy way, yes?).

University has been keeping me busy and I have a huge reading list to get through. I’m doing a bit of research for an essay I’m going to write. I’m not entirely sure which topic I should do, its between a child language acquisition question or the “is language innate” question. I’m so indecisive. Is anyone else indecisive or is it just me? (^.^);;

 

While I’ve not been reading books I’ve been browsing around on the Internet and behold I have found something I want.

The latest thing I want:

Yes, it is a pink DS Lite (don’t act like you didn’t know it was going to be pink!). Don’t get me wrong, I love my big DS but its just that the screens are so much brighter on Lites. Plus they weigh less so that means it won’t break my hands after I spend hours playing on it. This isn’t really a want but more of a need. A gamer like me should never be without the required equipment. Maybe my parents will buy it me for my birthday (hint, hint).

I also need a new phone but I can’t decide which one to get. I guess I’m just fussy like that. (#^.^#)

Well I’m going now, but I shall return tomorrow!

Take care. xx

University feels too soon

Sunday, November 30, 2008

I can't believe it's the end of November already, the month just seems to have flown by. Oh-Vintage's blog everyday for a month challenge has ended too and I'm happy to say that I have done it! :)
It was really fun, I think I'm going to carry on blogging everyday seen as I liked it so much.

People are already getting offers back from universities! It's scary because I haven't even sent my application off yet. I just need to do a few final things on it and then it will be ready. No point rushing it and making a mess right? The official deadline is not while the 15th of January but I plan to send mine off way before Christmas. I can't leave something that important to the last minute!

I'm a little bit nervous to be honest, I mean we'll all be going our separate ways. Of course I'll still keep in touch with people, but I suppose I will miss college. We always joke around and have a good time. I hope I can still meet up with people and go to the cinema like we always do.

I'm looking forward to Christmas, I just love all the festivities and atmosphere. Well, apart from the atmosphere at the local shopping center (that can get pretty scary when last minute shoppers are out!).

I have an advent calender too, which is just super cute! I didn't ask for one this year because I thought I was too old for them but Greg came in my room and held up my calender! Turns out my mum had just gone and bought me one (thank you!). I asked her why she had bought me one because I thought I was too old and she replied, "Of course you not too old!". Aw, she's kind. :)

All this talk about Christmas reminds me I need to write out my Christmas card list. I have some really cute cards this year to give out. Tee-hee! ^_^;

Well, I'm going to get an early night tonight (after I've read some manga!).

Bye. xx<3

I survived Halloween

Saturday, November 01, 2008



Konbanwa. How are you this evening? I've decided to try this blog challenge for November. All I have to do is blog every single day for a month, it isn't so hard. The only thing that may cause reason for concern is my sieve-like memory.

Knowing me (and I think I know myself pretty well) I'll start out really committed and think I'm actually doing well when one day I forget about it completely, resulting in me failing the challenge. Well I'm not taking any chances, I'm actually going to write myself a sticky note to remind me. If you have a blog and would like to take part in the challenge hurry and click on the banner at the top of this post, you have to get your entry in now. I know I've left writing a blog quite late but I've been busy with my linguistic investigation for my English Language coursework.

As you know it was Halloween yesterday, I hope you had a good time. I would have blogged if I hadn't been on constant alert for trick or treaters. Ready to jump for the door and throw several bags of Haribo sweets at them before swiftly shutting the door. Surprisingly there weren't as many preteens out as I thought there would be. They were all probably trying to sneak into the 5th Saw film.

We have so many sweets left over now, if any of my college friends like sweets they're going to love me when I go back to college on Monday. Free sweets for all!

If you haven't already read my previous blog entry please read it now and feel free to comment. You will find out why I am scared of my dentist, I assure you its an interesting Students Tale!

I haven't really been up to much today other than coursework, so I'm sorry for the randomness.

I'm waiting for my 'Tokyo Mew Mew' manga to come, but the site says its waiting for new stock so I don't know how long its going to be! I like to take manga to read in college when I have nothing to do. I usually sit on a bench before my Media class and read some then!

Well I'm going now, this blog was really just to tell you about the challenge! So I'll see you tomorrow. :)
