Weekend Visit. :)

My mum and sis arrived on Friday and stayed til Sunday. Was a whole bunch of fun. :) We didn't really do much, walked around town, looked in all the cute shops, played with the kitten...but it was just so nice to see them again. :) Here are some photos from our weekend.

Flowers!

To get ready for my mum and sister visiting I got some pretty flowers. I think flowers make a house so much nicer and happier. :) I'm feeling kinda nervous. They are visiting my house, this is the first time I've had my own house. (not just mine, living with friends...but you get what I mean?) I feel it needs to look nice for them. Hehe. The flowers below are in my room, they make it smell nice.
Been making all sorts of plans for what to do when they are here. I think I've got things planned. :) Hehe...I hope!

Gingerbread Men


We bought a little gingerbread man making set from Tesco's a few days ago. Finally remembered about them last night and had some fun decorating. The above one is mine, and the one below is Miriams. :)

Otherwise, not been up to much lately...just getting more confused about Linear Algebra, but I know most people don't care about maths so I won't expand. :P
Got a social tonight, for basketball! Wooo! Three legged social...worries me a little! But I am determined to have fun and make the most of it! :)

It rained...

Today it rained...typical northern weather. I really do need to buy myself an umbrella. Hehe.

I agree with Garfield.


Haha...attractive picture!

Mondays suck. I start lectures at 9, which isn't that bad. My tutor is nice, and I actually understand the maths. It's really the afternoons that I don't like. Maths, Education, Maths. URGH! I went to Education last week to ask if they could move the lecture, since that would only inconvenience 20ish people as opposed to 200. But they can't, not unless the lecturer comes to them directly, and I never have time to talk to the lecturer because I arrive to the lectures late, and have to run off at the end...I feel so deflated after that lecture. AND the maths lecturer wouldn't end early so I could get to the next lecture not so late, BUT he thought that wouldn't be fair on the rest of the students. I hate being the only one doing my subject, I don't have any voice. So I feel pretty bad, tired and grumpy at the end of Mondays. Garfield has it right.

EEE!


I got a new camera! :D Hehe!!! I am very excited about it, should be able to do a lot more than I could before. Not had much chance to play with it yet...I need pretty things to test it on. :P But I am loving it so far, still working out some of the settings, and what my favourites are, but YAY!!!

So if I have time during my busy weeks to go out and take photos, I will be updating them! :D I am so happy!

Camera!

I am thinking...that tomorrow...I MIGHT...buy a new camera. Been wanting a new one for ages, something that can take macro photos well, I LOVE macro photos. Found a camera I like, so if I am enrgetic enough to walk into town tomorrow, and ready for the commitment, I'm thinking of getting a Nikon Coolpix P90 Digital Camera. :O Yays!

Off to a 5:15 tutorial...I hate having to be at the science site at 5:15...4 times a week every other week, it's once inbetween...but thats a lot of long days! :( Oh well, I'll just have to suck it up!

Ta ta.

Right, so!

Old photo. :)

I haven't really been paying much attension to my blog recently. Mainly because University has started and I really want to settle in to the rythm. I'm still not settled, I don't want to do work, my legs kill from walking, and I'm sick...just like everyone else.

I will be back shortly though, I think. I've decided to try and stop making plans, and just do what I feel like doing. So if I feel like posting, I will. I plan so much, and don't ever do most of it, that I feel bad...which probably isn't good is it?

As well as failing at the blog promise I made to myself...I have been failing at most of the others. I'm not really being very positive at the moment, but I'm trying! I haven't got a new camera yet. I've not been doing much for myself. And I haven't done much creative. Hopefully, just doing whatever will let me do SOME of these...but we'll see.

I may be writing a lot more than I normally do, probably in the evenings, because I just need to talk somewhere sometimes, and this is easy. :) My days are also becoming more interesting, as I now have things to talk about...like lectures, and my legs hurting from all the walking! Also buying and cooking for myself, for the first time...and lacking a lot of veg. I just don't like picking it up to buy, like eating it...just forget to get it. Hehe...I'll sort that out eventually.

I could keep talking and talking....BUT I think with my health the way it is at the moment (cold, cough and achey legs) maybe some rest would be good. :)

PS: Sunday was 3 years with James. :) and they have been 3 happy years. :)
