Lists lists lists...

I have two lists to update you with, BUT thats boring reading all in one post so I'll spread them out...and being me, that means none today. I am lazy, not all the time, but today has been such a slow and uneventful day that I feel like being slow and uneventful. I will however tell you titles. I forgot to post the TV theme songs from last week, and this weeks was Pizza toppings (things you put on pizza, not combinations). AND for next week it is 80s Music!!! I can't wait to start that list! :)

More people are back so we are having a 'party' tonight, maybe 80s music research will get me out of this lazy mood!!!

Quick Update

Lots of people are coming back to Durham now. SO exciting!! Hehe. I like seeing people again. :)

I haven't done much creative lately...I hope that will change once I feel settled.

My room is starting to come together...but I'm not happy with it yet.

I need food. Need to stock up on lots of yummy food. :)

Thats about it at the moment. You?

Will update with some wonderful pictures and stuff...but for now I think I'm going to rest. :)

Wouldn't it be interesting...

...if you could see what your life would be like if you had made a different choice.

I've always wondered what it would be like if I had chosen to do things a different way. I'm not sure it would always be a good thing to know, because what if it's better than what you have now and you can't go back and change that choice? It would be interesting though...

-Buy myself a new camera.
-Once I've bought the camera, take photos at least once a week.
-Update my blog at least every other day.
-Do more things for myself.
-Try to make time every Saturday to do something creative.
-Try and focus on positives instead of negatives.
-Drink more water.
-Unless on an amazing night out, go to bed before 12.

Could you get any cuter?

10 things I love...

1. My new layout.

5. Oscar Wilde quotes:
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable we have to alter it every six months.
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

6. Giraffes...they are so funny looking yet pretty.

7. Ben and Jerry's...so yum!

8. Taking photos of feet.

9. Laughter.
"If every word I said could make you laugh, I'd talk forever..."

10. Going back to University and seeing my friends again!! :)

I miss you...

Autumn is here...

As of the 2nd of September the weather here has been quite dismal. The temperature is still in the twenties, but we've had grey clouds and rain everyday. To be honest I'm loving it. I actually wish it was a bit colder, so I could wear jumpers and scarves, and be all snuggly. :) But it's not long until I'm back in England, so it shouldn't be long until I can wear jumpers! Hehe.

I'm really looking forward to all the leaves changing colour, and hearing that lovely crunching of them as I walk over them. I do love Autumn.

Time to get ready.

I've spent the last few days sitting around getting bored. I know I had plans of all sorts of creative things I wanted to do...but the more I thought about it, the more I realised it'd be so impractical to make things here and then take them over to uni...so I haven't done much. I've gone into town numerous times, but that has still left me with many days of being home alone...so I've decided it's time to get ready for uni! To plan what I'm taking back, and what my dad will bring over. To start packing things, to go and buy new sheets (will now have a double bed!!) and to plan in my head what I want to do with my room. Am loving these colours from A. Hana Design:


Thinking I might use them as inspiration for my room. :)
I'm also going to try and do some pre-course research for Education. Been through a few past papers and found a few key themes that I could read up on, would save me a lot of time once term starts!

It's such a great feeling to start getting things done!

Les Paintings. :)

I like them. :)

I PAINTED!

I did some painting today...little things, and a big thing, that I have been planning for some time now. It feels so good to do some art again! :)

I will share pictures when I have charged my camera and can take some!! :D

PS: It's SEPTEMBER!!!
