New year, new me, new blog

Please do check out my new blog :) It's my attempt at getting some weight lost and finally being the me I want to be. At the moment it will include my diet progress, lists of each days meals, and tips for fussy eaters like me who are always put off diets by the given meal plan full of food we don't like!

Once I am on my way to resembling the person I want to be it will go into other aspects, such as finding make-up for super sensitive skin etc :)

Going Out

Well now, it is well known that it is rare for me to be found out of bed and particularly out of my pyjamas on an evening however tonight I shall be breaking that tradition. I am the President of the South Park society at uni and tonight we are having a social. We are going to the Graduate in Sheffield, a pub. I know, shocking right? I really hope people turn up though, otherwise the shedding of pyjamas and the braving of icy pavements will be for nothing. I'll keep you posted.

Had a lecture and seminar today - Children's Literature, looking at Alice in Wonderland. I'm also happy to report my classes were sorted out and I have been put into an earlier seminar so it wont affect my teaching yey. I'm glad cos I really did want to go to these seminars, I have been really enjoying the books. Today i finished listening to the Northern Lights audio book and I am almost finished The Secret Garden. I am ahead on my reading for uni which feels so good.

Organisational Nightmare

So, I am currently waiting to hear from my course leader about whether or not I will be able to switch seminar groups. Basically i am doing a module called Writer as Teacher where I go into a school once a week and take an English class. I am also taking a Children's Literature module and this is where the problem starts. I am supposed to be in an 11:30am seminar that finishes at 1pm. This would be all well and good if the only time the school were able to take me on wasn't 1:05pm. The school is about 40mins away on the bus so you see my problem. Anyway I really want to be able to go to the seminars so at the moment I am just waiting and hoping.

I have been told I should get adsense on my blog, but I really don't know, I just don't trust giving my bank details to the internet lol. I guess I will think about it.

C was over this weekend and we watched the last Jurassic park (after he managed to talk me into watching the first a few weekends ago and then I bought him to box set for his birthday). The third wasn't great but oh well. We have also been really big on The Office US, which I really wasn't expecting to like.

Anyway that's all for now. I shall attempt to post again and to try keep up the one a day posts :)

So, You Like Games, Huh?

Ok so lets skip the "I'm so sorry I haven't posted" posts and go straight to something I want to flag up. The main thing is a blog for a game currently in development - Forlorn 2. See blog here. Don't be put off by the 2, I haven't played the first one either but I fully intend on playing the second. Keep checking the blog for updates on how the development is going, and they need all the support they can get so go on, follow, comment, show your love :)

Secondly I am going to start trying to find the time to get this going again because last year I did a big push at trying to help new students and I think I am going to do the same thing again, so check back soon for more updates, discussions, insights into student life and my general rambling.

Oh!

We have hamsters!

The white one is called Nibbler because she bits, A LOT! The brown one is Fudge Cake (Named by me unsurprisingly) We have had them about three months and they are the cutest things ever!

A New Start

With this blog; I think it is time. I have been neglectful and possibly should be taken to blogger jail and have my blog taken away and cared for by someone else.

A quick catch up with my life so far:
I have finished my first year at uni and got 62% overall which is a 2:1 which is good! To all you people who don't know uni jargon, 70% is a First and that is what everyone aims for really (I know its stupid but that's just the way it is!)
I have LITERALLY become obsessed with Stephen King, he is a fantastic writer and is my new role model.
At the minute I am back home because uni is finished until September, we finished in April though! I can move into my new flat on the 14th of July though and I am pretty excited. I am living with two really nice girls, should be fun :)
My friend and I have submitted our finished novel to a competition and are waiting impatiently to hear from them. They say we should hear by late July whether we have been shortlisted. The prize is a publishing contract which is really exciting!
I have been to France to visit the family and it was really good but the weather was disappointing. My sisters are growing up beautifully, but way too quick!
Other than that I still really have no life what so ever, but I am determined to return to pointlessly filling this blog with my ramblings :)

Today Sheffield, Tomorrow, the Rest of the World

Me and my boyfriend have decided to start saving seriously for a trip, if not around the world, then at least around Europe or America/Canada. And you all thought I never actually get out. Well yes, I suppose this blog's name is a little ironic seen as though I don't really ever go anywhere, but in about two years I will hopefully be jetting off into the world. So, I am officially taking suggestions on what countries/cities to visit, anyone got any suggestions? :)
