Last Week's Shenanigans: My first week as an official adult.

So the end of my first week living in London has come and it's been a bit of a roller coaster with lots of change. I have enjoyed it though and I can't wait to tell you all about it!

Monday 8th: My third full day in the new flat and my last day off before heading to work the next day. I had a bit of a lazy day if I'm honest, watching a fair amount of TV and not doing an awful lot else. Finishing 'Coraline', I started on my next read: 'Aristotle & Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe' and found myself really getting into it! A man came to have a look at the fridge and told us we would need a new one, and one of the girls made some lovely Victoria Sponge to eat.

Tuesday 9th: My first shift at work, and I arrived pretty early. It mostly consisted of me settling in and finding my way round. Everyone was very welcoming and nice and I got to meet a lot of my new work colleagues. After, I found myself pretty tired but happy. I also travelled on the Tube alone there, but as I finished at 9 in the evening, Mat travelled home with me. When we got home, I wrote my Top Ten Tuesday post and went to bed. 

Wednesday 10th: I had my second day at work and again, really liked it. I'm so lucky really that I do like my job as full time can be pretty wearing. I started and finished earlier though, so I had a nice evening in after work to sit back and watch 'The Great British Bake Off', a show I love!  We also watched 'Our Zoo'.

Thursday 11th: Work again (yes this is getting repetitive) and I had a mini celebration that I had reached halfway through my week's shifts. .When I got home, we decided that we would watch 'Hot Fuzz', a film I haven't watched for quite some time. I loved seeing it again! We had popcorn too! 

Friday 12th: Did I mention I'm working five days a week? All in a row? Yeah, I worked again but Fridays are my shortest shifts of the week which was nice. After work we played Monopoly and had a really lovely evening in. Sadly, I didn't win but I absolutely love that game! 

Saturday 13th: My last shift of the week! I had a really good day too and remained in an amazing mood all day. Before I had work, Mat's parents and grandparents came to see us which was nice. I also found out that I achieved top sales in my first week which made me pretty happy. All in all, a good day.

Sunday 14th: Finally! A day off! I stayed in bed for quite a while, as I was pretty tired. Then I went shopping with Mat. I bought a lot of new clothes and some new work shoes, as the ones I bought last week were terribly painful. In the evening we watch a lot of Game Of Thrones!

Daily Shenanigans, 16/07/2014: Out and about!

Today actually turned out to be pretty busy for me. Mat came round pretty early this morning and we set about packing away our duplicate consoles, games, etc. to take into town and trade in. We actually ended up selling them for a pretty decent price which I was happy about! It was only after that that we realised just how much we had to do. We quickly drove to Mat's house to grab his Mini SD Card-Reader (my Mini SD Card is pretty knackered, which made me really sad) and a battery pack for one of the controllers (the one we gave in also turned out to be faulty). Then we drove to his friend George's house to sell a game, followed by another lady to sell another game, then back to town to hand in the aforementioned battery pack. After that, we went to the Designer Outlet to grab some lunch and do a spot of shopping for Hiking Boots in preparation for Wales, and something nice for Mat's Mum (it's her birthday tomorrow)!

After finishing all that, we could finally come home and relax. I continued reading while Mat played Devil May Cry on my PS3, and we both recovered from our pretty busy day. Tomorrow I have some bits and bobs to do (mostly packing), but I'll be posting my Life Of A Blogger post, reading 'Dragon's Curse' and doing a few blog bits and bobs too. For now though, sleep time.

Daily Shenanigans, 13/07/2014: Breaking the 'Book Buying Ban'!

Oops! I appear to, after three or four months of this ridiculous necessity to keep my shelves a bit clearer, have bought a couple of new books. Mat got them for me cheap at Tesco where he works and I'm very excited to read them. I bought Neil Gaiman's 'The Ocean At The End Of The Lane' and 'The Secrets Of Life And Death' by Rebecca Alexander. They both look like fantastic books and I can't wait to get into reading them at some point! Before I saw Mat this evening, I actually had work today. I ended up staying much longer than I was supposed to, so I was knackered when I got home. Mat had the car so he picked me up from the station and came round. I've been a little grumpy today so I won't make this post too long, as I want my bed.

Tomorrow is going to be so exciting because I'm off to watch Martin Freeman in Richard III with Mat, something that I never thought I'd get tickets for! We'll be in London for most of the day which I'm looking forward to.

Daily Shenanigans, 12/07/2014: My first ever Blog Tour Post and Giveaway!

Today marks a pretty special day for my blog guys. I took part in Vanessa Morton's Blog Tour for her debut novel, 'Moonfall'. I really enjoyed the book, so I've been looking forward to posting my review for it. As well as that, the post included my first Author Interview and first Giveaway too! That's a lot of firsts! It has been so much fun taking part, thank you to all those involved for letting me be part of the tour. If you're interested learning more (particularly about the Giveaway for a free book) then follow this link. After all that, I had work which was pretty stressful, but it went fairly quickly I suppose. Mat came over for an hour or so before heading to a friends, and he brought me a present of some chocolate-filled croissants because he knew I'd had a hectic day. It was such a nice gesture that it instantly made me feel ten times better.

Tomorrow I have work (again) and a Weekly Wishlist to upload. Hooray! For now though, time for bed.

Daily Shenanigans, 10/07/2014: Holiday approaching!

My morning started off pretty well, even tough I had to get up early. I had work but it was a pretty short shift today and it went so quickly. Before work though, I finished 'Lord Of The Flies' and wrote my Life Of A Blogger post! I didn't have time to do the review until much later on in the day though. After work I came home, quickly got changed, then went straight back out to Mat's! We went with his family to get all the necessary food and supplies for our trip to Wales next week, which I'm so looking forward to! Last time I went to Wales, I visited a friend of mine in Cardiff and had a great time! Llangollen promises to be a little quieter but still looks so interesting and beautiful. Thank goodness for the new camera, just in time for a great holiday. After shopping, we went back to Mat's and had dinner and then I was a tad boring and fell asleep. I don't know what came over me, I just suddenly felt ridiculously tired. It was for those reasons that I ended up posting my review of 'Lord Of The Flies' much later!

Tomorrow, I have the day off. I will be doing a lot of reading, plenty of blog bits and generally catching up with myself a bit.

Daily Shenanigans, 07/07/2014: I ache so much!

I've spent a fair bit of today having a well earned rest. After yesterday's antics, I woke up totally exhausted, with next to no voice and my muscles absolutely killing me. It was such a good day out but I'm really glad I got to relax today. So what did I do? Well a bit of London job hunting to start with, followed by playing The Sims 3 for a couple of hours and reading too. I didn't finish the book but I'm a lot closer now. I also posted a fun little challenge, just because I'd been planning to for a while. The questions were a lot of fun to answer!

Tomorrow I will post my next Top Ten Tuesday post, and continue with some reading before work. Yes that's right, back to reality!

Daily Shenanigans, 04/07/2014: I cannot keep my eyes open!

I'm writing this post a little earlier tonight than usual guys, I seriously am struggling to keep my eyes open. It is really hot today and I suspect this has something to do with this overly drowsy feeling. I woke this morning actually feeling pretty refreshed, finished 'Divergent', spent half an hour getting over how good it was then had a bath. I had work this afternoon and so I had to get ready for that too. Work itself wasn't too bad, it was a really quiet day though. That meant that the shift went ultra slowly. I did finally get home though and haven't done an awful lot this evening other than watch some videos and be hit by a sudden tidal wave of sleepiness. My next read will be Eli Horowitz's 'The Silent History' and I'm looking forward to it! 

Tomorrow I have work again (another reason for an early night) but I do have a post that needs posting. Being the first Saturday, I'll be taking part in the Six Degrees Of Separation challenge again! Hooray! I hope to find time to make good progress with my next read, and I'll be seeing Mat too. What a busy day!

Daily Shenanigans, 26/06/2014: A trip to Town!

Today was pretty productive in terms of blog stuff. I started the day off writing my 'Life Of A Blogger' post. Then later on in the day I finished and reviewed Neil Gaiman's 'The Graveyard Book' which was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Most of my day however has actually been spent with Mat, who came with me to the bank today as I need to upgrade my account. We did also get a McDonalds but I heavily regretted this afterwards as I'd been feeling strange that morning, and it made me feel so much worse. I felt so awful in fact that I missed out on a meal with work friends because my stomach felt awful. Mat went home earlier than usual and I rested and read for the rest of the evening. 

Tomorrow I'll be reading more of John Green's 'Paper Towns' as I've made a start. I also have to pick up a parcel from the sorting office so I hope I feel better.

Daily Shenanigans, 02/06/2014: Reading on the train again!

I'll make this post fairly short, my day hasn't been overly interesting. I had a bit of a lay-in this morning, but couldn't sleep for too long because I had work at 11. As I was without the car today (Mat needed it), I had to catch the train! I was actually quite happy about this though, because obviously reading on the train is a lot safer than reading while driving! Work went pretty quickly, I was mostly left to my own devices which was nice. When my shift finished, I journeyed home and then spent the rest of the evening posting my 'Liebster Blog Award' post. The questions were a lot of fun to answer, thanks again to both blogs that nominated me! I did also see Mat tonight, so that he could drop the car back to me. We were both pretty exhausted though so just relaxed for a few hours.

Tomorrow is another day off for me, though I need to be home because I have to drop my Mum off at some point during the day but we aren't sure when. I'll spend most of it doing some serious reading of 'The Luminaries' and aim to get pretty far into the book tomorrow. Tomorrow is also 'Top Ten Tuesday' day, hooray!

Daily Shenanigans, 26/05/2014: Bank Holiday Monday! And I'm working...

Well it was Bank Holiday Monday today so it should have been a nice relaxing day off. However, I had a shift at work in the afternoon so it actually ended up not being! I did a little reading this morning but didn't really have time to do an awful lot. Work itself was quite quiet with the occasional busy spurt to keep things interesting. I felt absolutely knackered afterwards. After work I made my way home to eat and then I went round Mat's for the evening. We were originally going to watch the new X-Men film at the cinema, but in the end we didn't have time. Instead we stayed in and watched Britain's Got Talent! Tomorrow I will get a lot done, because I have a day off! At last! I'll also hopefully get my Multimedia mark back and fingers crossed I've done well!

Daily Shenanigans, 25/05/2014: London ComicCon!


Wow! What a day! My first ever ComicCon and I had such a good time. It's all I've done all day basically so this post will be totally dedicated to what I picked up while I was there! A sort of ComicCon haul if you like! So the picture above shows my stash! Quite a variety, a Kimono (which I hope to get better pictures of), art, a Quill, a bowl, a book and jewelry! I did also order a Tee Shirt but can't picture it here, as obviously it hasn't actually arrived yet.


Ok so I'll start with my first purchase. If you read my earlier Wishlist that I posted, I mentioned Coucou Heart had a little stall. I had never heard of this small Jewelry business before but their pieces were adorable! I bought from them a small locket in the shape of a book because I think it is most fitting in all honesty! I am after all, a huge fan of books! I did see some other pieces, such as a Wishbone shaped necklace that made me think of Karou from Daughter Of Smoke & Bone, and a couple of Alice In Wonderland styled pendants. I left those behind however in favour of the locket! Check out their website, they have some beautiful pieces on there! sorry about the terrible pictures, as usual. I really do try!


Next on the list was probably very naughty of me, but I think it might be my favourite purchase. I went to ComicCon expecting Cosplay, Anime, Comics, Japanese madness, art, and plenty of merchandise. What I did not expect was books! And there were actually a few book stalls set up by publishers which I did have a nose at. I'm on a book buying ban as you know but I'm afraid I broke it today (it won't happen again readers I swear...). I met a very lovely chap by the name of Kit Cox (or Major Jack Union) who's written a really interesting looking book, 'How To Bag A Jabberwock'. It instantly grabbed my attention and he was very lovely, both of us agreeing that ComicCon would be so much fun if more literature was involved! He signed my book and in case you were wondering, he has another book on the way called 'The Monster Hunter: The Adventures Of Benjamin Gaul' which looks to be a promising Steampunk adventure that I'll certainly be looking out for! For now though, I can't wait to have a read of my new purchase (now Uni is over, I will have so much time on my hands) and hopefully post a review, so look out for that in the not-too-distant-future!



Now what's next? A bowl? Why not! Japanese culture has always fascinated me and in particular, their Tea ceremonies. I was transfixed by the Doki store, their crockery, ornaments and ceramics were gorgeous. And they had tea sets! In the end however, I went with a beautiful bowl (my current breakfast bowl has a massive crack down the side and I feel it's end draws ever closer) that has a cute little cat on it! I'm quite fond of cats! It's a bit big but will serve it's purpose, and was a really good price! A tea set next time perhaps, when I'm a little less overwhelmed and indecisive.

Next, I'll put the pictures of the Art Prints I nabbed from Comic Village. They were absolutely beautiful and I really couldn't say no! I've put the pictures below and I'll go through in order. The first two prints are drawn by a really talented lady who can be found at Lalas Dreambox. I fell in love with all of her prints but these were two of my favourites and I couldn't leave without them! The second picture was really fulfilling a personal love for a certain film/comic character! I'm a little Loki obsessed and most stalls had run out of merchandise associated with him (clearly I'm not the only Loki fan about)! But this print caught my eye, and the artist can be found here. All of her drawings were really cool, I wish I could have bought more! The third and final art was drawn by a lovely lady found at this link. Such a talented artist, I really struggled to choose between pieces but this one with the tiger really caught my eye! what a beautiful piece!



Whew! Almost done! I'll talk briefly on the other bits and bobs I bought. These included; a gorgeous green quill (I plan to get ink and learn to do calligraphy properly, I've always admired it!), a beautiful black Kimono that came with a traditional belt (I really need to get a decent picture), and a Tee Shirt mentioned earlier in my Weekly Wishlist (I ordered it so it has yet to arrive, but I'm very excited! It has a Studio Ghibli theme!)

Well that about sums up my day at the Expo! I hope everyone really enjoyed their Sundays and managed to have a nice lazy one, unlike me. I got up at quarter past six this morning and my feet are killing me after walking around for six hours! It was definitely worth it though.

Daily Shenanigans, 30/04/2014: Early start...

I'd like to start this post by saying if you're planning to get up at six in the morning, don't go to bed at gone midnight. Good. Now that's out of the way, I started off my morning okay, really tired but in pretty good spirits. I got to Canterbury early and helped a friend of mine with a few bits and bobs and then made my way back home to spend the day there. I had planned to return to go and see a friend of mine's performance but I started feeling a bit weird and ended up staying home (for which I feel terrible). I suppose at least I got to be a bit productive/catch up on some sleep. I finished reading 'Days Of Blood And Starlight' too, a book which I really enjoyed a lot! Next up are 'Hereafter' and then 'Thereafter' by Terri Bruce, as I plan to start working my way through these Netgalley reads now!

Speaking of Netgalley, I got my first Auto-Approval (which completely shocked me) from Hatchette Children's Books, so thank you so much to them! That brightened my day up quite a bit! They also approved my request for 'The Moment Collector' by Jodi Lynn Anderson. Looking forward to making a start on all of these! I also splashed out on a few more Kindle reads from Amazon:
  • 'The City Of Bones' ('The Mortal Instruments' Series, Book 1) by Cassandra Clare.
  • 'The Iron King' ('The Iron Fey' Series, Book 1) by Julie Kagawa.
  • 'Clarity' (The 'Clarity' Series, Book 1) by Loretta Lost.
I've been eyeing these up for a while and 'Clarity' is currently free on Amazon UK if you're interested! I won't be in Uni tomorrow I don't think, I'm going to spend the day being really productive. Plenty of posts are to be done tomorrow as well so I've got my work cut out!

Daily Shenanigans, 29/04/2014: I should be sleeping.

I am going to write a brief post tonight, I can hardly keep my eyes open. Work felt so exhausting today and I ache all over. Despite this, I had a good day! I spent this morning devising my Top Ten Tuesday post, I found this week's topic pretty hard though I somehow managed! I went into Uni this morning and saw another of my friend's performances. It was a really scary one, so it has put me on edge for the entire day and I keep thinking something is going to jump out on me! I did enjoy it though (does that sound strange?) I had to leave for work straight after and as I've mentioned, had an exhausting shift. so many customers! Still, it was nice to have a break from life and focus on some other jobs to do.

I'm quite excited this evening. I have been approved for 'Doll Bones' by Holly Black on Netgalley. I have loved reading Holly Black's books so much recently that when I saw it was a title, I had to at least try and get approved but I really didn't expect to! Eep! It looks like such a great read too, very creepy (I love scary stories) and I'm certainly looking forward to sharing my thoughts on this one! Talking of books, still making slow progress with Days Of Blood & Starlight (what can I say, I have very little time on my hands right now to read) but I'm really enjoying it. I have not read all the books that I said I would this month. I suppose I shouldn't have set such a high target, knowing I would be busy. May's reads are going to be Netgalley focused, I really don't want to attract negative feedback at all by being slow!

I have to be up so early tomorrow for Uni, so it's time to sleep. Hopefully I can stay awake long enough to be productive when I get there.

Daily Shenanigans, 27/04/2014: Headache from hell!

I'm going to be completely honest, my day wasn't wholly productive. I spent most of it with a pounding headache that would not leave me alone, despite the copious number of Painkillers I took. All I really wanted to do was curl up and sleep, so I didn't get round to doing my Weekly Wishlist until late afternoon! It prevented me from using the day to read as well, which upset me quite a lot. I really wanted to get through at least a good majority of 'Days Of Blood & Starlight', but I'm not very far through at all. Still, as evening came my headache mysteriously disappeared as quickly as it had come and I could relax and get on as I had previously planned. I read, blogged, caught up on Youtube videos, commented and generally got on with the tasks I would have loved to have spent the entire day doing. Ah well, at least I feel a bit less tired and ill now.

Tomorrow will be a long day at Uni for me, I have work to be getting on with followed by a show to watch (one of my friend's Multimedia performances). I'm very excited about it, and hopefully I can fit some more reading in around it. A short post today I know but there really isn't much to tell. Fingers crossed that headache doesn't creep back tomorrow!

Daily Shenanigans, 24/04/2014: So...I've been to the Year 3000...

I have no words for what I've just experienced, McBusted put on one heck of a show! I'll start with the rest of the day. I basically spent it doing as little, and being as lazy, as possible. I finished 'The Hunger Games' which was awesome and I'll be reviewing it tomorrow! I also did a lot of sleeping and watching Mat play 'Mass Effect 3', so nothing too strenuous! Then at about half four in the afternoon, we hopped on the tube and made our way to the O2 Arena. I've never been before and it is huge and very impressive! Before doors opened, we needed to go and get something to eat so we ate in a lovely Italian Restaurant found inside the O2 Arena Building. The food was gorgeous, particularly the Chocolate Melt pudding. Yum!

Then of course, it was time to see the show! There were three warm up acts before McBusted. All of them were good, E of E did a great cover of Billie Jean! Also, Vix played and the front girl had a phenomenal voice! Well worth checking out! Of course, it was clear who everyone was really waiting for. Their entrance was just awesome, and they went straight into 'Air Hostess' which of course everyone knew! For those of you who don't know, McBusted is a fusion of McFly and Busted, two of my favourite bands from when I was younger. I have grown up knowing all the words to their songs and so I leapt at the chance to get tickets to see them live together!

They played a great set and I recognised most of the songs, including some of the classics, 'What I Go To School For', 'Five Colours In Her Hair', 'Obviously', and of course 'Year 3000' which is the one I think everyone was waiting for! I really enjoyed myself, the tech and set were absolutely amazing and they did a lot of really cool things (including flying down on a UFO) to entertain and astonish. If in the future you ever get the chance to see them, don't hestitate, just book! Our seats were pretty good too which made me happy. Not overly close to the stage but we could see perfectly. Mat and I came away with T Shirts and Souvenir Brochures/Programmes. I've just got through the door and I'm sat with a cup of tea while typing this, absolutely knackered. Okay so tea may not be the best idea at this time of night but hey, you only live once!

Mat has a couple of Uni bits to do tomorrow, so I'll be reviewing 'The Hunger Games' and doing a bit more reading. Next up is Holly Black's book of short stories, 'The Poison Eaters' which I imagine I'll get through quickly.

Daily Shenanigans, 10/04/2014: My body clock is on strike!

Okay, it's official. My body clock is completely out of whack! I wasn't in bed until coming up to 2 o'clock this morning, so it's no wonder really. I was up only a few hours later, and have since spent the rest of the day falling in and out of sleep with frequent naps! I actually spent most of the day with Mat, having not seen him for a few days, and I feel pretty terrible that I slept so much to be honest. But it did make me feel better! Between my numerous sleepy moments, we played some games (particularly Pokémon) and I managed to get a bit more reading done! Oh! And before I saw Mat, I wrote my 'Life Of A Blogger' post. This week's topic was food, which naturally made me very hungry after I'd finished! I've had serious food cravings all day!

Other than that, I've generally just had a relaxing day with not an awful lot to tell! 'The Birds That Never Flew' by Margot McCuaig, a book that I won on Goodreads, arrived today. I'll have to find time to read it at some point soon! I don't have to be up for anything special tomorrow, so I'll be doing a lot more reading (and hopefully finishing my current book) and some blog post planning! I really want to get into the habit of scheduling more posts so that I don't have to worry too much about them! I'm writing this post a little earlier than usual because I really need to get to sleep a bit more than I have been recently.

Oh, also: I now have over 50 followers on Bloglovin', which to me, is nothing short of amazing! This fact makes me so happy, so thank you all for liking my blog and reading it!

Daily Shenanigans, 22/03/2014: Under the weather.

Well I had my first day off in what seems like forever today, and I spent most of it feeling a bit sorry for myself. I have a stinking cold! I knew it was coming yesterday, but a small part of me had hoped it was just really bad hay-fever. Alas, my suspicions were correct. Still, in terms of blog stuff, I managed to be pretty productive! I finished reading Eowyn Ivey's 'The Snow Child'! At long last! Honestly, it is one of the best books I have ever read (and that says a lot) and I posted the review of it earlier, so feel free to check that out!

I also made pretty good headway with 'Daughter Of Smoke & Bone'. Things are really starting to get interesting and I can't wait to get through this one too and post my thoughts! Most of my day was taken up with reading and reviewing, plus a little bit of sorting out my planned reads so that I don't fall far behind again, like I have this month. I have some exciting planned reads lined up, so I'm looking forward to those!

Mat came round mid afternoon and he looked after me a bit, which was nice. I have missed him an awful lot this week because of how much stress I've been under, so it's good that the weekend is finally here and I get to spend more time with him. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow, because I'm off up to London to stay at his in the evening! This is in preparation for going to see 'Les Misérables' at the Queen's Theatre on Monday! I am so damned excited about this show, I have longed to see it for a very long time. I think a day of rest is in order tomorrow beforehand.

Daily Shenanigans, 21/03/2014: Coursework submitted, Easter break begins!

Finally! My actual time off that I have been dreaming about all week has arrived. I cannot express how happy I am right now to see this moment. To not have to, at least for a little bit, worry too much about stressful shows I have to do things for or coursework that needs to be submitted! I managed to meet my coursework deadline today (just) and I'm pretty happy with what ended up being submitted so now it's just a waiting game!

After finishing my coursework, which actually took up most of my day, I went to pick Mat up from the station. We spent the evening at his, playing this new game called 2048 which he has me absolutely addicted to. Seriously look it up (unless you actually want to live your life, in which case avoid it at all costs)! We also played a bit of Pokemon (I bet you expected that) and Simpsons: Tapped Out which is another one that I thoroughly recommend if that's what floats your boat. Unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy my time at Mat's quite as much as I wanted to. Why? Because I am coming down with a cold. I'm hoping I'm just run down and it will be gone tomorrow, but I'll have to see on that front.

Speaking of tomorrow: if I'm up to it (i.e. not dying) we're going to see 'A Long Way Down' at the cinema! Hoorah! I have been looking forward to this film's release ever since I saw the trailer. I would also be really interested to read the book at some point. It looks really funny, in a dark kind of way and they are always good to watch in my eyes. I'll see if it lives up to expectations!

Thursday, 20 March 2014

Daily Shenanigans, 20/03/2014: Phew!

Oh my goodness, tonight went so well! I woke up at quarter to six this morning, so that I could drive in for eight. While driving, I listened to Jeff Wayne's 'War Of The Worlds' (a musical adaption for those that don't know, I adore it) and it calmed me down a bit. I have been worrying all week about this assignment and as it turns out, I had nothing to worry about after all. The lighting design for the show I'm being marked on was exactly how I imagined it would be, and I worked painstakingly throughout my 14 hour (yes, really) day to get i perfect. The show went really well and my Tutor seemed quite impressed so I'll have to wait and see!

I still have some work to do tomorrow on my Multimedia Portfolio, but then that's it for a little while! Thank goodness too because I  think the stress was sure to make me implode sooner or later. I am very tired this evening so  I'll make this post quite short again. If I get my coursework done well, I'll be able to be more productive blog-wise and have more to talk about tomorrow! Wish me luck!

Before I go, I'll just say: 35 followers on Bloglovin'? 18 on Google +? Wow! Thanks guys!

Wednesday, 19 March 2014

Daily Shenanigans, 19/03/2014: Let the end of this week come quickly!

Well readers, I failed. I wanted to completely finish my coursework today, so that after my stressful day tomorrow (14 hours at Uni supporting the shows with lights and sound, ugh!) I could just relax and settle into my frankly well deserved Easter break. But no. Instead, I am going to have to spend the rest of Friday finishing off this horrible portfolio! I have been so focused on trying to get this finished today that I haven't even had time to worry about tomorrow's looming deadline! I really hope it goes well, I'm being assessed on it, but I would hate to get anything wrong for the shows that I'm Tech support for!

I didn't do an awful lot else today. The only thing blog-wise I managed to do was write tomorrow's 'Life Of A Blogger' post (as I won't be able to do it then) and read a few Top Ten Tuesday's/reply to some comments. That's another thing I'm looking forward to. Being able to work on my blog a lot more. I'm still really tired, I actually fell asleep a bit this afternoon, and woke up cursing because that was a whole half hour of essay writing wasted. Deary me! I really can't wait for Uni to just be over!
