Long Time No See

I have just completed my first term at University. Which has had its (mainly) ups and its downs. I love Uni. I have made some of the best friends I have ever had. I love my course it is everything I wanted it to be. I love my flat, we all get along and are really good friends, we are kinda like a little family. Here is a picture of us out for a spontaneous night out last Saturday where we met a very strange stranger :s

Kalu, Brad, Me

We even had a christmas dinner! Which as none us are particularly good cooks, turned out pretty good if you ask me! although 5 of us got through 1pint of gravy with ease, which is worrying.

Here is me and Kalu out for his 21st Birthday. We had a very good night, me him and Brad and a couple of people from his course went out to celebrate early as his birthday is tomorrow. Considering i had been up for about 20 hours when this picture was taken, i don't look too bad!

My train journey home (when done in the light) is very pretty as it is all by the coast. Which makes for some pretty pictures! However due to the lack of day light at the moment the last few times I have gone home have been in complete darkness which is really really creepy!

If you cant tell despite the fact that I only came home three days ago, I already miss being there. Roll on January when I can go back and see all of my Uni friends again.

Update

I am going to try and turn this into more of a 'everything' blog. So I will be doing reviews on make-up/hair things, pictures I take, life updates. You name it, it will be on here! I think this way it will be the best way to get myself back into blogging as I have missed it. A Life update will be posted tomorrow!

University

So as I have been thinking about turning this into a lifestyle blog, I thought that I would start now.

Today is THE day in my education. It is A-Level results day. This is the day that you find out what path you go down in regards to education. After basically having no sleep and no food over the past couple of days because I have been too nervous to eat and sleep I logged onto UCAS. (which is the site that deals with the UK's uni stuff (its notorious for crashing today) ) I left my laptop on all night with the web pages loaded because I am too impatient to wait for it to load up (its dying and takes FOREVER to load when I don't have to wait for anything) but basically i found out that I will be attending university. It was not my firm choice (top choice for people who don't understand this system, it is very confusing!) It was my insurance choice (second) I am extremely happy. My A-Level results are okay. They could have gone better however I am just glad that they have not gone any worse then they are!

I keep having to re-write bits of this as its making no sense because im so tired I cant think!

However in September I will be starting university. I dont even know where I will be sleeping because I have had to apply for accommodation today. However once that is sorted I can go out and buy everything that I will need. I'm really excited. I felt the need to document this moment as it is an extremely important moment in my life.

An Apology

So I owe you an apology for not finishing the 30 day snap. I wanted to finish it and although i wasnt doing much in the day, I was enjoying taking a picture everyday to remind myself of what I did on that day. I was uploading from my phone each day. Lets just say it used 80% of internet allowance that is on my contract. Which i dont understand because I was connected to the wi-fi but hey. To go over would have been extremely expensive. Why didnt you upload via your computer each day? I hear you ask, well for the time that was impractical as I knew that I would be attending the Great Yorkshire Show and would not have access to my computer daily as I was due to be at my friends house for a few days and her laptop has died. So this is just an apology post. I will be attempting some form of 30 day snap again, I have had many ideas for something like it. But it will be after my results day because then i will know what I am doing for the rest of the year.

So I will be blogging again soon :)

30 Day Snap | Day 16 - Grand Parents

I'm so bad at this,  I yet again forgot last night however in my defence I did have a really busy day. 

So yesterday I had the car and went to go and see my gran at lunch and I bought pizza which I was too hungry to snap and had to eat it all but I did get chance to snap my pudding its a custard slice? I think I can't really remember but it was very nice :)

I am sorry that I forgot :s upps

30 Day Snap | Day 9: Healthy Foods

For anyone who knows me, I am not one for healthy foods. I am not a fruit lover. However Yesterday, I think more for lack of sleep then anything else, I wanted a smoothie and melon. So I walked to shop to buy some. Most dull story ever but i think everyone has those days.

What did you do Yesterday?

30 Day Snap | Day 8

So my day Yesterday had an early(ish) start. I got woken up by my neighbours at 8am which as I am not in any education at the moment is early for me. So as I have a free 30 day trial of LoveFilm and I downloaded the app on my iPad, I decided to watch a film that I hadn't seen in 13 years (that made me feel old :( ) The Emperors New Groove, which i cunningly renamed to 'Sassy Llama'

Also Yesterday was the offical hand in day end of school thingy ma-bob. So here is my pile of books which I had to return and hopefully will never have to see again.

Also Yesterday was my best friends 18th Birthday and we went on what was planned to be a pub crawl but only ended up in two pubs before closing time where she had to leave in a taxi before everyone else. However this is what I looked like.

At the first pub because everyone hadn't eaten and i had I decided to get pudding which I couldnt eat all of because It was really sickly, but nice none the less.

What did you get up to Yesterday? Also I am sorry for the big white space at the top, I dont know why it is there and it wont let me delete it :(

30 Day Snap | day 7 - birthday present

Yesterday I was preparing for my best friends birthday and I made her this

I think its nice, I made it and I'm actually proud of it something that I either don't admit to very often or aren't. This pretty much sums up the past year and a bit :) I've given it to her now so its okay to post it.

What did you get up to yesterday?  

Day 6

So yesterday, it rained a lot so I had to go to buy my best friends birthday present, my mum also bought some wool and is knitting me a snood :D

This is the pattern of it :)

This is almost one ball of wool knitted :)

What did you do yesterday? 

Day 5

So Yesterday me and my Dad went walking, As you can see from the picture below, the white T-shirt on the back of the chair says 'I climbed Snowdon' Which is the highest mountain in England and Wales. But I did a walk near to where I live. This is what I wore, which wasn't the best of ideas that I have ever had.

And here is why, wearing shorts walking is never a good idea, but in particular walking the wrong way round a oilseed rape filed, left my legs a little bit worse for wear. This picture hardly shows it at all. 

Then on the way back we stopped for Ice-Cream and I had cinder toffee from anchers Jersey Ice cream farm. Its really nice and if there is a shop near you then go and get some because it is really nice.

So what did you do Yesterday?

Day 4

So Yesterday I had a movie day. For no other reason that because I have been in a revision cave for the past 5 weeks, I can now waste days doing whatever I like to do.

Heres me in my Duvet this morning, with no make up on. Lovely. But that is the position that I have hardly moved from, I do think I look a little bit like E.T here though.

found some French fries crisps in my house as well, in cheese and onion I haven't had these crisps for years. So despite not being hungry, I ate them anyway.



As I got distracted by iplayer and YouTube I only got two films watched, both of which I would class as my favorites, Scott Pilgrim vs. the world and Easy A. Both very different films but very good films, It must be a good 10 months since I have seen either of these films, so It was nice to be able to watch them again!

What did you do Yesterday?

Day 3

So Yesterday I went into Town, which I was going to take a picture of however it does not reflect the romanticised image that most other country's hold over England and holds more of the actual reality that England is so I decided that I wouldn't ruin some peoples idea of England and chose not to take a picture of it.

Yes I am planning on mainly using my iPhone to take pictures of this with, because it is quick and convenient and because it is also my phone I have it with me at all times.

So for my tea I had a jacket potato but they for some reason aren't very nice at the moment, I think with our ridiculously wet summer that we had last year they had a very bad harvest  Basically i didn't eat my potato so an hour later I was staving (fun fact: I am pretty much always hungry) and I have half a bowl worth of krave cereal left :( so i had to have shreddies. Not the most exciting cereal you can buy but at least its filling!  Although it is in my favorite bowl which does sort of make it better. To make up for no Krave I also ate this with hot chocolate. Despite it being about 20 degrees outside.

What did you do yesterday?

Day 2

I have decided that I am going to be doing this the day after it happens in case it happens late at night like yesterday :) So yesterday I went to go and see my best friends boys friends gig with his college at Mink, which is a lounge that does coffee and alcohol downstairs then tattoos and piercings upstairs.

We were obviously down stairs and it was really good! Although it was so hot yesterday and muggy (we really need a thunder storm to sort the temperature out, and when looking at the weather forcast its going to rain as far ahead as it goes :( )

I had this cider when I was there and it was nice If your the right age for where ever you are from and are allowed to from your parents then you should try it. Then I went home. What did you do yesterday?

Day 1

This is the start of my 30 day photo challenge

As I'm blogging this off my phone, please bare with me if it is bad because I haven't done this before, however because I finished my exams and am actually leaving the house to go somewhere that isn't an exam tomorrow (wow, i know.) I thought I would paint my nails however I need to have a shower to take it off from the skin because i can't paint nails neatly to save my life! However I do like this colour, anyone interested it is maybelline New York color show, in berry fusion 354. With Rimmel London 60 seconds in 740 clear over the top as a top coat. 

The Thirty Day Snap

So I have decided that I am going to do the 30 Day Snap challenge? Tag? I don't know, The idea was started by SprinkleofGlitter and her blog is linked by clicking the picture below!

This involves taking a picture once a day, for thirty days and who knows maybe I will continue and carry this on for more than just thirty days i probably wont. Also forgive me if none of this makes sense I have just finished my A-Level exams today so I am shattered and have already wrote two essays today so the typos as I write this are quite spectacular! However starting today, I am going to do this because it seams fun and I will be bored now I have no college work or anything like that to do! Also now I am not at college I will have more time to blog so thats good.

Just an update!

Wow i have just realised how long it has been since I last posted on here. I cant believe it has been a month and a half, I thought that that last post was only a week ago. However I will soon be uploading more onto this blog, because in 8 days time (im not happy in the slightest :p) I am free from exams :) so therefore I shall post more onto here, so this was just a little update to fill you in because I hate leaving things for a long time without posting so despite the fact that this isnt the best post in the world, its better then nothing :) I shall see you guys soon

Ingleby Incline

On Easter Sunday me and my Dad went walking. Surprisingly it was actually still snowy up on the hills, despite it being very late March. Also despite it being sunny, it was bitterly cold up on the hills. However we still had a really good walk, because most of the drifts were at the sides of the path because walking in deep snow is fun for about a mile, before it becomes incredibly tiring and a short walk in deep snow can make you feel as if you've walked for an incredibly long walk after. although it is probably quiet good for you! 

We walked along the Cleveland Way until we came to Ingleby Incline which is where a train used to go up and down the hill to provide the workers with their tools! luckily it wasn't icy as we had first thought that it might be and in fact it was really fun as there was a lot of untouched snow, and everyone likes that. Although i did get wet feet as the snow went above the tongue on my boot where all of the water goes in, which was quiet cold!

Here you can see Roseberry Topping in the distance and Captain Cooks Monument just as it is blending out into the sky!

This is an example of how cold it was up there!

The sky was really pretty here it was really Pink but it didn't come out on camera very well, this picture does not do it justice but i still felt i should but it in because you can see it a little bit, right on the horizon

The view down the Incline, as you can see there is a lot of untouched snow!

The view up the incline, i don't think i fancy walking up it!

Instagram snaps

Instagram is a really good app. I imagine that most people have it, or know about it. However if you dont know about it then it is an app that is a photo-editing social network app. It is basically really good! I really like it. So i though that I would share some of my snaps with you!

On The Train In the Snow in late February

As mentioned in the Bio of my Instagram, I mainly take Pictures of food! These are literally the coolest cookies ever, I bought these (and took this) when I was in bed with the flu and I think they got me better!

This was taken in late January about midnight whilst me and my Friend were waiting for our taxi home for an hour! We were rather chilly

As I say with a lot of my pictures - I really really love this picture. This was a 'its got bad lighting but im gonna try it anyway' kind of picture and it has come out really nice! Also this is in Richmond North Yorkshire off the bridge near the station and the Abbey.

This is some snow that we had in March, whilest I was at my Grans, luckily as I had the car and (after less then a month of passing my test) would have to drive to College in the Morning so I was happy that snow had melted!

This is the River Tees. Taken literally 5 minutes walk out of Barnard Castle - which is very pretty and if you get the chance to you should visit it!

After thinking, and actually writing this, I've realised how many pictures I actually take on Instagram, I am thinking about doing another one of these soonish. As I just really like it! I think I already have enough pictures to make an other next time I plug my phone into my Laptop!

If you would like to follow my instagram then you can click here! 

Although there is a lot of pictures of food on my Instagram, sorry!

Day Out In London

For those of you that have read my Blog before, you will know that I like Harry Potter, I also like Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who the list could go on and on! Much like when I went to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour in London When I visited the Sherlock Holmes museum in London I took lots of pictures. However The Sherlock Holmes museum is much smaller, so to not give away spoilers for those of you who would like to go, I will post only a few pictures of it.

 Taken with Instagram, the guard outside 221B

They had oil lamps that were actually used in this very house because it was a house before it was a Museum!

So that was my Attempt at not Ruining it for you in case you want to go and see it for yourself because personally I really don't like spoilers. But if you would like to see more pictures from inside comment saying you would and I will happily do a post on it! However 221B was not the only place I visited when I went to London.

Also in London I went to Tower Bridge and walked along the river to Westminster. I did this last time I went to London and It didn't seem as long of a walk this time to last time. We stopped at EAT for a drink half way there. It was very busy though, it was a Sunday in February half term so I didn't expect it to be that busy. But it was all happening on South Bank that day!

 The Shard, The tallest Building in Europe (I think)

 This is where the Mayor of London Boris Johnson works

The Gherkin and possibly part of cannery wharf and the Tower of London

Tower Bridge, the bridge opens in the middle to let large ships through

 Well to be honest this picture doesn't really need a caption, this is a man performing in the river Thames.

I love this, the tide was out and people were doing all sorts of things on the small beeches that were appearing. this one had sand sculptures on but they had made this and started the next one when we got there!

Here is the view of the Bridge outside of Westminster, I couldn't get a picture going the other way because the lighting was all wrong and there was a huge busy road that we would have had to cross

Taken with Instagram. This shows how busy South Bank was! This was actually taken outside Jubilee toilets which are very fancy and have their own facebook page!

So that was my day out in London! I am very sorry it has taken so long for me to make this blog post but I am winding up to my final exams for my A-Levels so I am extremely busy at the moment. So please bear with me until my exams are over then their will be more frequent posts. Thank You!
