Happy New Year!!
this year has gone so fast and I’m sure the upcoming year will too.
As usual I’ve made some resolutions, some people say they’re pointless but I like doing them.
This year, and decade will be different because i’m fed up of things being the same. We’ll see if I stick to my resolutions but I hope I do
December was probably the most hectic month I had last year, I was rushing about non stop. I had a lot of assignments due and I had to help around the house when I did finally get back home and apply for placements so my head was spinning. I did manage to get everything done, I haven’t received back my marks but I hope they’re decent.
I had a nice Christmas, it went so fast though, and I got some nice things from my family. I got some perfume some DVD’s (enough LOST to keep me going for a while) and I also got a satnav off my parents which was a complete surprise. I hope you all got some nice things too and had a nice Christmas
I also went to my work do which was down in Reading, I had a really good time but the journey back was horrendous. We’ve had a lot of snow this time and the council’s haven’t done a lot about it so everything’s been in chaos. The trip from Reading to Manchester would probably take about 3 hours but it ended up taking us 6 hours and we had to go on the motorway at 30 miles an hour because it was snowy and icy.
I also applied for a placement at IBM for next year, which I’m hoping I’ll get. I did get word from them a couple of days ago saying I had passed the first stage and I’m on to the second stage.
I’d like to say I know when this site will be updated, but sadly I do not. I don’t even know if I shall renew it when it comes up for renewal because it’s such a waste, but this isn’t for another few months so I may change my mind. For now you can find me on facebook and twitter. But I will let you all know if and when I do update. I’m hoping my resolution for better time management will enable me to update, fingers crossed ey

Hey guys
exactly a month since i blogged, oops! but November has been manic!
Basically I had my wisdom tooth out which was the most traumatic experience of my life, and then it got infected so I had to go back to hospital to get it fixed and get antibiotics. Also with the end of semester coming up I’ve been snowed under (literally) with assignments. I’ve had 6 assignments to do so I have been so busy, not to mention working which takes up the rest of my time. There’s been a bit of drama with one of my assignments which is due in next week but i’m getting on top of it and I’m getting there now, which is a huge relief, i’ve been under a lot of stress with it all.
The new Harry Potter came out a couple of weeks ago as you all know, I haven’t seen it yet, i’ve been watching the others in order before I watch the final one, so don’t tell me anything
It’s been snowing this last couple of days, hence the snowed under joke, but it’s not really been snowing as much as other places in the country. I love snow and it’s a great way to bring in December.
Finally i’ve been invited to my work’s christmas do which I’m excited about as I’ve never been to a work xmas party before. i’m going on the 17th so I need to get things sorted before then and I still have 2 assignments to hand in before then and pack up my stuff to go home for Christmas.
I’m well aware this site hasn’t been touched for a while, it won’t always be this way, I will come back and before christmas. I’m planning on a fair few updates including a new layout for the site and some wordpress templates for download (about 5!!) and I will keep my promise, it’s my christmas present to you! so please come back and visit for that

Hey, firstly, HAPPY HALLOWEEN GUYS!!!
Everything has been crazy busy since I started uni. I’ve been working and when I havent been working I’ve been studying but it’s definitely starting to pay off.
I’ve been working quite a bit I’ve not got a lot of money at the moment so I’ve been working. Hopefully I’ll be better off come January but things are hard for the moment, I can’t buy any clothes, it all goes on petrol and food.
I’ve also been studying really hard at uni. I’ve got a couple of assignments coming up in the next couple of weeks which I want to do well in. In fact I should really be writing one of my assignments right now which I’m going to get on once I’ve returned comments.
I don’t know if you remember about how I had a wisdom tooth that’s impacted and I was waiting for a hospital appointment to get it taken out. I got my appointment scheduled for the 10th november which is only 10 days away eeek! I’m a bit anxious about it but it’s for the best that it gets taken out so that I don’t keep getting infections in it.
I went to a Halloween flat party on Thursday night which was great. I got to meet some people in our building finally and make some new friends which was great and I had fun, got a little drunk but I wasn’t emotional this time haha! . There were also some cute boys there that night which was an added bonus.
I also went to the cinema last night to watch easy A, which I thought was pretty good. I doubt I’m going out tonight for Halloween I have no money and I have a full day at uni tomorrow (9-6pm) which I really don’t wanna go through hungover/tired. I’m thinking I might just order a chinese and watch some scary films I’ve brought from home and also have a Harry Potter marathon as I have not seen all the films and the Deathly Hallows is out soon. I think I’ve seen 1 2 and 5, which is terrible haha!!
As far as the future of this site goes, I’m not entirely sure. I doubt there’ll be any updates until Christmas, I simply don’t have the time anymore, but I’ll probably blog, just not as often
Have you got any plans for Halloween?

On Thursday my other friend took me home because I had a meltdown.
I ended up getting really upset because I was jealous and I had been drinking.
Also this week I sprained my calf. I was working out on Thursday and I went for a run on the treadmill. I was really pleased I’d managed to increase my time by 4 minutes. After that I went for a swim to get some more cardio work in and push for this weight loss and resculpting of my body. I’d swam about 22 lengths when suddenly I felt a huge searing pain in my leg, like it had locked up. I swam to the end of the pool and held on while I tried to massage my leg as I thought I’d got a bad case of cramp. I swam to the ladder to sit on it so I could focus on my leg. After a few mins the lifeguard asked me if I was okay, and I replied that I had cramp. He asked me if I wanted him to stretch it out so I said yes and he stretched it out for a few minutes. The pain did subside but my muscle was so tight afterwards.
However my calf is so tender to the touch and I can’t put any weight on it, leading to the conclusion it is something more than mere cramp.
I have to rest it now for a while and I can’t run on it for the next few weeks so I’m planning to do some light swimming to keep myself fit and so I don’t put on weight. i’m making a big push to lose 5lbs for xmas.
I also went to do my laundry and the money got stuck in the machine, and on the way back to the flat I got stuck in the lift.
All in all not a good week!
I’ve been writing as a form of therapy at the moment mainly based on real incidents, although there probably will be some fiction intertwined with it. I will post it on http://rainbowcrush.org once it becomes fluid and not a series of incidents.
I’m also trying to study hard this year at university. This year is important and counts toward my degree so I want to do well.
ps, my flatmates are really nice so it’s all gravy

I guess I’ve been a little absent this week but if you’ve been following me on twitter, you’d know I’ve been so busy.
Firstly I started my classes this week which have been okay, they’re not the most interesting but they’ve been okay. I’m glad to be back at uni. This year counts towards my degree and I really want to do well this year because of this, so I’m going to have to put extra time in.
Secondly I’ve been working every spare minute I’ve not been in uni, there’s been a lot of overtime and I’ve been doing it, I have to because I have to pay my mum for my laptop (£200) then I owe my dad £674 for my insurance and £275 for my credit card and somehow I have to find all that money so I’m taking all the hours I can get.
Finally I’ve joined a club, it’s the university swim team, I thought it’d be a great way to get fit and I thought I could meet some new friends as well
My flatmates are nice and really respectful it’s such a change from last year I can put my stuff in the kitchen without fear of it getting broken or stolen, the only thing is they’re really boring. They make food then stay in their rooms and don’t really socialise at all, we haven’t been out at all i’m going stir crazy here. Also 2 of the people who are meant to live here haven’t even moved in yet so it’s so quiet.
I doubt there will be any updates, i’m too busy, I’ve actually had to make an hour by hour schedule so I can fit in domestic chores like laundry and food shopping. I’ve no time to even fit the gym in except weekends, which is another reason i took up swimming, I have to exercise and I have no time.
Lastly I’ve been sick this week, my kidney infection came back, thankfully not quite as bad but I got back pain again so I had to visit the doctor and she gave me another course of antibiotics which I’m a couple of days into and I already feel much better.
