January Bucket List

Instead of making a long list of New Years resolutions that I will never stick to, I will be making aims each month that I would like to achieve in 2013.  I think this is a great idea.  I want to achieve a lot of things in 2013 so this is just the thing I need!

1. Become more organised.

With final essay deadlines and exams fast approaching I need to be very organised this year if I want to do well in my last year at university and survive without becoming a mad, crazy, stressed person.  I have already started my new organised life by purchasing a diary and have even started using it!

2. Fix my camera.

As I mentioned the other week, my good camera is broken.  As you can see above I am having to put up with crappy, poor quality photos and I cannot stand it.  I must get my camera fixed this month!

3. Learn a language.

In 2012 I started to learn Japanese.  I want to keep up with this and learn more.

4. Produce a brilliant CV and personal statement.

This is a step towards getting the perfect graduate job that I want.

5. Go on holiday out of the country.

The last time I went on holiday was my 21st birthday.  I am in desperate need of a holiday.  I cannot go away until all of my exams are over, so it will be after May, but I cannot wait for some relaxation and exploration in another country.

I'll check back with another 5 aims at the beginning of February to add on to the list!

Oh Hai There 2013!

Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I hope that you all enjoyed your New Years celebrations whatever you did.

Like I mentioned previously, 2012 was the crappiest of crappy years.  It sucked big time.  However I am feeling quite positive about 2013 and I am determined to make it a great year.  I don't usually make New Years resolutions, but I would like to make some aims this year as there are things that I would like to achieve.

1. Finish university.  Ideally I would like to get a first.  Not sure if this will happen, I know I can probably manage it if i really put my mind to it.  However I know that I just want to try my absolute best in all of my modules, then I will be proud of myself whatever grades I get.

2. Get a graduate job.  I am not expecting to get a job straight away after finishing university.  In fact, I would like a couple of months out.  But by October/November I would like to be starting a job as a Radiographer.

3. Go travelling.  I would like to at least visit one of the places on my list of places to visit.  In 2013 I would like to either visit Thailand, Japan, New Zealand or Australia.  If I can visit more than one of those places in 2013 then I will be more than happy.

4. Have a bloody awesome happy year!

Have you made any resolutions?

Twenty-Twelve

The year is almost up!  It's had its ups and downs.  In fact, if I'm honest, it's mostly been downs.  But in the last month things have turned around and become good again.  I am not here to remember the bad times though, so here I am with the good times of 2012.

So 2012 didn't start off too bad.

Then in April I saw Lostprophets in Wales and Birmingham (where I met a few of them).

I went to Download Festival in June.

I went to the Olympics.

I got pierced.

I started doing pole dancing.  I started boxercise classes.  Also in the last 2 months I have lost 1 stone (although have probably put it all back on in the last week).

Then there's my different hairstyles of 2012.

So there's my 2012.  I hope you all have a great 2013!!

New Clothes

So that's Christmas over for another year! Wow hasn't this year gone so fast! I had a quiet Christmas with my parents, brother and Grandad, but it was nice to spend time with my family. I was very spoilt and got lots of nice things!  Here are some of the clothes I got as well as a sexy new, iPad. Yes, it's so sexy.

I hope you all had a great Christmas!  What did you all get?

Merry Christmas!

So, I've just bought my Mother's Christmas present (yes, a little late I know) which is this, it looks lovely.  I have spent the day baking.  I am about to wrap all my presents, and then off to the pub.  Finally I am feeling a bit Christmassy!  So Happy Christmas to you all for tomorrow, I hope you have a great day whatever you are doing.


Here are my snowmen cakes that I made earlier, having never baked before today I think they are a masterpiece!

Yes, It's Been A While

Do I feel guilty that I haven't blogged for ages?  No, not really... As I have been out enjoying life!  OK so first I stopped because my good camera broke and a blog without pictures is quite boring. Then I got really busy with university work. Then I became busy with other stuff and started having an awesome time and making most of my last year at university.  Now I am here to blog about it again but with a slight change of direction for this blog.  My good camera is still broken, and I am still trying to fix it so you will have to put up with crappy pictures from my other camera for now.

So now onto my music favourites which I used to do every Friday!

1. Foals - Inhaler

Then of course we had to walk past Claridges as well:

As usual, if you have any favourite songs at the moment, then let me know!

Music Favourites

I have abandoned this blog lately.  I have been so busy working hard on placement, trying to do my university work, and trying to maintain my life around work I feel like I have barely had time to eat and sleep let alone blog!  Next week is my last week on placement for a while and I can't wait to have some time away from the hospital (where I work on placement) .  I have a big practical assessment coming up next week so I need to study hard for that and hopefully I will pass and all this stress and hard work will pay off.

Anyway, on to my music favorites of the week (which I normally do on a Friday but was too exhausted last night):

1. Sub Focus - Tidal Wave
Link to Youtube
LOVE Sub Focus, LOVE this track.  I would love to go and see Sub Focus again and hearing this song live would be immense.  

2. Two Door Cinema Club - Sun

Link to Youtube

3. Rihanna - Diamonds
Link to Youtube
Everyone must have heard this song and I think it is too over played but when I first heard this song on the radio I loved it straight away!  I still sing along every time I hear this song.

4. The Vaccines - Misbehaviour

5. AN21 & Max Vangeli Feat. Example - Whisper

Let's hope I will have time for more blogging soon!  If you have any music suggestions you think I may like or want me to listen to, then leave your suggestions in the comments!
