A Life, In a Blog...

It’s not you it’s me. Well that’s a line I’ve heard since my last blog post. Need I say more? 

So, update:

1. Visit to Thailand in Jan-Feb to see my dad and his wife. 

2. Joined the gym

3.New job (:D)

4. Taken to hospital. 

Pretty normal, no?

So that’s been my last couple of months which has had it’s up and downs but everything is starting to pick up again slowly but surely. 

My little trip to hospital last week was somewhat out of the blue. My body decided to have a slight mental break down and had a fit. So the past week/up coming weeks is test after test at the hospital to try and figure out what went wrong with me/my brain. In the mean time, however, I’m not allowed to drive so I’m back to feeling like I’m 16 again being driven around by my mother which sucks ass. But everyone has been really concerned about me which really nice to see (I didn’t think people cared that much about me!) I’m still feeling a bit off-ish, that’s as close as I can get to describe how I’m feeling. Description isn’t my highpoint I’m afraid. My back is still in a lot of pain from having the little spaz out moment which also sucks ass. Every now and again I feel a bit not with it and my concentration span (little I had of it anyway) has gone out the window. I think I need to do some more reading/brain training stuff, to get my brain more active!

So if there is anything out there people can suggest to get my brain more active then please let me know! 

I’m currently making a little brochure for a family friends dental practice she works at, so that’s keeping my evenings slightly busy and gives me something else to put on my CV. 

So slowly but surely everything is starting to pick up. 

That’s all for now, i’m off to bed now. Off to work I go in the morning! :D

Slaters!

Well seeing as the end of 2011 didn’t really go to plan work wise and left me feeling pretty low, 2012 WILL get off to a better start, even thought i’m feeling a little sniffly at this current moment in time *insert sympathy here*

I’m planning on going to visit my dad in Bangkok for a couple of weeks to have a break from the crappy UK later this month which shall hopefully leave me back in the UK rejuvenated and determined to get a better job. 

There’s a job or 2 I have my eye on and would give anything to have the opportunity to work there (that and it’s down the road so I could literally just roll out of bed and turn up to work!) so fingers crossed peeps. I’m assuming karma is coming my way at some point soon. Karma if you’re listening, hook a brother up please!

New Year was pretty cool if not a little dramatic with a chinese lantern that went slightly wrong! Just a chilled out NYE was just what I wanted and needed. 

I’m also planning on doing the standard “getting buff” and having a healthier lifestyle, you know, with the whole fruit and veg thing. I know, scary isn’t it.

Anyways, i’m off as I’ve just found out the shocking news my own mother has not seen the film UP. Never fear, i’m sorting it out as we speak!

I’ve passed uni! Hozah!

Annoyingly though I was just over 3 marks under a 2:1. But not to worry, who actually looks at the grades you get anyways :P

Which brings me to my next point, I am still unemployed, and even though you may laugh I actually have a couple of shifts (definitely almost wrote shits) at the chippy. So one might say that I have come straight from uni to work in a chip shop. Now how’s that for irony?! 

However, saying that I am currently re-designing the chippy’s menu boards and restaurant menus, so when they’re up and running I shall take some pics :)

Well thats all for now :)

Luvs ya

I know, I know, its been a while, but in my defence it has been a pretty busy few months.

I’ve written my dissertation, i’ve finished and handed in my major project and now all is left between me and freedom is this sodding essay I can’t seem to get any motivation to do. There’s only about 2000 words left to do, but I hadn’t recieved any feedback from my first 2000 word draft of it due to my marker leaving. So i’m going go in tomorrow and ask if I have any feedback to read. I realise how close i’m leaving this to the deadline (it’s wednesday) but it’ll be fiiine. 

Next all I have to figure out is what I want to do with my life. I was hoping at this stage in my life I would know exactly what I want to go into as a profession, but I havn’t. Well I kind of have, I did some restoration on some photos for my Grandad’s 85th birthday and well, I really enjoyed it so I might try and go into something along those lines.

I’ll do a post in a mo with all the photos displaying what i’ve been up to…it’s ever so exciting (honest)

We have our (technically) last uni summer ball in a couple of months and I need to get started on my outfit, I going as Boo from Monsters Inc…exciting no? But lets face it, i’ll be going for a few more years to come, provided I can get my hands on a student to get me a ticket! 

Right thats all for now, i’m off to procastinate some more from doing this essay…what can I clean?!

Well, after posting my last post, everything kinda went a bit “tits up”.

The day after infact, I got a Facebook message to say I have until the end of the month to find somewhere new to live and move out of my current flat in Bournemouth. Fun no?

Well cut a long story short, it’s all kind of worked out for the best. I’ve moved into a friends house, finally got all the estate agent stuff sorted, and all my bits and bobs crammed into my room :) 

On another slightly more productive note. After a few weeks of feeling a bit shit about having to move out (and a few other things, which we won’t go in to!) I’ve got my arse into gear with my dissertation and major project (sort of). 

I’ve written about 4000 words of my diss and have done more references that i’ve ever done before and in the past few days i’ve sorted out the few problems I had with my major project and i’ve been adding a few new bits to it, so its starting to take shape.

But it has hit me (rather hard) how much work I’ve gotta do now and how many things on my to-do lists i’ve still got to do, not to mention the new things I keep having to add!

But if I have fun with it and enjoy it, I’ll get it done and (hopefully) it will be semi-good!

I’ve also just gone through all my past essays and to be honest, i’m surprised they’ve got me into the 3rd year! But some of my previous essays have come in handy for writing this sodding PA (which is due in less than a week…!). So thats todays plan…PA, PA, PA, oh and hair curlers :P

I’ve just come up with my new years resolution. 

Gone are the; “to lose some weight”, “stop eating chocolate” and welcome “get out more” “give more of a shit about things” “get involved”.

After reading this article on my favourite geeky website Smashing Magazine; http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/12/22/the-designer-s-cross-training-toolkit/.

It got me thinking. I don’t do any of this stuff. I don’t get out just to take some pictures, or I don’t go out with a sketch book and draw (I do quite like drawing, however bad I am at it). I used to do all this stuff as a kid. I used to go out in the back garden (I wasn’t allowed out much as a child, so the garden was all I had really!) and draw flowers, or try to copy an image and draw it myself freehand. I remember drawing the little mermaid and remembering how shocked my family where at how good it was! I might try and go find it and scan it in to show you, as I do remember feeling rather proud of myself!

But, I don’t do any of that any more. I’ve got myself in a bit of a rut recently and it’s time to sort it out!

I want to take part in more stuff and not just sit at home procrastinating from doing work by sitting there on Facebook and Twitter and watching TV.

I know people say they’re going to stick to their new years resolution, but I give anyone permission to give me a good slap if I appear to be steering away from what’s good for me!

I’ll let you know how I get on!
