JUMP

Pier Jumping - this is the 'extreme sport' I took part in this weekend.

Why just swim when you can jump off a pier into the sea??? It's awesome...

umm...well..ok...okok, I didn't jump.

Not because I was afraid!!!

But because it was just so warm chilling out on the top, I felt it was unnecessary to jump.

Unnecessary I tell you!

Ahem, anyway, I took my camera along.

I think I preferred role as photographer on this occasion...

The males featured in these photos are Peter and his brother.

Oh, Peter is the boyfriend by the way, heeehee.

(I can't help but giggle... doesn't it make you sick?)

This week I shall be looking forward to:

ECLIPSE (I am re-reading the third Twilight book in preperation)
Tai food
End to the World Cup (watching the final as we speak, penalties I reckon)
Making thank you/fair well cards for teachers that I like...
It's a hard life.

Happy Blogging!

Hostess with the Mostess

Bonjour!

Last week (I told you there would be a lot of catching up to do) I held my first beach party of the summer.

Yes, I was the hostess with the mostess.

All you need is some music, rugs, fold out chairs, alcohol, good company.. et voila!!! You've got yourself a fab night ahead of you. And fab it was!! It was so nice to just take a damn CHILL PILL, watch the sunset and actually have a decent conversation with somebody.

Of course, things didn't exactly run as smoothly as my suave bullet point list made it out to be... I did get so stressed and worried beforehand that I reversed right into my boyfriends car (but lets not talk about that)...

Overall...... It WAS a fab night and I think everybody had a fun time. I, for one, ended up swigging Malibu from the bottle after misplacing my wine every two seconds (thus getting angry and impatient). This resulted in deep, meaningful and perhaps, well... not perhaps... just very inappropriate conversations with strangers who happened to rock up after sunset.

With all the drinking and socialising, I did manage (I can't think how or even when) to reflect on my LIFE as it were. It must have been as I sat there, drinking wine and taking a look around, that I realised how lucky I am to be situated in such a lovely place and surrounded by such lovely people.

It's sad how I don't even notice the sound of the waves lapping against the shore outside my bedroom window anymore and how I haven't, not even once, gone swimming in the sea yet this summer. I realised that life shouldn't be taken for granted, especially not the one that's been handed to you on a plate.

Note to self: stop being a dick and go swimming in the sea!!!!

Real note to self: Don't take the summer/your home/the ocean for granted.

I'll miss it when I'm at uni... in Scotland.. cold..... eughhhhh.

Happy Blogging people!

ALL HAIL Study Leave!

Bonjourno!

Study Leave - fundamentally the greatest thing ever invented by humanity!!!

Waking up at 10, lazing around in the sunshine, swimming in the sea, taking a dip in the pool, going solo with my notes... it's as though i've died in school and gone to study leave heaven! I love study leave! I pretty much love revising... only because it's fun to know and understand things, (don't you find?) it means I won't keel over with fear before entering that exam room.

But truth be told, I haven't been doing that much revision... I just need a break!! Okay, my exams are in 2 weeks, but this week I thought I'd take a chill pill, enjoy that happy vitamin D and get a bit of a tan going. Of course, I tell my family that 'I can work so much better in the sunshine'... but this is in fact FALSE.

1. The white page makes my eyes squint, water and inevitably close.. reading becomes difficult.
2. Suncream somehow manages to move from my nose and into my eyes.. reading becomes impossible.
3. My auntie makes me wear a hat :( I feel generally uncool.
4. She also makes me wear really uncool sun glasses (although these uncool items have vastly helped me with the reading..)
5. The wind is my enemy.

I think i'll try and work inside over the next couple of weeks... it's probably for the best.

Happy revising all!
