Spin My Head Right Round When You Go Down

Classy?

Ahoy. A bit later than anticipated but…“Now guess who’s back with a brand new track they got everybody in the club goin’ madddd….”

Life’s been up and down lately, I’m slowly learning than I’m a lot of things that I thought I wasn’t, some good and some bad. In the past fortnight I’ve had one of the worst weeks ever, and it all got let out in the tears… I had about eight different negative events hits me within the space of five days and it was one of those “I feel so low, what’s it gonna take to bring me back up?” Well the answer is always me, and a group of friends who I wouldn’t give up for the world. Oh and I also had a few moments of “WHAT THE FUDGE!?” but I just sit back and laugh at everything now… I’m still not one-hundred percent there but I’m getting better every day. And the amount of “EXPLAIN YOUR TWEETS” texts/IMs I’ve been getting…I really need to stop being so honest, haha.

Recent events have been scarce, two weeks ago it was Georgie’s seventeenth where we went out to a lovely Italian restaurant and I bought her metallic green Skullcandy Lowriders. I remembered she liked my lime green ones, but when hers came they were ONE MILLION TIMES NICER THAN MINE and I was nearly crying with envy. I visited Cambridge University a few days after for the Politics, Psychology and Sociology talks, which blew my mind…I don’t think I could ever set the bar that high for getting in but WOW. And I saw two of my college friends who were there on a summer school, I literally RAN down the street and began dancing like an utter idiot. They screamed in shock.

Oh and the picture above is keeping to my old tradition of alcohol-related posted, whereby I was slightly too intoxicated at my friend’s eighteenth birthday shenanigans. I ended up with so many bruises. And I think the drink count was…two glasses of wine, a double Red Bull and vodka and a pint of pear cider. I really need to man up my liver.

Oh, and college ends at 2.30pm TOMORROW. I’m so excited! I start working full-time on Thursday though, I’m so broke! And I’m due to leave for college in…twenty minutes. But I found my Urban Decay black eyeliner after six months so I’m going to spend far too long in the mirror…adios!

The Bedside Drama, A Petite Tragedy

woooBeeeeeeer (and cider)

Hangovers. The better the night the worse they get. Listen up kids, the only way to prevent a hangover is to drink a lot of juice/water before you collapse. Caffeine and painkillers in the morning will help that “revenge of the vodka” feeling, but you’ll still feel irritable, achy and regretting text messages you made the night before. On the plus side, that mix of Mountain Dew, Coconut Rum and Apple Vodka tasted lovely. Or maybe that was because you managed to paralyse your taste buds with a concoction so vile. And in that dazed phase, you remember recieving a phone call from a past hook-up* with a bottle of vodka in hand, hoping you hadn’t said something dangerously innappropriate. Oh wait, you did. Well, that’s his fault for calling you just when you had forgotten about him, like he had some sort of “Everything’s okay in ____’s life, better call her!” radar…

Anyway, party’s over. First exam is in, three weeks? Oh my shit. The only one I’m confident in getting a much-needed A grade in is Economics. Everything else, Ds across the board! (Probably). So naturally, I’m taking a break from blogging. Twitter’s kinda taken over. It’s disappointing, I like to blog but it’s hard to really take time out when I have deadlines whooshing by. I’ll be back in mid-June when my exams are over. I’ll come back with a bang, I promise ;)

Skip School, Start Fights

Well my week off school is now over, spent earning some dough in my lovely job, drinking cocktails in the town centre and finishing off with an ace party at my best friend’s pad.

Now I’m back at college realising exams are three months away. That’s something like ninety days. And twenty-odd lessons of each subject left. Time really does fly. I’m trying to balance it all with a little research into universities. I’m dead set on going on LSE (London School of Economics and Political Science) to study International Relations. I’m so drawn to it as ut’s one of the most international universities in the world (on average only 25% of the students are UK students) and being well-travelled and mixed-race, I know I’d love to be there.

But oh yeah the 2007 statistics for the course were 1,400 applications which were narrowed down 46 students. My jaw literally dropped straight to the floor. I don’t know how many offers they made, but those are God awful chances. So I probably should be hard studying instead of doing this blog post, but what fun would that be?

I downloaded the recent release of Schoolhouse which is a course assignment/homework manager for Mac. It has a nice clean interface, easy-to-use and it’s sure to help me keep on top of my piles of homework for my AS Levels. Downside is it’s pretty buggy, but definitely an improvement from 2.1 when it didn’t actually work on Leopard OSX! My feature request would be to have some kind of periodical caffeine/nicotine injection to keep the slacking student motivated.
