I have been decorating for the past two weeks, so have been a bit busy. I painted the spare room for about a week and then spent another few days sorting out my room so I could paint it. As part of my mum's deal I guess was if I painted the spare room she would buy the paint for my room. And I have just finished painting the second coat of 2 and 2/3 of my walls :) I have to do it in stages as I have too much stuff to move about. The last time I painted it was when I was 11, so after 10 years I got a bit bored of magnolia! So yeah blue, it is :)

My arms are killing me LOL!

Also painting is so tiring, I never realised or forgot how exhausted you are by the end of the day.

So apologies for lack of notes.

How is it September already?!!

BUT that means I'm going back to Aber in just over two weeks *dances*

mood: sore

Sleepy...so this entry might be a bit mumbly, with bad spelling as I really can't be bothered to check. 

Anyway. Em and I went to Machenllyth yesterday, which is a little town from Aber and a bit smaller. It was quite sweet and it had some nice shops but it seemed to close down at about 4! And the train was at 4.45 so we ran out of things to do, then the train was late. But it was quite fun :) Didn't spend too much money, all good.

Had the nicest food today as well, as Em and I decided that it was the last day we were both here and had nice/big lunch. Spinach and Ricotta calzone, which was huge! I didn't manage to finish. Then some tiramisu between us and cocktail each. I was so full by the time we left!

We also went and saw Pirates 3, I did enjoy it but it was so long! Nearly three hours, so I did get a little bored in places and kiera knightly was slightly annoying but it was still fun too watch :)

The Sims is just too addicting really!

I have so enjoyed these extra few weeks here, its been nice not to worry too much and just chill. Its only the last week I have got a bit restless, not really bored just a bit fidgety. So it will be nice to go home and do something new/different people but I am going to miss this place. I have an interview next week for volunteering in my local oxfam shop, which will be something to do although I think I might be the youngest member of staff (if I get it that is!) by about 50 years.

OK my brain has just turned off completely, this is why I shouldn't play computer games, no wait my brain is always like this! Also my entries seem to be really crap lately apologies!

I am going to bed now me thinks!

mood: okay

   I.hate.footnoting.essays. its. a.bitch.

*pokes self in the eye*

I have 64 to put in my essay, ugh. All be over tomorrow though. Brain in Spain. So this entry might not make a whole lot of sense!

*pokes self in the eye again*

Anyway, it was election day today in wee Wales, well and in Scotland and parts of England. But this is only the second time I have voted in my life (awee)  and the first time in Wales! I am now reigistered to vote in Wales. As a scary Welsh lady came along at the begining of the year, and wouldn't shut up until I some how added all our names to be registered here! And my name is spelt the Welsh way on the polling card.hmph. Anyway. I voted in the elections for the Welsh Assembly today. Even though I'm not actually Welsh but there we go! Also I have to say it slighlty bugs me when people don't vote, everyone has the democratic right too so why should you not? And especially women, the suffragettes didn't go through hell, for us to sit out arse's on election day.

Anyhow. I sort of don't hugely understand the seating system in the Assembly,well I think I do, its just a bit strange! As there about 40 or 60 (can't remember) local members and then there is a regional which is about 5 people. I voted Lib Dem for the local one, as he works closely with Ceredigion's MP Mark Williams who is really good with Amnesty - he actually replies to letters we send him, which unheard of really.

There was only 4 on the local ballot. Lib Dem, Labour, Conservative (who's name was Trefor *giggle*) UKIP and of course Plaid Cymru! No wait thats 5. See there is a reason why I shouldn't count. Then about 10 ish for the regional one, including the British Communist Party, several Christain ones and the BNP - I loathe the BNP. I voted for the Green Party for that one, as I either vote for the person - Lib Dem man for the local one - or the party. And I like the green party, although I have to say I'm a bit of a Lib Dem girl as well.

Anyway, it was scary actually voting as the booths weren't exactly secret. There were only four wooden ones, no curtains or anything, with all the local election staff on a table practically right behind it. So no so secret really. Also it was the only time I have felt uncomfortable as an English person in Wales. As all the election staff just spoke Welsh and it was quite obvious that Emma and I didn't speak it, as we were saying please and thank you in English. Yes I know its Wales, but I'm a British citizen and have the right to vote anywhere in Britain, thankyouverymuch. Not just England or Wales, but everywhere in Britain.

Anyway.

My lectures were cancelled again, this week, well they have now finished. I think the lecturer must be really ill though, as they wouldn't tell us what was wrong, due to his family or something. But basically all they are doing, will be reviewing all the marks and then looking into or something. So not a lot really. They gave a list of people who could help next week during revison week but thats it. Looking at the past exam paper - only one of them - half the stuff on there we haven't been taught. yay. I am just one of the unlucky ones as both my option modules this term has the same lecturer.

I finish in under two weeks time now though. Good but more scary. Although I think I am going to go home again for a couple of days, just to see the kittens! Sad I know but hey I'm a crazy cat lady. I have never seen little kittens though, so its a bit of a novelty. Although my whole family is crazy cat people, as apparently all week they have been visiting inlcuding my gran who has turned up almost daily lol! I have more pictures too :)

I should really foot note. ugh

mood: sleepy

 We've got kittens!!!! :D

Three little furballs aged about 6 weeks. Yes three! My mum and dad just picked them up today from somewhere in the New Forest. *squeals* Although I won't be able to see them for about another couple of months. But my mum is going to send me pictures. *grins* My mum said they weren't even sure what the sexes are yet!

Oh the cats they looked at last week, which was a possibilty didn't happen. As my mum and dad weren't too impressed with them and my mum just saw the tortieshell one as Tess.

Anyways I haven't been up too much, though I have too say. My lectures have been cancelled all week. Annoyingly they haven't given us much information about it though, just saying his lectures are cancelled because he is ill and sometimes only about 30 mins before it was meant to start - helpful. But there is going to be a meeting about it tomorrow at the time, when we normally would have lecture with him. So I'm thinking no more lectures this week either! If thats the case I won't have any more till September!

Had work to do though. 5,000 word essay, which I have written now just need to type up so not too bad. But apart from that much sunbathing has occurred! Its so warm and lovely out! Emma brought back a mini garden table/bench so we can eat outside and work. Then I bought two deck chairs, that recline and you can rock in them as well. Soooo nice. Although I am rather freckley right now.

laters my lovelies

mood: hungry

*might* be over :D

My Mum and I looked last week for some kittens but no real luck. We called about 10 local rescue centres and no where has any kittens. They all said we would have to wait about month to get any and two of them put us on a waiting list. We have also be looking on the internet and my mum has asked loads of her friends to keep an eye out for two kittens.

However we were again looking on the internet last night and have fallen in love with two 8 year old cats! After saying we wanted kittens and wouldn't really want an old cat, these two just meowed out to us! My mum called and she and dad are going next tuesday to look at them. Annoyingly though I won't be there, as they are taking me back up to Aber on Saturday. So if they do become our new owners (you don't own cats, they own you!) I won't get too see them until June.

But yay! Although we are all trying not to get too excited, as the cats might not like us and vice versa. But there are two other cats (the two we want our being looked after by a cat foster mum) who are being cared for by the same person, and they look very cute. I'm on a campaign though to get all 4! hehe My dad isn't too impressed with that idea though.

I might try and see if I can copy the pictures of them across.

Anyway. I'm going to London tomorrow with Miss. Emma. Hopefully we will actually get into the Tower of London this time!. Neither of us has any money (5 days until next loan installment comes in though! woot!) so we are being tourists for the day. Both of us only live about an hour away from London, yet have hardly visited any of the sites, so we are trying to slowly see them all. We went to the tower at Christmas but got there 30 minutes to late. oops.

I have done some work, so feel better about that now :) Not enough but some is better than nothing right?

Ugh I have a headache that isn't going. grr. My OD+ runs out in less than a month, I'm thinking about getting a lifetime one this time. But its a lot of money a $100 isn't it? hmm.

Right I am going to go and attempt to cook my first stir-fry.

xxxxx

mood: tired

I am so tired and all I have done today is just walk up the hill, to get some books out from the Library. Pathetic. I am drinking a cup of tea at 11pm. Not good. It might be though that there is only 3 weeks (well after this one anyway) left of term!

But at least I have a week off now and the weekend I had a couple of chill out days.  I should really be doing work but hey I'm procrastinating, so I'm on here! I have an essay due in next Tuesday then 2 in three weeks. Then I have to start researching next week for my 5,000 word project due in May. eep!

We moved rooms successfully, and I am now happily installed in the big room with the wonderful sea view. Although the view hasn't been that amazing these past couple of days as its been a bit stormy (making our broadband a bit crappy) but as I was unpacking/sorting stuff out on Saturday I was able to watch the sunset. And it has a wonderful double bed! So I can make a little Morwenna nest when I go too sleep :)

Apart from that I really haven't been up too much. Went and saw Venus on Sunday, wasn't that impressed with it. Then I forgot to say we went and saw Blood Diamond last week it was so good! Although a bit too Hollywood in places and Jennifer Connelly is a bit pathetic - they should have got a British actress.  Leonardo DiCaprio is yum and that accent omg! I want to put him in a box and pet him forever yum yum :) Plus its a really good film regarding Conflict Diamonds, its an Amnesty campaign (if you want to know more check out amnesty' website it has some good info) so it was very relevant to us seeing it :)

I should really be thinking about sorting out a job for the summer. Yes its only March but last year I left it a bit late, as in May. I don't really want to work in Focus again that was the most mind numbing place in the world to work in. It will be even slower now as the stupid company just opened a bigger store down the road from us. *rolls eyes* So yeah. I also want to get some experience in something like Oxfam or Amnesty work related, as I think I would enjoy doing something like that but I'm not quite sure what. But saving the world Morwenna style though.

Not amazing news from home at the moment though. My mum has another problem with her foot, well her other foot anyway. As (I'll explain for new favourites!) she had 4 toes amputated on her left foot over the summer,  spending 6 weeks in hospital, basically the whole of August. This is down to her diabetes as she gets ulcers in her feet as because of the diabetes she can't feel her feet at all now, due to having crappy blood sugar levels for years kills of the nerve endings in her feet or something like that. So when she has a problem, she obviously can't feel pain from it, so it normally escalates into something scary.

 Anyway this has been healing slowly since then and nearly healed up apart from a small whole in the bottom of the cut open area but now she has an ulcer on her other foot. So she can't really do much again, so is not a happy mummy at the moment. What’s worse though it was the funeral of a family friend  (of my gran) yesterday and because of this she couldn't go to it.  She is on antibiotics, which are quite strong so yeah not a happy mummy! Not hugely worried yet but still :(

I have been away from home for 8 weeks, wow time goes by quick. I think this will make it nicer when I go home because I have been away for so long. :)

Tea hasn't had much effect yet might give up on doing more work!

g'night all!

xxxxx

mood: sleepy

 I have just had the greasest dinner. Fried egg and chips. yum. But I figured I needed it as I am essay writing and have cramps due to evil monthy friend.

Spring is in the air! It felt warm today.  Although its meant to rain for the next week! But you can tell that spring is just round the corner

Haven't been up too much lately apart from essay writing, which is due into tomorrow. Annoyingly though because of all the lectures missed, we got told this morning that there was talk of an extension. Telling us the day before the essay is due in, isn't really helpful! lol My lectures are finally back to normal though this week, but I have a week off next week.

Moving into the big room this weekend! Although I have had to buy lots of stuff for it, well didn't have too for some things, like the posters! heheThe duvet though I had too, as its a double bed so obviously a single one won't fit! Oh and duvet sets. But my mum and dad bought the duvet so it hasn't been that bad, as I moaned about it.

Went and saw the Last King Of Scotland last week, it was really good! Apart from there is a bit of a gross torture scene at the end and a mutilated body but go see it! Forrest Whitaker (sp?) was really good in it, I can see why he won best oscar. Helen Mirren won best actress! Woo for British power! hehe Although I not so sure about the Departed, I didn't really see what was so special about it, very much a guy's film though. But it shows how much the Oscars is political doesn't it?!

Best go and finish essay, I have to footnote the damn thing! I have another one to do for monday, but I have to read it out on friday however its only 1,500 words so not too bad.

ttfn

xxxxx

mood: working

Ok lets see how this entry goes, as there isn't that long until neighbours time, then its Amnesty and I should really do some work as well! but meh. So apologies for typing/spelling mistakes as I am doing this quickly!

Half way through term now, scary. Still doesn't feel like I am getting anywhere though. I want stuff to do, yet I do have work to do (essay 2,500 in week today and seminar thing next friday) but I can't be bothered to do it! I just don't have energy lately to do stuff, even though I want to! Crazy no?!

Lectures cancelled again this week, although not for all modules. As I went up on monday morning presuming no email saying not to that lectures were back on. Wrong. Cue me sitting in a lecture hall for 20 mins *grumbles* I get back home, no email about it, so I emailed the secretary lady and she says we don't know what is happening and will email you back in a few days!! Then the lecturer emailed saying he has broken his leg (when we had snow, nearly two weeks ago now!) and that all lectures are cancelled for one module but the other one (which isn't till friday) well its actually a seminar but whatever!  Is going ahead. *rolls eyes* Kind of annoying really.

And I spent loads of money in the past couple of days. I have bought two posters, for when I move into the big room. They are Ansel Adams, so they were a little bit expensive but wonderful and I love his photography. Then yesterday I bought some books from Amazon.

But I don't mind spending money on books as I do on other things, as books are always useful and last forever! I decided to buy some classics as shamefully I have hardly read any, other that 3 Jane Austen's (I'm reading Mansfield Park at the moment, so I guess 3 and a half!) and Jane Eyre and thats it! Plus Amazon have got really good deals on some classics, there were some for £2! So I got 2 Dickens - Christmas collection and Great Expectations, Anne Bronte - Tennant of Wildfell Hall, Frankenstein,  and Diary of A Nobody. As well as two 20th Century classics, East of Eden and Grapes of Wrath by the wonderful Mr. Steinbeck :)

All 7 books were only  just over £22 bargain eh? :)

So yeah Bad Morwenna! But its better than spending it other things though, I'm trying to justify myself here can you tell? hehe

Ooop Neighbours best go ;) Toady and Steph are so going to get together and then Dee and Max are going to turn up! hehe - Hey! A future career I could be a script writer for Neighbours! *giggles*

mood: full

Been a very strange week I have too say. Lectures have started again, so its been getting used to a new timetable and modules which is always weird, especially  to start something completely new. I also will have loads more work to do this term, as one of my modules there isn't an exam its all essay ish based, which I think I perfer but still!. I have a seminar presentation (I hate  presentations but its only a little group, so it shouldn't be too bad)  to do in about 3 weeks, then after that an essay, then another 3 essays after that one! eep!

mood: okay

 I feel so dopey and tired today *blinks* So apologies about spelling mistakes, I can't be bothered to check them!

Probably from my scary 7 am start yesterday, which probably to most of you doesn't sound that scary but too me its very scary! Anyway exam went ok not too bad but I kind rushed it as the first 10 mins I sat there panicking as there weren't any question I could really answer and then I saw the line on the bottom of the page 'more questions on the other side' D'oh! tehe. I just shouldn't get up early!

Then went evil food shopping in the afternoon, I love shopping generally but to the supermarket? blagh. Plus Somerfield here is really crap.  Then we went to the new Matalan (I have never been in one before!) and it wasn't that exciting, it would have been more interesting if it was a Topshop or perhaps a huge Borders, however if that was the caseI would have no money rather quickly! Still the home stuff wasn't that bad I guess and quite cheap.

Then we went and saw Miss Potter, which was very cute all though some points it was a bit too cute and fluffy but generally a really good film. So worth watching, but not if you don't like cute and fluffy! :-)

My next exam isn't until thursday and then I'm done, although again its at 9.30 so another scary start :-S Well till May anyway and then lectures start next monday. 
Anyways I best get back to revision :-(

Hope everyone has had a good weekend :-)

mood: sleepy

I figured I would post on here since I haven't for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggessssssss!

I'm Back.

Huzzah!

In Aber that is! lol!

Thankfully!

Journey was ok but we didn't leave until quite late, eep so didn't get here till about 4 ish. Our little house is still in one piece, although a bit cold as we still haven't figured out the central heating yet! We can turn the heat on just not the little box that you put specific time and everything. oopp. The Landlady has also fixed our shed which is good as it was getting a bit battered poor wee thing. And poor Emma had to undergo an meal out with my mum and dad, she survived but poor her.

Anyway, Wicked was Wicked! Sorry I couldn't not do that! hehe Plus it was really good meeting Emma's two friends from home. Although we had these most annoying kids behind us and throughout the first half they just kept kicking the seats and talking loudly. grgr But the second half one of the theatre people sat there and they were soooo quiet! lol

My wisdom tooth is so friggin painful. owie. owie. I woke up at 6.30 this morning with it, but I gobbled down some Ibruprofen (sp?) and paracetamol and covered it in bonjela and feel back to sleep after a little while. bleurgh! Its so sore. My jaw operation didn't hurt this much!

Now its revision time, my first exam is not until the 20th but still. hmph. And its a Saturday at 9.30! eep. And the other one is 3 hours long and is on the 25th.

Right going to campus now.

mood: sore

hello!

mood: content

Apologies for lack of notes been revising! Will catch up at some point I promise!

Anyway bit bored so I did a survey, write a proper entry tomorrow and I'm going home in 3 days! woot! 

mood: bored

bah

I have an exam in an hour and half eeep!! I really don't want to! I HATE this module.

Trying..

to ...

remain ...

calm....

AHAH!

I'm hating waiting around for it, I just want it over and done with, exams in the morning are so much better.

More later xxx

mood: panicking!!

 *Warning rant/hormonal entry ahead! lol!*

Plus apologies in advance for boring you all with my whinging and moaning!

I feel SO crap today, didn't get much sleep kept waking up for stupid reasons. So feel incredibly tired/lethargic today. Then my wonderful monthly friend showed up, so also have cramps, headache, shakiness, dizziness, bit sicky feely but really hungry, so when I try and eat something I feel like I'm going to gag. Plus all the joyful emotions they I get as well. UGH!!!!

So thats the nay part, lol. Oh and the fact that I have an exam tomorrow afternoon, that I really, really, really, do NOT want to do. As its the most boring, uninteresting module in the world, so I really have no clue what to write.  Why the hell I didn't change it is beyond me. Well I now know after my few hours of revision over the weekend, some facts that I will ramble on for 2 hours and whether it is relevant or not I'm past caring right now.

Actually this morning I was so past caring about everything, lol. Just the rubbish in the kitchen,  washing up cooking, UGH! Hormones *rolls eyes* But Emma fed me tea, which is always good and let me whinge to her for ages! lol!

But the yay bit it is while I was sitting in the library  today I got a call (oops for having my phone turned on!) for a job interview! yay! At 2pm next monday, at Focus. So my first full day back at home, I have a job interview! woot! So that cheered me up a bit, as I have had two refusals so far.

Anyway back to the revision *le sigh*
