Well. It's November now, and this is usually around about the time that my blog's start to get updated more and more. Now that I've settled back into uni and a kind of half stable work pattern, I can focus on documenting my final year!

Final year... can't believe I'm here already! Doesn't seem all that long ago I was writing from Brock Halls saying how first year was hectic. Didn't know a THING back then!!!!!! This year so far, handed in 2 group assignments (presentations) and 1 written. Not too bad, but there's a lot more work that has to go into things in final year. Just as a warning to those out there who think that actually it's not that bad. 3am mornings may have to become normal later on in the year, would you believe?!

Take last week for example. Had an essay due in.... got to the library at 11am. Ended up starting the essay over twice, and then leaving the library at 7.15am the next morning. Madness! But totally worth it. It's sort of woken me up. So much so, that it's only Tuesday and I'm now writing a reflective essay that's due on Friday. Big improvement for me!! But not very good at reflecting. Would much rather just be happy with who I am and accept how I got here without having to analyse it all. Admittedly, blogging has helped out a lot!! It does come in useful after all.

Getting back into uni-life following work placement has been the hardest thing I've had to do though. Really difficult to get from work-mode into uni-mode. Especially with having a part time job too. It seems as if I'm more focussed on my job than on the uni work. So need to get my priorities straightened out! I work there 3 days a week for 4 hours at a time. Works out quite nicely. However, I've not been able to do as many shifts lately due to 2 bouts of laryngitis. Let me tell you, LJ, not being able to talk is NO fun at all!!!!!!

Went to the hospital yesterday too. Having to start on a whole new weight loss regime with the help of the NHS. Life is all good fun at the moment lol. I'm either in uni, at work, or at some medical establishment of some description.

Going out for pre-drinks tomorrow though for a friend's birthday. Can't believe Manisha is dressing up as a cow, whilst everyone else is dressing up as butterflies, ladybirds, bumble bees etc. She's just liking making statements. At Christmas, apparently, she's dressing up as a present!!!!!!

I'm going as an elf! Yay! Need to find a costume!

Anyway, I'm going to go and do some uni work now..... at 23:54.
This WILL happen.

Loves much.

Fall out with a certain Scotsman who decided to phone me for an hour at like... 12.30am. Then, I couldn't sleep because of bloody waterproof socks!!!!!!

*hides under covers* I don't wanna get ready for work...

Well, today's been an odd day really. Work was quiet, but then after work, I went to get the bus, as normal.

Me: *leaning against the bollard*
Conductor guy: Cheer up, love, it's not the end of the world.
Me: I would, but... the back of my feet are torn to shreds.
C: I'm not surprised with heels like that.
M: They're not that high!
C: Lift the bottom of your trousers up?
M: *does so*
C: It's still a good inch off the ground!
M: Yeah, not that high!
C: Every inch counts!
Guys around: *laugh*
M: *rolls eyes*
C: I don't know. You always here women moaning about their feet. Never hear men moaning.
M: Sure you do. Just not about their feet.
C: *silence*
Other guys: She has a point......

So, after this, I now have conductor guys phone number, and he's invited me for drinks in Manchester one day. Rather amused me, really. Though, he now knows my name and where I work. Damn name tags.

Either way, the backs of my feet are still torn to shreds. Stupid shoes. Irene gave me plasters today though, saved me buying a box, bless her.

Tomorrow's the job interview. Kind of looking forward to it! Not prepared, but don't think I need to do much prep really. Think about good/bad customer service experiences, talk about my last retail position, and generally be nice and bubbly etc? It might work. I'm sure they'll let me know soon enough if it doesn't though. 

So, I'm going to go and watch Wimbledon. Not the competition. The film. It's a bit late for the tournament, reall. Can't believe it's dark at 9pm. Summer really is over already :( 

Oh, and apparently I'm going to Florida next year??? So Donna says anyways hehe.

Loves much xx
