"Do you want to build a snow man?" Or play a game of football.

Hi,

So I've had the most fun week ever so I thought I'd do a blog about it.

Monday day I actually went to my lectures which I never do.

Bob told Ellie and I that he missed us then spoke about Law, which was effort 

But we found out that we didn't have to do a presentation that was due, which was amazing because I had only did my research the night before.

However, Ellie, Emily, Laura, Charlotte and I had to do a debate on the BBC wasting money and although it felt like Ellie and Emily kicked our asses, we drew.

On Tuesday, we learnt about green screen and on Wednesday we learnt how to blend noises out of tracks, and it was interesting as fuck. I think I finished first and all I did was mess around with the mixing board on the mac.

However, what made the week fun is that we actually ventured out of the flat. On Tuesday after lectures, Megan, Eric, Hannah, Eric, and I went to pittville park to play football and climb trees because Megan needed to take pictures. It was super fun and we all got ridiculously muddy.

Tuesday night, we watched Juno but half way through I went to skype my friend but the majority of the time I listened to him screaming on FIFA. 

Wednesday night, there was a film festival on, but Megan and I weren't feeling going but everyone else was going, so I invited Ellie and Emily down and we watched an episode of Saved by the Bell, and messed around on Facebook. Then everyone came back and we just pissed about and took snap chats and what not. 

Then today, I legit have just chilled.

Emily came over and we ordered pizza and Ellie and Megan joined us and we watched the 1d film

Then we went to the park again and we all got super muddy again and it was really fun!

That's all for now.

Dear Josh, Jay, Matt, Thomps and Connor

First of all, thank you.

You made 2013 more special for me than you will ever know.

You have given me so many memories that I will her forget and I can't tell you

How much that means to me.

I've made so many friends through you, friends that I don't think I could live without, just through going to your gigs and through your twitters.

It's been such a pleasure getting to know each of you. And even though I know I've told each one of you several times how much you mean to me, the majority of the time I can't put my gratitude into words. 

Love you, and miss you so much

Hello, 

So basically, I asked Emily to do an individual post on me earlier

And in return I said I would do one on her.

Here goes.

Emily is one of the most annoying little shits I've met since coming to uni.

But really, she's lovely and if you don't like Emily, you should be shot with a rifle.

This is Emily, her blog is www.something-like-emily.blogspot.com. You should check it out, it's decent.

 So, on the first day, I was expecting to meet Emily because although I'd spoken to a bunch of people on my course before we started, I'd known of her for a while. We're both fans of The Wanted and we had been following each other on twitter for ages. Of course she had planned to go out the night before and not made it out. 

She is legit my fave person on a night out, she gets super wasted really easily and also gets really lovey. 

Emily is also one of the people I'm living with next year and I'm so excited because she is hilarious. While we were giving our deposits, Emily had this whole thing where she thought she had to send her money to the DPS site, which is a deposit site. We told her she had to send it to YouTube. 

That's all I can really say about my lovely friend, Emily!

Except for she is the most fabulous person ever, and I love her to pieces.

Love you em!!

Birthdays, and what not

Hi,

So I know I touched on Hannah's birthday in my last post, but I'm going to go into detail in this post, and talk about Eric's birthday.

So, as I mentioned in my last post, Hannah turned 20 and for it, we went to nandos. I was so shocked and proud that Ryan actually pulled it off.

Earlier in the day, he had asked me to ring the restaurant and reserve a table for 15 people. I thought it might have been too late to book, but it turns out you can't book tables in the first place. I volenteered Megan to go down to the brewery half an hour before everyone was meant to meet there and book a table. It was such a load of fuss. They had to find a place to put us, and even then it took them over an hour. We had to keep telling Ryan to wait for an extra half hour, or 10 minutes. But in the end it was definitely worth it. Turned around after we'd been seated and just saw Hannah meerkatting in the door! 

When we had ordered food, I went over to the other side of the table because Austin had grabbed this extra hot sauce. Definitely wanted to try it, but he wanted Georgia to try it first which was fair enough because she literally has the biggest tolerance for hot things ever. I went to sit down next to Megan, and as I went to put my phone on the table, I dropped it. Usually this doesn't do much because nokias have the strength of bricks. But of course, this time the screen smashed. This didn't really mean much to me because I was due an upgrade anyway, but of course, Eric's luck that I had told him he could have it once I got my new phone. He still wants it though. I am now a iPhone wanker, yippee!

I ordered a chicken wrap with chips and peri peri salt. Completely ruined my food though because I had also put medium sauce on the side, which was too hot for me. Bree ended up finishing my food off because I couldn't eat it.

After nandos, a bunch of us went to weather spoons for drinks. I ordered 2 cider and blacks, Megan had half of one of them, then I had to neck 1 and a half pints because people wanted to leave. Soon as I got home I planked onto my bed because I was ill and knackard.

For Eric's birthday, we had organised a film night where we watched his fave film. Moon. Don't get too intregued. It was a really terrible film. 

He had his presents in the night as we were up at 12am watching American Horror Story. I bought him a bane action figure (bane is a character from Dark Knight Rises) and a beer called Blue Moon, Ryan bought him this 4 pack of beer called Estrella, Megan got him some American chocolate and Hannah bought him this pack of sweets that looked like crystal meth(breaking bad) 

On the day, Hannah, Ryan, Ellie, Emily and I sorted out food, like nachos, fajitas and his birthday cake which Hannah did freaking awesome.

She used a Betty Crocker cake mix, and put blue and yellow food colouring in the mix, apparently that's what the colours of the old wolverine were. She then covered the WHOLE cake with buttercream icing and drizzled chocolate buttercream over the top, it was mintttt! And obviously we blew up pink balloons and got him pink candles for the event. While the film was on, Ellie, Emily and I were sat there imessaging each other to make sure we knew what was going on, of course none of us knew and had to keep asking Eric or Megan to explain. Sorry guys!

We've just found out what modules we can take next year and I'm so freaking keen. The modules look so interesting!

I think that's it for this post.

Thanks for reading.

I am not welsh anymore.

Hii, 

Not much had really happened since I last put a post up but I thought I'd try.

It was recently Hannah's birthday, and she is no longer a teen, yayyyyy!

We all went out for nandos for her birthday and Ryan made sure it was a surprise. 

She received a new pair of converse off Ryan and Eric. Ryan got her a load of soap and glory

Stuff and Eric got her this cute little moustache cup. Megan got her a Starbucks travel mug, and she got a couple of cards off everyone. Her birthday card finally came in the mail, and I think she liked it, it was kind of an ongoing joke, about her being an elf.

Next up is Eric's birthday, and I'm hoping he'll be nicely surprised about what we've got planned. 

I've finally got my cast off, and I honestly am so happy. It felt so weird about my hand bring free! 

We also finally got our house sorted. Everyone's deposits have been paid, and honestly, it's such a relief. People I'm living with are: Hannah, Ryan, Ellie, Emily, Stephen and Danny. 

THE RUGBY HAS STARTED. Which is why the header of this blog post is called "I'm not welsh anymore" 

Wales are playing awfully and it's genuinely making me super depressed. They won one out of two matches, and although it's more than Scotland and Italy, were definitely not going to win the championship, in fact if I could put my money on anyone to win the grand slam/championship my money would be going on Ireland this year. FAAAAANTASTIC.

We started watching American Horror Story and I swear to god, if have never watched anything so freaky in my entire life. The first series is called "Murder House" and it's about a house that a shit load of people have been killed in, and in gruesome ways. I don't know why we're watching it but we've literally watched a whole season in 2 nights. 

We've also come up with a drinking game for Mr Selfridge, and it's pretty hilarious. I havnt participated thus far, but I will let people know how it goes.

That's all for now. 

TTYL.

House hunting gets boring sometimes. Getting drunk doesnt.

Suppppppp!

Not much has really happened the past 2 weeks except it was Austins and Jazmins birthdays.

Jazmin turned 20, Austin turned 21!
These birthdays turned last Wednesday into a complete wreck..
Everyone got wasted, and we all done some pretty silly things.
Wednesday evening started off quite uneventful, except Ellie and I said we would help Eric and Hannah with their assignment. They had to make a film, and their pitch thing was freaking great. They had someone stealing bacon and they put like 3 genres in the film (western, film noir and normal) and I got to play the person who got their bacon stolen which is pretty ironic because i'm not really fussed on bacon. Despite being super excited to be in their film, I was also very nervous because i cant act for shit. I get really giggly! From that experience I will take away knowledge that I should not act, I always pull the beaker face when im trying now to laugh, and that the line "you stole my bacon" can be put into so many situations.
This went on till about 9pm because everyone was pre drinking in our flat.. I literally got ready so so fast i cant recall.
Emily then turned up and sat on my bed amongst all the balloons we had blown up and watched me get ready.
Pre drinking consisted of playing beer pong, chandelier and popping Liams balloon babies.
Also, something else happened while pre drinking which excites me so much.. WE GOT A FLAT PHOTO! The fact that not all of us go out together often means it doesnt happen. But everyone was in the kitchen celebrating Austin and Jazmin's birthday,so we managed to get one!!
By this time, we were all relatively drunk thanks to downed ciders and a glass full of Jager. We decided to leave for Moos. My favourite part of the night consisted of Emily, Hannah and I dinosaur running down the high street, then Eric, Emily and I skipped down the road by Moos. I also patted Georgia on the head(Sorry!!)
I wish I could tell you events of the rest of the night, but the memories escape me. Either that or they're too embarrassing to relive.
The hangover the next day was pretty non existent seeing as im sure I was still drunk till about 3pm.

House hunting has been happening thing week and we've all changed minds about whose living with who so many times i've lost count. I actually gave up and came back to Cardiff early. Early enough to see Lowri on her opening night!!!

Lowri is currently doing a play called "Mort" which was originally a novel by Terry Pratchett. She legit only auditioned for a part because Lizard-face Cumberbatch (Benedict Cumberbatch) told her to. Which im glad he did. I was so proud of her. Which you'll have seen if you have me on Facebook or follow my Instagram.
She played the maid. Ive never seen Lowri do anything like this so it was really nice to see her performing! Also, if you actually know her, Its a shock to see her wear heels and SHE DID. Extra marks for her.
Also, shes befriended the lead in the play, and he is absolutely gorgeous.
I also got to see Hannah, which was lush .

Thats it thats happened these passed 2 weeks!

First post of the year!

SUP!

I actually forgot about this blog until last night when I was pondering over life, as you do at 3am.

the past 3 weeks have been quite interesting.
Im not going to bother with the rest of my Cardiff trip because I think people who actually read this will probably had a guts full of hearing about it.
Although something that was a first for me was that I HAD MY FIRST NEW YEARS KISS. I know it seems quite minor for some people, but it was quite big for me (i'm quite lame.)
I went back to Chelts the week before uni started, and the first day back, i went to the hospital with Hannah, turns out I might have fractured my skafroid bone in my wrist the first night I had out in Cardiff when I wet back for Christmas. So, as a result of that ive been in a cast for the past 2 weeks. YAY. Its super annoying because ive gotta shower in a plastic bag, I cant do my own dishes and I cant write notes in lectures.
But despite that, it hasnt stopped me going out.

My first night out back was on the Thursday when I came back was hilarious. It was only Ryan, Hannah and I and I was so drunk I actually threw up. (doesnt happen in cheltenham)
But it was a really good night.

My next night out was on the Monday, when Austin and Jazmin decided that they were going to show the new americans Cheltenham nightlife. We ended up at Glamourpuss, which is a night where Kukui and Voodoo merge. This night, id say was a bust on my part, although it was lovely to get to know some of the americans that arent in our flat. A couple of them have decided that im like one of their friends from back home and have taken to calling me beaker, which amuses me, but scares me because I cant say im like anything/anyone in particular??
But in the end I had to drag Eric and Ellie out of the club, and make sure neither got run over or ran into walls. I also got blamed for depriving them of food, which is a complete lie. Anyway, I spent the whole night sober and my wrist was aching like a bitch.

Laura, Shaun, Stephen, Eric, Ben, Cait, Munya, Kenda, Ellie and me

 Ellie and I then went out with some of the people from our course, and two guys from Laura and Emily's flat. I feel like this night was one of the best Ive had out since moving to Cheltenham.
Laura, Emily, Alex and Fwin(James) came to Regency to pre drink with Ellie and I. We played 2 games of Ring of fire and of course I ended up with the shit mix both times. Safe to say I was fucked. we also made a rule saying the next people to pick up a certain card, they had to knock on someones door in the next corridor and introduce themselves. Ellie got the card and knocked on Shauns door while he was skyping his parents.. Oops!
I cant really remember what happened the majority of the night, except we all ended up walking around moos just talking to people we knew and stuff then making friends with people that were POM(popular music) 3rd years and them telling us they would let us record them(part of our new module) which was interesting.

The night after Hannah, Ryan and I went out, flat 4100, flat 5300 and some of the new americans did film night on Erics projector which he brought back up after Christmas. We watched Elysium; I didnt really like it but a load of people loved it. Suppose it has to be your type of film.
After everyone went back to their flats, Eric, Hannah, Ryan and I stayed in the kitchen, and Ryan went absolutely insane for about half an hour. He started OINKING, and called Hannah and I scheming pixies. I was sat in the window sill with my eyes literally streaming because it was so funny.

WE HAVE NEW AMERICANS IN OUR FLAT!!!!
I know id already said that but I thought i'd elaborate.
Their names are Megan, Bree and Ben and they are so much fun.

I'm having genuine thoughts about dropping out at the moment because of some of the assignments we've got coming up in the new modules.
One in particular im extremely worries about in for "music industry practices"
We've got to find an artist, record them, then market them..
Marketing them; not so hard..
Finding someone and recording them; NAHHH.
What do they think I am?

Then for a module called "sound and screen" we've got to record a music video and a 2 minute promotion video..
NOPE.

I dont think much else has really happened, except ive off home at the end of the month because mumma has a hospital appointment and cant be in the house on her own.

Thats it.
TTYL,
