Time to climb back on board the blogging train...

Okay, so once again I failed on the blogging front! It seems attempting to post every day was a little optimistic - especially whilst I was in the midst of exams. But anyway, I'm back and I have the whole summer in front of me to enjoy so I guess it's time to get back on board.

So, without further ado, I'd better start with a round up of everything that's happened in the past month.

My second year exams are finally over and done with. All in all, I think they went okay but it's always difficult to know. I guess all I can do now is hope for the best and keep my fingers crossed for results day on 1st July.

I've moved out of my uni house too which was such a bitter-sweet experience. On the one hand I was really pleased to leave as I hated my bedroom and I was excited to get home for the summer. But on the other, it meant saying goodbye to Lucy and Charl for the summer before we all headed off to opposite ends of the country. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss them.

Melissa, Katrina and I also went to see 'Cats' at the theatre a couple of weeks ago. I knew nothing about the show before we went so I didn't really know what to expect, but I was blown away! The entire show was fantastic. The quality of the sound was amazing, and the dancing was incredible, but the costumes were just something else! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone. My favourite cat was definitely the Rum Tum Tugger who was just SO dreamy and super attractive...even dressed as a cat!

I've also met up with my other friends from home since I've been back. Jessica, Michelle, Helaina, Katrina and I all went for a meal and cocktails a couple of evenings ago. It was so lovely to see everybody all back together again and we had such a great time catching up and reminiscing about old times. I'm so excited for this summer now that we've been reunited again!

I'm back at work now too. I'm mainly in the kitchen now rather than waitressing, but I actually almost prefer it in there because I don't have to think or smile at people! It'a all money at the end of the day and every little helps to clear my overdraft!!

Last but not least...I'm off to Spain on Monday! I am genuinely SO excited and I just can't wait to get away for a couple of weeks and relax with cocktails in the sunshine with my best friends. I'm at work until 11pm on Sunday night and then we fly at 6am Monday morning so I'm going to be so tired, but I don't even care, the excitement will get me through!! I shall definitely post a good blog post when I return.

I think that's everything for now so I'm going to head off for a cheeky bike ride while the sun is still shining!

What have you done today to make you feel proud? #3

Today, I finished making revision cards for my phonetics module, planned answers to 10 past exam questions, and drew and labelled a poster of the vocal tract. It doesn't sound like an awful lot, but I'm pleased with my days work and I feel like I'm gradually getting closer to being fully prepared for my exam on Tuesday.

Also, it was Charlotte's birthday today so we've had a small celebration in the house which was lovely, and I'm currently sorting out when my parents are going to be able to come down to Leeds to collect my stuff and take me home for summer. Happy days!

(Super quick post because it's late and I'm tired!)

What have you done today to make you feel proud? #2

So, following on from yesterday's productivity, I made a list first thing this morning of everything I wanted to complete today.

Here's the list...

I know it's not a massively long list, but I always find I work best when I set myself a few small targets to hit by the end of the day. 

And here's the list now...

Romeo done!

It might sound silly, but I genuinely do believe that nothing beats the satisfaction of crossing things off a list and I really love the feeling of being able to stop and know that I've done enough for the day.

What's even better is that I actually really enjoyed today. After lunch, Lucy, Charl and  I took our work and spent the afternoon in our favourite cupcake shop and revised over tea and cake. It was just so nice to get out of the house and go somewhere that wasn't the library for a change!
