What a ride!

So I haven't blogged for a month, but so much has happened recently.
To fill you in quickly, well where to begin?
So Disney was absolutely perfect, and even though it's magical enough as it is, it snowed every day we were there, so it looked like a winter wonderland. I had the most amazing time and then Christmas was shortly after, Christmas was also pretty perfect, family, friends and food, what more could a girl want?
Then I turned the big one eight, I still can't believe how quick time has gone! I have been so busy, bogged down with work, revision, leaving little time at the moment for my netball and hockey. However my life should be a little more hassle free after this Friday- I have my last January exam then, thank goodness!
I have an interview for one of my university choices tomorrow. I just can't wait to get to uni, I wish I was there now, but I should enjoy my time at home now before I leave in September. I keep saying to everyone how quick time has flown by, but it's true, it seems like yesterday I had only just started college, and yet in less than 5 months I will be finished at college!
Well I best get a good night sleep, I have a big day ahead of me, but I will be blogging more often from now on, after all my exams are over :)

Disney tomorrow!

Well I've had the busiest past few days, I'm much better now thank goodness! I was up early yesterday to go to the orthodontist then from there the doctors and then a day of revision. Today I was up early yet again for a meeting with my head of college, nothing bad-all good. It was basically to congratulate me on my report as it was very good, and to say well done on achieving my good grades.
Anyway after a very interesting and strange english lesson on Angela Carter's 'The Bloody Chamber' discussing one of the short stories 'The Snow Child', I have not stopped rushing around. I went into town to exchange a christmas present, from there to Halfords, to buy headlamp beam adapters for the car (it is compulsary to have them when driving in France, to stop the other car on the other side of the road getting completely blinded), and then back home again to clean the car out. I still have to pack, but that shouldn't take too long as we're going for five nights only, however time is ticking away.
I am really craving a nice big mug of hot chocolate now anyway so I shall be blogging away as soon as I get back, and no doubt it will all be about my adventure in Disneyland Paris!

Snow is falling, all around me...

It really is beautiful outside, my courtyard is covered in a blanket of crisp snow, it's a shame I can't go outside to appreciate it. I've been cooped up in bed all week with sinusitis (infected sinuses), I feel awful and with Disney being two weeks today I really hope it clears up before then as I've got so much to get ready.
I'm on antibiotics so hopefully I will be feeling much better soon.
I cannot believe it's the first of December, It has come around so quick, and I haven't even got an advent calender yet! For some reason I don't feel that rush of excitement I normally feel when December comes around. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I feel like death, and nothing seems to make me feel better.
I'm supposed to be playing hockey this weekend but with this weather I'm sure it will be cancelled, and even if it isn't i'm certainly in no fit state to play. Plus hockey training has been cancelled the past two weeks due to the pitch being frozen. So it would be madness to play in this weather!
I hope it snows on Christmas day, that would be perfect, to just get up and see snow all outisde. I have this gorgeous vision of a wonderful Christmas day-  waking up to see snow falling, having the traditional family Christmas breakfast, and sitting inside the living room all cosy by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate while exchanging  presents. Every Christmas is wonderful, but with the exception of no snow, it seems to snow on any day but Christmas, I can't remember last time it did.
Hopefully, fingers crossed my vision of Christmas will come true, but for now I am going to retire to bed and dream lots of dreams!

Just a quick blog

What a week it has been, so much college work, did alot of overtime at work this week, and crammed in hockey-which was worthwhile as we won 2-1 this weekend!
That all probably explains why I haven't been on here in a few days, I seem to find myself busy all the time. There just isn't enough hours in the day, however I am very much looking forward to the 15th of December as my boyfriend and I are leaving for Disneyland Paris for four nights! I am very excited much like a little kid at Christmas time! It's safe to say I will be blogging all about my Christmas get-away to Disney.

'Voting is a pleasure' according to the Socialist Party of Catalonia 's leader, Jose Montilla

There is an absolutely hillarious video that I came accross on the BBC's website, it's a video that features a woman who supposedly orgasms when she votes for the Socialist party in this month's regional election in Catalonia. I think it's a captivating way of getting people to vote, the idea that voting really does bring great 'pleasure'. I couldn'd find a direct link to the video so go on the BBC website (via my link) and it should be on the right hand side! Happy watching :)

Formspring me- My views on the social network site.

Just today I was being a bit nosy looking at people's formspring me pages, I deleted it a few months ago after having a comment posted on there by anonymous which upset me. I was looking at a particular persons page who I know, and some of the comments people have posted to her are dreadful. Involving comments like 'your such a fake *****, nobody likes you, you're a ****'. I just don't understand why these people waste their time posting things like that? Furthermore I do not have a clue why the people who have received this abuse then comment back? I can undertsand a younger person going on this site and getting drawn into the idea of anonymous posts from people telling the person how they feel about them/what they think. But are people of my age really wasting their time on this ridiculous site? To be honest I think the site should no longer be ran, it is an oppurtinity to bully, and comments I have seen are shocking! Most of the time, three quarters of the comments are posted by anonymous and are pretty malicious posts. It is nothing other than cyber-bullying, but I just don't understand why the people receiving the abuse then give it back and keep on asking for it?
What do you think about the social network site formspring me?

Dramatic Demo

The students and lecturers protesting today in London, against plans to treble tuition fees and cut university funding in England turned vicious, leaving at least ten people needing hospital treatment. Union leaders who organised the march, condemned the violence claiming 'it was a small minority of protestors who "hijacked" the event.'
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson said: "It's not acceptable. It's an embarrassment for London and for us."
He added: "I am determined to have a thorough investigation into this matter. We didn't expect this level of violence."
National Union of Students president Aaron Porter described it as 'despicable'
32 had been arrested for a range of offences, including criminal damage and trespass, and were put in custody.
I think this is absolutely awful, as a student if I went on that demo I would want respect in hope that my protesting had done enough to stop plans going ahead. Violence isn't the answer!
