    Lost - The Complete Fourth Season

    So what have i been up too in the past 2 months since my last entry. Well i finished work, had some free time, went on holiday (another cruise) and started back uni and work. holiday was so much fun, great to get away and not worry about early mornings and deadlines and year end just relaxation. but since i've come back i've had nothing but early mornings and deadlines and a looming dissertation deadline (okay slight exaggeration as its due 30/4/09) but it will come sooner than i think. Uni sucks, its good and i am glad i chose to go back but it is just so hard and not enough hours in the day to do everything, so it has resulted in 8am starts (uni doesn't open any earlier or i would be in 7:30am) and late finishes (5pm most nights) but then the work continues at home till late (or wee small hours of the morning in some cases). At the same time as this i am still working part-time in the uni 15hrs a week. but they have been really great and really supportive and Robert & Catherine are trying their best to help me stop freaking out.

    I have managed to squeeze in some fun though. Couple of odd days with jenny and mhairi, the best being sleepover/pudding party where we made white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake, profiteroles and dirt (the dirt was jenny's thing and ill let her explain) it was so much fun, with that we watched 2 weeks notice and Jane Austen Bookclub and the inflatable bed (gotta love it) And i have all my girlies back yeah!!! we are all together again and have had several lunches at Starbucks (the caramel hot chocolate is fab, had a large one today and i have had my chocolate fix for a week it was so huge) many a good time with them.

    My relief from uni and work came this week which comes in the shape of LOST season 4. And i am loving it, have managed to squeeze quite a bit in and only 5 more episodes to go, but i'm not going to say anymore for you readers that might not have seen it yet. But i love it!!!! So good!

    So i am gonna go and do a shed load of studying so i can watch some more lost, so hope all is well with everyone

    Long time no use, i almost forgot i had this thing.

    anyways while im here i may as well try and update you on a goof couple of months.

    I've been working away hard on my placement. Glasgow caledonian university finance office, has been a good but challenging year, glad i have got through it. Last day tomorrow yeah!! Then its back to studying which will not be so good. I was at some point contemplating giving up uni and applying for a full time job going here, but i decided the wisest thing would be to finish uni and get my degree.

    Social life has definately been on the rise in 2008. Thanks to the guys at work i have had a fair few good nights out in a variety of places.

    Had a goof number of meet-ups with my great friends. Not had Jenny in my life for 3 months which was hard, but she arrives home today yeah!! can't wait to catch up with her.

    Go on holiday in a week for another cruise. 2 weeks in the med with my family visiting, Gibraltar, Morocco, Spain, France and Italy, can't wait as the weather here has been miserable.

    Was at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, which was good but not as good as previous years. Had a pirate themed line-dancing weekend which was so much fun.

    Been taking driving lessons all year and i am now ready for my test just can't get a time to book it coz of work and holidays, so thats number 1 for things to do when return from holiday.

    Thats the extremely brief outline of my life this year. If anyone wants more detail just let me know and i can fill ya in

    hey all, just a wee note to say what i have been doing. I have been working hard at work and playing even harder after work, but i must say having an active social life for the first time in my life is quite tiring but really fun. Still taking my driving lessons, in about 3 weeks i will have covered everything so it is just a case of practicing over and over and over again. Can't really say how am doing cause my instructor doesn't say much but i think im doing well enough and really enjoying it. Got my first line dance weekend coming up soon so really excited about that.

    Okay so this has been getting neglected, so here goes with i don't know how long a entry yet.

    Well i went my hols on the first of feb which was really good, sunshine sea and relaxation with a little bit of dancing thrown in. It wasn't good coming back as i said previously i had nothing on. But instead it has been non-stop. Between work nights out and family nights and friends nights out shopping days and my driving lessons it has been non-stop. And it is only set to continue with me going out twice this friday night, work night out and then straight to line dancing, Nik Nak wil be coming home soon as well so will be going up for a wee catch up (hopefuly the fire alarm won't go off this time) then i have the lovely Jennys birthday amd then Mandy is home so yet another catch up. And in between all that i have to continue driving try to get back to CU and meet up with Jenny for some national Treasure. Okay so it wasn't that long but i have ran out of lunch hour so i shall let you know how they all go next time as well as i'll let you know how my driving is going xx

    Okay, so time for a wee quick update, i moved in to Cash Office (eventually) and i am loving it. I haven't laughed so much in a long time, i have also done more things in my first 2 weeks than i did in 2 months in income. So much to do and so much money at stake, i honestly could not believe how much money goes through the uni, it is scary. I have also had a very busy weekend, had line-dancing on Friday night, driving lesson on saturday as well as a family dinner in this really cool Italian and the Chinese State Circus on sat night. This friday i have another line-dancing night. I have also had the cold since friday so not feeling great, but slowly on the mend which is good as i go on holiday a week tomoz, yeah so excited can't wait. and as i speak mum is also booking our summer hols. Not much to look forward to for a while. After i come back my holiday its 2 weeks till i next have something on, whatever am i to do with myself. But in saying that we havn't had a night out at work for a while, so might plan something then. Well thats really all i have been up to recently, hope everyone is doing well and got lots of exciting things coming up. xox
