yay (part trois)?!

yes, can you believe it....!! another batch of great news - i passed my professional studies assignment - phew!! i'd blissfully forgotten all about it actually..and yesterday we were told that we'd get our results today.

i must admit, getting (or rather waiting) for the results are incredibly stressful - i just have absolutely no idea whether i passed or failed...there is just no knowing.. :/

but i'm glad i passed. very glad indeed.

now..because of this wonderful news, i was meant to go out and exchange my jacket from zara. however, it was so cold today that once i got home - i stayed in! there was noo way i was going to head back outside...it was freezing in my room so i hopped straight onto my bed and covered myself with my lovely blanket and switched on my laptop and wasted away the evening. nice.

tomorrow i'm heading off to zara ;) in the morning. i'm considering giving the jacket back and getting a refund? i'm not sure, i'll see how the change of size goes. will pop in to a shoe maker and get my shoes re-heeled - i keep slipping, they are so bloody dangerous! and i'll head off to cambridge at 3pm. do not fear - i will be back sunday morning (after a bit of /window/ shopping at westfield ;))

have a lovely weekend all

YAY (part deux)

so i retook my ICT skills test today and.... i passed!! hurrah!! so that's two down, one to go (the worst lies ahead of me though - maths...)

earlier this morning, i received a text from zara saying that my package is ready to be collected from the shop in covent garden (just a two minute walk from holborn - where the test centre was) so i happily went and got it.

i came home and unpacked it and...i'm not entirely happy with it :/ it's like it's a bit too small on me...i'm planning on going to zara tomorrow and changing it for a bigger size (L!!) or giving it back all together ;/

got a 'bright' top from h&m (a very orange, rusty, earthy colour) in size 14 so it's rather slouchy :D but nice. i like. it's the only really colourful item of clothing i have...wow. shall be flaunting it tomorrow at uni.

cannot wait till april when i will be (hopefully, fingers crossed) in poland! just waiting for confirmation from L's work to accept his holiday form. it's been too long since i was home.

i need to get on with my essays this weekend. i have planned to go to cambridge to see anna sing in her choir - they are giving a show in a church, should be impressive :) i will be back on sunday and next week i have the whole of wednesday off so i can catch up on some essay writing..i have two essays due in for 25th feb while i'm out of london so i'm going to try to write and hand them in on the friday..! yay...

i miss L and i've been totally deserted by 'friends' but for ania.
so, to whoever is reading this, thanks for stopping by and reading

literacy skills test - PASS

woot woot! i passed my literacy skills test...only ICT and maths to go... thursday i have ICT and maths - hm...maybe in march? i'm so not prepared for it...

however..

because i succeeded in my test, i treated myself to a bit of oxford street lavishness... yes, i went to new look and got a pair of tights ;) haha.

(i do have a jacket, jeans and a scarf making its way to me via the wonderful post :p)

oops - naughty me! i said i wouldn't go shopping, but i just couldn't resist after such nice news!! i must admit i will be spending more on a bag that i've cast my eyes on in aldo..... maybe thursday when i pass my ICT :D?#

xoxo

another week over..

the weekend whizzed past like speedy gonzales.
more work done, but still a lot lies ahead..

i have my ict skills test tomorrow at 17:15 so fingers crossed!

on a brighter note - i purchased a lovely (faux) leather jacket from zara- i promise this is my last purchase from zara for a long long time!! :)

another week of uni ahead.. hopefully i'll get more work done during the week..

i cannot contain myself, i really cannot wait for february and my additional school experience! all the way up in stockton - yay!

L and I have also come to the conclusion that we will go to PL twice this year - april (for easter) and december (for chrimbo). i 'might' go in august too for a few days as it's my gran's 90th(!!) wow, i'm glad we've finally settled on some dates :D i can't wait! i miss home.

a tad bit beauty obsessed at the mo...

it may not be so obvious to you all (particularly through this blog) that i am LOVING a multitude of beauty products and also a new obsession of mine are clothes and handbags..

i don't like to talk about it at al, as this blog is supposed to be about 'my life' and what is going on. however, recently i haven't been blogging AT ALL. oops.

i'm a student. i don't have a lot of money and i have been complaining that i don't have money to get a ticket to poland etc.. and so i feel really bad every time i get myself a new top/blouse/trousers/bag/cosmetics/bag/jewelery... :(

but i must admit, recently i've been obsessed.

i've been buying way too many clothes, my wardrobe is slightly overflowing! that's never happened before.
now, i did make a promise to myself that this year i will buy only good quality clothes (i.e. no more primark, no more tacky clothes that fall apart after being worn once). so i'v been buying waaay too much in the zara/topshop sale (and not-so-sale!) tragedy. luckily, i've come to a stop - i have satisfied my clothes shopping desire (hopefully!)

i've bought so many cosmetics - especially from clinique, bare minerals, urban decay (i've yet to get mac and nars ;)) and i've also gotten into painting my nails (something completely new to me). i've been going mad!! barry m, essie, gosh, rimmel, sally hansen (for strengthening), maybelline.. i'm all onto you!

anyway - enough of this babble.

life at uni is stressful. a lot of work to do, many essays to research and write.
february will be spent up north with L and at school doing my additional experience in nursery and year 1. should be fun. especially that L will be away for 2 weeks while i'm there :/

susan (my flattie) has got herself a leading role in an irish series (anf will be on tv in ireland) SOOO so happy for her :)

trying to sort out my holidays to poland - decision: should i go for easter and chrimbo OR summer hols and chrimbo?? need to check out tickets too..that's the worst part.

that's all folks! hope you're all well...

another year over...

and what a year it has been...

jan - was in poland for dad's 70th
feb - had a lovely valentine's day for the first time in my life
march - bunked off school to go with L to his 'work do'
april - erm, nothing?
may - bday present in use at the track, which resulted in L's car to break down
june - last month of being an LSA
july/august - at L's, the best time ever
sept - started uni
oct - busy at uni
nov - amazing bday with L up north
dec - another wonderful chrimbo with the Holding's and an ever better new years in the cottage

all done and gone..it's amazing how fast a year flies now.. when i was younger, time used to go so slowly..things have certainly sped up since then!

2011.. i wonder what you will bring me..
hopefully i will successfully finish this pgce course

i have made some new years resolutions:
- buy clothes only at zara/topshop
- stop buying crappy stuff that is not quality
- same goes for makeup and skincare products
- keep on top of things (ie don't leave it till the last minute)

how are you all doing in this new year? any resolutions/plans? hope you're all well!
