waiting for easter to come

so i flew out to poland for the weekend and it was lovely!
i got to see my parents and spent time at home - i loved it.
now i'm back and my flattie is still ill and sowing his germs around the house, to which point i have managed to catch it. i went to uni in the morning but after coming back home for lunch i crawled into bed, wrapped myself in my blanket, lemsip in hand, aspirin on the go and tissues on roll. sneezing and coughing has commenced.

i've been trying to get my statement done for schools to go with my CV.. it's not so easy. it's taking me ages to come up with something that is good enough.

on the other hand, i'm totally loving the feeling of not having to write any essays! it feels so weird having so much time on my hands..i actually have time to be in bed and get better! wow...

hope you're all well

so maybe that 'flooding' dream was a sign?

my mum was taken to hospital and she had her operation today and it's all fine. my mum is well and she'll be going home tomorrow!! i'm so so happy! and i cannot wait to see them on friday! so glad to hear everything's ok.

i've also rediscovered my old love for ivri lider (a most talented and handsome looking israeli singer-songwriter) it's a shame itunes doesn't have all of his songs :/

on a bad note: what is wrong with some sales-assistants?? i went up to a clinique counter and the stupid (16-18 year old) assistant just TOTALLY blanked me. she went round to the other side and was 'talking business' with an older sales-assistant. so i stood there STARING at them for a good 3 minutes, after which i got pissed off and moved on. a sales-assistant from the clarins counter saw me and the whole situation and she approached me (lovely lady- thank you) and asked me what i was looking for. i told her i wanted to ask about the eye-cream from clinique, to which seh responded that she could go and check for me (bless her - it's totally not her counter) and i just told her that it's the other woman's responsibility and if she can't be bothered that it's their problem.

some people just should not be sales-assistants, not when they have an 'i-can't-be-bothered-to=acknowledge-customers' kind of attitude. boo to you. i shall not be returning to that counter ever again. you're doing yourself such bad publicity and i'm sure there are many women like me who do the same - you just don't go back to places that treated you like crap. full stop. the end.

i've just purchased my ivri lider - off i go to full on sing-along mode :)!! (glad the flat's empty and no-one will hear my awful howling, i mean 'singing' ;))

sleepless nights

so i've been having problems with sleeping..
i can't seem to fall asleep at a 'normal' hour.
i've been going to bed between eleven and midnight, and haven't fallen asleep till three, four-ish.
terrible.
and, i had a really weird dream last night about a flood that i kept clearing but it kept coming back..so i looked it up and came across definitions, such as:
"to dream about a gentle flood suggests that your concerns about a particular situation will soon be washed away"
could it really be about my mum? well..i'm not sure whether to believe it or not..? maybe..??

have so much work again this weekend for ICT..was sat at uni today till 7:30pm doing a powerpoint presentation about bees. fun fun fun. just maths tomorrow and the afternoon off so i'll be off to boots to get me some no7 stuff..

xoxo

happy days again :)

i'm coming home next weekend - absolutely thrilled to bits, it has however been triggered by my mother's illness.. she's due to have an operation this week if they have any free spaces. i want to be there for my dad and to make sure my mum's feeling better.

still a bit tied up with uni (ICT presentation for wednesday next week) and essay due in for the friday after that. but then that's my last essay ever (well, unless i fail sth then i'll have to resubmit ;) hopefully that won't happen)

so excited to go home. can't wait to see mum and dad.

xoxo

happiness

firstly, i'm SO happy for getting my maths essay (and all the 'little' bits that went with it) ids done and dusted - handed in and forgotten about! this now means that i now have only one more essay left to write - ICT...and it's for next friday, so soon, all these silly essays will be DONE.

secondly, i've been so motivated by alexis jordan and her song 'happiness' :) since the first time i heard it, it makes me hum along, dance and want to be happy (corny but true). the beat of the song is so invigorating and the general vibe i get from the song is - summer!

alas, i am about to state something that will be a complete contradiction to what my previous post was about - namely, i will be heading to primark (hangs head in shame) i know, i know..i said i would never shop there and i think people who do are silly..BUT i've been looking for a maxi dress since last summer and i cannot find one that is within my price range (i've seen some truly beautiful ones for astronomical prices going into the hundreds..) and one youtuber whom i happened to watch today bought a really pretty, very plain and straightforward maxi dress from the dreaded primarni. so, i will take a shot and go there tomorrow and see if this maxi dress is worth the eleven pound price tag ;)

white will be on my wish list.. very summery..

aside from my essay writing and mini shopping sprees.. i'm falling ill. just a little cold. but my nose is killing me, my body feels rather flimsy and i've been living on lemsip all day, don't have an appetite at all today. and it's all because of marcin and his bloody man-flu. ugh.

good night boys and girls xoxo

fake trash

just a thought that passed my mind while i was on the tube today, going to yet another very mini shopping spree ...

this watch is the fruit of my 'labour'.

anyway, back to the point of my post - fake trash. sometimes, i look at people, and i see fakery all over. fake, cheap and tacky. i know, that it's pricey to get good stuff..but once you do, you have decent, long-lasting things that look good. i used to buy stuff from primark, but i got fed up of having to throw everything away after having worn it once. useless. waste of money, even if it did cost £4. i live on a budget myself and believe you me, i know how hard it is, yet i always manage to get good things once in a while. it feels great to know that i've bought myself three tops that will last me the whole spring and possibly summer (if it's not too hot, which, living in england it won't be ;)).

i'm happy, happy that i'm not wasting my money. i look at some girls and think - that ring/skirt/top/shoes you're wearing will last you only a few weeks. i'll still be wearing my things come the end of summer - it feels good to know that!

all in all, it feels great to shop, doesn't it?

back in london (and back to the shops did i go!!)

I had been SO so good in feb and i didn't buy anything for myself (apart from food obviously). sooo as soon as i got back to london, my desire to go to the shops grew stronger by the minute, and so, today, off i went.

i hit zara first - two tops bought, both white - perfect for spring!

then h&m - another white top, a bit like a jumper only with short sleeves

and that was it! enough to satisfy my minor shopping need - DONE.

i've been on a battle front with my landlord - i had a leaking ceiling before i left up north (beg. of feb) and he 'fixed it' and when i got back on sunday last week my bed was SOAKING. so i called him and he didn't answer my calls - he called me the following day at 4pm saying 'oh, that DOES sound urgent'. hm..he got a plumber in for wendesday - very urgent indeed. so i wrote to my landlord (Jaz) that i will not pay him rent for this month until he completely resolves this situation which has been going on for a month, let alone he promised to paint my walls etc - it ain't gonna happen. so he's not getting his rent until he fixes upstairs' bathroom and makes it watertight so i don't have to worry about being bruatlly woken up in the night with water dripping on my face!

ugh. hate.

i'm trying to get some maths done and write my essay for monday - it will be a challenge, possibly the biggest i've had here at uni. really unsure about it :/ 4 days left to write it - i should manage.

mummy's in hospital and i'm praying she gets better and goes home soon.. maybe tomorrow..? they're not sure what was wrong - they're still doing tests on her, poor thing. wish i was there to help, i feel so useless being here and not being able to give my dad a hand :(

apart from that, i guess things are ok.

wish i could go home to poland right now...

xoxo
