i absolutely loved this weeks glee...the songs were so damn good!! absolutely stunning renditions of some true classics, and the whole theme of 'prom' me like-y :) go watch if you haven't yet!
ok guys, i'm on twitter and have been for a ridiculous amount of time so get your butt on the move and get yourself over there (@omasia) start tweeting twitteristas!
also, tomorrow (or rather today) i'm going on a trip with my class and i have the nicest group to work with - so happy :) i really love the kids i'm working with - such a joy! i think i love this whole teaching job ;)
i can't sleep.
i slept too much in the afternoon.
ah well...
i love Lewis. just thought i'd say that out loud. ha. i wonder if he'll ever read this (even if it is in 10 years time...)

drunkenness on a friday night
never thought i'd get so drunk after school on 3 cocktails. jeez. horrible horrible stuff!! i had to go to bed when i got home to sober up! tragic.
did my planning today with my teacher breathing down my neck - so so stressful :/ but it's done. i have so much to do for next week! better start planning my sessions tomorrow!
boring-weekend-ahead alert.

tired.
school is really tiring me out. i even napped today, straight after school from about 7-11. how awesome is that. now i'm awake and i can finish off my planning for tomorrow. worse thing is, i have to spend tomorrow morning planning the whole of next week which i've never done before and i will have my teacher breathing down my neck overlooking my planning skills. how stressful. not looking forward to it at all.
i will really try and get my session planning done this weekend so i can chill out a bit more during the week. i know it's such a crap way of spending my weekend, but i'd rather that than have to do all of it all week.
i can't wait to go up north for half-term.

letting off some bloody steam...
i guess being annoyed is what you get when you live in shared accommodation. i know i'd be a complete dunce if i started taking my bread and jam into my room. but leaving it out in the kitchen, on my shelf, obviously does not keep away other people's hands. to the point - i have no bread for tomorrow's lunch. someone has been helping themselves to my bread. i'm peed off. it's annoying that i now have to buy lunch tomorrow in a silly corner shop (which tastes naff) but what can you do apart from slamming the fridge door and whacking plates about and cursing under my nose. that's me - just not bloody bold enough to tell someone that i'm pissed off because they've taken my food. is it just me, or is it really normal for people who have known each other for a few months to just 'help themselves' to anything in the kitchen, even when they know i am a bit anal about my things. i don't like people thinking 'what's mine is yours'.
i guess i'll get over it by tomorrow evening.
i guess i'll just put up with it, seeing that i won't be here and won't have to deal with these things after mid-july.
it's just that i'm working so frigging hard, i have hardly any time to do much and i just like things to GO MY WAY.
am i overreacting? dramatizing the whole situation? i'm not sure anymore.
on a brighter note: i had a WONDERFUL day today! brilliant lessons (maths and science) got my marking done and planning all up to date (still!) i'm so impressed with myself - i'm doing ok with all this work. yes, it's time-consuming and i get tired, but i'm giving it my all. and it seems to be paying off!
tomorrow, however, i KNOW i will have a crappy PE session and prob an even worse literacy lesson (poetry.....with year 1. imagine that :/...)
fingers crossed i get through tomorrow.
and that i get over my food snatchers.

sunday shopper
after working hard all day on saturday making resources for my maths sessions this week, i decided to treat myself today. what better way than with a bit of retail therapy!
i was intending on leaving at 11 to be at the shops for 12..well, knowing me, i made it for a disappointing 2pm.. and i headed to the MAC store on church street and i bought my first ever product - the studio finish concealer! yay! i haven't used it yet, however i did test it out in the store and it cover my blemish on my hand so i think i'll be pretty satisfied with this product, definitely happy that i got this. i then strolled over to h&m and exchanged a pair of shorts that i had bought a few weeks ago..i had to get a size 14 ;) now now, i haven't gotten 'bigger' i just prefer my shorts to be a bit looser on me. i also grabbed a lovely little beach dress (very see-through) which will come in handy when i go on my holiday to greece (a girl can dream, right?). lastly, i snatched up a cute little skirt that tpuches my knees (very important when working as a teacher) it's striped with yellow, red and blue horizontal stripes. so pretty!
i went to boots and nearly got Cliniques' All About Eyes cream. however, i changed my mind just in time! £21 seemed a little overpriced. instead i headed towards the skincare section and picked up the garnier tinted roll-on for under the eyes and a day eye cream (2 for £12 - bargain!) and no, i didn't get origins vitazing either.. i still have 3/4 left of my Clinique moisturiser, so i'm totally ok with that!
i have so much work for this week!!! never thought teaching was so stressful and time consuming :( but it's all worth it in the end. two more weeks till half-term, two more weeks till half-term....

limbo much?
i definitely feel like i've been in limbo since easter really, spending all my time going over school stuff, mainly planning and making resources for the week..every day i come back tired and sleepy, but i have to plan plan plan and make resources all the time so my teaching is better than ever ;)
last week, i must admit, was pretty rough. it started on wednesday at noon straight after my supervising tutor from uni observed my maths lesson - i got so nauseous! i felt horrendous! twice during the rest of the afternoon i felt like i was going to barf all over. but, luckily, i didn't! i'm not sure if any of you are aware that something like this exists but i am terrified of getting sick (also known as emetophobia). this continued on thursday too.. i was shaking and feeling hot and dizzy, my stomach was killing me. i was starting to freak out somewhat. and i decided to not eat proper food just toast, totally cleanse my system. i felt great on friday, hardly any pain. today, i felt a bit weird in the morning but that may have been due to the lack of energy (i may have been feeling a bit hungry at this point). i had toast this morning (with jam, i couldn't resist!) and felt ok, so i had 2 slices of toast with jam for lunch and dinner ;)! i'm feeling good. hopefully, i'll start eating more normal foods tomorrow...and my stomach won't go mental on me again....
i'm going shopping tomorrow. i NEED a moisturiser, so i'm getting Origins Vitazing. i also need a concealer - so i'm going for MAC's Studio Finish concealer. and the last thing on my list is an eye cream - Clinique's All About Eyes is my choice. a splurge i know. my student pocket WILL feel this shopping spree. but these are things that i will NOT regret buying. and they will last me quite some time.
hope you're all good xoxo
p.s. i'm dying to get chanel matt lumiere foundation :( maybe someday.......

spoiling myself rotten
i had a file check today so i was at uni and not school (yay for another 3 day week!!) but it's so hard getting back into the swing of things (is working)., i;ve become so lazy with all this free time..ever since we went on easter break it feels like it's been constantly holidays. now it's all coming to an end..
after my (successful) file check, i had to take a ride to west brompton to get a prescription. i found out from the very kind and chatty receptionist that there are now squatters in the pub ;) how nice! i made my way to kensington and stopped over at a starbucks...and i had a rall mocha frappucino WITH cream! wow, it's so delicious! i'm terrible..i should really stay away from starbucks, i mean, i shouldn't even be drinking coffee. which is why, as of tomorrow, i will drink water instead of coffee. i will allow myself to have one coffee a day at school but other than that, i'm saying "NO" to coffee.
i spent just over £13 on two books that i can read to my kids at year 1. insane. i originally picked up three but when i got to the counter and the lady said £22..i literally told her "i'm sorry, i can't do that, i have to put one away..". i had also asked her if they do student discounts, to which i got a negative reply, so i HAD to let go of one book. it's so annoying. things are so expensive here and i'm not getting any money into my account! it would be nice to have a job. i miss having 'pay day'.
i should be sleeping by now as i have an early start tomorrow... but i'm not feeling so great. lewis would laugh and say 'when are you well?!' it's true, my health has been dramatically declining over the past year, ever time i've been to his, i've ALWAYS been ill. i was considering buying seven seas cod liver oil today - i absolutely HATE the stuff but i know it would be good for me...i just couldn't yet make myself get it.. i'm not ready! but i need to start doing something, i can't be constantly ill.. it's no fun, and the school won't find it fun either if i start being ill all the time, no school will like it... as of tomorrow, i need to start taking some sort of supplements. i need to get better, i need to be healthy.
hope everyone is well..

loooooooooooong weekend...
as everyone on the planet knows, friday in the uk was a day off (thanks to will and kate! - thanking you!). what a wonderful day it was..i spent it watching the coverage on my laptop from 9am. everything was so beautiful. what a wonderful dress had on, i just loved it. absolutely stunning. will looked rather handsome too if i may say so myself! so i spent the day literally 'oohing' and 'ahhing' over kate and will's wedding. what a fairytale.
i want to be a princess too!!
i did manage to go shopping on friday too. i had to. unfortunately. i have no appropriate clothes for the school i'm at now, so called 'smart casual' but more on the smart side, so it's totally smart. so off to h&m i went. i'm lacking in the money department hence h&m and not zara or topshop :( on saturday i went to high street ken, to further my shopping experience at h&m. i wondered around the streets and reminisced about the past. helped myself to a starbucks mocha frappucino and made my way back home.
today i intended on going to westminster abbey and enjoy the evensong mass they had at 3pm but when i got there, the 2 mile long queue to get inside made me turn back and head for camden instead! i browsed the shops of camden trying to find some inspiration for a bday present (it's lewis' 27th on sat..) but to no avail. still trying to figure out what to get him. i wonder if i'll be able to go to his on saturday at all what with all the work i have for school...
tomorrow, again, it's a day off 'bank holiday monday' and i have no idea what to do with myself! i might head out to town again and go to a park and drink some pimms? no one seems to be willing to go with me which is a shame but i guess everyone else is busy. so i'll go on my own.
