The start of November.

Life is getting pretty hectic. My boyfriend turned up randomly on my doorstep and gave me these flowers, because I was starting to find things tough. I think what he did was incredible. The thought that went into it shows how much he cares, and he was bang on with the flowers. Lilies are my favourite, and these pink ones are gorgeous. He knows me inside out. They make my room smell and look lovely!

My collection of books is forever expanding, because I have to buy a few books a week due to my course. I love being able to display what I've read, it shows me what I've achieved. There's a lot of book I want to read, but I don't have time because of uni. My list is forever growing though. I've recently been given an assignment in creative writing. I have 2,000 words, and can write whatever I want. I've got a few ideas in mind, but I think it's a really hard task because it's so broad. I guess I'll just have to see where a brainstorm takes me. Hopefully, one day my own book will be on the shelf.

 

The end of October.

It was Halloween last night, but it ended up being a complete fail. We didn't manage to get into the club, so we ended up walking home in the rain. Fun times. Before these events, we had a few people round for a Halloween themed party. We had Vodka jelly (which was gross but they looked good), cupcakes and pumpkins. I was incredibly predictable and went as a cat for the second year running, whilst Tom decided that a zombie would be the best option. Shame we made the effort for nothing! The best part of the night was dressing up. I especially enjoyed doing my nails, which were glittery and black. I will definitely be doing this again, because I think it looks pretty cool.

In a way I'm glad that Halloween is over, because that means the next big event is Christmas. It's such a good time of the year. I love seeing all the lights in the trees and having to wrap up warm because it's freezing outside. Of course I love receiving presents, but buying them is the most stressful thing. I don't have a clue what to get for anyone! However, the thing I'm looking forward to even more than Christmas is seeing my friends again. I can't wait to have everyone back together, and lots of fun times together.

Speaking of friends, I was looking through my leavers book the other day and found this:

Obviously, my best friend Annie had the time of her life drawing this. We both looking stunning, don't you think? She's an artist for sure. Anyway, this drawing is about three and a half years old now. I was worried when we left school that we'd become distant and grow apart. It's great to say that a few a levels and half a degree later, she's still my best friend and I've known her for 8 years. :) Some things don't change, even if another year has flown by.
