Off to Paris

Hey Lovelies,

Hope you’re all good and not finding your uni work too hard, this second year in Psychology has been totally different from the first in a lot of ways, mainly because we have much more work, which means me and my friends on the course, Jack and Amy, have been pulling a lot of late nighters to try and get it all done. If I was going to give you any advice it would be to work with your friends on assignments and revision etc. Obviously by that I don’t mean do the exact same thing as that would be plagiarising to the max, but last year we found we definitely did a lot better because we had helped each other out.

Amy is the queen of Statistics, Jack is amazing at Counselling and I just rely on them to get me through it, JUST KIDDING, I tend to be good at the writing side of things, I know you wouldn’t have thought so reading my blogs ha-ha! My point is together we believe ‘we could take over the world’, now this may be a bit extreme, but we could certainly help each other to get out degree J so it is something I would defiantly recommend.

WARNING:



^^^^Me, Amy & Jack at Kelly Clarkson on Saturday ^^^^

Next Monday, I’m off to Paris for 4 days and literally cannot wait I’m so excited as I’ve only ever been there once for like 2 hours so this will be amazing. I’m going with Mumma Rumbles for a girly week, so will be really nice. It will put my GCSE French to the test; the problem is I can say quite a bit in French but I do it in my dodgy Dartford/London accent, so it doesn’t sound very fluent haha.

I will tell you all about it when I’m back speak to you soon lovelies, have a good week.

Xoxo

Hey Lovelies,

Hope your all doing well J , unfortunately I’ve been a very poorly girl this week, at first we just thought it was just the bug that’s going around, but I went for lots of tests and it turns out it was a tropical virus I picked up last year in Florida ?? FLORIDA -- of all places, when you hear about tropical viruses you assume people get them in the Amazon or something!! Anyways apparently it can last on and off for two years, yay :/ but I am feeling a little bit better now, so I’m sure I will be back to my usual sparky self in no time !!

Ooo also I went on an adventure the other day, it will seem lame to you guys but I was mesmerised I looked like a tourist, where was my big adventure too?? The Greenwich campus. Now whoever studies / stays there you may not realise this but you are so lucky, I mean I love Avery Hill but Greenwich was amazing, it was my first time there. I literally wandered round with wide eyes gaping and taking photos of everything, it’s stunning. But I did look like those tourists you see there. 

Ok so you may call me a geek, which is fine because I am well aware that I am one and I kind of embrace it now,  but at one stage I felt like I was in FAME the musical, I walked past the music classes and there was different music and singing in each one as I walked by. I half expected to be standing there and a flash mob to come out and start dancing on the green in front of me. Needless to say I’m a lover of music and I was in heaven.

I have been made a student ambassador for the University with the Education Liaison Unit, and I absolutely love representing our university, I am really glad I chose to come here. Not only does it have beautiful campuses and top notch staff it also has the best students over any university (obviously I’m biased but it is true) J

Right Guys that’s all from me today, hope you are all good, if you do fancy keeping updated with my blog posts feel free to subscribe, I’d love it if you did.

Speak Soon

Macmillan at UoG

Hey Guys

So I’m baaack !! I hope all of you new fresher’s have had an amazing time settling into the university, I got to meet a few of you and you all seem to be doing really well. Fresher’s week has been sooooo good , I realise technically the events were for Fresher’s but I thought why not join in ?? So there I was at the Fresher’s fair going round all the tables collecting all the freebies I could possibly find, I realise I may have looked as a scavenger but they were FREE who wouldn’t right??

On the same day at Fresher’s Avery Hill I was also selling cakes with my colleagues for Macmillan Cancer Support, so if you had a blonde curly haired girl come up to you asking (forcing) you to buy a cake that would have been me ;). I was also having to blow up balloons and decorate the campus for it, I blew up so many balloons I am actually surprised I still have air left in my lungs, honestly I thought I would pass out. So me and my fellow Enquiry Unit assistant member Binal basically decided not many people were noticing we were selling cakes at first, so in order to promote ourselves we hijacked a table in the Dome and started selling them there, we even stole their green balloons someone eventually discovered we weren’t technically supposed to be there so we got our table taken away from us, but hey we made some extra money for the charity, so it’s all good.

 I hope you will also be happy to hear I was successful in staying on with the Enquiry Unit Assistant, Boooyaaaah !!,  so I now have a permanent job here, which I am so happy about because I love the team I work with, and of course getting to help you guys out with any queries you may have J

My second year started up again on Monday, I honestly sat in the lecture thinking my head was going to explode, honestly I think over the summer I forgot what numbers were and also how to write, haha. But I am getting there I think it’s taking my brain some time to actually kick into gear though, I can tell this year is going to be a toughie though (der der dern), I will keep you all updated on how I get on though. But on the plus side I am so happy to be back, and reunited with my best friends Jack and Amy, I think together we may just be able to get through this!

I hope you guys are enjoying the 2012/2013 year so far, I know I certainly am, I know sometimes it can be over whelming but trust me we can get through this together.

Speak to you soon lovelies,

XOXO

First Ever Blog :)

Hey everyone, so this is my first ever blog and I am mega excited about it, hopefully it will be the first of many, so I hope you enjoy them! Technology and I have never really got on but I’m sure I will be able to manage this, how hard can it be haha, I will keep you posted about how I get on !!

The summer of 2012 is officially coming to a close L, which I’m sure like me many of you are heartbroken about, mainly because we saw hardly any sunshine. However, I am super excited to be going back to do my second year of Psychology with Counselling, I have really missed the university these past few months and cannot wait to go back and see my best buds here, Amy & Jack. Also I get to meet lots of the lovely new fresher’s, so it will be fab getting to know you guys and I am planning to join in with all the fresher activities ( I know technically that will be cheating as I’m not a fresher myself, but still you guys won’t mind right ??)

This summer has been amazing, and of course as all of you know (unless you have been hiding under a rock over the summer) London got to hold the Olympic Games. Now I have to admit something I was starting to get a bit bored of all the build-up, literally I honestly believed I wouldn’t care or support it at all (so un-patriarchal :S ). Well things couldn’t have been more different, unfortunately my family didn’t get tickets in the end, but right from the opening ceremony and seeing Mr Bean I was hooked. I became the biggest Olympic fan you have ever seen. My favourite events to watch were definitely the swimming and the diving; I loved every second of it, so much so I burst into tears when the flag was handed to Brazil (lame, I know).

I’ve been working as a Clearing Assistant at the university over the summer, and on Friday we held our very own Olympic competition, which was amazing and I was so happy to get to re-live the Olympic experience again haha. Each team had to pick a theme related to the Olympics and dressed up, performed and decorated their bay, in relation to it. Our team decided to go as British athletes and I dressed up as a gymnast, which believe it or not I used to be, unfortunately I can’t even do a handstand anymore. Team 1 didn’t win but it was a hilarious day and all the teams did an amazing job J

So Guys that was my first blog, hope you enjoyed and I’ll be back to talk to you really soon,

Laura
