This is the view from my level 3 studio space. I love it! I have a corner spot with a plug and I'm sat with Charlie, Laura and Sinead :D Its weird tho think this might be the last time I have an official studio space for a long time...

Happy Birthday Aaron! For his birthday Aaron hired out a posh venue and we played pool and drank discount cocktails all night. It was a really fun night, even though I didn't really mingle and stuck to hanging out with Adam, Amy and Courtney. We all got Aaron's dad to buy us shots and and even though Amy and Courtney had to leave early-ish because they had work early the next day me and Adam stayed out a bit longer, considered going out to bars and then walked home.

Fruity at the union, not usually my scene but Courtney was visiting and im always a little bit surprised at how much I enjoy myself. Its gross and loud and full and hot and cheap but its something every Uni-of student must attend at least once in the University career. I hate to like it but its just so Leeds xD

The view from my bedroom window looking particularly lovely.

In fisrt semester of last year I went to trampolining almost every week. It is such a good stress relief! I would like to keep going but now that Amy has lest uni and is no longer a coach there and with dissertation and degree show looming I don't think I can commit to it.

The last time I spoke to Jess she told me she was going down to Brighton to visit Emma and that I was welcome to join her. At first I was unsure, I was having a shit time at this point and didn't really feel up for it, but after mentioning it to mum, she said I should absolutely go. With mums encouragement I decided to book the journey, a train to Kings cross, catch the tube to Victoria Station where I would meet Emma and Jess (who was taking the Mega Bus). Mum mailed me an Oyster card for the underground and offered to pay for my train tickets as part of my birthday present, I was very grateful. 

The moment I got to London I knew I had made the right decision! I had booked my train so I could arrive a bit early and proceeded to go to the British Library and the Wellcome collection. I then caught the tube to Victoria station and met up with the girls. It was so cool to hang out just the three of us again, just like old times; the tripod :) 

We wandered across the city on foot, made our was to Buckingham place and grabbed a drink in the park where we could continue to chat and catch up. We must have wandered around for hours! After a few more hours of wandering around, going to random places and spending a good 45min in Hamleys, we went to itsu (a kinda lunch-time sushi place) where we waited until their after 8 deal in which all of their pre-packaged stuff was half price. We feasted on delicious food all for under a fiver before heading back to the train station, traveled to Brighton, caught the bus to Emma's house and stayed up until 5 in the morning listening to reggae, drinking and talking, joking and bitching. I kinda felt like I was in high school again: young and carefree.Im so glad I went!

Before leaving brighton I wanted to go on the beach and see the famous pier. It was a nice day for it but I feel sorry for anyone who thinks this is a beach. Its not. beaches have sand. There was this little kid making piles of rocks and as I looked at him all I could think is how much more fun he would have at one of the beaches in the North East where he could actually build a sand castle! haha oh well, cant miss what you never had I suppose! 

It was a nice last day with Emma and Jess. Emma said goodbye to is at Brighton station and me and Jess traveled to London whew, on arrival, we found a cafe between Victoria station (where I would catch the underground to Kings Cross) and Jess' Mega Bus pick up point. We had a coffee and then parted ways. The weekend had gone without a hitch and I was surprised at myself for how accustomed I have become at traveling alone. As I attempted to get my readings done for the next day I had a complete breakdown on the train and ended up calling mum in the train toilets in tears. That was the day she told me I needed ot go to the doctors about my mental health the next day. Which I did.

After Uni, Sinead invited myself, Charlie and Laura to hers for tea. We ate, we drank and all in all had a lovely night! Laura left really early which was a bummer but the banta was good! Sinead had mentioned to me that her mate was having a party that we were all invited to. Seeing as we were already a little beyond tipsy, I joined Sinead and Nathan to the party.

I would not be lying if I said that Sinead really downplayed the scale of this party. The way it was described to me was  I was imaging a standard house party, nothing special. No, this was a 'Skins Party'. All the bulbs in the house has been replaces with red bulbs, the basement had been completely transformed into a rave, there was a DJ and light show and the walls were covered in patterns painted in neon paint. We ended up partying for until the early hours and I think I stole some poor guys alcohol after I either drank all of mine or mine got nicked ... I cant really remember the details haha.. xD

Standard studio selfie one night when the studios were open late and I was the only one left in there. I blasted Streetlight Manifesto's The Hands That Thieve album and ran around the studios photographic my work.

What the club looked like....

Makeup still looked good at the end of the night: Success!

Birthday Night Out

This Halloween was defiantly a success! I went to the Union's event with Amy Smith and Adam, which played literally the best and most perfect music to celebrate my birthday! I spent the night singing my heart out to 90s and 00s anthems, all the music which has been made during my 20 years of life :D While we were standing in the queue, midnight hit and Adam, Amy and a few other people next to us sang me happy birthday the moment I turned 21. It was very cute and probably extremely annoying for anyone nearby but I didn't care! The whole night went smoothly, apart for a couple of hour in which we lost Adam, but we found him again before the night was over. The only person enjoying the music more than me was Amy, who every time a new song she like came on (so, every time a new song came on) would look me dead in the face and say something along the lines of  'OH MY GOD ROSIE KILL ME', 'OMG THIS SONG! STAB ME IN THE FACE' or 'HOLY SHIT BURY ME ALIVE' hahaha she so dramatic I LOVE IT :P This was one of those rare night were everything is cool and there inst really anything to worry about and everyone is just there to have a good time. I didn't really even drink that much because I was too busy dancing and singing. We finally went to bed at about 6 in the morning after walking home and chilling together in the kitchen for a bit :) What an amazing way to bring in my 21st year of life x
