On another politics night out and finishing off a month of hard work...

After a long struggle, and working harder than I have ever worked before, exam/assignment period is finally over. They're all taken/handed in (on time!) and now I can relax, have some nights out with my friends and just chill. I haven't been able to watch anything, read my kindle, my new books or even paint my nails properly I've been that busy! Though I do feel oddly good about myself after all the effort I've put in. Just waiting on results now!





I look terrible in these but that's OK because I had an amazing time! Fantastic night.

On my law exam and the aftermath...

So the blog title may seem a little dramatic but my aftermath I mean...


B bought me my little owl friend as a treat for working so hard for the exam. It went really well I'm pleased to say though I'm worried I didn't give enough examples of case law or statutes... But definitely got enough points in each question for a C at least. Hopefully a B. I know I am capable of getting an A but a) I don't want to jinx it and b) I taught myself it in at just under two weeks so we'll see.

Furthermore, I need these. They're my motivation to get a job when my other three uni assignments are handed in by the end of the month. Could never afford them with just a student loan. D:

On Harry Potter...


Found this amazing picture whilst surfing them webz last night. It seems like my whole childhood revolved around Harry Potter and with the conclusion of the Deathly Hallows Part 2 last July it felt like something was coming to a close. I still keep being Potterish alive though, by listening to Stephen Fry read the books to me every night as I'm going to sleep. Sad? I don't think so and it relaxes me and helps me get to sleep easier. Plus Stephen Fry is AMAZING at reading them. I can't get over how he makes each voice (and there's loads of them) different. I'm currently about a quarter of the way though The Goblet of Fire.

Anyway, this is my little ode to HP. Think of me what you will!

On law revision and uni assignments...

Really going for it like I never did in 6th Form. I think it was quite possibly the biggest regret I have. Time to make up for it now though!

AS Law exam on the 11th, Case Study draft due in on the 10th, European Politics Essay on the 16th and Political Concepts and Ideologies essay on the 24th. Busy month, the only thing getting me through is the thought of B's birthday and two of my best mate's 21st birthdays all within the space of a week next month.

Oh, and Richard's housewarming this weekend aha.



Sorry for the poor quality pictures, taken off my rubbish Blackberry 9300. Just realised that it doesn't actually cost me anything to upload pics to Facebook or Twitter so from now on people will just be bombarded with mundane things in their feeds like cups of tea etc.

On the Sons of Anarchy...

Can't get enough of the Sons! Have had to halt watching halfway through series three because I have exams/essays/case studies that need to be done and I actually can't stop watching it once I start. Though a little far-fetched sometimes there are some brilliant story-lines and the show touches on some issues that are to be expected in a series involving a biker gang, such as drug abuse, gang violence, arms dealing. However, it also attempts to explore issues closer to home than you might think, such as familial reconciliations, fatherhood, rape and most importantly of all friendship ties.

And if none of that grabs your attention, half of the reason I watch it is because of Charlie Hunnam! Beautiful man, and he's British too, albeit a Geordie haha.

On nights out in the Shire...

The venues in Cheshire are certainly not as brilliant as Manchester, as the music is not entirely to my taste but every time I come home for a big night out with all our home friends in Chester I have a brilliant time. This just emphasises the saying "it's not where you go, but who you go with."
