Drama, Drama!
I said this week was going to be eventful - I just didn't realise this meant today!!! Was happily on the phone to my entire family (being passed around to each of them) when my housemates start running around screaming and panicking outside my door. I go out of my room to find the kitchen FLOODED due to a broken boiler gushing out cold water!! DRAMA DRAMA! Was absolutely freezing! Not to mention that our bloomin' student house company don't have an emergency/weekend number so we were filling buckets up and tipping them outside, trying to desperately find a way to stop the water/get a plumber! After my housemate left a panicky voicemail on the Maintence guy's answerphone he turned up half hour later to pull apart our sink/cupboards to find the shut off valve. Thankfully!! Could you imagine if none of us were in and we'd come home to a swimming pool in our kitchen! We found this highly amusing - only because it's not our problem of course!! That will teach these student housing companies to fit their kitchens better in future!
Busy Week Ahead!
Wow I can't believe it's nearly the Easter holidays already! Only a week to go! (Thankfully) As always near the end of term, everyone is definitely ready to go home. Especially in our house. Tensions have risen through the roof, and I swear everyone is on their bloomin' time of the month...bearing in mind I not only live with two girls but three boys aswell....
Yesterday was lovely though (most likely because I was out of the house all day)! Despite the ridiculously early morning start for a Saturday me and the girls had a great time in Winchester on this tour of the city for one of our lessons where we have to write about the city for an American travel guide. It's ironic I said we had a great time because we weren't in the best of situations - the tour was boring, it was absolutely POURING down with rain and we'd been up since 9am...on a Saturday. But we got on with it, took down loads of notes, were soaked through, found a Starbucks and cheered up over Hot Chocolate and muffins (for them not me...two weeks til Lent is over!)
After heading back to Soton we dropped two of our friends off and picked up another two friends to head off to the cinema to see The Bounty Hunter (See the Film Review page to read my review!!). We also spent two and a half hours in Frankie and Bennys gorging on the most delicious meal I've had in a while!!! Was lovely!!
Back to reality today though, trying to get some of this work done....after writing on my blog of course! Footballs on therefore me working goes slightly out of the window (so loud) but I'm always complaining about noise as our walls are ridiculously thin so I'm procrastinating as usual. This week is thankfully going to go so fast as we have so much on! Two of my mates birthdays means I'm out Tues/Wed/Thurs, best friend from home is coming down on Wed and my sister and her mates are down on Thurs....going to be a full house this week!!!!

Style Society
Last night I found myself at an event called Style Society hosted by a third year fashion student with proceeds going to Oxfam. My friend Steph, the model I mentioned in my previous post, was walking in the fashion show, one of the many parts the night was made up of.
Walking into Orange Rooms was like walking into another world. A world full of fashion students who were unbelievably skinny it made you think you were fat. Utterly Ridiculous. And they all had "style" apparently - but what is "style" nowadays!?! Curtain harem pants? Lace leotard and trakkies? Hmmm.....
The music on the other hand was great! Starting off with an acoustic set from Aaron Soul covering songs like Sex on Fire and Bump 'n' Grind. The atmosphere was really chilled out, with orange disco balls providing the lighting. Next was the fashion show. Hmm no emphasis on "show" however! It lasted about 10 seconds!! Bit disappointing but Steph looked amazing as always, wearing a floral dress paired with grey heart tights and peach heels. The models were scattered about the club standing on blocks and one by one had to walk up to the stage.
The auction was next which we found a bit funny seeing as we were all students!! But never the less it was for charity and people sure dug deep in their pockets!! One girl spent 100 on a two-hour tattoo session! Wow I wish I had money like that to spend! Following another 10 second fashion show was the acoustic set from Le Martells which was clearly the highlight of the evening!!

The sun has got its hat on!
Helloooooo!!
It's been a while but guess what - my laptop is finally sorted again!!!
And its sunny!!! Well not right now...but yay I was actually hot on the walk to university this morning!! I hate being too cold so its nice to see some sun once in a while! However what I don't understand is how some people think that a little bit of sun equals shorts!!! Its not THAT hot come on! We are in Southampton remember!!! All that cold sea air - it's MARCH for crying out loud!!
I was sat in the park on Wednesday waiting for my friend Steph to come along dressed in my usual pink coat, scarf and boots desperately clutching my mocha to keep me warm and a boy walked past wearing shorts, a t-shirt AND FLIPFLOPS.....flipflops!!! It's March!! How many more times do people need to be reminded!!!! Dear me!
Anyway rant over!
Todays has been an eventful photography day!! Forgot to take my orange book into uni so as to borrow a camera so poor James had to come and bring it to me bless him! Finally got out a Canon 400D and picked Steph aka my model up on the way home! We transformed my (disgustingly dirty/messy) student lounge into a studio with James being light boy haha and Steph modelling as a drunk, passed out Snow White! Was hilarious! Photos have turned out good though - need to download them so I can put some on here!!
Now I'm watching Americas Next Top Model - I love this programme - it's on its 13 series and I've watched every one of them bar last years when I was stuck in halls with no TV and a crappy internet link!
P.S. Sorry for all the rearranging of this blog! It's still a work in progress and I'm trying to make it as good as possible of course!!

Apologies
As typical as anything goes, the minute I create a blog my computer decides it has had enough of me and crashes. Not just once but hundreds of times, every five minutes. Fab. So unfortunately my blog has been neglected and will continue to be until I have my computer back from my techno-expert dad. For this apology post I've managed to steal a couple of minutes on my friends computer - which has become a regular occurence this week!!! It just shows how much I personally need the internet. And while we're all facebook obsessed it is not facebook that I'm missing. I miss how easy it is to use google to answer a question or find out opening times of my gym or see whats on TV tonight (yes that is how cool my life is atm). We take the internet for granted and I know I'm not the only one who can hands down say I can't live without it! I feel so disconnected from the world! Which unfortunately brings me to the point where I'm going to have to sign off from here as this keyboard I'm using is UNBELIEVABLY annoying (not the usual ... its made by hyunju...says it all really). Hopefully be back soon!!!!
