Ouch ouch, but at least Steven’s cute!

My throat is slowly getting better, those Penicillin are doing their work. Really can’t wait to be done with them tho, and go back to normal. Today it’s been a week since I last kissed Steven, and I can really feel how frustrating it is being so close to him and not being able to kiss him. Soon tho, soon, when this tonsillitis breath has gone and I can actually swallow without any pain at all. It’s not so painful anymore tho, the tonsillitis… BUT… On the other side of the mouth a wisdom tooth has decided to be a royal pain in the butt. Give me a break!!!

I just had to take this picture when I was at Steven’s today, look how cute he was as a kid!! Good some things never change ;)

Everyone say "Awwww"

I really want to get my Tuesday module sorted tomorrow, if not done (HAHA), then at least not far from (haha). You can always dream I guess. It would feel so great tho, if I got a fair bit done. *Fingers crossed* After all, it’s less than 3 weeks till we go home for Christmas!!!!!!!! *PANIC*

Another photo shoot

This time at our place, which is a good thing, seeing as I’m still quite sick. On Wednesday Steven took me to see a doctor (or a nurse in this case), who confirmed I have tonsillitis. Again. This is the third time this year. Apparently my tonsil was more swollen up than any she had ever seen before, and now I’m on a 10 days penicillin cure. I really don’t have time to be sick, but these last few days I just haven’t been capable of doing any uni work at all. If you are that sick, I guess taking a few days completely off to rest is allowed, even tho the time says no. Also, being this sick has meant no kisses from Steven since Sunday, which is totally unbearable! Ah well, just have to smoosh his lips off when I get well. He’s been great tho, come to see me both yesterday and today, cheering up his sick little princess.

He was btw also the wonderful model for today’s shoot, so everyone give it out to him for a great performance. The images I took today is to be used in a book I’m making for one of my lectures. Haven’t I got a wonderful boyfriend? ^^

He's awesome

So handsome in his suit

It doesn’t really seem like doing uni work when just taking pictures, especially of Steven, because I really enjoy it. But nonetheless, it is uni work, so I guess I should be pleased with that today, being all poorly. Thing is, tomorrow I know I need to do a lot, matter is will I? Hopefully I feel up to going to the library, but if I don’t I’m not gonna force myself there just to be there, cause that wouldn’t motivate me to do much anyway, just sitting there being miserable. But I will try, bloody try, to at least use the resources I’ve got at home to at least do some.

 

And remember;
One  a day keeps the doctor away.

Swallowing kills

The weekend was good, really enjoyed spending time with Steven and the rest. Tho Friday I did wake up with a slight bad throat, that has just gotten worse and worse during the last days, now in a barely bearable state. Thank god for painkillers.

Even feeling dead yesterday, I had to get out of bed early and over to the studio, as it was time for me and Magda to do some photo shoots. Went alright tho, even if I felt like no where near pretty enough to have pictures of meself taken, I just had to suck it up and do it. After all, time is closing up on us.

Off I go!

For the weekend anyway. After my lecture today, I will get on the bus that will take me to my handsome boyfriend, where I will spend the night. Tomorrow me, Steven and his brother Matt are going up to Nottingham to visit their sister Nat, should be fun. Never been to Nottingham before, and I’m just happy cause that means I got to spend loads of time with some awesome people. With my boyfriend ♥

People change, get over it.

It annoys me when people keep telling me I have changed after I moved to England. Not because it’s not true, but because they make it sound like it’s such a horrible thing. The thing is, people do change over a period of time. Even if I had stayed at home I still wouldn’t have been the same person today as I was 5 years ago. That’s just a part of life. If people feel they grow apart, it can’t be blamed on just the one, they are all changing, some in a bigger scale than the other, but still changing.

Every little thing that happens in our lives, helps molding us into the person we become. Every little thing with a slightest bit of importance changes us. Over time, all these little things put together, might stand for a greater transformation. It could be a negative change as well as a positive change, depending on what those little things are. If you have experienced one bad thing after the other, pressing you down, you could be changed into a more insecure and afraid human being, who tries to hide away from reality.

That is why it annoys me to such a degree when people “complain” about me changing. My experience here in England, have been filled with amazing experiences, meeting a bunch of new and exciting people and facing challenges, that I’ve overcome. This have made me a much stronger and more confident person than what I used to be. I was rather shy when around people I didn’t know all that much, I spent most of my days at home in my room alone, and I thought I was the ugly duckling among my friends.

So how can people think it’s a bad thing I have gone from miserable to actually enjoy being myself?
Now, that is just selfish.

Early productive morning

Today I got up way too early for my likings, seeing as I was meeting up with Magda at ASDA around a quarter to nine. There we got some props for the test shoot we had booked a studio for. We don’t get up that early for nothing you know. Seeing as the technician guy Dan seemed to be on holiday or better, still in his warm, cosy bed, me and Madzzz had to pretty much figure out everything ourselves. That shouldn’t be a problem for two second year photography students you might think, but neither me nor the polish had done much studio work without help of teachers or cleverer class mates before. Fear not, we managed pretty well I think, and is rather excited about the actual shoot on Monday.

Baloo really wanted that cake!

Hi guys, I know I have been a terrible little blogger lately, not updating my blog all that often anymore. I love my blog and my blog readers, so I will try my bestest to be better in the future, I will not let my blog die that’s for sure.

Christmas is coming up too fast for some to cope with, but we can’t slow down time, and therefor just having to cope with it. Like some of you already have done, I myself will also add a nice little wish list for Christmas. I think it’s hard tho, when people ask me what I want for Christmas, because honestly I’ve never been happier and I have got all I could ever really wish for. But I’ll give it a go anyway.

I like clothes.

Weekend

Friday night we met up with Coral at ASDA, buying some food and drinks before heading back to our casa, where we made the food and drank the drinks. This was happening while Love Actually was showing on the big screen in our living room (A big black box of a telly, where the screen is too small for our sky channels). I absolutely love Love Actually, it’s such a lovely movie. Really gets the Christmas spirit going, it’s only bloody 6 weeks left of this semester!! This blog won’t be about stress tho, as you so nicely can read about that on Ida’s blog. After too much pasta, a bottle of cider and the movie ending, just as cutely as always, the superstars came out to play as we turned on the Singstar.

Saturday started with a walk into town with Ida, where we went to the tanning studio, we’re getting back to our snow-white beings, so we had to take action. Then I had a hairdressers appointment, my roots had to be dealt with and that now. After a good couple of hours, loads of head massaging (Mmmmmm) and with roots matching the rest of my hair, I was done and £70 poorer. I then had a nice shower (This being back home if you wondered) and got all dolled up looking presentable for when my boyfriend would come. And when he did, I kissed him. You see, Saturday the 7th of November was me and Stevens 1 month anniversary, so he was staying over at mines. We first watched the Wolves game on my Mac, while getting awesome sound effects from outside (We live close to the stadium, it’s easy to hear when a match is on). ASDA up next, where we bought some food and drinks. This resembling last night right, only add more drinks to the basket. We watched a bit of X Factor while cooking, Steven who so doesn’t care about X Factor at all, got very into it, shouting at the TV, especially when John and Edward was on. And I quote “THAT’S NOT SINGING, IT’S BLOODY TALKING AND GAAH!” It was fun. When the food was ready and X Factor done, we put on twilight, and my dear boyfriend actually seemed to enjoy the film. I got more and more giggly, after all I did have not one, but TWO bottles of Kopparberg. After the film we went upstairs to my room to let’s say, call it a night.

Sunday me and Steven watched Whose Line Is It Anyway (If you haven’t seen it, check it out! This one is brilliant Clicky) on my Mac, still sat on my bed, laughing our butts off. His dad picked us up, and we went over to his place where we played some xbox, boxing. I did rather good I reckon, didn’t win, but hey, I did okay! Then we had a lovely Sunday tea, his mum starting to learn the right amount of food to put on my plate now, and I actually managed to eat up. She found it very funny showing me some baby pictures of Steven, he was soooooooo cute! Some things never change. Me and Steven then played some Wii sport, Steven doing very well in Bowling, me doing slightly better. First game; Steven 177 points, me 178. And I’m the one with least practice! He turned on the Baseball instead, cause I sucked the last time we played that, but who managed to get a home run? Yes, I won that game as well. As a slight cheering up, Steven realised his top score on bowling was 179, which means I hadn’t beat him, so then it was okay to play bowling again. Me winning that round as well… With 184 points. Thank god he’s not as bad a looser as I am, he swallowed his pride and kissed me and said “Well done”. He will now be home playing and practicing his bowling everyday haha.

I really should get out of bed and over to the library now, loads of uniwork to be done, I hope I can concentrate on it!

Weekend….again!

Holy crap and I do excuse my language, it is bloody Friday again!! Time flies by sooooo fast I’m not sure I’m keeping up with it. Since I’m an absolute horrible blogger nowadays, I guess I should sum up my week. Monday me and Steven had our first date, this being a trip to the cinema in Dudley, where we watched an animation film by Tim Burton called 9. Was a nice film that was, yes we did watch it, that is what you go to the cinema for. After the film we took the bus back to his place where his mum made us tea.

Tuesday was alright at uni, my teacher asked me something, and even tho I totally freaked out over the fact I had to say something in class, took me about half a minute to speak, I did spit out some words with a smaller sense of intelligence in the end. Maybe me rather proud. Then I headed over to the library to read a god-dammed book I don’t understand, giving up on that task and being sent home by a concerned boyfriend over MSN, to get something to eat. Apparently cookies aren’t good enough to last you a full day. Then I spent the rest of the day being rather moody and soppy, cause I didn’t understand the book, and the thought of presentations closing in stressing me out. Took that out on my poor boyfriend, we had a little honest convo, still over MSN, then he came over to mine to stay the night. Waking up in his arms are seriously the best thing I know.

Wednesday me and Steven had to get up early, because his morning lecture were at 10. We were late… We met up with him mummy at her work, before heading over to Yates’s for breakfast. After that it was back to uni, where my clever boy had a bit of a breakthrough making my website, you should have seen the joy on his face. So adorable words can’t even describe it. Around 3 I had a doctors appointment, went alright then me and Ida headed into town where we ended up in Pizza Hut for tea. Once again back to the library after that, where I was sat resizing images while waiting for Steven to come back after his tea. When he did we had a little kissy before he went off to his lecture, when he came back again we had another little kissy before he had to go, quiznight at the pub with his mates. When I got back home around 9ish in the evening I surprised Ida with a card and a little pressie, and we ate some nice cheesecake.

Yesterday I met up with Magda in the library to do some epic uniwork (yeah right), rather farmville and waving to Steven on Skype that is. Two days in a row at Pizza Hut, cause Magda decided that we were going there for lunch, and when Magda says so, that’s the way it is hehe. We shared a cider, enough to get the two of us tipsy, so we were pretty much giggling throughout the lecture we had. Then another afternoon spent at the library, with my boyfriend on Skype it’s not so bad. Him being very nice making my website all pretty. Finally home me and Ida ordered Chinese and watch a film with Leida, one of our housemates.

Today I got a lecture at 2, should be an okay one, actually looking forwards to it. If only Steven could wake up and get his ass on MSN so we could do some last minute changes to my website, that would be very nice!

If you read all that, you must be very bored, my week hasn’t really been James Bond.
