May book haul.

I'm so excited for this post. It seems so long since I actually read a book for fun. I've spent so much of my time at university reading academic papers and they aren't exactly written by J.K Rowling! So now, lectures are done I've been on a few shopping sprees for books and I'm now well and truly addicted to reading again.

This is pretty much all I do now exams are done, although on this occasion I have made the effort to get dressed.


Wednesday 6 May 2015

That time I handed in my dissertation.

Yup, I finally did it, I handed in my dissertation on Tuesday, whole 24 hours before the deadline. It has been quite the adventure but I have to say, I am so so glad that it is over now.


A-Z of me (Part 2)

So you've seen part one, here's the next bit!

N- Noodle one

My favourite place to eat in Bangor and best of all nothing on their menu has tomatoes in so it's all safe for me!

O- Organisation 
I love being organised, a good to do list is my favourite, My newest addition to my organisation goodies is my filofax, I love it. I got a Black A5 Metropol and it's a dream, I wasn't a fan of the filofax inserts so I've made my own! Now I can't be without it, my whole life is in there,contacts, diary, blog and even a health section.

P- Procrastination
If only I could get a degree in procrastination! My favourite methods of procrastination is napping, second is making stuff for my filofax.

Q- Quotes

I have an app that gives me a motivational quote every day and it's a great start to the day.

R- Richard

He's rather wonderful and has been kind enough to put up with me for about a year and a half now.

S- Simba
The lion king is by far the best Disney film ever. When I was a kid I had a teddy of simba, sadly when my parents broke up and I moved out with my mum he went missing. I was totally devastated, I still am really. A few years ago I got myself a new one but it's just not the same.

T- Thoday
Thoday is the environment building here at Bangor and pretty much my second home, I'm here most days at the moment working.

U- Unagi!

A total state of awareness* and sushi, both are great.

*If anyone doesn't get that friends reference then we should be fiends.

V- Vacation 

I need one of these now, the end of third year is in sight and we are all getting tired. This time last year Richard and I were in Corfu and I love Greece it's the most beautiful country, the islands are so diverse and the people are amazing! Give me a Greek beach and some cocktails!

W- Washi tape
My new love, it's wonderful suff, kind of papery tape, it features strongly in my filofax but can also be used to decorate other things.

X- X X

This one is witty, X X is 20 in roman numerals. I'm 20. It's the best I could come up with that wasn't X-ray !I spent my 20th birthday with an awesome bunch of people on the tiny island of Malta while doing a placement out there.

Y- Ysbyty Gwynedd
I've spent too much time here in the past 12 months, I've been having various tests for stomach problems (probably related to that tomato intolerance) but the doctors are lovely and they even have free parking! And in case you are still wondering, Ysbyty Gwynedd is my local hospital.

Z- Zzzz
Napping is my favourite. Over the past few months my napping skills have had some serious improvement I can now nap at very short notice and at my desk. Can I put this on a CV?

I've really enjoyed doing this, I hope you've all learnt something new!

Keep it Scrimpy,
Laura.
