Every morning Kylie, Han and I wake up and watch the Jeremy Kyle show on ITV. Its like Jerry Springer only with more telling off and Chavs lol. LOVE IT!!
Anyway, I've got to get back to the show and do the dishes!
Love Georgie xxxx
I did it! I finally did it! I've moved up to Uni!! Hurrah!! I got the day off to a rather poor start when mum shouted 'Georgie, it's 7:15'.. Bugger it! I'd set my alarm for 6am to finish packing but naturally my alarm is set not to wake me up on weekends so that didn't happen! Durrr... lol
Mum and I had a pretty good drive up, I managed to miss a turning because I wasn't really paying attention and had to turn around to meet mum for lunch.. so that added another 20 minutes to the drive.. with a 20 minute stop for lunch and the 20 minute turn-arround it took us about 4hrs 30mins ish which wasn't too bad. Once I got my key mum (unintentionally) made me feel REALLY bad because she wouldn't let me take any of the big boxes because of my back so I was waddling around with these tiny backpacks and bags while mum's carrying these massive boxes packed full of tins into the flat. She's such a hero! THANK YOU MUMMY! (Having said that it looked really bad in front of all of the cute girls that were moving in damn it! lol)
I have to explain something here about the flat, I'm staying in 'Hawthorns' which is the name given to what are essentially the slums of Keele accommodation! Holly Cross last year was SOOO much nicer than this! But I'll get used to it I guess.. I've just got to get the rest of my posters up eh? That'll make it a lot better! We've got a new kitchen unit and new power shower mind you so that's a vast improvement over what last year had in here!
Above are a couple of pictures of my room, it's about two thirds of the size of my last room but I've been able to re-arrange the furniture here to optimise the space which is nice.. I need to tidy up too.. The plan tomorrow is to buy some food! I'll let you know how that goes on a budget! lol
Oh, also I've met Hannie now who is lovely and Kylie's moved in too which is ace! I spent the afternoon hanging out with them along with Ollie and Hayley who came over to see me! It was really great fun (for me anyway) and we watched the Manbearpig episode of South Park which just kicks ass! :D
Okay. bed time now!!
Peace and Love x
Hey Everyone!
Soooo.. I've managed to get out of bed having woken up about three hours ago.
I've had a shower (which was freezing cold!! Grrr.. mind you I like the way my skin tightens up and makes my moobs almost look like pecks in the mirror lol)
I'm sitting in the kitchen right now drinking a cup of tea (I am british after all), and watching the chavs go by as the stumble and swear past the window lol
You know what time it is; it's the Back Update! (I was going to record a theme tune but I just opened up GarageBand and have no idea what I'm doing lol). So how's the back today Georgie? I hear you ask, funny you should ask, I was just about to tell you! It's MUCH better today! I think I was slightly naive to think that my back would be back in fully working order within a day having had to lay down because of the pain.. but it's much better, I should be fine to drive up tomorrow, it sucks though because I could have gone up to uni on tuesday and THEN screwed up my back which probably would have been my preference but hey, I guess we don't get to choose these things do we? [MAD ANDY JUST WALKED PAST THE WINDOW AND MUMBLED SOMETHING! HE SCARES ME..] Anyway, I'm now going to be moving up to Uni tomorrow with mum which is good because I'll get all of my stuff up there in one go, but bad because it means Hannah will have been stuck up there at uni all by her self for a whole week! I feel really bad.. poor Hannah..
Oh! As a side also Hannah's made a Vox Blog! Yay! ..but I think she disabled the comments on her first post.. silly sausage lol
[I CAN HEAR THE ICECREAM TRUCK OUTSIDE!!]
Mum's stolen the BIG telly, she's not watching it but has chosen that sofa to sit on and get in the damned way! I wanna watch the BIG telly! Oh! In related news I've now managed to convert 50 of our movies and put them onto the Apple TV now - Yay! Mind you that's probably only about one eighth of our DVD collection.. urgh.. it's going to be a long Christmas converting movies again when I get back lol
It feels so good to be blogging again! :D
Peace and Love x
My back is still rubbish! I was hoping that I'd wake up this morning and be able to leap out of bed, do back flips across the room, jump into my car and drive up to uni but alas, no back flips and thus no uni today.. I REALLY hope I'll make it up there tomorrow but I'm considering just giving up on my early return and going up on Saturday with mum now (we can't go up before because mum's flying out to our office in Holland today). Not really sure what to do quite..
I got a message from Robin on facebook earlier (which I must reply to! - I'm supremely good at putting off replying to messages and comments!) he asked me if I was okay and said that I didn't seem like myself lately and I guess I haven't really. I mean, I have been okay, most of the time I'm in a perfectly happy mood and blogging again is actually cheering me up; I just love those little comments at the bottom of each post! :D But this summer I haven't really been myself; my life revolves around my friends (I count my family in that category) but this summer I have been working constantly; I got back home from uni in June, started work at Alan Rogers strait away, had a few days off for my birthday and then worked right up until I did my re-sits where I had another two weeks off in which I saw no-one because I was studying, after that strait back to work and then off to Uni again with a bad back; I probably only had about a dozen evenings of socialising this summer which is ridiculous! Didn't go to Thorpe Park once after my birthday which is odd and it's been a pretty lonely and un-Georgie-ish summer for me really.
I think I've worked out what's different with me though this summer (and don't worry! I'm going to get back to my usual self asap because this is boring!):
1. I'm tired all of the time: the reason for this is my being out of shape so first off I'm going to start running again at 6:30am like I used to and which I love doing anyway!
2. I'm going to eat better: I've been eating rubbish this summer; carbs carbs carbs carbs carbs! It's giving me massive energy fluctuations and making my tiredness even more extreme!
3. Too much caffeine: Running on coffee all day at work has really taken it's toll; energy levels are all over the place and my teeth aren't as pearly white as they might be.
4. Worshipping the dark prince: being a slave to Satan has been pretty tiring, I'm covered in burns and I'm running out of things to sacrifice! (this one was a joke, I'm just getting bored of the list lol)
5. Worrying about things: I'm in a constant state of either worry or frustration; neither of which are good! A big worry of mine (though I try to hide it behind my cool and collected / hyper and mental exterior) is my work when I'm at uni. This year I'm going to keep on top of my work; being disorganised is no excuse for a mac user (I'll do a blog about this specifically when I get the chance) getting organised will take a lot of pressure off & stupid as it sounds getting my iPhone in November is going to be a great help; having my iCal, Mail, To-do lists and a note pad with me 24/7 will be immensely useful in keeping me organised. I'm going to schedule & time-table my time so that I know what I'm doing & can keep on top of things, I'm also going to get to know the library a lot better since it's a great place to avoid distractions.
6. Money: I have never been so poor in my life; seriously! I have to cut down on my spending at uni because I have no buffer space in my bank account if I over spend this year so my £10 a day is going to have to work! No more wasting food; I'm going to make a menu for what I'm going to eat and then base my shopping on it; not the other way around. I'm going to give up drinking for the most part and with that I'm not going to go out to the bars either; a cheep night might be £10 say? But three times a week, is 12 times a month and I can't afford to throw away £120 a month; that's more than a third of my monthly budget! Also less drinking means I'll have less work to do to get back in shape too! oh! and the car! I'm going to avoid using it when I can & try using it just for long drives; ie Grandma & Home (Kent), shopping & the cinema (a luxury I will afford myself).
7. Women: I just have to sort my head out on that one! I've been putting it off too long.
So there is a rough break down, I noticed it turned from what's wrong now into what I'm going to do at uni but even if it bored your little socks off (sorry if it did) then it'll be useful for me when I am back & need it to refer to lol
Right! I'm going to shut myself up now & reply to Robin's message, Catch up on some Vimeo & Reply to my other facebook messages!
Peace and Love (and cuddles because I feel like cuddles today) x
Georgie's little university adventure is on hold; I've screwed up my back BIG style! I was packing boxes this-morning and at about 6:45 my back yelled *NO!* and my back gave me the most horrible pain! I think I've damaged one of my intercostal muscles because it's on my left at the back of my rib cage where it hurts the most.. oh man! It's not easy being so old lol. The plan right now is that I'm going to try and fill my car up with as much stuff as I can tomorrow and drive up by myself, mum's going to come up on Saturday with the rest of my stuff.
OH! So room-mates; I was meant to be sharing with Roo, Robin and the lovely May but over the course of the summer Roo's had to drop out because her parents are bastards and wouldn't let her share with two boys and now Robin's dropped out too, luckily Kylie is going to share with us which is great because she's awesome :) - thing is though we didn't know who the university was going to appoint to our flat to take Roo's place but now I know! (actually I think I wrote that on my last post..? oh well.. I'm tired, don't pick on me! lol) May, the brilliant genius that she is had tracked down our new housemate oh facebook! So without further-a-do our new housemate is called Hannah (AKA 'Han')! I've spoken to her a little via facebook now and she seems really nice and I'm actually really looking forward to meeting her tomorrow.
In other news I am being mothered big time! Mum's taking really good care of her invalid son today (for the easily confused I'm referring to myself) I have cups of tea pooring out of my ears! ..which I should probably see a doctor about! And I'm full of toast and cornish pasty.
Oh! AND GEEK TIME! *Insert Theme Tune Here* (I should have a theme tune I think.. or maybe I've just been listening to too many podcasts lately) anyway! iPhone UK! 9th of November, £269 and a VERY EXCITED GEORGIE! Yay! I can't wait! I'm going to start collecting my pennies now (although Mark has said he'll try and help me get it if he can which is super dooper nice of him!) Ollie, Roo & I have already agreed that we're going to line up together when it comes out to get ours! :D
Yay! Okay, I'm going to let mum rub some more muscle heating stuff into my back!
Peace and Love x
Heylo everyone!
I just got back from Lindsay Bar where Katy, Pipper, Rob, Tom L, May, Vicky, and I went this evening for a couple of pints and the pub quiz! :D
We didn't win on the quiz and we did have to call in some extra help; between them my parents managed to answer a question about the middle names of George Bush and Tony Blair.
I thought our team name would have won it.. but alas.. no.
On the way back I saw 2-Pac thew the window in the laundrette! Without thinking I shouted to everyone, "Is that..? Yes! It's 2-Pac!!", then he looked up and we/I ran away very fast so that he wouldn't spot me.. hehe me naughty..
Time for bed!
-Peace and Love x
ps Katy got bored and drew all over my arm.. if you'd believe my arm apparently, "I [heart] ROB", good times!
