The weather's been a bit off this week or is it just me who's noticed? When I came back from Birmingham it was all sunshine and hot and high temperatures and there I was all ready to get those summer dresses out but then BOOM, what do you know, the sun goes away and the rain sets up a permanent residence in the Home Counties. I mean really rain? Could your timing get any worse? Just go away you're so annoying. If I wanted to be stuck in jeans and oversized hoodies I could just go back to Birmingham and do that. You've let me down Hertfordshire...
So instead of frolicking through the fields being all like, oh yeah, check out how tanned and carefree I am people, I'm sitting here like this instead contemplating why this always happens to me.
On the upside, at least it hasn't been boiling hot while I've been working. High temperatures and a hot kitchen/workplace never make for an attractive mix
Now I've always been a little dubious about these Kindle's, so you can understand the hesitation in my voice when my mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday this year and I replied "a Kindle". The thing is, I much prefer reading a book I can hold and feel the pages as they turn etc, but this may just be my old fashionedness talking. It was pointed out to me though that Kindle's can be lifesavers when travelling and stuff, and as a uni student struggling for space in a small room with an ever expanding wardrobe it became clear to me this year that as much as i love my darling books there is no way I can bring them all back with me in September, which is sad times. Fortunately this Kindle is here to save the day, i've only had it a few hours and my eyes have already been opened. Who would have thought a tiny little thing could carry hundreds of books and still weigh less than the lightest of paperbacks. And as if this couldn't get any better, pretty much all the books I read are serious classics, meaning they're all free online anyway. Life just gets better and better, defo the best birthday present I ever asked for!

Tomorrow I'm meeting up with my old college friends for the first time since we all went our separate ways and headed off into the big wide world. It's the first time we'll all be reunited since May, and I am massively excited to catch up with everyone again. Of course, we've decided to meet up over pizza and Sopio, any self respecting uni students should be, this is going to be so much fun. There's no way I can sleep tonight I'm so ready for tomorrow to come already! ASSEMBLE THE MINIONS!!
I've been at my new job for a week now. Everything hurts. I knew it would be intense but nothing could prepare me to have every muscle and bone in my body ache from running around for 9 hours at a stretch. On the upside though, I'm pretty sure this is a foolproof way to lose weight, so I think it's safe for me to go out tomorrow for pizza with college buddies. Moaning aside, even though I complain a lot and when I get home I feel like curling up and hibernating till summer, I actually enjoy my job and knowing there's money in it for me, getting my first paycheck is going to be like getting to the end of the rainbow and finding a huge pot of gold there, and if it doesn't feel as beautiful as the image in my head then I will make it so it is.
For the past few weeks I've been on this diet so when I can go home for once my mum cannot turn round and tell me I'm too fat. Everything's been going fine, so far I've lost quite a bit and I've reached the point where I no longer feel the urge to throw myself in a vat of chocolate, but then this afternoon my best friend sends me a picture of this gorgeous strawberry cake he was eating, and I know he did it to cheer me up as I was ill, but I swear if he was not all the way in Nigeria at the moment I would have hunted him down and murdered him for tempting me, because now not only can I stop looking at this photo but all I can think about is how much I want to eat this cake. Oh cruel world, how can you do this to me, I officially hate technology.
