BEST VIDEO EVER!

This is going to be the lamest post ever, 
but I feel that I have no need to apologise.
This video is so amazing that there is absolutely no need for apologies. 
Watch it.
Seriously.
And do it now.
You guys, I cried.
Fully.
When the fountain lights up, my eyes welled up.
When the marching band part and you see him stood there, I literally started crying.
By the time it pans across to her parents, I was sobbing.
Like the hopeless romantic that I am, my body was convulsing with every sob and I was just so happy for her.
Now, please, watch this, and enjoy!

Grey day

I stole a peek out the window at uni late this afternoon at the grim, 
grim sky overhead and it hurt me. 
The sky is hurting my feelings. 
So desperately grey and so...loomy.
So very loomy.
Like the clouds are so thick that you could throw a few small objects up at them and they would bounce right back down.
And probably hit you square in the kisser.
But the grey, loomy clouds didn't matter today, 
because by the time I was really paying attention to them, 
my French presentation was done.
Don-don-donnnne.
That means I can free up the entire section of brain-space that was dedicated to learning my presentation and I can start to fill it up with something else.
Maybe I could fill it with some camera information and finally learn what the heck aperture and an f-stop is?
Or maybe some delicious wintery soup recipes.
Mmm, that's a definite possibility.
Or maybe I could just leave it empty.
Just for a little while anyway.

Looking forward

There a few little things I'm looking forward to this week.

Tomorrow I have to give a presentation in French.
I'm not looking forward to actually doing the presentation, but I am looking forward to it being done.
I can already imagine how relieved I'm going to feel.

Then on Wednesday I hand in another assignment.
I'm not looking forward to writing the damned thing, but I'm looking forward to handing it.

I'm in school on Thursday, which is honestly my favourite part of my degree.
I'm looking forward to being called Mrs Kerr again and coming away with another five drawings of myself with various kiddies for my fridge.

Then on Friday I'll be in Amsterdam.
Just a casual little trip for the day.
How sweet will that be?
This is why I love living in Europe, hop on a ferry for the night and wake up in Amsterdam.
Boom.
I promise to avoid the 'special' brownies, but I can't make any promises about the red light district.
I'm kind of intrigued to see it.
Don't judge me for that.

Life according to my iphone


Quick catch up of my week via instagram & twitter. 
Last weeks catch up here.


"Came home from uni to see this attached to the door. The cheek of that boy!"


"He's forgiven. He'd booked a table at the Olive Tree."


"I'm considering buying a Russian hat..."


"Beyonce has just given me a massive pep talk. Who runs the world?"


"Walking through campus and can hear the dance of the sugarplum fairies playing somewhere. Very strange but kind of magical."


"Craving nandos so much right now. I need some piri piri in my blood."


"Now that I've finished reading the hunger games I have no choice to do my uni work. Starting tomorrow."


"Fireworks going off to the Harry Potter theme! Erm...bonfire night perfection."


"Literally just googled how to write a literature review. Times are hard friends."

Academic ramblings

Dinner tonight consisted of tea with chocolate spread.
I think that that is the only acceptable dinner to have when you get in from the library after eight.
That is something that has never happened before.
Get in from the library after eight I mean.
My mind is a messed up compilation of literature for my dissertation, 
theories of leadership and teams, 
the Key Stage Two Framework for Languages, 
and the first two paragraphs of a French presentation that I've managed to memorise.
I think I even dreamt in French for the first time last night.
I didn't even know that I knew enough French to have an entire dream spoken in it.
The mind truly boddles.
Anyways, things in my head are getting far too academic for one night, so I'm going to go have a long shower and watch TOWIE. (Total guilty pleasure - shuttup!)
