Chapters and End of a Chapter

So it been to long since i wrote, i thought there was nothing to write about bu there is rather a lot!

So lets go back!

May 12th 2012

I walked a Marathon, even now i still can't believe it and don't think its real! But with all the strength and determination in me i did it in 8 & 1/2 hours! If it had taken me twice as long i would have done it! The ending was emotional, tears were in full flow, simply because we did it, we came, we conquered! Next year i am hoping to have a half and Full marathon team made of of people i know from Sussex And Birmingham! Alongside this i also have the Race for Life in a few weeks but to be honest i haven't trained because i am cocky! I walked a marathon 3 miles wont kill me!!

Jades 21st!
Imelda & Micheal!! x
Emma, Jade, Kim and I ventured to LONDON! Up at 5am! In London by 9.30am we ventured to Oxford Circus to shop and then a spot of food in Covent Garden where we watched an AWFULLY long magical trick that we thought would get better but it didn't! It was shocking!The after a nap and change we went to Sweeney Todd and with freebies! Dada had managed to get me 4 free seats that were 7 rows from the front! Which was absolutely fantastic and i loved being able to do it for my Best Friend, she deserved the world that day and i hope she felt like she got it, i think/know she did! Then we headed to a bar for some drinks-after an interesting Cab ride! It was a hectic and tiring day but it was great to get out of Birmingham and to just enjoy each other!

Off to the Theatre!
Don't ask me what Kim's looking at!!
Some of my Favorite People!









June 11th-18th 2012

As a Satur on the Left! In the pouring Rain!
Icarus!!!
So this week was the culmination of ALL our HARD WORK! Our children's show and my Project 1; marking the end of my first year at Birmingham School of Acting! CRAZZY STUFF!  We did it come rain (literally!) or come shine! But i wouldn't change it for the world! It was a great experience and shows me how much looking into producing this kind of work is important !
So we work, got wet, cried, laugh, got angry, got happy-all the usual things.

My 21st Birthday Vintage Tea Party!

After handing in all my essays Kim, Jade and I headed to Sussex! We spent a few days organizing china and making place names and sweet jars! But on the morning of June 24th was my day! The rain was terrible the gazebo was blowing everywhere! But by the time i surfaced at 8am my parents had secured it and my lovely Dad has made the inside of our house look like palaces with fairy lights and can lights. So i got to work with the girls and mt parents in putting up bunting, setting the tables for the 24 people who were coming for tea!

BUNTING!
Then we did presents! I got the most amazing things. My Mum and Dad had made me Bunting from my old baby clothes! Its AMAZING! And something i will always use and pass on to my children! She had really thought it through as she had Christmas ones and Bunting with summer Patterns on! So this went up in my lounge and made the tea party look amazing!

My Auntie C had also out of my Baby clothes made a blanket! I was speechless at the bunting and this, that someone could make a quilt so beautiful but how big was my wardrobe when i was a child!!

I also got some beautiful Tiffany jewelry, and a Vera Wang photo frame from my god daughter & co.

Opening the Ring.
Quilt that was made for me!
But lastly my Nan, she couldn't be there which made me sad as it was as she would have loved it, but she was too ill. She had sent my aunties with a box, I noticed as i opened it there was no pattern or name of a brand on it but this didn't really make it odd. Then i opened it! And just cried! Was she crazy too! It might be nothing to another person but what she gave me was a piece of jewelary that can tell a hundred stories!
Croquet on the Lawn!

Me and Dad xx
I admired it a while ago now when we were cleaning some of her Jewellery, i said it was so beautiful and stunning! She told me i could have it when she had passed (this wasn't a very nice thought!). She obviously decided that i could have it soon! Which i love! Also she said that she never wears it so it would go to waste! And i am her only Grand-Daughter! So that was amazing but on top of this it has an amazing story. A long time ago my Nana and Grandad got burgled and this ring was taken! Many months later she saw it in a porn shop! Her rings and she new it was because if the detail and the size fit her! So Grandad bought it again! A second time! He bought it her the first time, the first ring he gave her. This means the most to me, because they were so in love and i know she misses him greatly (he died at Christmas 2000) and i miss him too, so now when wear it and look down at it he's there, all over it and so is she always. I hope one day to tell my children that story, to keep in my family. So they can live on. It beats any gift i have ever had, hands down because its her. This made me wish she was here to see my reaction and to share my Dad but after a cry i but on a brave face, She was with me just not physically today. And soon i will see her.


Ma and me !

So the day carried on with my new Bunting hung and a ring on my finger! The tea was great, we started with Pimms on the Lawn because the Sun had come out! God was defiantly watching! Then tea inside, with cake and sandwiches-I ate so much! Then again outside for games and socializing this soon moved onto a BBQ in the evening and chatting round the fire. A perfect day, with perfect friends, i wish i could re live it all over again. But i have great memories, photos and gifts to do this with.

So.....now i am up to date!almost!

I am sat in my Uni room which is soon to be my Old University Room, tomorrow i move out and Sunday i have my new (slightly smaller) room! Its odd i got rather emotional earlier with the thought that this Chapter is coming to a close. Then suddenly i think of what this room has been through with me. The start of meeting someone new (well two people actually) sitting on my bed smiling effortlessly because someone wanted to see me. Face booking well into the night, flirting (badly!) then the heart break that followed, the crying myself to sleep; then waking up hoping the problem would have wondered away! But it didn't and looking back starting at where i sobbed, I'm okay. At the time i wasn't, i jumped further than i had before and for that i am proud. If you read my early blog posts you will see that. I wouldn't change what i did, because i grew, as a person and in confidence. Many nights out have been gotten ready for in here, many fancy dress parties too! I have slogged at essays, cried at essays, cried because i miss people, smiled because i have people. I have lost friends in this room, and made some amazing ones. Its odd i feel more connected to this space, this bedroom than my space at home. I think because i spend so much time here, especially in this room. So much has gone down in here! 

So as i venture forth on the next chapter, the summer! I see the person i was arriving here isn't the person who leaves tomorrow. With many valuable lessons learn't and many futures planned. So i leave with smile in the hope that my next yera will be as jam packed, as fun filled and as testing as this one.
