Another break-from-revision post except this time I'm typing on my new iPad, yey. I know some people see them as pointless, which I once did, but I've been considering investing in one since about before Christmas and I'm so glad I got one. I figured it will be really useful for university (if I go) as they are so versatile and light weight.

I don't really have much to say as I have pretty much done nothing except go to the gym, work, hang out with dan, eat pizza and make a 3D jigsaw owl with him.

I have been over playing the Maccabees most recent album 'given to the wild'. I absolutely love it, and I've always liked the Maccabees but I've definitely become more accustomed to them as they have grown (I like wall of arms much more than colour it in).

I wanna show you a picture of that owl I made cause it took ages and I want to share my hard work xxx but it's upstairs, and I am not, so let's just leave that be.

Any way here are some things that are making me happy on this nice and sunny -for once- saturday in Newcastle (including my favourite maccabees songs)

This stuff is so nice, I love it. I love pointless nice cute stuff. I have a keyring 'The sheep of destiny' and a birthday card which I got about 3 year ago but I keep it up in my room. It's by Edward monkton and I don't really know how to describe it. It's all just kind of silly but nice. Look at his site and I am sure you will understand.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is on my TV at the moment and it's making me happy

 I love candles and these are most amazing ones I have ever owned. Obviously yankee candles are lovely but I find them to be really pricey, and to be honest I would rather spend my money on clothes, that £18 cold buy me something that isn't going to burn away within 3 weeks. But these, I don't even know what they smell like, they literally smell like angels and fairy dust. I'm not sure if they are available to buy anywhere, as my Mam got me them when she went on her annual spa trip last October. She's going again this year so I will deffo get her to gets me some more

 Strawberry nails, yey. I can never be bothered to do nail art and let's be honest it's stupidly hard, but I saw this idea and I tried it and it looks kinda messy but oh well, I like strawberries.

so excited about the things that are currently on their way to me in the post 

Taking a break from cramming for my exam tomorrow. I took the day off college today, which to be honest I don't feel that bad about as I finished at half 12 anyway. So stupid how wound up I am about this exam, I don't even usually stress about them at all but I think it's just the fact that it's a speaking exam, any one that has studied language, even at GCSE, will know how awful it is :(
I keep stopping every now and then to drink coffee/green tea and listen to music. Here are some of the tracks I have been listening to (and using as motivation)

Making a post when I should be speaking French non stop, as my oral exam is upon me in the mere distance that is the elevenses of Wednesday. I am absolutely dreading it. I am just comforting myself with the thought of how quickly those deathly 15 minutes will time out.
I went shopping on Friday for the first time with my mam and in was really nice, I got so many things and didn't feel guilty about having things bought for me. Firstly, if you ever shop in the metro centre please go in Boux Avenue. When it first opened (next to la senza and Ann summers....) I was apprehensive as to why it was needed however it is the cutest shop ever. All of the underwear is placed in little draws which you get to open and search yourself, the staff service is excellent too and they have the nicest stock, it's not too pricey either. I also got some new perfume, some new jeans and a new dress and a pair of the nude Vectras. Oh and a hair band.

Wearing the benefit mascara, if you knew how shit my lashes usually look, you would understand.

I am going out tonight in Newcastle with my best friend Laura and maybe a couple of others, I plan to remain civilised as last time I went out I got stupidly drunk and ended up throwing up in the middle of the o2 academy. yep. I am really excited and I am going to wear just a plain zip up black body con I got a while ago from H&M with a black and white stripy blazer.
Also, lastly, I just want to say I know own the most amazing mascara. Benfit's 'They're Real'. I have crappy short thin eyelashes and I hate mascaras that just clump and make you look like you fall hand in hand with a pair or concealer lips. So after reading about this on skullsandrosesxo blog I went out and purchased it, and oh my god. Thank you is all I have to say.

I need to go and revise how to talk about racism in France. But the Big Bang Theory is on :(
