Special delivery!

I've been meaning to mention this for a while now, but as usual, I've been extremely busy!
I got a lovely package in the post the other week, from my friend Jade which I absolutely LOVE!

Oh yes! It's Katy Perry for O.P.I! I absolutely LOVE them.


Also, on a less positive note, I have noticed how inconsistent my blogging has become. And, to be honest, it is mainly down to my workload. I have exams coming up soon, and I simply don't have the time. So, I've come to the conclusion that I won't be blogging much at all for a few weeks, as revising will be my priority. There may be a post or two every now and again, but it is unlikely that this will happen often. And, once my exams are over, I can blog to my heart's content!

Puppies, Mohawks, and GTL!

I am a HUGE fan of Glee and Jersey Shore, so since it's half term, I've been catching up on all the new episodes online. As far as Glee goes, Sue Sylvester is amazing and I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Puck - alright, I LOVE him! So, I thoroughly enjoy catching up on one of my favourite shows, and seeing Puck's lovely face just makes it a million times better. Although, I'm not quite sure what to think of his new relationship developing with a certain 'larger than life' lady. Jersey Shore's new episode was up too. First of all, thank god Sam left, because she was so annoying! I love Pauly D and Vinnie's bromance so much, and Snooki and J-Wow never fail to entertain. They all just make my week!!

On a less positive note, my dog, George had to have an operation on friday, and had to have stitches and everything. It is so sad, he cries and he can't play or run about. They had to put two extra stitches in because he is so excitable! So, to stop him from getting at his stitches, he has had to wear this plastic cone collar thing, and he hates it! He keeps walking in to things and getting caught, and although it is slightly amusing, it is also quite upsetting to watch. So, let's hope he gets better soon!

Also, I just realised that I haven't posted one photo of my beautiful pup on here! So, here he is!

Sorry for the lack of quality in some pictures. I swear he is so much cuter in real life.

It's all good!

First of all, I have conditional offers from all of the universities that I applied for! I am so happy, especially considering the fact that I thought I'd failed one of the interviews!

Also, I have a new purse which I am loving at the moment.

I have been meaning to show you my curtains for a while now too, as I made them myself! My mum bought a new house about a year ago, and I am FINALLY getting my room done! I recently had mirrored wardrobes fitted and a new floor and somewhere along the way I had the idea of making my own curtains, so I got some white voile-ish material, and I made my own drawbacks too! I was feeling creative, and they look really good in my room. I have also been selecting some of my favourite vinyl records to put on my walls, because we have so many, and as a music lover, I have developed a bit of an obsession with them. Once my room is all done, I will show you what it looks like, however at the moment, the walls are just plain white, and I only have a bed and wardrobes...

I have also discovered my love for savoury rice recently too, when I made my own dinner. I have had it before, but this one was so nice, I've been craving it ever since! It was delicious.

Birthday!

This weekend was extremely eventful for me! On friday, a friend of mine had a house party, so I got to wear my new Pixie Lott dress from Lipsy! Unfortunately I didn't take a photo but I will do in the near future!

Then, on saturday, I had some of "the girls" round for drinks, and then we went in to town afterwards, which was good! And I could finally face the fear of getting "ID'd" by the bouncers, as I am now, in fact, 18!!!

Here are my lovely new shoes from Topshop too, which I LOVE!

Sunday was a really relaxing day for me, as it was my actual birthday day. My mum cooked us an amazing dinner, and I opened my presents!

I got some jewellery, an ipod touch, money, and lots more!

Also, I thought I would show you this beautiful photo frame that one of my amazing friends gave me! She gave me so much lovely stuff, she is amazing! This is the friend that I went to NYC with not long ago! So, she gave me a few different pieces of makeup from our trip, and then this photo frame, with a picture of us in New York from one of the best days we had there! It was an amazing gift so I thought I'd share that! I love her!

So, that's it really! And now it's half term!!! So happy that I have a whole week of getting up in the middle of the day, completely guilt free!

Life was good...

Hello! Long time, no post. So, I had a uni interview thing today, and I don't think I could've failed more miserably. The thing is though, I think I've reacted quite well considering; I'm generally not bothered. In fact, the only emotion I feel towards it is guilt about the fact that I don't care! I know, it's terrible. It wasn't always this way. This time last week, I had offers from three of my uni choices, then I had an interview last week, and got an offer from them, so that was 4/5. Everything was going just great... until today.

So, I arrive half an hour early, confident, well dressed, and prepared... or so I thought. For this specific uni, I had to do a written test. Usually, I am good with words, and tend to do well with written exams, and as nobody knew what sort of test this would be, we couldn't prepare. I came out convinced I had got EVERY question wrong. But, seriously, I don't know who they think we are! I'm sorry but NO, I don't know the third most common language spoken in Belgium, and NO, I don't know how many of the most popular newspapers are sold daily, or whether Slovakia are members of the EU and what their governmental policies on health and education are... so apologies to whoever has to mark that exam, hopefully they'll have a sense of humour, or maybe mine will get lost along the way.

Stress!

So, I am completely stressed out at the moment. Not only do I have uncountable amounts of coursework and essays to be doing, but I also have my first university interview on wednesday! I am so nervous. What do I wear? What do I say? This is all so new to me, I don't know where to start.


Other news:


It was my friends birthday yesterday - and by friend I mean more of an acquaintance. I suppose we used to be friends, but for the past couple of years I think the friendship is long gone and moved on. She went for a meal with her group of friends, and then some people went back to hers for drinks. As it was her 18th, my friend and I decided to pop in to say happy birthday, and it was definitely worth it. To say it was a life changing experience is an understatement. I was attacked by her cat. One of her friends, who is conveniently nicknamed 'Dad' to us, performed his own rendition of the TIME WARP! Yes, you heard correctly. In the midst of this fun filled 30 minutes, I also managed to have a drink spilt on me, and was attacked again - this time from a human. A certain guest decided to give me a hug. Now, you may think that this is normal party protocol to hug one another. Not this party. Not only were me and my friends nowhere near close to being a part of their friendship group, but I definitely did not think we were on hugging terms - our relationship was nowhere near developed enough - we were more awkward smile and wave phase. All in all, my time spent in her house was eventful to say the least, and it will definitely be a night to remember.

More from NYC

I am still yet to show you everything I bought from New York, so here's some more...

 Bag: Bloomingdales

Top: Zara

I also got these boots from Nine West, because my dog chewed the inside of my beloved military boots! I must admit, having had them for a couple of years now, I've definitely got good use out of them. (As much as I love these new boots, I will still try to wear my old ones - perhaps when there is less walking to be done).

My old ones...

More stuff to come soon, I'll try and keep updated, however, I have lots of work these next few days, but I'll try my best!

Mac App Store.

So, it's nearing 12.15 (waaaay past my bedtime), however, I have an excuse! Apart from revision, and collecting photos for this lovely blog, I have been fiddling around with the Mac App Store. Those of you who actually read my blog (which I doubt is many), will know that I've had a Macbook for a while now. Little did I know what amazing things could be done on this magnificent piece of machinery! I absolutely love the apps, and have been installing all sorts, all night! Hopefully the novelty won't wear off too soon!

A bit late, I know.

I know this is like 2 weeks too late, but I was meant to do a post on this around Christmas, unfortunately, I forgot. Basically, my amazing friend made us all personalised cards this year, and I think this is the BEST card ever! All my friends got different ones, they were so creative. I love her! So, thank you, even though it's too late!

Anyway, I'll hopefully be posting soon, I'm just all over the place at the moment! I have had exams recently, but once they are over, I will definitely catch up, and stay organised!

Sophie says... SORRY!

Quick Update

Happy New Year!


I'd personally like to welcome you to 2011, I hope everybody has a fantastic year!


I'm so sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER, but I have been so busy, and I've had SO much work to do.


Once I have the chance, I will post everything else I got in NY, and what I got for Christmas! But for now, as I am short for time, I will just give you a little update on my life. 


I saw the movie Love & Other Drugs the other day, simply for the fact that I LOVE Jake Gyllenhaal. The film was good, but I didn't really know what to expect because I only briefly new the storyline, so I was surprised to find that the first half of the film was basically people having sex. Nevertheless, it was a good storyline, well acted, and made me laugh quite a bit, so all in all, quite good.


Other news; a while ago I did a post on X Factor. Now, as the show is over, it's probably a bit strange for me to be bringing this up. The reason for this, is because I miss it, weirdly enough. But more to the point, I miss One Direction! Now, before you get all cynical on me, NO I am not a squealing fan girl type, or one of those 'Beleibers', or whatever they are called. However, as much as I would hate to be thrown in that category, I love One Direction, and specifically Harry Styles. I know, it's terrible. I follow them all on twitter, and I find them so funny, and down to earth, (and gorgeous), I can't help but love them. So, I am going to dedicate this post to telling you exactly why I like them so much.


First of all, Harry Styles. Need I say more? I wouldn't say he is 'fit' or 'hot' but just adorably cute. He has the most beautiful face I think I have ever seen. Not only does he have the most perfect smile, with the cutest dimples, but he has lovely curly hair, and amazing eyes. Then add in his cheeky personality and sense of humour which I fall for each and every time, and his 'Bromance' with his bandmate Louis Tomlinson, and you basically want to marry him. Now before you ask, I am 17, and although Harry is a bit younger than me, turning 17 very soon, I can't help it! Louis, I find very funny, and Niall is extremely cute (if not, slightly cheesy). Then there's Zayn, who has quite the handsome face, and Liam Payne, who seems quiet but nice all the same. I think this whole love for them is because they are so normal! So, SORRY for being a fan, but I just love them, it's like a disease!


Moving swiftly on, in case I embarrass myself further, I had an incredible Christmas and New Year, and I will be updating very soon, hopefully.
