Clearly mental!

Hey!

Has definitely been a while since I last updated.

But wanted to let you all know about the crazy trip I will be undertaking in August!

I will be cycling across Orissa in aid of Childreach International and desperately need your help. I have to raise £2200 and that's quite a lot when you're a student!! So I really need people to help me make my target by sponsoring me :)

I will also be organising some events like gigs and the like. I would love it if you would support these events too, even just by turning up and bringing all your friends it really would mean so much to me!!

The website I use to get donations is very simple and easy to use and if that's too much for you, you could just give me cash and I will put it up on the website for you!!

Please help me so I can do this amazing trip and help others!!

Empty Promises

Okay, I should probably not try and make promises I cannot keep.
I forget about this blog, mainly because I like to think I have better things to do in my life, but I know that it's just because I am rubbish at remembering to do things.

Exams are over, it is summer(ish) and things are good. Apart from the fact that yet again I am ill. I am not impressed at all. However with exams being over, means I suddenly have time to do all the things I enjoy doing, namely nothing. But we're working on that.

I am into my last week at QHC in my first year at uni!! Eeeek, it has been an exciting year. Full of ups and downs, mainly ups though :) I get my results tomorrow, or at least find out if I've passed or failed which is a scary thought. Hopefully passing will have occurred and I will not have to leave Birmingham as I've grown fairly attached to this place. Am currently trying to fill in an application form for a job in Birmingham. Hopefully it will not keep me in Btown for the whole summer as I do wish to return home to see everyone and not be alone in my BEAUTIFUL new house :D:D I am ridiculously excited about getting the keys to it and having my own houseee :)

Jo is coming to Birmingham on Wednesday and then on Friday Zoe will be joining us to celebrate the end of her A levels. Exciting times indeed.
Now need to sort the crazy mess that is my university bedroom and start packing everything up ready to go home/into the new house.
It will be sad to leave QHC as I know I'll never be returning to my flat and I'll never live with Charlotte, Kalbs or the Spanish Girls again. But I will be living with Georg, Ian, Craig, Emma, Lauren and Rich next year which will be great and hopefully even more fun times will occur in the 2nd year when we move over to Selly Oak and unfortunately have to do a bit more work than we did this year.

Hopefully will update this again sometime soon. But we all know this may not happen.

I am deeply ashamed

The reason for the deep ashamed-ness is that I have only just realised that I have no updated this since January. For this I am sorry, though I am doubtful that anyone actually reads this, so it's no great loss.

In my last post, I mentioned going to see Jack's Mannequin with Brooke and we did just that. We went to Manchester, got practically accused of being lesbians and going to a Lesbian Convention, ate Subway and saw the beautiful Andrew McMahon and the rest of JM. Afterwards, we met the band and had photos then returned to our "Lesbian boudoir" before train-ing it back to our respective unis :) Good times were had all round, I suppose except for Charlotte who had to endure my alarm for 3 hours as I'd forgotten to turn it off for the night ooops.

Before then, I also turned 19. Possibly the strangest birthday I've ever had, in that it didn't really feel like a birthday. Yet fun all the same.

We also had snow in the UK, was an exciting time for all, with half the country ground to a stand still we were able to play in the snow, build various snow constructions. Including the Muso Monday 3.30-5 TMP and Text team Snow Beast, whom we named Snozzeck after Wozzeck :) it was a beautiful time.

Apart from all this, little of note has occurred, apart from my bad health taking an exciting turn for the worse culminating in a short stay in an ambulance and a panic attack. However all is better now, and I seem to be having a good stretch of health for now. It had better last all through my exams this term, and after as I'd like to enjoy the summer without being hideously ill thank you very much!

Oooh, Stop the Boat!! I went to the land of the Americans and the Bahamians actually. Took the longest flights I have ever endured to get there, and back, but apart from not being able to sleep comfortably and general descending from altitude ear problems the trip was a great success :) for a first trip to the US of A, I have to say I wasn't most impressed as the hotels we stayed at were a little on the lame and not so aaaaaaaaawwweeesome side of the island. But Disney and all its happy cheese made up for it immensely :) I'm thinking for my next visit to the land of the Americans I would like to visit New York and or the West Coast including San Francisco and the like :)

I have just returned from Colchester after visiting Jo at uni for a few days and had a lovely time. May have slightly humiliated myself on Monday after drinking a little too much and generally talking too much, but a good time was had by all I do believe :)

I promise I won't leave it the best part of 3 months to write again in here, though I have to say there wasn't really enough blog worthy moments to fill too many pages!

Welcome to 2009

It would appear that I have not updated for a while. For this, I'm sorry.
I suppose I've been pretty busy, with little of any excitement.
Over the christmas holidays I was busy working, being ill and composing.
Since being back in Birmingham, it has just been pretty busy doing all sorts.

However something exciting that has happened in the last couple of days is that I am going to be seeing Jack's Mannequin on the 11th March with Brooke in Manchester woooo :)
I cannot wait. I am currently ignoring my bank account that is screaming don't go Bekah, don't goo. But it will feel better tomorrow when my Bham bursary is added to it :)
Other than this exciting piece of information, my first few weeks back at uni haven't been all that thrilling, it has been good to get back and catch up with everyone, but nothing spectacular has happened.

In fact, something exciting has happened... We have a house for next year. A beautiful house in Selly Oak with 6 double bedrooms, lovely kitchen and living room, 2 bathrooms and a rather suspicious but fun looking pole in the living room... some fun nights in could start ensuing :)

It is now 2 weeks until I become that little bit older and hit 19, which I feel is quite scary, because it is my last teen year, and it just seems all that bit much older than 18.
Lets hope my night out to celebrate is as fun as I'm hoping it will be :)

Now I really must stop procrastinating and finish my work, of which I seem to have a very large pile... mostly reading books that I cannot keep for that much longer.

Anyway, I'll try not to leave it as long again until I post something else.
