My first, and last for a while, exam was on Monday and whilst I'm honestly not sure how it went at all, I managed to come out in such an amazing mood! I gave myself the day off afterwards and watched, as I promised myself after the exam, the Vampire Diaries Season 3 finale! And what a finale! Absolutely incredible. A post-review will follow in due course even though I'm more than a little late watching it! I just need to spread my love for this program!
The weather has been so gorgeous too and it was such a good feeling to be able to go and sit by the lake in the middle of campus and sunbathe without feeling guilty for not revising! I am now suitably sunkissed. It was made even better with the addition of half price Frappuccinos from Starbucks during their happy hour this week! The Chocolate Cookie Crumble is definitely worth a try!! It's my new favourite.
Nevertheless, I'm absolutely loving being back! No matter how at home I now feel at uni, this little village is just a little slice of perfection. I've already jumped my horse twice since getting back yesterday and he's coming on so well! I'm still aiming to do my first show with him in summer- it's been a long time coming! In my excitement at seeing the horses again, I almost forgot my little cat (pictured) called Pearl, she's an ex-show and breeding Snow Bengal with gorgeous blue eyes and has been acting like the spoilt princess that she is!
So this weekend is the Jubilee!! Yay! I have to say I'm so excited! (A lot of excitement in this post, I know.) The village is hosting a party for it with readings, short plays and a BBQ and buffet. It's actually one of the reasons why I came back for the week: I've been asked to act as part of a poetry reading which will be fun, especially because I'm dressing up all vintagey. I will post outfit photos after the weekend!
This is also the perfect excuse to go red, white and blue crazy so I decided to go all out and do Jubilee nails!! You'll have to excuse the paint around my nails that I hadn't removed before taking the photos but otherwise, they didn't go too badly! I've used the Rio Nail Art set which I would so recommend to anyone with a nail obsession because although it retails at about £20, the set has lasted me a good 18 months now with pretty regular use and they dry so quickly! 
The main white coat I used was actually from a Sally Hansen manicure set so it is meant to be used for the tips but it's been great! Because it's quite thin, chipping has been minimal thus far, although I did just get cocky so I'll now be expecting a chip sometime soon!
I also realised with great sadness and dread that yesterday was 30th May. Which means that a month yesterday, it will be my birthday and I will be 19. Now I'll apologise in advance to those 18 and above (because I keep getting disapproving looks everytime I say this) but I don't want to be 19!! I never wanted to be 18 either because it meant I was closer to 19 and then to 20 and that sounds soo big!! Not old, definitely not old, just mature and adult, i.e I really do have to start acting like an adult with horrible and serious adult responsibilities! Yuck, yuck, yuck. But I have come to the conclusion whilst coming back on the train yesterday that ageing is, unfortunately, inevitable so I may as well enjoy each day as it comes. And this year has been brilliant! In fact, for what I have lined up next year, things can surely only get better!
Anyway, whatever you have planned for this weekend's Jubilee celebrations, enjoy it and I hope you have a great time! Make the most of this fantastic excuse to be all British and have afternoon tea and buffets! xoxo
