Random Updates

This past week has been a bit crazy and I can't believe it's been so long since my last post! Not good! But there's a lot that's happened so this is going to be a bit of a random post really!


So, first of all, I have some very exciting news that I just have to share...


I have been elected News Editor of The Stag (our university newspaper) next year AND have been elected as Treasurer for the Equestrian Society!! (Let's ignore the fact I study English and haven't done Maths since GCSE... I did get an A though!) 


I was elected for both positions last week and since then have had deadlines and meetings galore which sucks. But things have calmed down a little now, hence why I finally got round to making this post!!


There are also two Vampire Diaries episodes that I've watched since my last review and now there's only the finale left! (Crazy excited dance ensues) I know America has already had the finale so I've been desperately trying to avoid all spoilers until next week. So let's start with Do Not Go Gentle (Episode 20)... This episode was an emotional roller coaster to say the least! It did, however, lose me at several points and I was left thinking 'wait, what? How did you get to that conclusion?'. Don't get me wrong, I loved the episode and I, yet again, praise the writers of this programme for their ability to trigger such a huge range of emotions from their audience. But, and whilst I know you constantly have to suspend your belief with this programme which is never normally a problem, it was actually quite difficult with this episode and, rather than being completely absorbed in the action, I found myself outside of it sort of baffled at times. 


Because of that I was concerned about the rest of the remaining episodes but Before Sunset did not disappoint! In fact, I would say it was one of its best episodes this season. It combined the perfect amount of epic fight scenes, tragic moments and comedic relief as well as subtly ensuring that the audience followed the twists and turns this episode took. Pretty awesome.


On to another completely irrelevant topic... Yesterday (thank you to Dani and Billie for finally helping me to decide!) I bought my first red lipstick (a sort of deep red) which is extremely different for always-natural me but I'm trialing it tonight so I will post a picci in due course! 


Another purchase recently are these beauties... I, number 1, didn't even want these to begin with and, number 2, am having to practise walking in them but they were in the New Look sale for £14 so temptation was put firmly in my way. And I saw no way round other than to buy them!


I'm on a bit of a shoe/ring binge at the moment. A random combination, I know! But it's because I recently found an antiques places near to where I live (I have no idea how I've never found it before but what a discovery!) and they have some gorgeous jewellery but I have yet to buy anything. I'm hoping my next trip home will result in some new accessories. It's a major bonus that there's also a horsey section so I can buy a new pair of riding boots whilst I'm there!


I'm currently on a time limit so I'm going to have to leave it there but a more topic-specific post is on its way, I assure you! 


Sorry for the randomness!
