Better Late

Than Never!

I guess that applies to this post and also to the wintry weather we've been getting. After a good solid week of sunshine at the start of the month it is now fuurrr-eeezze-ing, queue shopping trip for knitwear and coats and of course a cheeky chai latte, i'm clearly settling into my new life well :)

CARDIGAN:PRIMARK TOP:H&M JEGGINGS:NEW LOOK SHOES:EVANS

So this cardi was a purchase on my recent shopping trip! Apart from the fact it is 100% acrylic it's pretty perfect and i have to admit i was SRSLY impressed at Primark's autumn/winter stuff. I managed to nab a wool mix blanket coat for £10 in the sale and i love it, can't wait to post about it!

Anyyne else noticed how awsome it is at the moment, or maybe you're hating it?

Taking OOTD pictures in my flat kitchen was a slightly awkward experience for me but i just do not have the space for full body shots in my room so it was necessary. Getting back into the swing of this is undoubtedly going to be a challenge but it's one I'm ready to take on; mercilessly :)

Recovery

So my week started out well - dressing up, dancing and drinking. It was all very fun and messy and awesome. Then on Monday i felt a bit worse than just hungover but in true "Morgaine" fashion decided to party through it...

...it didn't work out too well. Turns out i have tonsillitis, again! For the first couple days i was back on the penicillin and ice cream diet before deciding a rehab weekend at my Grandparent's house was the best idea...

...and so here i am. At Grandma & Granddad's getting looked after. I also seem to be getting shit done too, how very productive of me. Monologues and Knitting (grandma just taught me, i'm loving it!) totally Rock and Roll!

Dans Ma Chambre

Making sure my room looked and felt home-y and comfortable to be in was my number one priority when i moved to uni. My room at home is my sanctuary and i wanted my space here to be the same. These are a few photos i took yesterday morning when the lovely (albeit a bit late) sunshine was streaming in through my window.
From top to bottom:
Hand carved and hand painted wooden owl (with books behind)
Buddha and my crystals
Some English Civil War Propaganda i made, the frame was originally grey!
Bears, Books and a Bottle of Rum
a pin board that showcases art by the likes of Banksy, Duane Bryers, Me and a 5 year old i babysit.

Bird, Flowers, Sunglasses

Día de los Muertos figurines & make-up
Tea and a re-used soup can (high five for recycling)

September

 [I VERY QUICKLY NEED TO INFORM YOU, THE READER, THAT THIS IS MY 200TH POST! YOU MAY NOW CONTINUE :D]

September has undoubtedly been the most crazy month of my year thus far. I feel like i have possibly written that before but this time; i really mean it.
How many emotions/life changing events/bottles of wine etc. are supposed to go into 30 days? Because i feel like i have taken more than my fair share!

Obviously, the biggest thing that has happened to me this month (not even counting how it acted as catalyst for several smaller things) was my move to Worcester to start my Drama & Performance BA at university.
I'm two weeks in now and i've done one full week of proper "lectures" i use the old inverted commas there because i don't really have lectures in the traditional sense, i mostly spend my sessions on my feet in a studio space doing anything from reading Oedipus for 10 minutes to spending an hour doing Yoga and Capoeira.
It's all very new and exciting and awesome but simultaneously, because i've been out of education for two years, it also makes my brain hurt :)

Not much in the way of pictures i know but i'm going to do a few posts this week which will all be picture heavy. Moving here and finding the days just slipping away un-noticed has definitely made me realise how on the ball i am going to have to be if i want to be able to juggle all the different parts of my life, blogging included. Time to learn how to schedule posts i guess, then i can spend free time making lots of posts so y'all are never without your BMB fix!

Just to round up this round-up i'll tell you that i haven't seen any new films or re-discovered anything i haven't mentioned before, TV has pretty much been non-existent except for last night i looked after a friends kids and crammed in as many episodes of Criminal Minds as possible whilst i had access to a TV and Music wise it's been the usual!

Freshers

Fancy Dress; i went with the easy option and geeked up.
Spending my food money on new nail varnish: good idea!
UV Night, i covered myself in paint and it didn't even glow; lame.
Quavers, my power source : )

It's been a hectic week! Between Welcome Week Lectures and Socialising i've barely had time to wash or eat or even call home.
It has been amazing though and i'm glad to report that i am now extremely settled into my halls with 5 lovely flat mates. Today was my first proper day of lectures and i only had one this morning so quite easy really.
Still feels very much like a holiday.

My room here is piss tiny and quite dark so lord knows how i'm gonna do outfit posts but i will find a way! I will! I must!
Any ideas on how to tackle the space issue are welcome, like if you blogged/are blogging at uni and had the same problem, y'know, help me, please.

I've missed this quite a bit, i mean i've been reading all my blogs as much as possible but i have really missed writing and documenting my crazy life : )
