Instead, I'm going here for christmas

Egypt. I can't wait!!

I want to spend Christmas in New York

This summer I spent two weeks in America and absolutely loved it, especially New York and Boston.

In August, if you're walking around NY you need to either jump into a fountain or go into every shop with air co. just to cool down - it's so warm and humid. There's a whole different buzz.

But now, with the snow and the lights, NY must be amazing.

I will definitely return in the winter time.

Dear Santa.

my "little" wish list.

Thinking about christmas gifts....

I just love Laura Ashley.

Can't wait to own my own place and be able to decorate it however I want.

I find this funny.

In cold days like today I think back to summer times and how it is nice to walk around in t-shirts and shorts, no coat in the evenings, and no pijamas at night.

me, me, me,...

Following on from my previous post, I am in fact applying for a Masters degree.

Just to have the option - you know.

And all of the Universities I am approaching ask for a personal statement/cover letter.

Trying to write 1000 words about yourself is surprisingly hard, especially if you need to sound smart, focused, confident, positive, funny, interesting, interested, hard working...

Why can't I just walk into these Universities, speak to the admissions lady, and just like that she would find out (in about 15 minutes) all there is to know about me.

Simple, no?

don't plan too much

As an 'all day planner' I find myself often thinking about where I will be in 5 years time - my job, my friends, family, home.. I think about it pretty much ALL the time actually.

I got this image from another blog, and I just love it.

Why are we all rushing and worrying so much about getting jobs, getting MA degrees, getting placements... Naturally it is good to think ahead, but on the other hand is it worth so much worrying? Life will come, inevitably, as we go along... we'll make good and bad decisions, but at the end of the day, there's no point planning your entire future, because it will - most likely - not turn out the way you see it.

And that's a good thing I think - isn't it fun not knowing?

All we can do is focus on the Now, and work for what we believe in.

New hat

after I bought it, I saw a 65 year old woman wearing it in the street!

but never the less, I still like it.

Music makes everything better

I love this song:

Paris 2

More pics from the weekend with the girls. x

Paris!

After a veeery stressful week where we had to hand in three big projects (which we had been working on for about three months), my friends and I finally had our deserved break in Paris!

I took out some Euros at the bank and the man asked me "Why are you going to Paris?" to which I replied simply "Why not?".

And so we did.

Four ourselves a little flat where we ate Parisian cheeses, drank wine, visited the Louvre, Sacre Coeur, Montmartre, Notre Dame, the Tower, got ill from undercooked quiche, went out clubbing, had tea at Ladurée, strolled through the Champs Elysées christmas market, and generally walked, together, in the cold but beautiful Paris.

It was lovely.
