Milly's Blog...

While in London, I discovered that my good friend Milly also has a blog! I whooped with sore-throated joy as I looked at her pretty pictures...she is an amazing illustrator and has such a distinct style- I really think she's so fantastic and I'm so glad she has a blog so I can keep up to date with all of her amazing projects and artwork. Please check her blog out by clicking HERE...she's a very lovely and talented girly :D Hearts!

I went to London and I came back with tonsilitis! :(

It was half term last week, so I had Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at uni as usual, then my Thursday and Friday I would usually spend at school I had off! Yay! So I made the most of it and went to London for a few days. I usually work in a shop on Sundays so I asked for that Sunday off ages ago to make sure I really could make the most of my free few days! I had an assignment to hand in on Wednesday which turned out to be a way bigger project that I expected...so much so that I stayed up until 3am trying to finish it THEN I had to pack for London as I was going straight after uni. The problem with this was that I have to get up at 5.30am everyday to get to uni for 9am! (It's about 90 miles away and with car sharng and traffic, it's pushing it anyway) So I slept for NOT very long and got up shortly after going to bed, ready for uni! I had an Indian music class though which was BRILLIANT so it wasn't so bad, but I set off for London straight after the lesson and handing in my assignment. I was really nervous about driving but I made it! Hurrah! I spent a few days staying with friends, but I felt so stressed....I feel like my life is one big rushed stressball lately and when I don't have to be anywhere I freak out! It's an odd feeling- I always have to be doing something or be somewhere...and I had loads of work I SHOULD have been doing instead of being in London and so in the back of my head I was panicking about it all! I had a nice time though and it was good to catch up with people...but I was just exhausted by the time I got home. I was lucky enough to go to Wembley Drum Centre while I was there and I picked up a Remo practice pad...it's so cool...it's like an addiction....every spare moment is spent drumming on my little drumpad...it's so much fun! And I can feel an improvement already!
I drove back on the Monday, going via Reading to pick my friend from uni up who was coming back from Austria. I picked him up 1t 5.30pm which meant we still had a really long drive back to Cornwall! I ended up getting home at about 11pm (after a pit stop at his house to have a quick play on his amazing home-made electronic drumkit) and then had to get up for uni at 5.30am again the next day! NOOO! I was shattered and not in a good mood...anticipating a busy week ahead at uni and at school with lessons to do and plan- including a 4 hour samba workshop with a performance at the end of the day! It turned out to be really fun and the kids did amazingly well but it was exhausting and I had a majorly bad throat with a few nice white lumps down there! I decided to go to the doctors and get it checked out as it felt just like when I had tonsilitis in summer (excpet I couldn't even move out of bed then I was so ill!)...SO I went to the doctors and it turns out I have tonsilitis! NOOOOO! Today (Saturday) I'm just having a really relaxed day, catching up on work and just resting!!!! I think I need it! I'm working tomorrow in the shop then have a busy week next week, so I'm making the most of every restful second today! Aaaahhh...tea and a biscuit me-thinks!
Love you all xxx
