"I'm Blogging Here, I'm Blogging Here!"

So I'm bored, and I'm writing a blog before uni tomorrow. Deal with it.

So far my 2013's been pretty awesome, but there's not much time for anything to have gone wrong, so its probably not an indicator for the year as a whole.
There has been two bad things, but more on those later. Yeah, watch me build up suspense and tension.

What have been the good things that have happened you ask?
To be honest in the grand scale of good things to happen in the world, they probably don't rank very highly, or even at all, but for me they were pretty great.
PS. Saw The Hobbit last year, but it was AMAZING and I'm seeing it again with the wee sister this week for her birthday.

1) After 3 months Young Justice came back. And it was kick-ass. To be fair it's always kick-ass, but Before The Dawn was really just an excellent 22 minutes of television. By anyone's standards. And if you don't trust me, trust tv.com; they reviewed it and loved it too.

2) I rewatched all 3 seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I know that out of two things on this list so far they've both been 'kids' tv shows, but seriously you cannot judge either by their intended audience. A:TLA won sooo many awards and was constantly named one of the best animation series ever by both adults and children alike. I fell in love quite late, in October 2007 on my flight to Florida, where I spent all 9 hours of the overnight flight solely watching it. It's seriously brilliant. The story is so original and engrossing, and the animation is simply stunning and breathtaking. Seriously, if you've never seen it, give it a go. You'll probably be surprised. It holds a 9.1 rating from over 50,000 users on IMDB, so that tells you how amazing it is. So yeah, WATCH IT

3) I found my favourite hat and began a renewed obsession. It's quite a plain hat: grey and beanie style, but it's just great.
See, it's great.

4) Finally got more pictures up in my room and got my 3d Hobbit cover and my Iron Man 3 poster up. #winning

5) MERLIN CALENDAR AND SEASON 1 BOXSET FOR CHRISTMAS
Needs no more explanation of awesomeness.

6) I've got Thursdays and Fridays free this trimester at university so can hopefully get a job and contribute to petrol money/food bills for the house.

7) My hair is finally starting to go nice when left naturally. Although if I brush it, all hell breaks loose.
Curly hair!!!! And all I did was brush my fringe #winning

8) We found out Sarah has a boyfriend named Steven. And the best part? She genuinely thinks he's really ugly. I know looks aren't everything/ all that important, but surely you have to be physically attracted to your boyfriend in some way? And considering Sarah's room is covered in half naked 'hot' men I find this really hilarious

9) My dad got my mum the best Christmas present ever. Hamish the Highland Cow. And he's a pillow.

How awesome is Hamish? Pretty awesome.















10) This exchange from my family in the car about holidays:
Mum: "What about Holland, Brian says there's a good campsite there."
Lauren: "But I don't want to go to Holland! I want to go abroad!"
Mum: "Holland is abroad."
Sarah: "Er Mum, Holland's down south"
Mum: "Trust me, it's across the North Sea"
Sarah: "No.. that's Ireland."
Mum: "Ireland's on the other side of Scotland"
Dad: "I thought Holland was in France?"
Lauren: "Wait, are we going to Ireland?"
I've never laughed so much in the Zafira.

And now to the bad.

There's really only been two bad things happen and one of them has severely pissed me off.
I took an 'online' module because it seemed better than Plant Science (mainly because plants: boring, and because it was online compared to Plant Science's 9-5 Thursdays and Fridays)
However, it turns out the university lied to me! I have to go to a lecture on Monday mornings 10-12 for my module (which is called The psycho-social perspectives of science: Health, Illness and the Body by the way, and has lectures entitled "Social Inequalities and Health Status: The Social Context of Health and Disease", "The Rise of the Biomedical Model and Scientific Medicine" and my personal favourite: "Loss, Death and Dying". Unfortunately, I have absolutely no interest in the subject at all, and I've already decided I hated when my lecturer sent an email to an "extremely interesting" article on "Does Lead Poisoning Make Subjects Violent?". God I hope we get to test this on each other.
But aside from the existence of a lecture, it's timings mean that every second week it clashes with my tutorial for another module. All of my friends are in my tutorial group, so I don't want to change at the time when everyone's in the same groups from last year and has already got their friendship groups.

So yeah, suggestions for what to do would be nice.

And the other bad thing that I've been building suspense up to?
This: 

 I was trying to watch Snow White and the Huntsman, but it still had a security tag on it. So somehow I thought it would be a bright idea to use knives to lever the security tag out. It wasn't. I had a wee knife pushing the tag up while using a big knife to get under the tag and wiggle it out. I wiggled too hard, and sent the knife about a centimetre deep into my finger. Which doesn't sound like a lot, but trust me it is. Especially since it basically runs the length of my finger. I did have the finger just plastered up, but every time it got bent it would crack and bleed again, so I've had to immobilise it with proper dressings and surgical tape. And as bizarre as it sounds, you use your index finger a lot more than you think you do. Writing, typing, even flushing the loo (we've got button flushes instead of handles in the bathroom) is really difficult with my right hand. And Practical Biology on Wednesday isn't going to be much fun. Just so long as I'm not doing microbiology, wouldn't want it getting infected with e-coli or something...

And now I've freaked myself out.

So yeah, it's only been 2 weeks, and it's been pretty great. Although I did manage to spend £40, get reeeally drunk and end up walking home from Tollcross to George Street at 3.30am past policemen and everything while Fisher got a taxi because she'd lost me. Hopefully that doesn't happen again anytime soon.

Bring on the next 50 weeks

    1. Yay for Caitlin blog; they are few and far between :D
      And the first one was webcam, the rest were the iphone camera which so far either consists of my face to send pictures of to you, and pictures of Ellie sleeping/generally being cute
