Mad or Stupid?

So its been a couple of days since my last post, thought I'd update and let everyone know the mad (and possibly rather stupid) things I've been doing. The most recent being that I've just finished a can of Relentless energy drink and I'm now sat wide awake with a 9am lecture looming and no sign of going to sleep soon. Oops.

In terms of stupid and mad things, I've bought a few things. I got an I-Pod touch. I've been wanting one for ages and decided to get one. I also got a CD full of running songs. This means that when I've been on the Zumba a few times and I'm beginning to feel a bit more confident in myself, I am going to start running (again, 3rd time lucky and all that jazz!)

I've also bought some purple Converse. I think that explains itself ;) been wanting Converse for years too. And since I do have 2 jobs at the moment, I decided that maybe I can afford to get a few things now which will last me longer than getting the cheap crap I normally do.

I've hardly bought DVDs, gone off them at the moment. Although I do need to finish my Dr Who, Torchwood, Merlin and Being Human box sets. I hate having a couple of the series instead of them all. Its one of my OCDs - probably passed on by my delightful eldest sister or my mother.

In terms of fitness, haven't really had much opportunity to do any. If I'm not at uni, I'm at one of the jobs. One the rare occasions that I do have some daytime free from uni and work, I'm sat attempting to start my dreaded dissertation :( Sad times. However, I do know exactly what I'm doing but its slightly boring and complex and considering its nearly 1am, I can't be bothered to go into it right now!

Haven't done any more to my book. Well, I've not typed any more but I've been thinking hard about how I can develop the plot and my characters more.

The main thing going through my mind this week has been the future. I've been with my boyfriend for over 6 years now and we've started talking (well I say we have, more like I've mentioned it and he's just nodded....) about the possibility of moving in together when I finish uni this year. However, its more my career which I've been struggling to decide upon. When I started my course, I had my heart set on becoming an English teacher at secondary school level. However, the last 2 years have given me the chance to think hard about it and I'm not entirely sure that being a teacher is what I want to do. I know I want to do something within the Education sector, however I think I would prefer to try and go into the political side. The obvious end path for that career is to be Secretary of State for Education (SSE) (what Michael Gove currently does) but I've had a few people (close people who know me very well) hint that I'm not the most politically minded person.

Maybe I should look into this more. Hmm.

Well its getting late (or early, depending on how you look at it) so I think I shall attempt to lose some energy by tidying my room (yet again...I swear this mess appears by itself!) Any ideas on the whole SSE thing would be appreciated!

New Beginnings...

So, this is my first blog, well my first proper one. I've never really know what to say in them but I guess I'm at that part of my life where I feel like I should at least try right?

I guess the main reason I wanted to start this blog is because, since no one will probably read this, its a place where I can rant and also where I can write down ideas for the weird creative things that run through my head, such as story ideas, compositions, poems, songs etc.

I'm not sure if I'm any good but I would absolutely love to have a book published. I've been trying to write an amazing book since I was around 10 years old. I wrote one and had it sent to a publisher, however got told that since I was under 18, I was too young.

This blog will also be an outlet for me while I attempt (yet again) to lose weight and start running. I'm planning on getting a Nintendo Wii and Zumba in the next couple of days. I'm going to Spain in March area with my Mum and sister and 2 nieces. For this, I want/need to be a size 14 at the most. Since I am currently a size 18, this gives me around 6 months to go down 2 dress sizes. This should be do-able.

I can't remember a time when I wasn't "fat". I hate the term though, especially since I have family and friends who complain they're fat when they're a size 8 :/

Anyway, rant over....

I'm off to work on my "book" :)
