As I Am - Part I

Well I'm sat here trying my best to avoid starting my assignment, I don't even know what the question is yet and I've not even done all the coursework so I'm really dreading starting it right now to be honest. It's due on Thursday and it's 2000 words and I don't feel like doing it in all honesty but I have no choice. Today I am meant to get as much done as I can, I find the first 500 words and the last 500 words the hardest because they are the ones that include the introduction, the start, the ending and the conclusion so it's the main part of the assignment that I do find the easiest part of the lot but it's the bits where I don't know what I'm quite doing or wanting to say etc that I find the hardest. I did have a goal today of doing around 800 words but the way things look I might have to settle for 500 but no less. That will take me ages because once I read the question I will have to look back in my course books for inspiration and spend a few hours writing some notes and will often have to keep looking back at things. When I start this I don't know but I certainly won't be going to bed until I've done 500--800 words and if I'm still sat here at 2am doing them then so be it!!

For all those of you who know me well enough you'll know that I barely (rarely) ever eat chocolate but for the past 2 weeks I've been having at least one a day and that's not good for my diet but I just seem to be craving them and need to get off them so tomorrow I'm going cold turkey. I'm actually sat here with one of those massive ones in front of me and my choice of chocolate bar right now is Cadbury's Dairy Milk with Caramel. But I need to kick this habit so this will be my last one for a long time hopefully, I feel stressed today hence the size of the chocolate bar but also they are only £1 in Asda haha.

I got two really good albums this week, one of which I've wanted for a long time...it's called The Very Best Of Legends - The Definitive Collection. There is a lot of the good oldies on this one, I know it won't be everyones cup of tea but there are a load of songs on here that I think are totally amazing. The second album I got was Alicia Key's new album As I Am which is also very good, I've been listening to it on and off for the last 3/4 days and I'm really enjoying it and I must say it's her best album to date and I'd highly recommened it.

Talking of good things I've bought this week, I got Stardust, finally, and I LOVE IT!! It is fantastic!! I couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD and I finally got it on Tuesday in Tesco and it's just amazing. I read the book about 2 years ago and that was just wonderful and the film is such a good adaptation of the book. The characters actually looked how I'd pictured them in my head as I read the book so that made the film even more wonderful to watch. I did start to watch it again in bed last night but I was so tired I must of fallen asleep around 15 minutes into it. If you've not seen it then you should get it because it's utterly brilliant!!

The week has been filled with work for me, it's good when I have so much work to do because I prefer to be doing something although I find it tiring especially with coursework too. My dad came home with a new job the othernight and it's the neatest set of books/paperwork I've ever seen so I'm happy plus it also saves time too but there are 100s of things like invoices etc in there so there is up to a weeks work in it although looking at it, it didn't look that much until I started to go through it. I still have a job to do which I will be finishing tomorrow but I am sure it'll take me the whole day to get that done and I've also got to work on my assignment too so this week it looks like it's going to be long days for me. I'll certainly be glad when this week is out of the way.

I had my nails done on Thursday and I am so pleased with them. They look amazing and I keep catching myself looking at them. They felt really strange at first and I've had to learn how to do things with them because I can't do things how I did before I had them done and the hardest thing is texting. They took a lil while to do but they look so good, at first it was a shock seeing them like this but now I just think they look great and I'm so happy with them
Hmm...what else?..erm....(!) Nothing too exciting really, I discovered a really great magazine called ZEST which is probably one of the best and most imformative magazines I've ever read. In fact I am so impressed with it I have ordered a subscription which starts in April. Well actually I ordered two...why two? Well I'd forgotten I'd ordered one and then ordered another one and I can't get out of it because I paid upfront rather than monthly and they said the best they can do is start the subscriptions months apart so I thought that was good because I could start one when the other one finished in twelve months but that isn't the case, the longest they will let me start them apart is four months so I'm going to get the same issue twice for eight months but I guess I could always give it to someone. I am just a bit of an idiot for even doing it twice, I did one late at night when I was really tired and the other one I did the next morning thinking I'd only been on and had a look so in future I will only do things when I'm not tired.
I was meant to go and get myself a new TV yesterday and then that changed to today but with no assignment started and me not at the word count I want to be it won't be happening today, it won't be happening until I can spare a couple of hours to go and get one, I might get one on Thursday if I get the time because I am going to see my mum with her mother's day gifts because she gets back from Cyprus at 8pm on Wednesday so I'm going over Thursday afternoon providing my assignment is done, if it is I can also go and get myself a new TV.

I guess I should end this here and get my lunch so then I can come back and sit down and start my assignment. Dancing on Ice is on later too which I'm looking forward to.
