Hello!
It's been a hectic last few weeks, coursework deadlines flying everywhere. I
finished my 5-week art direction course two weeks ago, I'm glad it's done now
so I can concentrate on my coursework, but I miss it because it was very interesting
and fun. I built my own model set for "Barton Fink”, and even decorated the
teeny tiny bathroom!
I went
out to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert with a couple of friends last Monday.
It was very camp and very funny, a really enjoyable night, hopefully I'll be
able to see Shrek the Musical in the New Year. Maybe even Matilda the musical
as well. I'm a fan of Tim Minchin and he's written the songs for it, so that
alone has to be worth the admission price.
I have 4
deadlines all within 3 days of each other so haven't even made it to the cinema
for the last month, but as soon as the deadlines are passed I will be making my
way to "Puss in Boots" and any others that take my fancy. I have been
taking a break from coursework to watch Strictly Come Dancing and The X factor,
it was a good dress night the other night on strictly, as I particularly enjoy
the outfits. My favourite was Alex but she was sadly voted out at the weekend
so I will now be supporting my boyfriend’s favourite – Jason. The X factor final
has come and gone, and to be honest I missed the final. Even the Semi final was
disappointing, but watched that in a house with my friends and their children,
which made it more fun.
Last
Sunday I went out for a meal in "The Cricketers" in Clavering. It's
actually owned by Jamie Oliver's parents and the food was amazing. We went
there for my boyfriend's mum's birthday. I had butternut squash soup for
starter and Mushroom and Truffle Risotto for main course. It was so filling but
felt that I had to finish it as it was so nice. I would definitely recommend
it!
Christmas
is coming sooner than expected; I am so unprepared, the preparations being put
back by deadlines! Next week I'll be going to the new Westfield shopping centre
in Stratford, to catch up and definitely go into the LEGO store.
It is my
sister’s twenty fifth so we are off out for dinner; at least I can relax and
enjoy it as the coursework rush is over, double celebration. Hopefully I will
be able to go and see “Puss in Boots” before my next blog as I do love a movie
review!
