A whole new adventure...

An expression of my thoughts and feelings on my OT journey, both personal and professsional.

I'm finished.

Yesterday I finished university. 4:01pm I finished my exam and en mass we headed to the pub. We had a drink and said goodbye to our classmates as we aren't going to the OT party and headed into town for dinner.

We watched Seth Lakeman at town hall, which was an amazing way to end the three years. The gig was fantastic despite the weird awkward moment I had when I literally bumped into him and was unable to say anything, I just stared, open mouthed and embarrassed as he spoke to me. I love him. :(

Today Katie and I went for a celebratory lunch as we couldn't go to the party, which was lovely!

I don't think it has sunk in yet.

The best weekend ever!!!

It really was!!!
I spent Thursday night at Casa del Jammin, where we put the Christmas tree up, and decorated it, listening to christmassy songs, and watched Christmas films, and were joined by Kate and Victoria intermittently. Stayed up talking with Jas in bed until the early morning, and crashed there as I didn't want to walk home!
Woke up to the news of the first round of act announcements for the iow festy, and then remembered I was seeing Seth Lakeman that evening - best morning ever!
So we (Katie, Suzanne and I) managed to actually sit through 3 hours of Research methods without running off in excitement! Suzanne drove us to her flat in Moreten-in-marsh, which I absolutely adore!!! Where we had dinner before getting ready to drive to Cheltenham.

Christmas songs and Seth songs in the car...and a little detour, it was fun! I was so excited when we got there, but I was right, most of the audience were middle aged men! haha.
The support act wasn't great - she had a good singing voice but played weird instruments that kinda made groaning noises, which we didn't enjoy.


Seth came on, woah was amazing! All the band are fantastic, especially the double Bass player. There were a few hiccups with the sound system but it was the first night of the tour. He played lots of new material, and revamped a few of the older songs. He played a couple of my favourites, but missed out loads I'd love to hear him play again. He played Kitty Jay (see video above), and it was absolutely bloody amazing! Even though the strings of the bow broke he continued to play, it was awesome! The hour and a half he played seemed to go so quickly, I couldn't believe it when they played the encore. But he then announced he'd be going out to have a chat with the fans and sign Cds.
'Love Seth' My signed Cd.

Got out to the merchandise table, and grabbed a CD, and looked up and there he was smiling away and chatting to the lady in front of me. Think I had a 'moment' with seth. Even though I just stared, mouth open, possibly dribbling. Even when he said 'Hi, how are you?' I was still stood there open mouthed, dribbling. And,then he signed my cd. Amazing! I was totally star stuck it was crazy haha. Katie and Suzanne said they were surprised at how short he was!
My yummy treacle tart. 

Saturday morning we spent on the sofa watching TV and drinking tea, before heading out to nose in all the little shops. We had a lovely day walking around, and got the yummiest pastries from a café. Then got the train back to Oxford.

Today I did a bit more xmas shopping and looked around the market in the Castle, with all the lights and the carol singers it was brilliant!

Because I haven't found the time to post in ages...

...I think I'm going to write a proper essay before starting on a real essay...

I spent a fantastic weekend in Market Harborough with my lovely aunt and uncle. It was sooo relaxing, and nice I felt that not only was I on holiday, but staying in a hotel!! Definately wouldn't mind living in Market Harborough, it's soooo pretty!! And the chinese restaurant there is yummy!!
Spent monday in london, in Covent Market, and I loved it! just wondered around, lost all track of time!! Had a lovely lunch with my uncle! Oxford, Birmingham, Leicestershire, london...I travelled a fair bit this weekend!!!!:P
I also was treated to a bit of shopping, essential food shopping, now my cupboards are superful, so thanks so much!!
I really did have a lovely time, hope I wasn't too much trouble, thank you very much for having me!!!! P.s. Would love to come up again soon...*hint hint* haha. xx

I only have four 'tasks' for this semester left! I'm half way through one, so should be done in the next few days; on task with another; my mcq I can't do until I've had all my sessions; and my ocse is scheduled for the 14th Dec!!
This semester is going sooooooooooo quickly. I love my course, my lecturers are all great, so passionate about what they teach it's inspiring!
I had a session on schizophrenia last friday, it was part of my concepts module. It was a bit of revision from when I did it in psychology, but I learn more about the interventions rather than the biochemistry, which I'd already learnt (and disliked due to the lack of solid evidence).

I have had the most AMAZING WEEKEND EVER!!!! (thanks Jac!!! xxxxxxxxxx)
Travelled down on saturday to watch the lovely Seth Lakeman, for the second time :D
He was brilliant!! Ah I love him so much, really would marry this man!! It went by so quickly though :( Could have listened to him for hours!! Got a lovely snuggley Seth hoody!! Anyone who hasn't heard him, Youtube him! He's amazing!

Then I got to spend a few hours with ben before travelling home!!

So I've had a lovely couple of weeks. Not long til Xmas now...Yay! Except I've sort of ran out of money to buy the rest of my Xmas presents with...So err yeah, Sorry if they sort of suck this year!!! :D
