Talk of the Toon: A Second Year Study Blog

your hair looks amazing
good luck with the interview, you'll smash it

OMG, I am SO impressed that you cut your own hair and that it looks so good! If I cut my own hair, it would not look like that

I enjoyed Rocketman I guess you're a bit young for Elton John films though

Good luck with the interview. I am crossing my fingers that you are happier and healthier this year - sounds like a really good thing to aim for

Hmmm I'm guessing a haircut doesn't cost eight quid for you then

Good luck with the goals!

Nice hair

Love your hair gal!

Still can't believe you were brave enough to cut your own hair Looks great though
Good luck with your goals! Tap is super fun Although I'm awful at it I'm sure you'll be a lot better!

hey folks this week's been a bit weird but it's been alright won't waste any time - i'll just get into it

sunday
so I got up and ready bright and early for my video interview for online tutoring. I thought it went ok, but I knew I messed up when I was asked to go through my PREPARED question, and I don't think I answered other questions very well either. then I mainly just chilled for the rest of the day, went to morrisons I think, and my last friend arrived in the evening. she went out for tea and then when she got back we all sat in the living room and just chatted over some drinks. started off nice and chill and we were playing games etc but as it got later we started talking about deeper stuff and there were tears but it was good to get everything out of our systems lol and now we're all good I think haha

monday
on monday a couple of my friends had to go into uni to do peer mentor/student ambassador duties, and I went into town to grab some bits and bobs - didn't end up returning with a right lot though don't think I did much after that really. oh I also found out that I didn't get the job, which I wasn't surprised about lol. haven't looked elsewhere yet but I probably will at some point. I want money lol

tuesday
we had induction stuff at uni so we had to be in for half 9. the first talk was meant to be an hour long but ended up lasting 20 mins and really could have just been an email. the second talk was cancelled so we went to the clubs and societies fair. I spoke to people for dance, yoga and fell walking and I think I'm deffo gonna join the first 2 after that we just went up into the penthouse for a bit and chilled for what felt like forever, before going to our final session - computing refresher. we refreshed on matlab and honestly I don't think I ever actually knew any of it to start with tbh, I knew nothing on tuesday ended up getting everything right with lots of help from google so that was good



after that we met up with one of our friends from last year who transferred elsewhere, and we had a nice little catch up before going home. it was absolutely CHUCKING it down so we decided to get an uber home which was a very wise decision then in the evening we all randomly decided to get drunk and play uno so we did that which was fun until I was sick lol

wednesday
wanted to just have a pj day today as I felt just quite bleh (not hungover before anyone assumes lol). didn't really sleep too well tues night so just kept drifting in and out of sleep until around 10am when I finally got up. downloaded the new mario kart game and played that for ages before going upstairs and having yet another nap. that one did help though and I felt a lot better after it. I then got ready and went into town to buy some last minute stuff that I needed before coming home and chilling out. decided to do my nails in the evening and caught up with 3 episodes of taskmaster which was fun.

thursday-saturday
can't say a lot about these days but I was away from newcastle between thursday morning and saturday evening. got back home at around 8 last night where I watched the remaining bit of strictly and then we watched twilight cos we wanted something to laugh at. once that had finished I called my sister and chilled before sleeping

sunday (today)
today I had the taster session for beginners tap and it was INTENSE it started off alright but then when we had to do it fast I just lost it every time I went with a friend which was really good - catch us practicing in the kitchen looool the music was super good tho, we warmed up to a bit of lizzo, then did some other things to some other songs I can't remember but I definitely liked, and then towards the end we were taught the beginning of a dance to boogie wonderland which is SUCH A TUNE tap is so cheesy I love it. I'm rubbish and my balance is awful but I enjoyed the session and I'm deffo gonna keep going. after that had finished I went shopping in town cos I needed some bits, then I came home and had lunch and now I'm here

hope everyone's had a good week - this week coming is gonna be very busy for me as you'll see in the next update I'm sure, but I'll still try and do it! also sorry this is a day late as you can see I was busy yesterday

until next time
