Navy & Mustard

Impulse

For the past 3/4 years, I've been dying my hair every couple of months, regardless of cost (usually it was free though :)) if I saw a colour I liked, I had to have it.

BUT

My mum's set me a challenge to see if I can make it to Christmas without dying my hair. I'll probably crack under the pressure of roots and just manky colour, but I'm desperate to get this colour and length back;

James Morrison

I have huge love for the smooth singing crooner, and whilst watching him live the other day I couldn't help but feel completely mesmerized by his lyrics.

--------------

I'm gonna stay
You can't push me too far
There's no space in my heart
Where I don't wanna love you

--------------

And it kicks so hard,
it breaks your bones.
Cuts so deep
it hits your soul.
Tears your skin and
makes your blood flow.
It's better that you know,
That love is hard.

--------------

I was meant to tread the water
Now I've gotten in too deep
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away

'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart

I totally recommend everyone to get his two albums, they're beautiful, and he's even better live.

I'm convinced that my hair hasn't grown a centimeter since I cut it all off last September, so I've decided to bleach a few streaks so I can keep track on the lovely roots that'll soon follow.

I'm Sorry

I'm actually appalling at this, and I put most blame on the fact I'm very lazy, but also that exams are slowly creeping upon me so I'm trying to put little bits of revision in here and there so I don't feel totally over whelmed in June!

I bought a lovely FujiFilm Finepix S1000 a while ago, waited for it for 5/6 weeks, and still haven't really used it! I was hoping to get into making outfit posts and my buys and things I see/like but I can't find the time! In the mornings I'm usually pretty late, and on nights out I tend to get ready at friends houses!

However, I do have some ideas for this blog when I start uni! Obviously I won't see my home friends much so they can check up with what I'm doing on here, and also there are loads of cheap shops over in the UK so I can buy some stuff and show you! I want to get into posting over at The High Street.

I will try and get my life back on track ASAP, honest! Whilst I'm here, I'll tell you all that I've recently dyed my hair the reddy/brown colour I wanted a whilst back and I actually love it! Now I just need to wait for my horrid fringe to grow out, then I'll hopefully have hair I can live with!

Has anyone got any fun ideas for things to do with your hair whilst you're waiting for a fringe to grow out?

University

I keep getting mixed emotions towards University, one minute I'm dead set and so excited and mentally picking out how my room will be, and the next I'm so frightened I'm two steps away from withdrawing my application. So I thought it was best to compile a list of reaons why I'm going to University.

a) You didn't attend all those mind-numblingly boring assemblies for nothing, you did them so that you had the best knowledge possible on the whole application process.

b) Writing that personal statement was such a chore, but getting told it was a good read and not having to change anything was a very positive compliment from someone who made so many others slave over theirs for ages.

c) The course you're doing sounds fantastic, the work experience and abroad opportunities sound amazing, and it doesn't seem stuck up and competitive.

d) Walking around the halls of Southampton Solent gave you an epiphany. This is where you need to be in September, nothing else will give you that same feeling, don't you remember visiting the Victorian Workhouse tha was Portsmouth?

e) Let's not deny one of the main factors for going to University - SHOPPING! Being right next to West Quay will probably have its downfalls (You'll most likely be skint all the time) but imagine all the lovely clothes you could get!

f) Having a break from the people you've spent the last 17 years with. Yes, it'll be hard to be away from your close friends and brother (and occasionally the rest of your family!) but it'll make you cherish time with them more once you're home.

g) AND FINALLY - this is the experience of a LIFE TIME! You want to hold off working full time for as long as you can! Enjoy the culture change, enjoy the drunken nights and enjoy meeting a whole bunch of new people!!

I'm Counting Down The Minutes Until Friday
