Sarah's 21st

My friends and I all went out for my housemate Sarah's 21st birthday! We started off with some drinks at ours, then headed to the Hilton in Deansgate, Manchester to their Cloud 23 bar. The place was amazing! The view is basically of the whole of Manchester and is gorgeous to be there at night when the whole city is illuminated is beautiful! 

We then headed off to a club called Bijou which was good as there was a live saxophone player and great music. Of course we all got extremely drunk and had a great time! We are all out again tomorrow for Pout, which we go most Mondays then this weekend I'm off to Nottingham for my friend from home, Hannah's 22nd birthday celebrations! Thank god I've bought lots of new dresses!

What I've Been Up To

Well its been around 2 weeks since I got back from Disneyland Paris for NYE and I'm back in Manchester at University. Its nice to back be up here with my flatmates (pictured above) as we've been going out for meals and planned lots of shopping trips. Unfortunately we all seem to have really bad timetables without the same mornings off so the nights out maybe less frequent :(. 

One more term until my exams and then I'm done for the summer! So far I have 3 holidays booked, lucky me! First off to Disneyland Paris in March/ April for my birthday trip with my Mum & Step Dad. Then off to Spain in late June with my flatmate Sarah as she has a place around 15 minutes from Marbella, so should be a great holiday of partying, drinking and sunbathing. Then 3 weeks l'm off to Ibiza with my friends from Essex! We all went together in 2010 so will be sort of a reunion as we all love it there! Also got to book flights to Ireland in September as my friend who travelled with me after my Disney College program, Ciara, her older sister Niamh is getting married there and I'm very excited as I've never been to Ireland; just hope the weathers nice! My other flatmate Hannah wants us to all go skiing at the end of the year, I've never been before but it sounds like fun to me!

Apart from that just got 1 essay, 1 portfolio and 2 reports to hand in mid March so I'm sure I'll be a hermit crab again from end of February! At least I have lots to look forward to, to get me through!

November

With the end of November fastly approaching I was thinking how much I've done this month! With all the placement meetings and interviews for Disney, Canada and South Carolina! Also been trying to do all my essays and reports for class so I can leave Manchester early to spend more time in Essex over the christmas period. My lovely friend Ciara (who came travelling with me at the end of the Disney Summer program) has booked us in for a 2 night spa stay with treatments! So excited and the place looks amazing you can see it here, its called the Lighthouse spa in Thorpe le soken (which is very close to my house!). Will be really nice to relax and spend some time with one of the besties again!

We are also planning a shopping trip to Westfield shopping centre in London which looks incredible as it has a Forever 21 and a Wagamama along with all my other favourite stores! Still need to book Disneyland Paris for my birthday trip, which I'm very excited about as just found out their new parade should be there by then!

Back To Manchester I Go

Finally, I can unpack properly! Emma, Sarah, Hannah & I have moved into our new apartment in Manchester and I love it! Spent freshers week getting settled in and drunk! Was great to see the Northern girls again (I completely forgotten about their accents until I got here again!)

Back to classes and its our final year before placements, got lots more hours and this wonderful new class called 'Work Based Learning' which basically enforces us to do more volunteering (which i do anyway) and run our own event; which my groups one will be taking place in January. It will give us a chance to put our skills to use and to see if we've actually learnt anything! 

Here's some photo's from freshers week
