Stay Positive

Since my last post I've been really focusing hard on staying positive and keeping a clear mind. I've definitely still got a long way to go but I am slowly getting there. It's only really when I let myself think deeply that I get down, but I'm keeping busy with fitness classes, uni work and spending time with my friends here in Falmouth. 

I've got an exciting week ahead of me. Wednesday I'm going surfing which I'm really looking forward to. Thursday I'm visiting the eden project and spending the night there in aid of a homeless charity. The Eden Project is such a beautiful place as it is and at the moment they've got an ice rink and lots more going on in the evening during the sleep out. On Friday and Saturday I have my two favourite fitness classes which are 'Spinning' and 'Swiss Ball'. Both of which are extremely intense but are the two key ingredients to a huge change in my body and I am enjoying them both immensely. 

I went to pilates for the first time last week and I'm not sure if I see the point in it yet, but after only one session I don't think I've yet given it a chance. It seemed extremely easy but perhaps it's a slow and gradual change to the core rather than the more intense core workouts I do with the Swiss Ball class. I think I might give it another go and also try Yoga with the surf team when they have a class. 

The flat and I are determined to win this years christmas hamper for the best Christmas decorations. We've spent hours making paper chains, snowflakes, snow men and origami stars to put all over the flat. We're going to buy a christmas tree tinsel and some fake snow for the windows so that basically means we're going to win! Our flat Christmas meal is going to be on the 25th of November because that seems the most logical as we go home a week later. We also have the Snow Ball coming up which is one of the biggest events of the year for Falmouth University. Theres a santos grotto and real Reindeer... EXCITING.

That is all for now, Ciao x

Reflection

I'm currently sat in the library and it's half past 8pm. I plan on staying here until late so what's a little time out to write a post hey!

Today I'm feeling especially down about things. One certain thing in particular. It's starting to really sink in that I've truly lost someone who gave me the best summer of my life. In fact the best time of my life. I've never been so happy and content in someone's presence. He was an incredible person to spend my summer with and it's truly heartbreaking that we no longer talk.

I understand that this is something extremely personal but it's hard to keep it in sometimes and I'm not really comfortable discussing things verbally even with the closest of people. I'm not going to go into the gory details of it all because it's not necessary. I just need to write down that I am hurting a lot at the moment, but I'm trying everything I can to see the positive in things.

In fact there's lots of positives. I'm at University doing a degree which is just mad; I never thought I'd get into a university! I live with amazing people who make a cold, rainy day like today seem okay and never fail to put a smile on my face. I have a wonderful family who are so supportive and have helped me get to where I am so much. I have lots of exciting travels coming up such as Costa brava with two of the girls I live with in June, Amsterdam in July! Next week I'm doing a sleep out for charity in aid of the Homeless which I'm really looking forward to. I'm currently applying to study in Holland next year for a semester... yeah I know, WOW!!!

So I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and there is 9 time out of 10 a smile on my face. But today and this evening especially I've let myself dwell just to let it out, because it's healthy to do that. I've spent time bottling things up before and it only damages you more. But now it's out, I can put my smile back on my face.

I'm going to go back and enjoy my essay planning and pages upon pages of reading to do on really really exciting theories of Animation. If you can sense the sarcasm, well done.

Stay positive.

Halloween

Halloween this year I decided to dress up as a Black Cat. I know right, so original! My flatmates and I put so much effort into decorating the flat and dressing up. We bought sweets, carved pumpkins, made cupcakes and made a fishbowl of sex on the beach with ice cube eyeballs floating in it! First ever Halloween party hosted in our flat and it was a huge success!
