I am in third year at University now, which has been absolute CHAOS. I am currently writing my dissertation, which has been the sole focus of my life since January. I had a bit of a nightmare with it, as I had to get full ethical approval to carry out the study I wanted to do. It wasn't difficult as such, it was just a lengthy process and meant I started data collection much later than I had anticipated. ANYWAY. All data has been collected: if you are reading this and you took part, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I owe all of my success to you. And if I fail my diss... ;) I am kidding. But on a serious note, thank you so much to everyone who helped me out. It made such a big difference and you will never know how grateful I am!
To all that don't have a clue what I am on about, I am writing a dissertation surrounding how the direction of attention can influence our memories and emotions based around a "traumatic" event. It's actually quite interesting, and surprisingly under-researched as I am coming to find... but I have enjoyed it so far so hopefully it will get better.
In other news, I have started living healthily! Well, this sounds drastic... I haven't cut cheese or chocolate out of my life entirely, and yes, as I am writing this, I am eating a millionaire's shortbread mini-bite. HOWEVER. I have not eaten the entire box, and I have not been over-indulging on the foods I know are bad for me. I have also really taken to the gym again after a busy period and lots of time off from it. Even though I am super busy at the moment, I am taking the time to attend Legs, Bums and Tums, Pilates, Dance.. and just ordinary gym sessions when I can. I have started running... and set my new personal best of 36 minutes at a 5k, which I was SO excited about as I am completely not athletic at all.
What else has happened... hmm...
I have seen my lovely boyfriend a few times, had a few crazy gin and tonic nights with my housemate (which were awesome), seen my family, finally got my Tinkerbell tattoo (picture below), dyed my hair purple, and then accidentally dyed my roots orange (more on that to come), fixed my hair (sort of)... oh yeah... and I WENT TO DUBAI. More on that soon... I want to do a whole blog post about that weekend as it was phenomenal. But yes. A lot has happened since I last wrote on this blog!
Anyway, if you have managed to get to the bottom of this, thanks for reading and I hope I didn't bore you too much! Stay tuned for more exciting blog posts to come... I'M BACK.
