But I am such a savoury girl. So I thought I'd go for it and make some cheese and spinach muffins. I don't know why I chose spinach as I live with 4 very picky boys. The other 1 and the girls enjoyed them but next time I'll re think the filling for next time. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I followed this recipe in the humming bird bakery book but would make a few changes for when I make them next - </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>30g butter</i></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>1 tsp cayenne pepper</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>250g chedder cheese, grated</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>220ml whole milk</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>1 egg</i></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><i>Put the flour,baking powder, cayenne and cheese in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk and egg together, then slowly pour into the flour mixture and beat with ta handheld electric whisk until all the ingredients are well mixed. <b>(by this point, my mix was basically more like a dough than a mixture!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><i>Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until two third full and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until deep golden and the sponge bounces back when touched. <b>(I had to ball together the ingredients to break it up into the cases. After doing it once, I now know I'd use my silicone cases make them and then put them in cases after they've been cooked as they get totally stuck) </b>A skewer inserted in the centre should come out clean. <b>(the masses of cheese make this hard to judge!) </b>Leave the muffins to cool slightly in the tray before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely. </i></span></span></span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tom came over the day I made them and ate so many of them that I only got to try one right at the last moment. I think they worked out pretty well! You can really taste the Cayenne Pepper. Next time I'm going to make them with ham instead of spinach as they boys are fiends for cheese and ham toasties so therefore they can't use allergies and vegetables as their excuse not to try one!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Give them a go!

It's all go. Our classes always start a week earlier than everyone. At the time it's a bit of a nuisance, other uni's have their freshers weeks and parties when we've got classes. But it's amazing at the end of the year, we finish so much earlier than everyone. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having had a Summer of working full time, I was pretty knackered so allowed myself to have 2 weeks off for freshers week and settling into the flat. It's been amazing. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having had a chance to settle in it's been great being back in Dundee. As you can see from the post below, I took part in that Brewdog cooking competition. It turned out that I came first and won a case of the beer I cooked with. Some of the ideas people had were amazing!

</span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been amazing being back in the house to see everyone, especially Cassie.

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today, I'm meant to be researching stuff for one of my modules. You'd think after a whole Summer away from uni I would be okay with getting back into it but I'm struggling! Also, it's quite hard to figure out where to start with this research. Anyone been to any interesting exhibitions recently? We've to look into interactive exhibits.. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Which, hey, I'm not going to complain about, but it's getting a bit boring.. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's not been good for my lack of money either, it's encouraging me to look for new things for my flat online. I've come across some beautiful vintage suitcases at a sale room that I walk passed every day for work. The same one that sold those beautiful padded chairs I posted a photo of a few posts back. Anyway, I'm buying at least one of those for 'attractive' storage in my room. I own a lot of clutter and like to hide it when I'm not using it. Makes sense to have something pretty to keep them in! So hopefully going up to pick one or two of them in the next few days. Excited!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, in this who trolling session, I've been avidly searching out tattoo ideas. I've been considering a tattoo for months now. Well more than that but I've had a solid idea for a while now. I just don't have the guts to go for it. A lot of things worry me about it but I really want one. I've always said that if I do get one, the conditions of its placement would be that it's not visible in my wedding dress and say, at future interviews. This means it has to be central on my body. My idea was to get a teacup in relation to our engagement at Disneyland on the teacups, and generally to represent my sheer <b><i>love of tea</i></b>. After a lot of thought about placements, I have decided my ribs is perfect (but meant to be really sore..). It's hidden but can be shown when I want it shown. Certain dresses might show it, some might not. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>What I need now, is advice! What do you think? Do you think I should go for it?</i></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, the other small problem is that my parents totally freakin' hate tattoos! They said if I ever got one, they'd disown me. Which is extremely dramatic and probably not true. But This means before I did it, I'd have to convince them it was okay. Is it worth it? I don't want them to hate me, but I know they couldn't do that anyway! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In other news, we went to T in the Park on Saturday, as I said in the last post. It was a good laugh, but we got in for free and we weren't especially fussed for a lot of the music so really it was just a nice day out. We got to see our mates we rarely manage to see and seen their band, Woodenbox, play. Which was ace. Also, I managed to convince Tom to come to see Beyonce for a song or two which meant I could call the lovely Polly and leave her a voicemail of Single Ladies. She was very chuffed with that :) </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last night I received this lovely engagement present last night from Tom's parents. It's a charm of two jigsaw parts, one gold and one silver. Sorry the photo isn't fantastic. I can't get a great photo of it as it's small. I thought it was such a lovely thing. I've added it onto my necklace I got for my 21st so it's safe. Don't trust my charm bracelet to be honest. It's a nightmare. <b><i>Anyone got any recommendations for a new charm bracelet? </i></b>I need a new bracelet to hold my charms and need to get them soldered on to keep them safe. I've lost a ton of them, even when they've been soldered on! Nightmare. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm currently at work stressing out abou money but I think blogging will get it off my chest and stop me stressing. I am all finished my work and today and yesterday my boss hasn't been in, I don't know where he is. I need something to do but all the projects I've been working on are either finished or have been passed onto the coders. I can't leave as I need the money, I can't do nothing, thats boring. So I'm blogging :) </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was waiting for my mates to put up photos from a night out I went to last week to blog again but they're not up! Bummer. It was the launch of a mates night in Edinburgh called Pet Rescue and it was such an amazing night! As it's called Pet Rescue, there was a lot of animal themed stuff around but not only that, there was a face painter! I was well into this and was one of the first few to go for it. I was a Tiger for the evening. I will put up a photo soon enough. But anyone from or near Edinburgh should head along to the next night. It's at the Store and is on the last Saturday of the month. Get on it! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some exciting news from my week is that I won tickets to T in the Park this weekend! I'm so excited. It's just a day ticket but it's to the day that is actually sold out and Beyonce is playing. To be honest, I'm not a huge Beyonce fan, but it's going to be a pretty good show so I want to at least see one song! Tom's not convinced though. Other than that, I'll get to see The Strokes again, along with Primal Scream and many more! I'm so excited to be going to a festival because I was starting to lose hope for this Summer! Shame the weather forecast is meant to be absolutely horrible! Oh well, it'll still be fun. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Right, back to it. After my last post, Tom and I went to Spain to have a weeks holiday. It was the most relaxing thing we've ever done. We were staying at my flatmate, Cassie's Gran's flat in Gran Alacant. It was beautiful and we were on our own so free to go see whatever we want, sleep when we want and eat when we want. Amazing. We spent the week driving about, reading and relaxing in the sun. It was beautiful. We came home and realised that we hadn't talked to anyone except when ordering food, which, might I add, I was terrible at. I know absolutely nothing in Spanish, neither does Tom. But regardless, it was amazing. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been a busy bee recently. My job is at full swing and I'm loving it! Although, it's really taking it out of me. I've been so knackered recently. But it's funding my lifestyle pretty well! I also got the good news yesterday, that not only do they want to keep me on during term time at uni working long distance around uni, they want me to come back next summer and the summer after that. He offered me the job for after I graduate. It's so exciting. It means I'm going to be getting so much experience and I'm already working towards a definite graduate job! I'm so happy. So for the last 2 years of uni, I'm going to be working here. No more scrimping and saving with having no job. I can officially work and have nights out. Also, I finally got my engagement ring resized, in fact, it had to be completely overhauled. It's now as good as new and I don't need to worry about it every time I wash my hands! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since Spain, I've been doing my rounds of Degree Shows at Art Schools. Some of the stuff I've seen were amazing. Some, quite frankly, weird. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other night a bunch of us went to an amazing Indian restaurant in Edinburgh called Kismot. We went with the whole intention of making my brother and our mate do the world renowned challenge of the <a href="http://www.kismot.co.uk/kismot-killer/">Kismot Killer!</a> It's the hottest curry in Scotland and only 2 people have managed this one. They've upped their game since last year and they've made it even spicier! Anyway, Andy and Dave went to battle and are still suffering as a result. It was so hot that Andy's eyes were uncontrollably streaming and he spewed after it. Yum. Anyway, neither finished but Andy beat Dave which was what most of us were betting on. </span><br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the main distractions being twitter informing me of<a href="http://www.tigerlilyedinburgh.co.uk/offers/event-offers/cup-cake-decorating-course-with-bibis-bakery/"> Cupcake Decorating Classes with Bibi's Bakery in Edinburgh</a>. It's pretty pricey but you do get a fair bit for the money. It's £55 for the course which lasts 3 and a half hours. It includes a 2 and a half hour long lesson in cake decorating, which includes tips on perfect piped icing and the trick to a flat cake, among other tricks and tips. Along with the lesson, it includes a 2 course lunch and a glass of Moet. It's all done in Tigerlily on George Street, Edinburgh. </span><br />

We surprised him with a sushi shaped cake and some speakers, he was over the moon, the wee cutie. On Friday, Clare and I went for a beautiful cycle to celebrate uni being over. We went from Dundee to Broughty Ferry. It's was a lovely day and once we got there we had a picnic and went to the famous ice cream shop. I had nutella swirl, it was the best. We defo deserved it, we ended up cycling a good 16 km. All while everyone else in our class were sitting in the pub getting wasted. </span><br />

Which oddly enough isn't worrying me for some reason. Which is surprising after how worried I was about this exam about 4 weeks ago. Guess all I needed was a break, or I just need a kick up the butt. Guess I'll find out on Tuesday morning though.. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for my new job, well thats great. I'm now working as an Interface designer at Jelly Media Technologies. It's amazing experience generally but it's turned out that I'm doing exactly what I love doing at uni but for a company, AND getting paid to do it! I'm loving it. So at the moment I'm working 4 days a week there and getting settled in to this whole, 'working in an office' kinda thing. It's a big change from pulling pints all Summer. Which I'm totally going to miss but it's nice to have the security of working 4/5 days a week and always having a weekend off! First two weeks have passed so quickly and sent off my first project to a client the other day and they sent me back some great feedback and general praise. Was well chuffed. </span></div><div class="" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last weekend, Tom and I went to a big family wedding. His cousin was getting married and it was absolutely beautiful. It was at a lovely venue, a house in Markinch called Balbirnie House. The photos are going to be amazing as it was such a lovely sunny day and they were taken out in the gardens. It's given us some little ideas for our wedding. Big family events like those make our engagement feel more real! So many people were like "Oh, it'll be you guys next!". </span><br />

I'm off work for the week till I finish uni next Friday. In fact, I'm totally hoping that the presentations we have on the 29th finish as early as possible so we can go home and play the Royal Wedding Drinking Game! Would quite the fine way to finishing a year at uni! </span><br />

I mean It's suddenly April tomorrow! I am officially half way though my degree and only have a presentation and an exam to get past till it's summer. It's getting a bit ridiculous. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not that I'm complaining. I'm stoked to be heading home to see Tom for basically a solid 5 months! Summer is fantastic in Edinburgh too. Worth checking out if you've never visited. But 5 months off uni means, 5 months working. I do love earning money for myself and being free to go out and drink with mates and having only a small restriction of having a shift at work. But the unfortunate thing is I don't think I'm getting my old job at the pub with Tom back as my bloody brother took my job! Nightmare. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good news though, I heard back from a guy I've known for a while who mentioned he needed some design work done at his company over the summer. He's asked me to pull together any work I've done at uni since coming and show him what experience I have with similar projects. If it all works out, I will be designing an interface for an app his company is developing. I'm well excited at the prospect of getting real world experience and it'll maybe boost my confidence in my work and creativity. It sounds ridiculous that a design student doesn't think she is creative doesn't it? Well I am ridiculous because that's what I think, but if I get this placement I'll hopefully prove myself wrong! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Other than that, nothing exciting has happened this week. I've been blogging like a mad man on my uni blog and tweeting a load about the Aphasia one to try and raise awareness. It's working as the site views have gone up considerably. Can't say that about my uni one, but it's not one of those things that need to be seen. I'll be uploading my folio work on their if anyones curious. Not till the weekend though. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One lovely thing that did happen was that, I received a random bunch of flowers. It turned out it was from Tom's boss congratulating us on our engagement. They're beautiful. </span><br />

Please take a few moments out of your days to take a look at this site. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a project we've been doing for university and <b><a href="http://understandaphasia.wordpress.com/">Understand Aphasia</a> </b>is our group's attempt to help raise the awareness of <b><i>Aphasia </i></b>and spread the word to anyone and everyone. Other groups have created installations around the city, made training packs for work places and created flyers for city centres. The blog we have created gives readers a basic understanding of what Aphasia is and how it affects people. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aphasia is a communication impairment which often happens as a result of a stroke. Strokes can happen to people of any age and for no reason. By raising the awareness of Aphasia we can help sufferers recover quicker and they can be understood a lot more. </span><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know this is nothing like a usual post but I'm posting it everywhere I possibly can to spread the word. </span></i><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As part of the project we were also asked to shove together a basic Public Information Film for the cause. Each group took a different approach and it was quite a hard thing to make a video for as it affects people in different ways and we didn't feel right acting as though we had Aphasia. Instead of that approach, we did a short story board.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It would be greatly appreciated if anyone, who would like to help with this cause, could post up any one of the banners included in the website. Or even just link to this post or the website. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This project has been a great learning experience for me and although the projects finishing this week, I feel I'm quite likely to keep the blog going and keep in touch with the group of people we've been working with. </span><br />

It's been rather hectic and busy and I've generally been lacking in motivation to do anything. Saying that, I've not really done a lot worth talking about in my last 12 or so days. I'm looking back and seeing me just watching a massive amount of movies! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, back on to other chat. I had an amazing impromptue trip home on Friday to see Tom and to get some computing help from my dad. I successfully got all my work done super quickly and got to see Tom for ages. The new <a href="http://www.brewdog.com/">Brew Dog</a> pub has just opened in Edinburgh and I'd been dying to go. A horrible fact about me is that I'm a right lad when it comes to beer. I like beer and good real ale at that! Brew Dog is fantastic and their slogan is 'Beer For Punks'. What's not to love? </span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm on a bit of a diet at the moment though so I was only allowed 1 pint and then we left to go have dinner. Tom is without a doubt one of the best cooks I know, other than my mum of course, but he's fantastic. It wasn't the most diet friendly meal but all I'm telling myself is that it's not a real diet. Basically I've cut out bread, cider and beer </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">from my diet along with unnecessary snacking (which is the hardest part!). But it's been okay, obviously I had to make an exception on the beer ban for the Brew Dog pub but it's back in force. Also, along with that I've been taking the stairs up the 5 flights of stairs to our flat instead of the lift. Not this week though as I've been horribly over taken by a cold and can't muster the energy for that many stairs yet. But the cold also helped with this whole not eating too much though, I had no appetite for 2 days solid. I know, not the best approach! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know if I mentioned a couple of weeks back, but I finally decided to buy a decal for my mac. I'd been deliberating for ages whether to get one or not. The thing worrying me was whether it would leave a mark on my mac after I took it off. Turns out they're amazing and don't leave any trace of anything being there. So I spent hours scrolling through Etsy for one and finally decided on the retro apple mac logo for the apple sign on my computer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Mostly taken on Tom's iphone using Hipstamatic and my phone using RetroCamera. </span><br />

It's scary yet amazing. But most definitely terrifying, as on the 26th of April I've got an actual Java exam! Scary stuff. As for last weeks java secret, I gave in and handed it in on Sunday. But this week is the start of our final java hand in for the semester which is group work. It's not even started well as I've not got the best of groups, minus my flatmate which is good, but other than that, not the best and someone in our group doesn't seem to actually exist in uni. Anyway, lets see how it works out. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for this week, I'm pretty happy, although I'm getting a bit pissed off with a few very silly things. I made the mistake of sending all my new purchases to my parents house not my uni address, utter fail! I wish I'd made the decision to purchase the stuff a few days earlier as it means that they won't arrive before Tom comes visit on Tuesday! Boo. Other than that, I've just got back from my mates 21st birthday drinks, (so as a result, I'm sorry if this is a bit of a babble. I have drank a few G&T's..) but it turned out she had no idea about the engagement, she bloody cried, I still haven't cried! Although, I'm not much of a crier, I get told I've got no soul as a result of my claim that I've literally never cried at a movie or a song or anything like that. Al least someone cried, although, Tom's quite the wee emotional thing, which is lovely. He had tears in his eyes when he asked me, it's times like them I wish I did find these thing emotional. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the weekend we ended up having a great time. It's usually quite quiet in the flat at the weekend as quite often most weeks someone goes home to see someone for some other reason. This week Finlay was away but we still went Ice Skating, it was epic. We also went straight from there to the pub and didn't come home till 2am which was great fun. It also ended up with some clothes swapsies with Clare after her lending me all her clothes for Paris and me wanting to get rid of some. The main thing I'm missing from it is my I ♥ NY tshirt - and might I add, if anyone from NY is willing to send me one over in exchange for money, it's be much appreciated! Saying that, I defo gained a few lovely things! </span><br />

It's not only the day I get to go get my engagement ring sized with Tom's mum, it's bloody pancake day! I've never tried savory pancakes, or even pancakes with bacon, it's going to be experienced tomorrow! We have class till 10 and then everyone in the flat plus some others are heading back and Cassie is going to feed us a load of lovely yummy pancakes! </span><br />

Although, my happiness hasn't helped my motivation. I'll tell you a small secret. I haven't done my java this week! The hand in was at 6pm today and it's now 12.30am! I feel like such a wee rebel. But I will probably hand it in tomorrow night or on Sunday, I'm not rebellious enough to just leave it as it isn't just any assignment, it is a percentage of my grade. Boo I don't care though, not tonight anyway! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But yeah, we went out as a flat the other night after having a bunch of folk over to celebrate with us. It's was a great night and ended with everyone accumulating in my room at 4am eating chips and cupcakes and being drunk. (Don't trust drunkies with cupcakes in your bed, or you'll find yourself changing your bed drunkenly at nearly 5am!) </span><br />

It was so lovely and I hadn't properly seen my brother in ages so I got to actually catch up with him and see what he thought about the whole engagement chat. Anyway, in the end as I said in the last post I got spoilt rotten. Check out some of my beautiful pressies! </span><br />

But I'll leave that to think about for tomorrow or the next day. For now, I'm off to bed to get up and head off ice skating with a bunch of mates tomorrow, should be a right laugh! (Photos should follow!) </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, Paris was unbelievable. It was a relaxing, yet busy trip of just the two of us enjoying sights and each others company. But also full of beautiful surprises! We saw an unbelievable amount of things including -</span><br />
<br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Eiffel Tower - Didn't go up though..</span></i><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></i><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you see it was pretty busy. We walked an unreal amount each day and ate such great food. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I have massive news, on Friday in Disneyland, Tom proposed! I obviously said yes! I'm SO happy it's unreal. I had no idea it was going to happen and it turns out it's been planned for quite a while. He even asked my dad! Seriously, I can't stop smiling and telling everyone. The ring is his great Grandma's engagement ring from about 80 years ago. I think I've told everyone I've came across since I got off the plane in Edinburgh, even the girl at the bank today. It was so bloody romantic. It happened on the teacups in Disneyland. We had been wondering about all day and were having a break from queuing and roller coasters so went on it's a small world and then the teacups. We sat down, it was just getting dark and he said I had to close my eyes for a surprise he had. Till the moment he put the ring in my hand, I totally thought it was a birthday present. Obviously I was wrong! It was well lovely. </span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Other than Paris and a surprise engagement, I've been becoming a year older.. and oddly enough, I like being 21.

I've basically had a week and a bit long birthday, it's been rather epic to be honest. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got pretty spoilt to say the least but, hey, you only turn 21 once. I didn't properly see my parents till yesterday except for a little hour after getting off my flight on sunday night. But they came up on Tuesday to have lunch and give me my birthday presents. My camera has ran out of batteries unfortunately but in the next few days I'll post some photos of some of the lovely stuff I got from my lovely family and friends. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm home in Edinburgh this weekend and one step closer to Paris (don't worry, Paris chat will be over soon!). It's been so lovely to get back from the every day stresses of uni life and be able to just come home and see the family and Tom. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This weekend has been pretty good, I basically got off the train on Friday and straight into the pub which is shocking, but was fun. We were out for a few drinks with friends for Tom's birthday. Being an all time lover of real ale, we ended up at an ultimate old mans pub at the complete opposite end of town from the flat just so we could make it to a beer festival. Was nice to see the people who came out, and of course Tom! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday was my assigned day to see my good friends from home to sort of pre celebrate my birthday as I'm not doing anything big for my birthday with anyone but Tom. I also went birthday present/jewellery hunting with the folks and chose out the most beautiful necklace ever! So that night, we went out to Lebowskis (an amazing bar who specialises in white russians as you may have guessed) and had a few and seen where the night led us. It was great to see everyone, I absolutely love my good old amazing friends. It wasn't a particularly rowdy affair but it was good all the same. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuesday - Tom's birthday and another lovely meal out with his family at Sea Dogs in town. Then off to meet mates for a beer festival at a lovely bar called the Holyrood 9A</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wednesday till Sunday - PARIS! Including galleries, photo taking, cafe enjoying, disney fun, and yet another birthday meal! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuesday - My parents are coming up to Dundee to see me and then having a Dundee based night out with all my flatmates and uni friends! Amazing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see I'm totally milking this whole 21st birthday thing to the max! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also realised how much I miss my pets when I'm at uni. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check out my take on </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://upsidedowndogs.com/">Upside Down Dogs</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">..</span><br />

Not even spoke to him on Facetime. Gutter. Hopefully get a good wee facetime date in the next hour or so when he's back from his open mic night. Also gutted he's only just got back into this whole playing at open mic nights when I head back to uni, I love watching him play guitar for people. He gets this lovely boost of confidence when he's played.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So today was a rather successful day nonetheless. We had our film hand in for one of our modules. I think I have briefly mentioned what the project was but if I haven't, the film was the first part of our semesters project. It was a research video focussing on how people use sketchbooks and what they think of digital sketching tools. This is then going to go from our research to our second half of our project which will involve designing a sketching app for an iPad. Should be fun. So check out my video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWBr7biU500">here</a> if your interested, if not, don't wast 9 mins of your life! (it's actually quite good if I do say so myself... which is unusual)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After uni, I headed round to my mate Clare's house to have a wee swatch at her clothes to steal some stuff for Paris to save me buying new stuff. It was great fun. I've been feeling a bit bleh about myself recently and this really cheered me up. So I look a wee holdall away full of clothes and a beautiful bag which I'm most definitely taking. As soon as I got home and had some dinner I got onto trying on. I was hoping I could get an opinion on some of them. I'll only post one of each outfit as I don't want to seem like I'm going to properly start outfit posts.. I'm not! Basically I'm trying to keep the baggage down, so I'm going for the whole one handbag, one belt, one pair or shoes and a 4 outfits, one each day.. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>So aye, what do you think?</b> Most of the stuff are Clare's, which I really appreciate if you're reading this! Do you think I'll freeze if I wear this? I heard it's going to be absolutely freezing so I'm counting on hats, gloves and scarfs.. </span><br />

Two of my flatmates, Rod and Finlay, also came out. Turned out to be a brilliant night and I only spent a tenner and ended up pretty drunk! Was great fun. Impromptu nights out are always the best ones.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So that cheered me up a hell of a lot. I'm glad I did it. Even though I was pretty hungover yesterday. I don't even know why but we were up till 6am. It always seems to happen!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So valentines tomorrow.. No Tom in sight. I don't really mind too much though, I've never been one for Valentines. Even when I've been single. Cass had to buy her boyfriend a card today to go with the red velvet cupcakes she made for him (check them out below, they are amazing!). It was well funny, I've never had to buy a card for anyone, but I'm glad of this as they are all pretty 'boke-tastic'! I was shocked that we only found one that was reasonable in a bunch of shops. It was nice and plain and just had some heart shaped cookies on it. Thank god we're not hopeless romantics.</span><br />

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Money is still an issue for me at the moment. I have a big night out on Tuesday to look forward to but it's going to be expensive but I reckon I'll just have to be sensible. It's a themed night which will be funny, the theme is ABC (Anything But Clothes) but they've been a bit lenient and said anything that you wouldn't wear in public. So I decided to run down to Primark and get one of those Onesies that they sell knowing they're cheap. I just got back and tried it on and it looks pretty ridiculous. So might have to have a rethink.. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Other than mucking about this weekend being hungover, I ventured out in the rain to go to the art gallery in town for something to do. I'd heard about an installation and wanted to get photos. </span><br />

Reward if found!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, so it's finally Friday night. After a week of hell I thought I'd be happy for tonight to arrive. I'm actually pretty disappointed in myself! I need to get out of my flat and have a drink. I don't remember the last time I went out for a drink. Money is the main culprit to be honest. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All I seem to have chat about is Java, filming and sketchbooks with the occasional mention of Paris. It's all I can afford at the moment to the extent I'm on a 'no buying food' week to use up what I have in my cupboard and nothing else except essentials.. <i>(bread, milk, butter and teabags). </i>I guess next week will be a repeat but maybe with the help of buying some veg and a soup bag from the fruit and veg shop. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, today I finally bought our Disneyland tickets so we could get the deal on going to two parks for around about the same price as one online. Winner. So 2 weeks today we will be in Disneyland Paris shaking hands with Goofy! (Photos hopefully to follow! ha!)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't wait. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pretty picture spam. </span><br />

Stuart, a guy in my class who I'm doing group work with, was over and we were stressing for hours on getting some footage we filmed synced up with the audio recording. It was unbelievably and unnecessarily complicated. Needless to say it was a total fail. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today = Total write off!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I seem to be saying this a lot recently. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After sleeping in this morning till 5 mins before I had to leave for class, (thank god I'm still living on campus!) I jumped out of bed and instantly into my 'I've just slept in' outfit. This consists of my University hoody, I hate owning one but hey, it's ridiculously comfy, and ultra baggy jeans and a wooly hat. After my incredibly boring class I had 4 hours between classes and managed to actually have the longest shower ever and then a nice relaxing re-start to the day. This meant I could actually straighten my hair and choose an outfit I felt nice in. So after the rest of my uni day finished I came home, still feeling fresh and nice and took a few photos of what I was wearing. I'm not usually one to do this but I wouldn't usually have put this outfit together and I need to remember to wear it again! So here it is.. </span><br />

Typical. Anyway, I made the mussels I was speaking about. It was a mission but I've got to say, it was worth it. Not just for the taste but for Tom's compliments! I love getting compliments from Tom on my cooking as he's really passionate about his food and knows what he's doing, where as I'm just learning. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not usually bothered by the whole long distance thing and not seeing each other for a max 2 weeks but being as exhausted as I have been this week, it's been really hard. So as a treat I've agreed it was my turn to cook dinner and I'm making a special feast. On the cards is Mussels ala Greg (my mate in my class Greg told me the recipe!) served with Linguine! Noms. I really hope it goes well.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've never cooked fish really other than the old salmon in the oven thing. So this is a big thing for me. I've even phoned round different fishmongers to get the the mussels and need to phone at 8am to get them kept aside for me. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sleeping seems to be a problem for a lot of people right now. I don't know exactly why. It must be related to the lacking in daylight and everyone starting back at uni/school/work after festivities. But to be honest, you'd think after a month being back to a routine, you'd be okay. But obviously not. I think I need to take some advice from <a href="http://fayecavania.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-to-get-good-nights-sleep.html">Faye Cavania</a> who wrote a brilliant post with a bunch of tips on how to get a good nights sleep. If you're struggling you should definitely check it out. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After my parents coming up on Tuesday I've been on a bit of a birthday present search but I've come across a few things but they aren't really things my mum and dad would buy for my 21st which is a shame!

Today my group filmed our first interview and we were interviewing an old school friend of mine from home, Cathy. I hadn't seen her properly for months so it was absolutely lovely. After spending an hour setting up to film 5 minutes worth of interview, we went for a hot chocolate and a catch up and ended up gossiping for about 2 hours.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mum and dad came to visit yesterday.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm going to paris 3 weeks today. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I get to see my lovely boy on Saturday! (But only for a measly 24 hours. Boo) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went to the Chinese Supermarket today.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When my parents came up yesterday I had just finished making an amazing batch of soup. It was curried parsnip and sweet potato, my mum tasted it ans was finally able to see evidence of me becoming a lot more domesticated since going back to uni. She was very impressed. It was great to hear that from her because she's quite the domestic goddess to be honest. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They came up to try and help me figure out what to get for my birthday and ended up dragging me round jewellery shops for ages. Still no luck but I came away with a bunch of jewellery catalogues and some small ideas.. I wish I had an actual thing I really wanted but I just can't think at the moment. Mum's totally dying to get me some jewellery though. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Monday I came into class to be welcomed by Clare saying she had a surprise for me, turned out it was a tea infuser for the tea I had bought last week but was unable to drink without an infuser. It's amazing! It's a little house that says tea on the roof and you just fill it with your tea and then let it brew for 5 mins. In the time it took for it to brew I managed to catch some great photos of it. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think it's probably quite sad how I get so excited about this but the definite highlight of my day was going to the chinese supermarket in town with some mates in my class. All I wanted was some guava juice (which is the best thing you will ever drink!) and maybe a packet of noodles. In the end I spent £9.50 on noodles, juice and chilli sauce. Nightmare! Oh well, It cheered me to the max. </span><br />

<br />
I figured it out. I was being an idiot.<br />
<br />
Me, being a 'computing student' I should know what bit should hold HTML and what bit should hold CSS. Obviously I wasn't thinking straight though, I woke up this morning and tried it once more and finally succeeded. I'm well chuffed.<br />
<br />
What do you think of it? Any suggestions? Is the logo too big? On my flatmate, Cassie's computer it opens up and overwhelms the page but on both of my screens it comes up normal sized. Whats it like for you guys? Would appreciate the feedback.<br />
<br />
Over and out.<br />

Well, cool in a way that I can sleep and kick about without having to do my hair or anything and watch stuff online. Not so cool when I start attempting to fix things on my blog and fail miserably. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I added a typekit and tried to embed it in but it's not working at all. No idea why, it should be working, but it isn't. <b>You guys used TypeKit before? If so, fancy giving me a suggestion with what I've done wrong?</b> I really should get back to what we had to do last year at uni and relearn how to make a website! I managed it before, it's just all left my head somehow. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, this week has been blog-less for no good reason to be honset. I think I've been busy but looking back at my week I'm not too sure what I've been doing other than my usual boring java work and kicking about with the flatmates.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing I know I did this was was to have a random but yet amazing night on Thursday with my mate Clare. Our plan was just to head to Art Society for an hour or two and then finish our java to be handed in the next day. It was our first experience of the art society as we'd heard they were doing a printing night so we thought we may aswel see what it was all about. It was a right laugh. We got chatting to everyone and got a couple of free drinks there and got pretty hyper while attempting some lino printing. I'd done it before but Clare had been wanting to try it for a while. Check out what we did - </span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's my 21st birthday next month and I've been so distracted and not managed to arrange anything to do with all my mates in Edinburgh, it's a bit of a shame. Hoping it'll all come together and we'll all just head to a pub and catch up. I'd be happy with anything as long as my mates are around me. <b>Anyone from Edinburgh know where I could head?</b> I was thinking Lebowski's, a brilliant white russian bar which is pretty spacious so it could accomodate for a random amount of people turning up. Other than that, no other thoughts.. I used to be so good at arranging things! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
