Party in the USA

Buzzing...that is the word of the week! And if thats not the word for you then get out there an do something crazy!

The last time I wrote on here, I was mid way through my summer school getting ready for final exams! Now that its all over...its amazing to be chilling and having fun! Its been way too hot here though...thinking Wimbledon needs some of our weather!

We finished finals last Friday and I was so happy to be finished. My Genetics class was pretty hard...spent the whole two days memorising as much as I could!


Dont think I could really fit much more in my brain to be honest! I got really bored of trying to memorise other things that I deciced to memorise my nucleotide bases....FUN FUN!
Was pretty annoying through everytime I wanted to study the ice cream jingle came on...and trust me its bad!!

Something more exciting was that for our art final we decided to do a whole class performance art. It was a half flash mob/pool party ish...and it was pretty cool! Not sure we are a class cut out for proper flash mobs yet but we are on the map...and youtube is our platform! Watch this space...haha!


Epic......

Pretty much can say that it was the best class I had so far since being at TU!
Now I've finished the class I have a few last minute pictures to show!


My flowers which are extra special


My freehand Mickey!


Im pretty sure I love drawing the most!

Next on the agenda is that I am leaving for England in 3 days! So excited to be going home...but not looking forward to the flight...might be some uber uncomfortableness and numb bum syndrome!


We went to Worlds of Fun on Monday which was lots of Fun and rode the tallest rollercoaster there- the Mamba! But it was too easy and definately had my hands up! Got up extra early...at 5.30am!


It was so hot there that the best rides were the water rides and I got completely soaked which felt good. Usually you freeze after going on them but not this time!


You can tell from this picture that I have my new t-shirt on. And this is the back...


I love it...its amazing!
Sean got one too but I dont have a picture of that :-(

Watched the Euro 2012 quarterfinal England vs Italy! Major let down again losing on penalties....England seem to be able to do extra well on messing up our penalties! But still proud to be British...and tbh I would rather do better in the World Cup! Being optimistic here!

Last week me and Sean went to work for his Dad...we were picking up wood from the roads and it was boiling. Definately worked on my tan that day but could still do better to get rid of those lines!

Since being free from school and imprisonment from studying in my room...I have been able to get out but when its too hot we've been watching some classic films.
Including Sherlock Holmes- A Game of Shadows, My Fair Lady and Goodnight Mr Tom.

Really loving Robert Downey Jnr and Jude Law...its so funny and I cant wait for the third movie next year!

Since not having watched My Fair Lady before...I was required to watch it before I return to England to help all the English to learn how to speak! As apparently they drop all their h's and do funny vowels...well the cockneys do anyway!

Just got a little bit obsessed with the song Loverly...which is awesome...and I taught Sean this song in 15mins. Although I hadnt seen the film before its now memorised! And plus Sean usually cant remember more than 2 lines of songs so I'm quite impressed!


Also after watching Goodnight Mr Tom...I pretty much couldnt stop sing this song...


"Its a long way to Tipperary, its a long way to go....."

News I was shocked about a couple of weeks ago was that Harry Redknapp is leaving Spurs...bad mistake I say! Cant believe it and should really change their minds!

Since having time off been having a little play on the Sims. Its a bit addictive and you can get playing it for hours on end! My people keep falling in love and having children! I stopped my last lady having children but then I said she could adopt....then she fell in love and so obviously they had to have a child...then by accident she had twins! I swear its impossible to look after 4 children at once!

I was going to start reading my new book...Fear the Worst by Linwood Barclay! I love his other books so much I decided to get this one, however I havent started it yet. I now have the Deathly Hallows in America as well as at home in England too...because its an amazing book! Everyone should read them because they are so much better than the movies!

Things coming up are now that Ewa...my ex teammate :-( and ex roommate...has gone...i now will have a new roommate for the Fall. So should be exciting!

There is a new Meryl Streep movie coming out soon! Its out on August 10th so I will be definately watching that...becuase Meryl Streep is my hero!


And it looks super funny!

Steve Carrell is in it too...and there is no film that I dont like that has Steve Carell in it.

Now that I have 3 days left to go until home I have lots of things to do...making sure my room is tidy and no messes...laundry...presents!

Ready for my birthday which is in 11 days! Of course I have my dad's, mum's and sister's birthday aswell but I'm just counting down til im 21. I know im gonna feel older...but hey!

Lets hope this summer is epic and turn another year older...anti aging cream here I come haha!

MURPHYS LAW- IT IS TRUE!

Wow! Its been 2 weeks since I last blogged and it went by pretty slow! But now we are half way through June, i cant understand where the time has gone. By the time I leave for the UK again, I will have nearly been in America for 6 months! :-O

These past few weeks I have been mega busy with school work and I cant wait for it to end. Come Friday of next week it will be over for another 6 weeks! My genetics class has been really tough! I really enjoy the work but the tests are very hard. My art class however is so much fun- my prof is cool and I've made some good art- so I wanted to show you.


Last week I started on this peice which is a copy of Paul Cezanne. I havent finished it yet but I want to when all of my exams are out of the way.


This is my own version of Cezanne, but i like the other one better.


I got really bored and decided I wanted to draw something so I drew Saruman's eyes. I very proud of this and so im gonna keep it forever.

I also thought it would look funny upside down!


It does.....!

I was going on a little Lord of the Rings phase and so I decided to draw gollum and also try mount doom!




I thought these were cool to draw too!




I was watching Remember me with Robert Pattinson :-D the other week! such an awesome film! I thought id share this quote!
"Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but its very important that you do it!" Ghandi

Maybe i was just cause Rob said it... think what you like! No just joking- the quote I love.

I also watched A league of their own which is an amazing film too! I got addicted to the song the girls sing when they play baseball! This film is a must see!


Especially seen as Tom Hanks is in it = legend!

So being on TU campus in the summer can get a little dull and there isnt a lot of people around. However, being bombarded by highschool cheerleaders and then highschool footballers isnt my idea of having people around- especially when the girls are making chants every five minutes!

Last Friday is also a day to remember- it is the day my backhand volley became awesome! I tried to remember the date when I improved my forehand but I never could so this one is going down in the books so il never forget!

Talking about tennis- I havent played as much as I would like because of all my exams but I dominated the other day on serving- hitting 13 cones in 45mins! Wish I could do as well in school as on the tennis court!

Its funny because im seriously running out of food but im so lazy to go and get some! Im just really looking forward to next weekend where I can spend a whole week in america without having to do school work or tennis! I was thinking either Dallas Six Flags or Worlds of Fun. Definitely in need of some rollercoasters!

Been watching the tennis on TV- the French Open. Was so gutted that Federer didnt get through to the final but im really glad Nadal won- true clay court champion! And now Queens is on in the roll up to Wimbledon! Cant wait for those grass courts- been waiting all year!

Thinking that everyone should watch this video so im posting it proudly. I want to go see him live so badly! I mean hes just so fun to watch so look out for the name!



Mansour Bahrami!

As well as tennis I was keeping up to date with the euros!! England vs France! ENGAAALAND! turned out 1-1 which wasnt bad! cant wait to see some english tv again! the tv here isnt too great apart from the films on abc family or mtv. Friends is always a good watch though!

Im counting the days now until I go home- its now standing at 17 days. 7 days til the end of classes.
Then roll on July so I can turn 21!
