I felt a need to write something this evening, so here I am tapping away again to you guys. It's become so cold here in Luton over the past week, so much that I'm actually starting to feel a bit festive! Prematurely for some maybe, but who cares? A friend of mine who's at university in Brighton has already put her Christmas decorations up. Now that's dedication. :P Saying that though, her term finishes a week before mine does... I don't break up until the 18th December! It's slightly annoying, because all my friends will have been home for a week already whilst I'm still here working hard... :( although, it DOES mean I get an extra week to finish off my assignments. I can't say that it won't be useful. :P
I'm really looking forward to going home for Christmas... I get to spend some quality time with my family, friends... and my lovely boyfriend of course! :D I'll be transferring back to Ashford's Cineworld for a few weeks too, which will be nice - it gives me a chance to catch up on all the gossip! :P hehe.
Next week, Ben and I are planning to go out and buy Christmas decorations and put them all up in our kitchen. It's going to be great fun and I can't wait! It's just a shame I've got to get this 2000 word essay done before that... ahh well. I've written essays just as long before! And admittedly, in less than three weeks... ooops. :P
I've become addicted to playing Super Mario Galaxy on my Wii just recently. For those of you who have never played it before, I suggest you go and pick up a copy! That is, if you own a Wii of course... :P but anyway, it's seriously addictive and will have you playing for hours! Well, at least until you get so frustrated with not being able to jump at that crucial moment to get the Star, and turn off your Wii in a mad rage. I haven't done that before... honestly! :P
Until next time folks. ;)

It's been a while...
Good morning fellow bloggers! (Haha, that's me being hopeful. :P)
I know I haven't posted here for a while, and that's due to a number of reasons:
1. I'm always at work... or it certainly seems that way! I'm rather a busy bee. :P
2. I've been ill with sinusitis in the last week, which has sucked :( I'm feeling a lot better now though! :D
...Ok, so I couldn't think of anymore reasons. Dammit xD
So yeah, I've been really ill in the last week! It's been awful to be honest, and I've missed a lot of lectures :( but hey, there's always time for me to catch up. It was only a week's worth! I went home half way through last week and went to see my doctor, who gave me the antibiotics and stuff that I needed.
Aside from my personal life, which has mainly consisted of seeing my boyfriend a LOT (yay! :D), I've started to become very excited about next year... because my favourite music artist, Darren Hayes, has been recording a new album, and it's finished! :D Now he's just got to mix the new album in the new year. Eeeeeee! :D You can watch his vlogs here. I really wish I was going to his New Year's Eve show in London, but being a student and all, I couldn't afford it when the tickets came out... :( typically, since getting my job at Cineworld, I've actually been earning rather a lot and probably would be able to afford it now! Oh well, I expect he'll tour again soon. :D he's simply amazing live!
It's got so cold here in Luton in the last few weeks, to the extent where just wearing my coat over my t-shirt isn't enough! It's kinda irritating having to wear gloves out aswell, especially when you go out to do shopping. Last week Lewis took me to a nearby Tesco (which is too far away to walk back with loads of shopping bags!) and we used the self service tills. Because I still had my gloves on, he managed to put his Clubcard through first and nab the points I'd earned because the touch screen didn't respond to my gloved fingertips. I'll remember that one next time! :P
I think I'll leave it there for today. Hopefully I won't abandon you all for so long this time! (you know, just nicase anyone does actually read this. :P)

Visits from two lots of emergency services in one day? Blimey...
Carrying on from the other day when I told you about the girl who collapsed in my lecture, we had another visit from the emergency services later on... from the fire brigade!
It was about 9.30pm; Lewis (that's my boyfriend, I can't remember if I mentioned his name in my last post) and I were enjoying eachother's company, all snuggled up together... then we got rudely interrupted by the fire alarm sounding! Eurgh, when you're half asleep it doesn't help either, it was so loud... haha. So anyway, off we all trundled down the stairs and we stood outside in the freezing cold for about half an hour... lovely! When the alarm initially went off, Ben (one of my flat-mates) was in his dressing gown, but he quickly got dressed again. I can't blame him really, I don't think I would have liked the embarrasment of being left out on the streets in my dressing gown. :P
So the fire brigade turned up after about 5 minutes and interrogated the top floor (where the smoke was coming from) and discovered that some silly person had obviously left their dinner in the microwave too long - consequently, it had caught fire. After about 20 minutes of smoke-tackling, they emerged with the remains of the microwave in their hands... a burnt-out, smelly black box. Considering we had to buy our own microwaves in here (the university didn't provide them for us) I hope it didn't cost them too much money! Somehow I think the culprit might be paying for the next one... :P
Fire accidents aside, Lewis and I had a lovely evening together, and my cooking was a success! Woohoooo :D I'm going back to Ashford this weekend too, which I'm really looking forward to! :D now I've just got to get through my 4 hours of lectures tomorrow... and my 8 and a half hour shift at work tonight >.< I work at Cineworld, by the way. I don't get the best pay in the world, but I get plenty of work to keep me afloat for the week, so I can't complain! The people who work here in the Luton branch are lovely too, which helps... even though I do miss my Cineworld Ashford friends a lot sometimes! :(
Right, I think it's time for me to go and make some lunch. Catch you guys later! :D

How exciting!
You may or may not have guessed, but I've never actually kept an online blog until now. Sure, I used to keep a little paper diary as a kid that I probably wrote something in once in a blue moon, but never something that other people were going to read... eeek.
Let me introduce myself. My name's Lauren - I'm a first-year Journalism student at the University of Bedfordshire. I simply love to write: expressing my thoughts and feelings through the wonders of the written word. You probably will have noticed my constant jibes about spelling and grammar whilst looking over my page. Put it simply - English language abusers are one of my pet hates. If you're going to refer to yourself as English, PLEASE learn how to use our language correctly! All those "innit blud"s and "there shoes are over their"s do NOT wash well with me. :P anyway, I digress...
Right now I'm sitting comfortably on my desk chair, typing away on my laptop and I'm full of anticipation... because my boyfriend from my hometown is coming all the way up to Luton to visit me! :D (my hometown is Ashford in Kent, by the way.) I absolutely love it when he comes to see me, we have so much fun together... and I'm planning on cooking a meal tonight for him! Let's hope I don't fail at cooking today like I did a few days ago, though :P Perhaps I should explain what happened? I decided to cook myself a pasta carbonara; I had fried small chunks of bacon up beforehand and my pasta was boiling away rather nicely. Stupidly, I poured the sauce into the frying pan too quickly and it all evaporated... leaving me with a lovely thick yellow and pink mess in the bottom of the pan. Yummy. :P needless to say, carbonara certainly wasn't on the agenda for dinner that night!
I had two lectures this morning, one of which transformed from being incredibly boring to being rather... scary. A girl two seats away from me randomly collapsed onto the floor and began to make VERY strange noises, then after about 10 seconds, sat up and said she didn't feel well. It was bad enough that it happened, but the fact she pretty much fell down right infront of my seat made the whole experience a lot creepier! The lecturers called an ambulance though, so I'm sure she'll be fine - she was being well looked-after when I left the room :D
Anyway, I think you've probably built up a picture of me inside your head now, whether it's a good or a bad one (hopefully good! :P)
Speak to you all again soon :D
