End of 2011

As it is approaching the end of the year 2011, I thought it would be nice to do an overall of the year 2011 obviously of my life... as this blog is "the life story of nessa"

So looking through my posts, they are becoming extremely depressing... so I am going to try and make this one not be so negative :)
So here we go... The overview of 2011 for me

January

Well lets just mention I did this, around this time last year: Last years overview
Now with that out the way... January 2011.... Spent half of the month at home, hanging out with the MK friends, and just enjoying life at home, such as going out to lunch with the family, and raiding the condaments sections in the cafe....

Aswell as a night out with the Goober (Chanita) Which was an amazing night:

Also went to see one of my favourite MK local bands with the goober, called Exit Avenue, in which I was on a mission all night to get a tshirt... in which I didn't actually get one until getting my friend Dean (who was working at the gig) to find someone from the band, so i could buy a damn tshirt.... also Chanita experienced her first mosh pit... which was interesting and hilarious LMAO!
Also within the month of January 2011... I experienced my first night out with my lovely wifey Shona!
As well as taking an epic long walk around Milton Keynes to get to my nans,  The Epic Walk
Then leaving MK and heading back to Derby to start Year 1 semester 2.... in which it was good to be back, and see my Flat 10C lot, and start learning new things again :) However I think after being at home for a whole month, going back to living by myself, and as well as having such a good time at home... I did get very depressed by the end of January... and got myself into a very bad place... however... I said this post is not going to depressing so enough of that...

Some Quotes from January 2011

These quotes were mainly said by me, Jos or Sophie and people on the TV :)

"GLEE NESSA!, GLEE!" - Jos

"Why would i want a burger when i have a steak" - Some guy from Tool Academy

"Im excited cant you see it in my pants?" - Jos

"PRINCE ALBERT" - Programme, The joys of teen sex

"Woman have the ugliest parts" - Sophie "but Mens parts are pretty freaky too!" - Me


"STRANGER DANGER, I shall just put the locks on" - Jos

"Lets live in the car :)" - Me


"CHHAAAAAAAAAAAVVV!!!...... oh no wait.... Asian" - Jos

February: 

Well in February... from what I remember not very much happened... and as i already mentioned, by the end of January I had got myself into a very dark place, and was very home sick. So yeah February 2011... I spent most of my time with the lovely Flat 10C lot and at home in Milton Keynes!

A good thing that happened within this month, is that Goober came to visit me which was the BEST WEEKEND EVER!!! : Goobers visit

March:

Things became a lot brighter in March, I started to find my feet again, concentrated on my uni work (as it was becoming alot harder) Spent a lot of time hanging around with the flat 10C lot, and the legendary Sophie Morrison... (who I will admit is most likely my uni best friend? lol)
Also broke down in March when helping Sophie try and fix her car... but ended up breaking down and having to park the car by pushing it, and then getting a lift from the RAC man to the city!
So yeah March was a good positive month, where I was just being the old me, and just really spending time with myself and friends.

April:

April again, was quite a realisation month... I started to get my head fully back out of the dark place it had been, started realising the important things in life and concentrated on them... and questioned myself a lot and found answers... as for example... a certain male that I had forced to be my best friend, even though I thought he hated my guts, I kept pushing myself on to him, and I started to question myself about my feelings for him... stupidly denying that I liked him more than a friend... even though my friends who I spoke to about him, said that I was obviously in to him... Which I dunno why I kept denying it... I guess it was because I was scared... because to me, he was an extremely good friend and i didn't want things to go wrong... But yeah, was quite a realisation month... that in fact i did like him... although i kept it to myself... because I wanted to concentrate on my exams!
Also within the month of April 2011... I had to break into my own house with the goober: The break in

May:

The month where everything changed!!
I voted for the first time in my life! and begun to change my hair to be the colour blonde :)
The exams where over and I was set on getting the guy who had been on my mind for months. :)
18th May, Went to James boxing match in which Jos and Sophie laughed at me for being so worried about him, and especially Sophie shouted at me to let him know how I feel... After watching him box, which was the most intense moment ever! I went out to find him, in which when i saw him, just resting my forehead on his and staring into his tired eyes, was like being in a film where nothing else mattered... that is when i kissed him, and finally got the guy, James Andrew Salisbury <3 That was the best night of my life <3
The rest of May was spent being with the amazing James, lounging around, going to the park for picnics and just being with each other!

June

My little sister turned sweet 16!

I came to terms with having anxiety, Living with anxiety
Was introduced to stumble by James <3
As well as having to leave halls, and go home for the summer, which was a very weird strange sad day, mainly because I had to leave my first "home" as being independent, as well as having to go back to MK and not to see James for a while :/

July

Started up a new Store on Zazzle : My store

Saw Foo fighters, Biffy Clyro and Jimmy Eat World <3
And saw James! <3
Especially going to his house, which was AMAZING!!!
Such a nice house! Went to the Norwich city, watched films, ate yummy food, saw chickens, and went to the Zoo :D Was actually so much fun! Best thing that happened in July! and his family is amazing as well!

August

I turned 19... which I had a party, which was good except it was soooo god damn windy!!
I also had to go  back to Derby early to some referalls, but it was alright as the amazing James came with me, so it was good :D
and I passed them all as well :P Boo Yah!
Also had my first experience at shooting an Air Rifle :  Exploding Can Video

September

Started Year 2 at uni, which was extremely stressful, as there was a ton of work load! compared to the first, as well as I realised I had moved into the shittest house in the world! However seeing James everyday was worth it :)

Facepalm the table

If you come 2nd in anything you always know that you did well, but you need to try harder to come 1st and avoid 3rd. Well the 2nd year of Uni feels like that. Winning something and comming 1st feels great, its always a new exciting feeling, 1st day of school all through the year it is exciting, 1st year in a new town again throughout the year it is fun and exciting, winning a race for the 1st time, a new feeling of accomplishment, but then you get 2nd, and its just not the same feeling, its more of a "yay i did well, but.. oh... now i have to do it all over again" sort of feeling!


Right now i am in my 2nd year of uni, and it just seems like more of a strain to get up and go in and sit around and do work, and even going out drinking and "living the student life" is a strain now. Maybe i am just turning into an old lazy person before my time but i would much prefer to sleep in until i want, get up, eat, tidy up and go out and see things with the boyfriend. With going out and partying, again getting all dressed up, making sure the make-up is done right, choosing an outfit and doing your hair, every other night, all just seems like a waste of time, considering as soon as you and everyone else has had a few to drink, no one really gives a toss what you look like. I would much rather go down to the pub with jeans and a tshirt on and just drink with a load of friends! To be honest, the work load at uni is not really helping matters..... there is sooooo much work to do this year, and there not, how they say "spoon feeding" us this year, which to be fair means i look at my computer screen see what i need to do and facepalm the table.


Comparing this 2nd year to the 1st year within work load terms, the 1st year actually did not count towards the final degree, which meant it didn't really matter what grade i got, as long as i passed, it was fine, but this year, any grade i get in a module counts to the final degree! Which means for me anyway, no more leaving things 3 days before the deadline, and just doing the minimal work! Actually having to stay in all day and night glued to a computer, researching and doing work. I am completely determined this year to get NOTHING below a C, like i don't want to sound all big headed, i am definitely not one of these people that can sit around all day and then just pull an A grade out of a hat with minimal effort! (oh how i envy those people) I am one of those unlucky people who has to revise every second of the day and read a dozen books to just get a B grade!


Even though i am stressing so much with this 2nd year at uni, there is one major thing in my life that has made the 2nd year amazing and easier to cope with! The Boyfriend <3
If he wasn't in my life right now i would be running around a field screaming due to stress levels, but i am not, so, that's a plus.
With him being in my life it just takes a load of weight off me, he will sit there whilst i rant on and on about how much work i have to do (even if he sometimes might not pay attention, its still nice to have that someone)
Its nice to just get out of the house and get away from uni work and chill with him, the nights in when we both help cook dinner (well he cooks and i sit there and smile) and the days i have with him, i treasure!
I dont want to sound all cheesy and that, but he is amazing! and i love him very much <3 James Salisbury <3


I would say to anyone that is in there 1st year of uni who is reading this, MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR 1ST YEAR!!! someone said that to me in my 1st year, and i was like "meh, uni is going to be amazing all 3 years" but NO!! right now i can honestly say the 1st year was less stressful! even if your in your 1st year and your stressing about, money, food, work, that is nothing compared to 2nd year worries!


My thoughts right now; "I am most likely going to post again this time next year saying that 3rd year is horrible and to appreciate 2nd year"
So i am going to take that advice, and appreciate the 2nd year, do as much work as i can! but also party and live that "student life" (maybe not quite as heavy as the 1st year though ;))


Until then (Y)

Review of the summer...

I thought i should update this blog mainly because i haven't posted in a while... well not properly... as well as heading back off to Derbyland tomorrow for my second year at uni... so it is sort of like a milestone i guess in "The life story of Nessa"
The title of this post is the "Review of summer"... and summer for me started as soon as i finished my first year of uni, so I am going to begin this "review" from around the 16th May :)

16th May - 31st May

May was very much the month of finishing and celebrating finishing the first year of uni, and the feeling of finishing my last year1 exam and handing in my last piece of my year1 coursework, felt soooooo gooood!! Amongst celebrating the end of the first year of uni, the only AMAZING part of May, was May18th, finally getting togther with James :) <3 I dont want to go all smooshy and lovey dovey and that, but since that day i have been so happy :D i really do feel like he completes me :) May 18th was just perfect for me :) Watched him in his first boxing match, and i knew the exact point where i thought to myself, why am i being so unhappy and wishing to be happy, when i can be happy, when the guy who i can be happy with is standing right in that ring. The guy who i want to be with is right there.... why am i denying myself.... it was then i woke up and realised how much of a complete TWAT i had been!! as soon as his fight was over i was itching to see him, and just seeing him, and sealing that first kiss, felt AMAZING!!! something i have never felt before!! :)
So yeah I cant really remember much of May, except from being with James all the time!! Which i'm not complaining :) <3

June 1st - June 30th

My little sister turned sweet 16.... (well sweet as she can be.. haha) I came back for uni for it... it was pretty low key, as she dose not like much of a fuss... strange child.... :P
The rest of June was spent back at uni, hanging and shopping with Sophie, chilling with the flat 10C boys! and of course spending time with James <3 Which may i say was amazing :D Picnic in the park, walks, romantic dinners, films, spending whole days in PJs watching tv and munching on food!! Was to be honest PERFECT :D But... by the end of June... I had to go back off home!!! Which was bye bye to James!! :'(
But it was good to be back at home with ALL my stuff around me... not half of it because the other half was back up in Derby... and my memory foam bed (mmmm memory foam) and my adorable cat Ketchup! and of course my friends and family!! Most times were spent annoying my mum and dad by talking on and and on at them, and meeting up with Chanita, Angela, Shona and Luke!

July 1st - July 31st
James <3 came down to visit my home!! Of course after i had seen the incredible foo fighters!! which i was conned out of a foo figther ticket and then hunted high and low to find someone selling one at a reasonable price of course!! which 3 days before the concert i managed to find the most amazing woman ever! who sold me one of her tickets and i got to go :D Inner pit wrist band, nice weather and amazing bands :) as well as the thought that i would get to see James the next day :D
So James came down!! and i was nervous... because he would meet my family, see where i live, meet my friends and such, but i didn't need to be nervous! my family loved him as well as my friends and he loved where i lived as well as my family and friends!! so all in all it went perfect :)
But obviously James didn't stay forever he went back of to Norwich... but a week later i went to visit him!! and his family were amazing!! his house was amazing!! just like him :D July was most likely the best month in summer!! even went to a zoo!! :D

August 1st - August 31st
Went and saw Capdown play :D which ive not seen them play live for over 2 years!! so that was pretty amazing!! and then James came down to visit again which was even more amazing!! and i had my 19th birthday which was pretty cool!! Just wish the weather was better on my birthday! lol
Then i had to go back to Derby to re do some of year one work as i failed two pieces! but it wasn't all bad as i went back to Derby with James <3 :) so even though i was at uni most days, i had him to keep me company, and our nights were full of yummy dinners and films whilst cuddling up on the sofa :) The only bad thing that happen in this month was the damn person who was shoved into me causing me to go flying out of a set of fire doors and then taken to hospital, but James (even though he was slightly drunk) was by my side the whole 5 hours we were there :') And i even passed my re takes :P

September 1st - till now
Its gone really quick, been yet again hanging out with friends and chilling.... but now as i am having to pack up and leave to go back to Derby... this time for more than a couple of weeks... im slightly sad... I mean.. I have friends, a amazing boyfriend, a second year at uni to look forward to... but i am still going to miss home!! A LOT!!! :/ but once i get there i will be ok :) i hope :)

So to review this summer = AMAZING!!! :D

Bring on next year!!!

Jim Eastwood

After watching the apprentice for 11 whole weeks, I have been rooting for THE Jim Eastwood!!!
I am gutted that he did not win, even though his business plan can be seen in the future.... but at least the next best man won.. tom.

Jim though the whole process was just mind blowing.... as well as watching him on the apprentice, I have also been reading his blog on his personal website!! which is incredibly inspiring!! He talks about selling yourself, believing in yourself and going straight to your goal and not letting anyone get in your way!!
He shall motivate me now through my future life i think... and shall be added to my list of inspirational people!!!

Only a short post within this blog!!!
Just an update on the people that is inspiring Nessa within her life :)
