February (Part 1)

(FYI: I had this posts in my drafts for a while now so some of the things I've said sound a little outdated now.)

I am super ultra mega happy to say I am finally done with the mocks and now have a week off to relax (sort of). However, I am not super ultra mega happy at the fact that after this week I have to do mock Irish and German orals and mock music practical.........not to mention actually getting my mock results back eeek. Overall, the mocks weren't completely awful, but they weren't amazing at the same time. I'm hoping I'm just underestimating myself and I'll end up getting much better grades then I thought. I know it's overused but ~they are only the mocks~ so really it's not the end of the world if an exam doesn't go according yo plan yo. u_u fun fact: I typed 'Poland' instead of 'plan' wtf.

I received these in the post the day before the mocks started (I think). They were on sale in Schuh for €44, original price is €100!!!!!!! Quite comfy but I think they run a little big in size orz

I have no idea how this happened. O_O Basically one day the screen was fine and the next day it was cracked into a billion pieces *confused* Basically my 3GS was depressed cause my iPhone 5 was getting all of my attention or like.....Sheba sat on it idk. All the endless possibilities..... *gazes out window while stroking beard*

I woke up extremely early every morning for the past I-can't-even-remember weeks, so I went for walks with Lady on the weekends when it started to get bright. ^_^

I also woke up one morning and there was snow everywhere wtf. My dad had said the day before it would snow throughout the night but I didn't really pay attention, mainly due to the fact that the other several times he told me this, it never happened. -_- I ended up missing Irish paper 2, but I made it in for biology yay! After biology my right leg died and it was a really strange experience cause I almost fell over if it wasn't for Gael catching me. So thank you for saving me from what could have been a awfully embarrassing moment. ^_^

This is one of my favourite snack foods omg so yums. I started eating it during the break before bio and Roi was like 'ARE YOU EATING LEAVES??' orz. I ate so much throughout the mocks cause I didn't want to end up hungry in the middle of an exam, 'cause hunger drastically changes my mood. Everything and everyone annoys me and I get super snappy and depressed *sighs*

This is me being sad the night before German.

I procrastinated TONNES the evening I took this, 'cause it was music (last exam) the next day. I had gotten to the stage of tiredness where I was so exhausted I just sat there and did next to nothing oops.

Shauna laughed when I told her I took a picture of my pen cause I wanted to document how much ink I used in one history exam. :( I just thought it was a lot of ink used for just one exam okie?! Just a heads up if anyone reading this is doing LC history: it's one damn tiring exam, my hand was cramped for hours after it and even though the hall where we did the exam was freezing, my face got really really warm cause I'm pretty sure my brain was on the brink of exploding at several points. It's like you finish one essay on time and you're like YAAAAAY for maybe a second and then like OK NEXT ESSAY FML HAND PLZ DON'T FALL OFF.

Pretending to be a diligent music student! I was listening to Tchaikovsky on the bus on the way to school and I was sort of maybe dozing off and then all of a sudden it got incredibly loud and it scared the crap out of me. Damn you, Tchaikovsky. Bach will always be my fav though cause ARIA DUETTO.

Shauna also laughed at my celebratory Greek salad w/ bacon in Delish. It was actually quite a momentous occasion cause there were olives in it and I ate them and I distinctly remember eating an olive back in the day and thinking it was vile. I think I must have very adaptable taste buds seeing as this has happened to me with a lot of foods/drinks I hated but now like. O.O

I went to Dublin with Roi & Shauna over midterm. I'm actually quite proud of myself cause I managed to navigate my way from O'Connell St. to Grafton St. w/o dying. Although we had a series of near-death experiences when we first left Bus Aras wtf. None of that matters though, because I FINALLY got to eat my first ever macaroon! *happy tears* It was a very momentous occasion, and now I want more.

A trip to Dublin is never complete without Starbucks. I love how I took this photo, but I wasn't even ready for it...hence my hand awkwardly holding the cup. Actually it looks like I'm offering you my coffee but lets be real, when would I ever give anyone my Starbucks.

We met with Lily and took the train back to Maynooth with her for a short visit. I also got her a malteaser chocolate bunny cause I'm awesome like that yo.

I think Roi & I deserve an award for making it back from Maynooth to Dublin and then back to Cavan all in one piece. Idc if the train station is right beside busaras, this is us we're talking about....we have no concept of direction, therefore this is a major achievement for us OKAY?! U_U

November?

Hello. My name is Shauna and I need to stop taking selcas instead of doing homework.

Pretty sure I took that last month, November. Which sounds crazy to say since it's December now aka 

almost Christmas aka almost 2013 WTF. 6th year is just flying. I actually cannot.

I'm trying to remember things I did in November but since the months have gone by so quickly my mind has blurred October and November together as one month wtf.

I think one of the most ~exciting~ things I did this month was go to see Macbeth in the Helix. My school didn't get tickets for the daytime showing, so we ended up leaving at 5pm to go to the later showing, which resulted in us getting back sometime after midnight.

Grainy selca with Lynnie while waiting for food in McMahons. Their pesto panini is the bomb digity yo.

Camera-avoiding ninja, Roi. u_u

Me, Lynnie, Roi, Anastasia, Gael & Eimear on the super comfy sofa in the Helix. There wasn't enough room for all of us so I was sort of lying on top of Lynnie. Sorry about that lolol.

I like when Roi suddenly decides she wants to take part in our camwhoring. ^_^

Overall the play was quite good. There were some...interesting scenes that we shall never speak of again. O_O Macbeth himself was a bit meh cause even though he's an awful person and etc. we're still supposed to feel sorry for him cause soul in torment and whatnot but like...I was sitting there just waiting for him to die cause he was starting to annoy me. Also, Fleance was cute.

The second (and last) remotely interesting thing I did in November was go to the Maynooth open day! We've been excited about this for ages cause we'd all get to spend the day with Lily, but then she had to go to a student protest that day so I only saw her for like...less than two minutes *sniffs*

I also got to meet Lynnie's ultra kawaii puppy Elvie/Elvey/how do you guise spell it otl.

Soooooooooo cute!!! T___________T

#thuglyfe #swag etc etc etc

    

I finally got to try Roi's Nutella hot chocolate! Seriously, she'd been telling me for like 1-2 years how amazing Nutella hot chocolate is and how she needs to make me some and omg, it was divineeeeeeeeeee. <3

Before we left for Maynooth! I remember it was super frosty that morning, and very very very very cold. *shivers*

Roi had to wear her school coat cause it was the only one she had lolol. I was gonna make a joke about her remembering her jeans this time at least...but then I realised she wore a dress. Two dresses, if I remember correctly. Roi is a master in the art of layering clothes yo.

Maynooth is definitely still my 1st choice but.....I'm still debating on what I exactly want to do. I honestly have no idea how some people know exactly what career they want to have at this age. There's so many things I want to do and the thought of sticking to the one career for the rest of my life seems awful. D:

And lastly, me, completely wrecked after Maynooth. My logic: lie down and take selcas instead of actually getting ready for bed wtf.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas ^O^

^Hello totes original post title.

To celebrate the start of Christmas time, let's all gather around and have a big cheesy singalong with Frank and Bing. ^_^

For those living on the isle of Ireland, The Late Late Toy Show was on Friday! For those who don't know what it is, you're missing out on life yo. u_u I have to say the highlight of the show for me was this little dude....

I honestly couldn't stop laughing. Can he please be our future president?

Since it's now December, I can start finally preparing properly for Christmas without feeling odd. The house is almost fully decorated and I also got a really cute small tree for my room...which I've been meaning to get for I think 2 years now. Procrastination at it's best right there. I've also been planning out presents for friends & family too. *excitement*

Hello Kitty advent calender! The fact that it's cute makes up for the average chocolate inside ok.

I may or may not have finally purchased one of these today. Tacky Christmas jumpers are a necessity tbh. I would buy one for every day if I could. I should feel ashamed for writing that but.........I don't. #YOLO

Three of my favourite Christmas candles by Yankee. <3 Cara 2/C2/whatever they call their second shop were having a 3 for 2 on Yankee candles so, like, it would've been rude not to buy some and stuff and excuses lalalalal.

As you can probably tell, I'm in a rather Christmassy mood right now, which is going to be awful in the morning when I have to get up and go to school where it is freezing and poopy. But for now I shall remain in my Christmas bubble listening to Michael Bublé's Christmas album and forget the fact that I have a maths test tomorrow. ^_^

Autumn

Instagram pictures from the end of September (when I got my...*gasp* iPhone 5! O.O) up until yesterday. Totally don't have an Instagram addiction....

My Autumn has basically been full of school, procrastinating, coffee, sleep, wanting to sleep, coffee, school, study, homework, more procrastinating, cursing procrastination etc etc~

But I can't complain since I had some pretty good memories too and Autumn is one of my favourite seasons because I can finally start wearing knit jumpers, cardigans and whatnot on a regular basis wtf.

I also loved this Autumn very much because...........I GOT CONCERT TICKETS FOR BIGBANG!!!! Actually, I don't even think I properly realise that I'm actually going to their concert and will actually see them perform right in front of me, actually. I got standing tickets for the Dec 15th concert w00t w00t! I'm currently debating whether I should buy a VIP crown headband or lightstick. These are the difficult choices I must face now, my friends.

It was my first time travelling by train (in Ireland) in October. 3 hour journey from Dublin to Cork, it was amazing. Sooo much better than a bus.

I can't even remember taking this picture, but it was sometime after 6am so we were probably still half asleep orz

I super love this picture cause I caught Roi off-guard and her expression is so cute lolol. Yay for front cameras!

I was at the UCC open day btw. I know, so so so so far away but it's okay cause Maynooth is still my first choice! ^O^

Shaunaderp squared. Cause I don't have enough pictures with Shauna ok.

One Thursday evening in the library with Lynnie and Lauren, who got a little bit distracted by my phone lolol. 

cute depiction of how biology often makes me feel~

Lady making some new friends. ^-^ Although the grey one did try to bite her but she's a bit....moody at times.

Skyping with Roi and Riri (and also Roi's nephew in the bg!). I'm sad cause we only have a trial for group video chatting, and after that you have to pay like €40 per year to use it. BOO.

Shauna, Lily and myself on the bus. We were going to Dublin to attend the Gangnam Style flashmob! This would've been a nice picture if it wasn't for my...face. soz guise xo

Yesterday in the library. I couldn't contain my excitement while doing my mountain of German homework. :3

And again (blame the front camera wtf), looking a little more...not depressed this time?

Now I'm super excited for Christmas and all things Christmas related! *squeals* I saw an ad on tv for for Disneyland Paris 20th anniversary and it was Christmas themed and I was like *teary eyed* I think Disneyland would be so nice to visit during Winter, but only if it's the nice Winter weather where it's cold, but the sun still shines, and there's snow. :3 I also really want to visit Denmark, Germany or Paris in general during Winter sometime. Oh, and Belfast. I live like 3 hours away but I've never been. :( Ok I shall end this now before this turns into an essay of things I would like to do during Winter....

Byeom!

The Beginning Of The End

(Is it just me or does the title sound very morbid? o_o)

Hello! Yes, it is the start of my last year of secondary/high school. I think this week is my....third week back? I actually have no idea to be honest, but it feels like it's been five months.I was told by multiple people on multiple occasions that 6th year would be completely tiring, and the over-tiredness finally kicked in full swing this week. I think I took around three coffees every day wtf.

I don't really know why I'm even making this post. Maybe cause I haven't blogged in a while and I want to try and blog more. I always say that though, and never follow it through. -_- I also have no pictures for this post either so it's going to look rather bare.

Anyhow, this week I'm getting the first of the HPV (cervical cancer) vaccinations. O_O I wasn't really that nervous about it but then today I had this weird freak-out over it when I was sweeping the kitchen floor wtf. Then I read some articles about people who got serious side effects from getting the vaccination and now I'm slightly terrified.

I shall go to sleep now, since it's past my bedtime. Oopsies. I shall schedule this to post sometime tomorrow methinks. How exciting, my first scheduled post! 

Byeoooooooooooooooooooom! ^_^

A Week In Pictures~

Hey hey ^_^

I'm doing my usual dump a tonne of pictures in one post thing~

It was my cousins wedding last weekend! The cake looked so pretty, but I never got to eat any of it. T-T It was an amazing day though, the weather turned out really nice and we all had an awesome time. 

I even had a seat reserved for me, 'cause I'm a VIP yo. u_u The food tasted so niceeeeeeeeeeee. I was so full after the meal, but I worked it all off with all the awkward wedding dancing I did wtf.

Me with my cousins Siobhan & Nathan. ^_^ It's such a random thing to have in a hotel lolol. They also had these life-size cardboard cut-outs of David Beckham, George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

I got those Sally Hanson nail polish strips...I think that's what they're called. I had them on for less than 12 hours and I somehow managed to chip them in that time. >_<'

Lady being her usual weird self~

In the car on the way to Blanchardstown~ to do some shopping!

Stuff I got in Republic ^-^ from L-R: 

1. Light Pink/Nude Chiffon Hi-Low Skirt: super pretty & girly, cannot wait to wear it out. I've been looking for a skirt like this for a while now.
2. Collar Necklace: I've wanted one for such a long time, I think I got the last one in the store muahahaha.
3. Zip-Front Dress: if I go out before the end of Summer I think I'll wear this, it has an elasticated waist so the bottom flows out really nicely...if that makes sense o.o I tried it on in white first, but then decided to go with this colour cause me + white clothes could end in a total disaster. Clumsy for life yo -____-
4. Rose Gold Peace Bracelet: idk I thought it looked nice so I got it. Rose gold is such a pretty colour. 

Penney's have really awesome Hello Kitty/My Little Pony/Disney/idk what else t-shirts rn. They be €7 each and the quality feels really good for Penney's. I want more now but I must contain myself. o.e Please ignore how creased they look though lolol.

STAAAAAAAAAAAHBUCKSSSSSSSSSSSS <3 *SQUEALS* I got a chocolate chip mocha frappuccino, actually idek if that's the correct name. I'm basically gonna live in a Starbucks when I go to uni btw.

Went to Belturbetland w/ Lily  on Thursday to visit Roi, who taught me how to make some weird head-thing out of a towel wtf. 

It was Lily's birthday yesterday! She's 18 now! Yaaaay! We look so short next to her wtf.

Cajun chicken panini from Delish. It was actually one of the nicest paninis I've ever tasted. *_*

Some drawings Roi drew for Lily, super amazing right?!

LOOOOOOOOOK!!! ROI DREW THIS FOR ME. ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^__^_^_^__^___^

Really I think I'm gonna frame it & put it up in my room.

Shauna wouldn't let me take a picture with her. =_= But in the photo it actually looks like I'm blocking her face with my hand lolol. Well, it sort of does. But that would mean I have a really short arm wtf.

Last but not least, a derpy picture of moi.

The end. o.o

Ps. WELCOME HOME LYNNIEEEEEEEEE! I MISSED YOU. T-T <3
