My graduation photos arrived the other day, super pleased with them 
(apart from the editing I had to do on the hood, but whatever, I won’t go into that).

Hey, yeah, so, I got a 2:1. Seriously pleased about that; I have a degree in Psychology!
In other news, after job hunting in the psychology area to absolutely no luck, managed to get myself a job at the Number Fifteen pub in St. Annes. Worked two day shifts there where it turns into pretty much just a cafe, with tea and a toasted teacake for £2, the oldies LOVE IT! All the regulars are awesome, aaand from working Friday and last night (Retro night – I had some awesomely nineties clothes inc. a bumbag going on) I got £20 worth of tips, HELLO MONEY!
Graduation on Tuesday, I have my outfit, generic black pencil skirt and a short sleeved white blouse without a collar. Had my hair cut too yesterday. Excited about wearing the whole hooded gown and mortarboard, but not looking forward to the 7am start though. This new job is tiring me out!
My finals are OVER.
That means no more uni for me! AH!
Not sure what I’m doing with my life, going to get a job -need to actually try to. I really want to study medicine but 1) I’d need to get in, 2) I’d need like £20000 at least to do it. Natwest do professional loans, but seriously, I don’t need any more debt! I can’t stop thinking about how good it would be to be a surgeon or something, STHUPER COOL right?!
I’m watching Bizarre ER and it’s so disgusting. I love it. It reeeally makes me want to be a doctor, but it makes me worry because I really can’t hack finger nails gone wrong. I don’t mind mangled arms in tractor engines, or faces peeled off, but a finger nail bent back is just CRINGE FACE!
So done all my uni coursework, I have three exams starting in like four days. I’ve barely done any revision and I’m blatantly not going to get a first anymore. My last two coursework essays have pulled my marks right down, which is a pile of shit, who puts two essay hand in dates the day before your dissertation is in. I mean FFS.
I’ll need to get firsts in all my exams to get a first overall, and seeing as counselling is a pile of fucking balls that had pretty much no teaching, it’s not going to happen.
So gutted. I barely want to try anymore. This is SHIT.
Guess what I’m doing tonight?
NOTHING!
That’s because I finished my dissertation today, (in between having lunch with me mum and dad at pizza express which was lovely), and put it in for binding! Ready tomorrow morning at nine, in time for hand in at four. I’m not going to read it through now though, if I see a mistake I might die. Seven months of work off my back, and no more deadlines whoop! annnnnd…
STEAK for tea. Monstrous!
Oh and found out Top Gear were filming in St. Annes today – Quality!
OMG OMG I’m going to Amsterdam this weekend! Friday till Monday. Exciting! However what isn’t exciting is the 3500 word dissertation proposal due in on Friday. I have done about 1500 words so far -and those are the easy bits. Oh and I also have to do a poster as well! Eek!
Get to meet one of Will’s (pretty much best) friend’s from London, Matt, because he’s over in Amsterdam too visiting a friend. We’re going to go for a steak
Annnd when we get back….it’s like THE START OF CHRISTMAS! SO EXCITED! I have a new Me to You reusable advent calendar, it’s in the shape of a christmas tree and has little drawers you put chocolates in (my mum and dad put them in so I’d be surprised! Oh and of course they’re only the good flavours I like from Minature Heros -so I’ll have no disappointing days)
Oh and I got my xmas present early from my parents…I haven’t worn them yet, I’m too scared! Haha!
Hello sexy ugg boots:
Turns out I managed to actually do well at uni this year! I got an average of 64, which is a 2:1! I’m pretty pleased, hoping to put more work in next year and get a first or something, but considering I haven’t even got an idea for a dissertation yet I’m not so sure.
On the upside I’m going to Spain in 3 weeks, and Ireland just before that!
Okay, so I’ve been meaning to blog this for a while. Essentially another rant, but, anyway, I was in the MMUnion for a usual meet up with friends for lunch, and in the SU you have to buy the ketchup (which in itself is worth a rant) for 10p a sachet. I was reading the ingredients on the back of the sachet, and I was pretty shocked about what it contained, or more what it ‘may contain’.
Here we go:
Ingredients: Water, Glucose-Fructose, Syrup, Tomato Paste (15%), Modified Maize Starch, Salt, Acidity Regulators (x2 E numbers), Preservative (x1 E number), Spice extracts.
So out of the ingredients only 15% is tomato, and not even real tomatoes, it’s tomato PASTE. Blerh.
Caution: MAY CONTAIN nuts, peanuts, seasame seeds, mustard, celery, FISH, eggs, milk, soybeans, sulphites, cereals containing gluten.
What the hell?! I’ll stick to me heinz please, least that actually tastes tomatoey.
So after writing my complaint letter (about the piece of bone in my chicken nugget) to McDonalds, they wrote back with an apology and three £5 vouchers, not bad going really! However, after getting another meal from McDonalds a few days later I found another piece of bone in my chicken nugget. I haven’t been to that McDonalds since, I think it’s pretty disgraceful. I don’t even want to spend my free vouchers there!
On a happier note, I’ve finished all my exams! I get my results on July 12th, which is a bit nerve wrecking. I don’t really want to know what I got.
I had a great time camping the other weekend, bacon butties every morning, looking after my little second cousins, awesome BBQ, camp fire songs, general cousin love, and incredible sunburn!
I’ve also bought a new camera! It’s the same as my old one so not much to report there, but it’s great having a camera again.
Will and I also booked a holiday to Altea, Spain For the end of July for a couple of weeks, just a shame I now have no money to buy holiday clothes or much else! Oh well I don’t need many clothes to get a tan 
Francis has been fixed -but with a NON-Fiat windscreen *sigh*, looks alright though apart from a bit of a shoddy installation. On a side driving note, what’s with petrol prices slowly creeping back up?! It’s like 95p a litre 
rip off. I swear it was like 79p when I first started driving- back in my day!
In the middle of my exams at the moment, the end of my second year of uni. I’ve had five so far: Sociological Theory, Applied Social Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Women Representation and Realities, and Conceptual and Historical Issues in Psychology. Exams left: Cognitive Psychology, Neuropsychology, and Developmental Psychology. Considering last year, I pretty much failed because I didn’t do any coursework and I had to resit, I’m feeling more hopeful for this year. I even got a first in my Personality and Abnormality coursework, which I surprised myself with greatly!
Not really sure what else I have to blog, watched all episodes of Lost again and now I’m up to date, but to be honest it just blags your head with all the time travel shizzle. Also partly watching Spooks as Will has gotten into it, it’s not bad really.
I bought the Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps boxset series 1-6, only watched the first two episodes so far but it’s awesome. It was purchased last Saturday after a shopping binge, I’d had four exams in four days so I needed cheering up. I’m not doing too badly with the whole shopping thing at the moment -which is dangerous. Thinking of getting a new camera soon. I need to open a savings account really.
Bit dreary in Manchester currently, all the summer sun has gone in, and it’s just rainy and windy. Going to the lakes a week today (the bank holiday weekend) for a family camping trip, should be a laugh. Hopefully it won’t rain the whole time, that would be shit.
Anyway off to watch the third episode of Two Pints, and avoid revision.
