Busy Busy Busy!

So I'm pretty much all better now after having the wisdom tooth out. Not a nice experience and still feel a bit run down which is not cool. I'm making up to Fowler this weekend for not being at her birthday do last weekend by going out for dinner with her which will be lovely. And also I'm very excited about going away for the Easter bank hols with the girls and Robson to a little Welsh cottage in Anglesey :-) It will be much needed by the time it rolls around in a few weeks time.

At the moment, I'm cramming. I have so much going on career wise. This week I'm designing and planning my own double page spread using Adobe InDesign as part of my coursework to hand in with my exam next week. I have a Newswriting exam next Tuesday (12th) at Staffordshire Uni and a Sub Editing exam next Friday 15th (the one which I submit the coursework for as well). Luckily, I can sit this exam at the place I work (the Birmingham Mail office at Fort Dunlop) instead of going down to London which is a relief. In between these exams, I'm working and we have a massive sales day on the Thursday (14th)  where there is a lot of pressure to sell our lovely digital products. They're generally quite fun but it will be hectic.

On top, of all this coursework, revision, working and getting ready for the sales day, I have a deadline on Monday (11th) for Living Magazine which I write a few pages a month for to help out (it helps me out too but not at the moment when I'm soooo busy!). And on top of THAT, I have a Smudge Magazine deadline on the Friday (15th)! Luckily, I already have the first draft of this done.

If that was confusing to you- it definitely is to me. This is my week next week-

Monday 11th- Deadline for Living        
Tuesday 12th- News Writing Exam        
Wednesday 13th - REVISION!
Thursday 14th- Sales Day at work
Friday 15th- Deadline for Smudge
                Sub Editing Exam

To top things off, my tutor has told me he has a 100% pass rate from his students on the Sub Editing exam! PRESSURE!!

On Sat 16th though, I'm going to Cheltenham for the day, my old uni stomping ground, to catch up with a very good uni friend of mine, Aimie. I haven't seen her in a few years but I'm really looking forward to it. Our usual catch up's in Chelt usually consist of us going for lunch, getting drunk on wine and going shopping for clothes. TOP TIP- Don't go clothes shopping when your drunk- it results in you going back to the shop to return the item because usually its a) hideous b) the wrong size or c) just a little bit slutty.

In amongst all this, I am going to try and see Dan. Bless him, he's being so patient. Saying that, he's very busy himself revising for his own exams which will hopefully see him accepted into Leeds Uni come results time in August.

Pics of Fernando to come soon I promise! Love love love xx
