In Time

Urgh I'm so tired. Belgium was wicked, I'll dedicate a post to it in the next few days but I don't have the energy today. I'm doing a life guarding course this half term. It's for 6 days, 8.30-5.30 and I'm already shattered! It's quite good though, I've learnt lots already and the people are really nice :) Oh and I've learnt lots more songs on the ukulele since I last posted :D

Update will be here soon, just thought I'd give you a courtesy post <3

BUZZING FOR BELGIUM

Tomorrow, me and 15 other students plus 2 teachers and very little knowledge of the French language are taking ourselves to Belgium!

We're getting the train to London at 8.15 tomorrow, we'll then get the Eurostar to Brussels and then a train to Liege where we'll say with our exchange partners for a week.

I'm excited but nervous. Half of me can't wait for the laughs and the fun and low drinking age (only 16!) but the other half is thinking of having to speak French, staying in an unfamiliar place and getting up at 6 every morning...

Anyway, I'm all packed and ready to go, just got to find some cards for the train, a camera and my passport! It's late but I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway :D

Au Revoir! See you in a week!

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.

Injections. Disgusting. Probably my biggest fear. Yet I want to be a vet...

Day 12 - A picture of something you love.

Long car journeys. iPod in, music on, dream away.
Short and sweet.
Hope you're all good :)

Ukulele

Sorry I haven't posted for ages, I've been busy as usual :) I went out for a meal last night for mine and a friend's birthday. I had a really good time actually, got pretty drunk and said lots of stupid things but it was fun :D

My friend Ffi came round for a few hours this evening and gave me my birthday present- a ukulele! It was a complete surprise, I'm not in the least bit musical...well I have my grade 1 violin but I don't think that counts...
Ffi is really into music, she plays about 10 instruments so whenever I go round to her house I always try and play the ukulele (and completely fail) so she bought me this one and stayed for a while to teach me how to play :D Ahh look at it it's so beautiful, and red to match my room!
As you can imagine I'm not that brilliant but I was surprised how easily I picked it up. I can now play 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz, 'Believer' from Shrek and '5 Years Time' by Noah and the Whale, I'm quite proud! I really want to carry on practising so I'm actually good :D
So I just thought I should let you know seeing as I'm majorly excited! I'll update you soon, I'm gong to Belgium on Wednesday so I'll deffo post before then, and lets hope I've learnt some more tunes :)

Thanks for reading,

Georgina xx
