I was just randomly thinking about politeness. By politeness i mean when people tell you what you want to hear. For instance, after your boyfriend dumps you and your feeling really down and your friend says 'dont worry, your better off without him' when what they are really thinking is 'wow i thought they were going to be together forever!'. Obviously people do it to be kind, to help the person heal or feel better with their words. Which is all well and good!
What i dont get is why we cant just say the truth. Using the boyfriend example again you don't have to be rude and say 'my god your a heffer no ones going to love you again' but you could say 'i really didnt see that one coming and im really sorry its happened!'.
This came about because i was thinking about my current situation in which i do not have a teaching job for seprember and most of my driends do. And so i find myself in the position whrre my future is going ti be supply work. Now i hate when people say 'its good experience' or 'you make more money' (you dont btw) id rather people say 'crap, hope you find a job soon.'
I just think theres a way to put a spin on the truth and i really dislike when people "try to make me feel better" in that condesending manner.
Rant is done (if you can call it that).
God bless and good night :) x

Projecting
Right, now we get onto the real reason why I decided that tonight I would finally blog for the first time since I got home from Holiday. Since I've been back I haven't stopped socially! The first night I went to watch harry potter (amazing), next night I went out for dinner, next night I went to a friends house for takeaway and a film, next night dinner and harry potter (yes again), next night school play and tonight dinner. This officially continues until friday. I have never known a time in my life where I have been so socially active. Anyway this post isnt really about my social life directly, I'm just explaining why I havent blogged for a while.
Now my blackberry has recently stopped working (twat) and so therefore as an early birthday present I asked my mum if she could please buy me a new one. Obviously today was the wrong day to ask, because she was NOT in a good mood. Obviously something bad had happened at work or even something minor on the bus, but the fact is that she turned around and projected (now do you see where the title comes in) her issues onto me. Now I had a fabulous day, shopping, dining, and just generally shooting the breeze, so it took me a long time to loose my temper. But eventually I was sick of being told off like a child so I lost it good. Anyway, eventually she left me alone after a few choice words on my part.
Basically this post is about (yeah I'm finally getting to the point) if you have an issue with someone, sort it out with them, don't take it with you and pass it on to the next person! Because now I bet im going to be really rude to someone (if i havent already) and they cycle will be neverending).
Anyway sad times. Now I want to go to bed.

Tunisia 2011
So I never did a Tunisia post, and I doubt I ever will to be honest. There was a lot that happened in Tunisia that I would like to stay close to me and don't necessarily want to share it with the world. But I just wanted to do a post that acknowledged that I really enjoyed my time there, and would love to go back! Hopefully I will get a chance too next year!

Parking fine
So guys, today I got my first parking fine. Apparently, I drove in a bus lane in Kingston upon Thames. Anyway I went on google maps to see where I drove in a bus lane and it turns out the whole road was a bus lane! Don't know how I missed that! So it is my own stupid fault! Ah well!
Anyway, interestingly, last night I was talking to my mum about how whenever I'm about to get money, I always have to spend it on some big thing. For instance, last time I worked at the holiday club, I had to buy a new battery for my laptop because it broke. So I didn't get a chance to enjoy my money. So I was saying to my mum that I was surprised that nothing had come up yet, because I have been working to get some holiday money. Anyway, I wake up this morning and what do I find? A parking fine, lovely jubly! So I have to spend some money on that now! The life of a student in England sucks!

Day 28, 29 & 30
Because I am going on holiday tomorrow, I thought I would do the last couple of days of my 30 day challenge now so that I stay consistent! So I guess I have come to the end of my 30 day challenge, its been real, I hope you've all enjoyed reading!
Day 28 - Something that you miss
I miss my amazing sisters Tara and Bella. I would really love either to get a job during the summer or somehow get enough money to be able to go and visit them for christmas. It's been a year (almost) since I saw them last!
Day 29 - Goals for the next 30 days
- To enjoy my holiday
- To make some money to tide me over the summer
- To keep looking for a job (and hopefully get one)
- To enjoy life and stop being such a worrywort!
Day 30 - Your highs and lows of the month
I'll do this for 5th June to the 5th July.
Highs
- Getting a B on school experience
- Finishing school experience
- Passing my degree with a 2:1
- Graduation ball (from what I remember)
- Working at the after school club
Lows
- Getting my first parking fine (bollocks)
- School experience
- Last boring ass lecture
- Getting the flu
- Getting food poisoning
So all in all it seems like I had a pretty mixed month. I have to say that is how my life is going at the moment, very mixed, nothing overly good, nothing overly bad. CAN SOMETHING REALLY GOOD HAPPEN NOW PLEASE? So bored of the mundane life I'm living!

Day 27 - A problem that you have had
Money. Pounds, euro, dollars, dinar, naira, cedi, baht, yuan. What ever currency you spend, the lack of money is a definitive problem. I know the saying is 'more money, more problems' but I find if you don't have money, thats an even bigger problem.
Example 1: I am going on holiday on Wednesday and had no spending money until recently.
Example 2: When I come back from holiday, I have no idea how I am going to put petrol in my car.
Example 3: I really wanted to go to Manchester this summer but this isn't going to happen because I don't have any money.
e.t.c e.t.c e.t.c
To make matters worse, I don't have a job lined up for Septemeber, so I don't have a clue how I am going to make ends meet!
Well you did ask...

Chat up lines - the last one is my fave x
Is that the sun coming up... or is that just you lighting up my world?
Baby, you are everything I never knew I always wanted.
If kisses were snowflakes, I'd send you a blizzard.
Girl, your body is a wonderland, and I want to be Alice so that I can run around all over you.
You are so hot you make the windows fog.
Some say there are 7 wonders in the world. Some say there are more. Some say everything in life is a wonder. But to me, There is only one....You!
I saw a flower this morning and I thought it was the most beutiful thing I've ever seen until a gazed upon you.
I know I dont have a chance, but I just wanted to hear an angel talk.
If you were a pill I'd overdose.
I hope your day is as radiant as your smile.
Looking at a rose is like looking at your beautiful face.
I bet my tongue can beat up your tongue.
When I saw your face I thought I died and went to heaven.
Your lips look so lonely, Would they like to meet mine?
Hey you almost killed me! I saw you and forgot how to breathe.
Excuse me, can you empty your pockets? I believe you have stolen my heart.
What is the cross between the moon and the stars? You
I would give up eterinity to be with you.
Is there an airport near by or is that my heart taking off?
I got skittles in my mouth... wanna taste the rainbow?
Yesterday, I tried to paint you, but I couldn't... the colors weren't beautiful enough.
Do you have some water? 'Cause you set my heart on fire.
There must be something wrong with my eyes, I can't take them off you.
Girl, you better have a license, cuz you are driving me crazy!
I hope you know CPR, because you take my breath away.
Damn, if being sexy was a crime, you'd be guilty as charged!
If you were a booger I'd pick you first.
Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
That shirt is very becoming on you. But if I was on you, I'd be coming to ;)
