finals week:

24 March , 2008

This week I will have an exam on thursday, so I will be studying a lot.  

So, the last couple of days I was on a cruise to Newcastle. I made some lovely pictures, which I will post on the blog later this week.

 Oh dear, I was seasick on the way to Newcastle…it was awful and I was really happy when the sickness subsided. In Britain, the Customs officer was really jolly, and asked me “are you going on a shopping expedition?”. Teehee, I answered “Yes, does that show on my face?”

Yeh, my sister in law and I were on a shopping expedition. Ofcourse, I guided her to the Primark and bought some lovely shirts and underwear. The Primark was not as hot as in Liverpool, just 2 floors, but it still had some goodies.

New look was wonderful: I bought a florally painters skirt and a bird-dress…quite funky. I passed upon a couple of peeptoe-boots, because the heels were too English (which means incredibly high).

There was not that much time to shop, and I had to ease my pace in order to let the SIL enjoy herself as well (normally, I am the shopping tornado-fast, destructive, and takes what comes in her path).

I was not too happy with handing in the cheque I got from Hope University (my refund for the deposit of the room) because NatWest did not want to give me money for the cheque, unless I had a British account…the bastards! It was a NatWest cheque!!! Ugh…So I have to contact Hope University about that!

 As I said, it was a lovely trip, and I was glad to be in Great Britain again…

The Costa Rica thing has been put on hold for a while. My cowardish boyfriend is not that eager to go, yet.
 However, this sunday I will be going on a mini-cruise with my sister-in-law! We will be doing the general Newcastle cruise…it is free for her, and not so expensive for me.

I already checked if they have a Primark, a Topshop and a New Look….they have! I am looking forward to this.

The last couple of days, and weeks, have been really rough on me. I had some arguments with people at my Uni (a bitchy, controlfreak groupmate) and my boyfriend and I have some arguments every now and then. Plus, I had to do tons of homework and assignments….Lets say it is time for a short break… Wish me a good time…

This beauty is for sale on ebay. It is definately too small for me, but it looks adorable.

Too bad that most vintage products only come in smaller sizes.
