Watched The Hangover. And a million other films. But this one most recently so I thought I’d mention it.

This film was actually pretty good, considering. My dad was shocked that I’d never seen it so we put it on. Another film to add to the list!

Update on some tasks in process.

22. Don’t drink fizzy drinks for one month [0/31]

May is the month for this, I think. I have exams to do and maybe it’ll let me sleep if I stop drinking caffinated beverages.

35. Make a skirt.

I’ve got the pattern, all I need is the material and my sewing machine to be fixed.

72. Volunteer at the hospital (for an extended period of time).

I’ve been ringing Glenda at the hospital for a while, now. She is never in the office when I ring. I always end up going to answer phone. I’m trying, though.

82. Only spend extended periods of  time with people who bring out the best in me.

This task is slowly happening. It’s the little things that start to improve my mood like hiding everything from certain people on facebook, not talking to others entirely and just ignoring the ones who really don’t help me to feel good about myself entirely.

87. Get my tonsils taken out, seriously.

I’ve had the pre-assessment at the hospital now and I’m just awaiting the letter from the NHS with my appointment dates. No more tonsillitis for me! Unfortunately until after my exams I will have to live with them being swollen 85% of the time.

For now that’s it - I’ll update when I next complete something or want to give another update on progress.

Chris and I went to see The Boat That Rocked in St Ives. It was a brilliant movie, to be perfectly honest. I loved it and definitely recommend!

Such a fantastic book, really. Everyone should read this book - no matter what age they are. It’s been sitting on my shelf since 200..4? I’m not entirely sure. Either way, I remember seeing the film when it came out and falling in love with the wonderful story and the book is, of course, even better. Read it!

I finished a book this weekend. It’s nice having half term where I actually have the time to read these things. It wasn’t the worst book I’ve read but it’s not up there with the great books either.
