A Little Lost

A little blog of things I like...Photography, Illustrations, Fairytales, 1950s, 1960s, Disney, pretty much anything that looks pretty. Also the occasional ramble. Feel free to send me a message :)

Highlight of the Day

I finally found a top to go with a skirt that I’ve had for years!

This seems like such a silly thing but I always buy skirts I like and then never have tops that go with them.

One down and many many more to go 

Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.

I went to meet my dissertation supervisors today. After people taking forever to get back to us and sort things out we finally have the go ahead to start recruitment for my project! Starting on Tuesday I’ll be going and getting patients to take part in my study :)

Highlight of the Day

I have a lot of reasons to not like today.

I went to work but it was so dead that I asked to finish early so I only did an hour and a half even though I’m desperate for money. My thinking was that I needed to get home and get my coursework out of the way so that I’m not stuck spending my birthday doing it.

Then when I went to leave work my car broke down and I then had to wait for my Dad to collect me and then take my car to sort it out. Basically defeating the point of leaving work early to get on with the coursework. So I wasn’t getting paid and I wasn’t getting my work done.

I eventually got home and started on my coursework, which I discovered is WAY harder than I thought and I have been struggling with it for hours. There’s no way I’m going to have it finished before my birthday so for I think the 8th year in a row, I don’t get to celebrate it.

I know I’m kind of used to not celebrating it but I thought that this would be the first year I would have the option to actually enjoy the day instead of being stressed out (normally with exams but this year with coursework).

Anyway, I guess out of all of that the highlight would have to be that I think I’ve had some kind of breakthrough with my coursework. I’m going to send what I’ve done to my tutor and hope that she can go through it with me and tell me what I need to do.

Such a long and frustrating day.

My cousins made a last minute visit and we snuggled up and watched Mulan together. I had forgotten how good it is and how funny!
