Thursday 22nd November 2012

Dear Heather Small, today, to make you feel proud, I planned an entire group presentation in an hour.. seems I'm getting used to these uni presentations :)

Wednesday 21st November 2012

Today, Heather Small, I am proud of myself as I got out of bed to say bye to my family when they left in the morning so that they'd think I was up and doing work, then went back to bed for two hours, win!! :D (it was my day off uni today, don't judge)

Tuesday 20th November 2012

So, Heather Small, what have I done today to make you feel proud? Well, today I had an assessed group presentation on art and I not only passed, but the tutor said it was the best presentation that she'd seen in three years, sooooo happy :D :D :D

Monday 19th November 2012

Hey, Heather Small, sorry that this blog is a day late, was up late working. Anyways, that's why you're to be proud of me today, cause I got a lot of work done today :)

Sunday 18th November 2012

I am proud of myself today, Heather Small, as I finished making the powerpoint for my group presentation, so all there's left to do now is present it on Tuesday :)

Saturday 17th November 2012

Today, Heather Small, I am proud of myself as we have an assessed group presntation on Tuesday at uni for which only one person out of our group of four has sent me their part to include in the powerpoint, yet I managed not to have a complete mental breakdown haha

Friday 16th November 2012

Today, Heather Small, we had a seminar at uni which involved us conversing with some of the P.E. students.. That's why you should be proud of me today, cause I actually had some decent chat with them :) P.S. this is my 50th blog post on this blog, so another thing to be proud of me for :D

Thursday 15th November 2012

Well, Heather Small, today I am proud of myself as I managed to navigate around all the roadworks and drive out from town to my house, in the dark, which I haven't done before. So, yeah, quite an achievement in my opinion haha.

Wednesday 14th November 2012

Today I spent my afternoon making the powerpoint for my group presentation next week, Heather Small, so I'm pretty proud that that's one more thing (almost) out of the way :)

Tuesday 13th November 2012

Today, Heather Small, was my last uni drama workshop til 2nd year.. I survived, wahey!! :D be proud!

Monday 12th November 2012

So, Heather Small, I am proud of myself today as I got yet another assessment done for uni well ahead of submission date.. My personal learning poster. I know what you must be thinking.. A poster?! man, teacher training is even easier than I thought. NO, IT'S NOT. The poster is supposed to be stand alone and detail the development of our learning over a specific subject in the course so far, how are we supposed to do that?! Anyways, but I managed it, and I'm pretty proud of the end result :)

Sunday 11th November 2012

Today, Heather Small, I'm pretty proud of myself as I sorted all my uni stuff (lecture notes etc.) into folders, so they're now no longer lying all over my living room floor haha :)

Saturday 10th November 2012 (a.k.a. Beth's Birthday!!!)

Dear Heather Small, I hope you're proud of me today, beause today I finised and submitted one of my uni essays 6 days in advance :D only 9 more assignments and a one week placement to go now in the next month :) :L

Friday 9th November 2012

So, Heather Small.. Today I'm glad that I'm writing my blog one day late. Why? Because yesterday (being Friday), we had a quiz at my church to raise money for the project we visited in Uganda in the summer. This is why I'm proud, because today (Saturday) I found out how much it made.. £1225 (which will become £1366 after gift aid)!!!!!! Soooooo happy :D :D :D :D

Thursday 8th November 2012

Today, Heather Small, I made up for yesterday's lack of work (ish) and read a lot of my uni readings, proud! :)

Wednesday 7th November 2012

To make you feel proud today, Heather Small, I watched TV/slept for the most of the day, when I should have been getting started on an essay.. Procrastination win! <3

Tuesday 6th November 2012

Today, Heather Small, I did P.E. and I enjoyed it, properly enjoyed it :D impressive, eh? Though it was probably because we spent the entire lesson galloping around the P.E. hall and sliding beanbags across the floor xD

Monday 5th November 2012

Well, Heather Small, today survived the second out of three hour and a half sessions of drama at uni.. The tutor even asked my group of five to demonstrate something to the other 20 people in the group, and I did it! So I hope you're proud of me, cause it took a lot of courage, and I'm proud of myself :)

Sunday 4th November 2012

To make you feel proud today Heather Small, I listened to an entire Beatles record.. AMAZING <3 also got quite a lot of work done so pretty pleased with myself :)

Saturday 3rd November 2012

Well, Heather Small.. to make you feel proud today, I tidied up all my uni stuff which has gradually taken over the living room floor in the last few weeks. Also, I ate three helpings of Chinese food for tea xD

Friday 2nd November 2012

Today, Heather Small, my achievement is to do with eating, in that I had a Boots meal deal for lunch, a drink and croissant at Starbacks at fourses, and a McDonald's for tea.. think I've just about made up for the fact I had to do two hours of P.E. earlier this week hehe

Thursday 1st November 2012

So, Heather Small, this (as in Thursday, cause I'm late posting my blog yet again - silly uni getting in the way of my blogging)I managed to watch a film instead of getting any work done.. win at life haha.

Wednesday 31st October 2012

To make you feel proud today, Heather Small, I declined an offer to go to starbucks with uni people in order to get work done, cause there's so much of it to do.. So dedicated to uni ;) :L

Tuesday 30th October 2012

Today, Heather Small, to make you feel proud, I was eight minutes early for my bus to uni.. Possibly my new record :L

Monday 29th October 2012

Apologies for the late blog (again).. soooo many readings to do :( anyways.. Today, Heather Small, is possibly the thing I'm most proud of doing out of everything referrenced so far in this blog. Today, I had an hour and a half drama workshop, and I SURVIVED :D why is this a proud moment.. Drama has to be my least favourite subject, not because it's a bad subject or anything like that, but because at the beginning of high school my drama teachers were HORRIBLE to me, they made the class laugh at me and reduced me to tears (not something which happens easily.. the tears bit, everyone laughs at me anyways). So I was dreading the drama workshop, but I managed it, and it wasn't too scary, so go me!!! :D

Sunday 28th October 2012

To make you feel proud today, Heather Small, I have worked all afternoon doing uni readings to keep ahead of things, even though it's a Sunday so normally my day off work.. I'm sre it'll be worth it in the long run :)

Saturday 27th October 2012

Today, Heather Small, it is now two months for which I have practised violin every day.. Dedication :)

Friday 26th October 2012

I know this is being posted late again, but I've had so much uni work to do this weekend that I've had no time :( still love me guys? :) So, anyways, Heather Small, to make you feel proud today my violin teacher said I did well at my violin lesson today, cheesing :D

Thursday 25th October 2012

So, Heather Small, what did I do to make you feel proud today? I listened to Busted, and to Christmas music, hence showing my coolness, be proud! :D

Wednesday 24th October 2012

The thing which I've done to make you feel proud today, Heather Small, is that I finished writing my first university essay, and I survived it :)

Tuesday 23rd October 2012

Today, Heather Small, I am proud as I, along with four other people in my group, presented a fifteen minute maths lesson on area to twenty other students. And it actually went pretty well I think, so happy :)

Monday 22nd October 2012

My thing to be proud of today, Heather Small, is that I got 10 answers right in University Challenge, my new pb.. Feeling like such a genius right now xD

Sunday 21st October 2012

What am I proud of today..? Firstly, I met someone I screwed over a few years ago when I was going through an idiot phase, and I apologised, and now we're friends <3 also, I was so tired after the weekend that I fell asleep with my head in my holdall when I was unpacking it.. Win at life!! :D

Saturday 20th October 2012

Well, Heather Small, today was the first full day of the university Cu (Christian Union) Houseparty (weekend away). Why am I proud..? Because I went knowing basically no-one and managed to be sociable and actually make some friends (who don't all think I'm weird, even though I was wearing an Eeyore hat all evening hehe).. Totes stayed up til 2.45 in the morning talking to people I'd only met about 4 hours before, yaaaaayy!!!!!! :D

Friday 19th October 2012

So, Heather Small, today I had a 20 minute group presentation to do at uni on learning theories in primary education.. My tutor said ours was 'perfect', so obv I'm pretty chuffed :D

Thursday 18th October 2012

Guys (and Heather Small), I owe you a huuuuge apology. I was going away the weekend so I have had literally no time to be blogging.. I'm catching you up on my life now, though :) So today (and by that, I mean Thursday) my thing to be proud of was that I got all my packing for the weekend away done ONE DAY IN ADVANCE.. Sooo impressive for me, I normally pack in the half hour before going away somewhere haha

Wednesday 17th October 2012

What have I done today to make you feel proud, Heather Small, I hear you ask.. Well, today I finished all my uni readings up to the end of next week (I think), yaay!! :D

Tuesday 16th October 2012

Sorry again, Heather Small that I'm a day late with this blog.. It was my parents' anniversary yesterday so we were having some family time :) anyways, that's what I did to make you feel proud.. after uni I went and bought them flowers and chocolates and a card to give them, not only that but, though it was a joint present from my brother and I, I paid for it all. Man, I'm such a lovely person :) :L

Monday 15th October 2012

So, Heather Small, today is the 50th consecutive day that I've practised violin, that's what I'm proud of today :D :D

Sunday 14th October 2012

So, Heather Small, the thing you should be proud of me doing today is that I helped to improvise a Sunday school lesson as a last minute stand in. Yeahh!

Saturday 13th October 2012

So, this morning I got up at 11am to get uni work done, and that's my thing to be proud of today. I know this may seem lazy to you, Heather Small, but for me, Saturday's my one long lie of the week, and I'm normally exhausted so sleep in a lot later, which is why you should be proud of my dedication to my uni work :)

Friday 12th October 2012

To make you proud today, Heather Small, I shall inform you that I actually enjoyed on of my education lectures.. I guess the content of them just hasn't interested me so far, but today's and yesterday's have been brilliant (on peer tutoring and adult guided learning - two things I'm extremely interested in about teaching) so I took a ton of notes and am really looking forward to the next lecture :D

Thursday 11th October 2012

My dearest Heather Small, I apologise profusely that this is over a day late but I have had so much work to do :( (yeah guys, looking for your pity here). But this is what I did today (a.k.a. Thursday) to make you feel proud.. I programmed a toy robot (that looks like a bee!) to travel to different squares on a 'map'. Primary ed. win! But, in all seriousness, I'm a tremendous fail at technology so it actually was kind of an achievement haha ;)

Wednesday 10th October 2012

What have I done today to make you feel proud, Heather Small? Firstly, and I know it's not technically something I've done, but this blog reached over 100 views today, which is impressive considering that I'm relatively unpopular and uninteresting haha. Secondly, I have spent twelve hours today doing uni work.. That is dedication! :L

Tuesday 9th October 2012

Well, Heather Small, today I am proud at something I've achieved. It's not something huge, and you probably won't find cause to be incredibly proud of me, but it's big for me. Today, I got a text from someone at uni (who I first spoke to less than three weeks ago), and at the end of it she wrote 'xxx'. Three x's! I'm actually making friends, yaay :D

Monday 8th October 2012

So, Heather Small, what have I done today to make you feel proud..? Well, I actually answered things in front of the class in both of my workshops today, on a number of occasions, which is a huuuuuge achievement for me as I'm generally quite shy in front of big groups of people, especially when I've only known them for a few weeks. Perhaps my confidence is growing :)

Sunday 7th October 2012

I know this is a day late but for some reason Blogger wouldn't let me post anything last night :/ so here's yesterday's blog today, and for its lateness (despite it having been beyond my control) I apologise. Dear Heather Small, today I helped at my church's Sundad school. Though not necessarily something to be particularly proud of, it gave me yet more practise for teaching, which is a pretty good think in itself :)

Saturday 6th October 2012

Sorry, Heather Small, that I am yet again late with my blog post. Today (though it's technically now yesterday), I am proud of myself as I filed all of my lecture slides, notes and readings from uni so far into folders so that I can actually find stuff easily now :)

Friday 5th October 2012

Today, Heather Small (though I am aware that it is, yet again, after midnight), I did two hours of violin practise which, considering how unusual an event that it for me, I'm pretty proud of. However, this was completely blown off the scale when I found this next thing to be proud that I've achieved. wait for it..... I found an apple that looked like a bum (!), oh what a glorious discovery (no sarcasm intended). I had taken a photo of it but it seems to have disappeared, so apologies. Over and out :)

Thursday 4th October 2012

Dear Heather Small, I know that it's past midnight, so I apologise for the lateness of this blog post, but that is why you should be proud of me today: because I have spent all day doing readings/work for uni and currently am printng off more that I'm yet to do. And though I still have a mountain of work left to do, I got an awful lot done today, and that's something to be proud of :)

Wednesday 3rd October 2012

I honestly have no idea what I've done today to make you feel proud Heather Small, sorry. Slept in til midday, did some work for uni, bought new jeans, watched Merlin. That's about it really. Hope I've not disappointed you too much. Much love x

Tuesday 2nd October 2012

Today, Heather Small, I learned the basics of making a lesson plan, and then had to write three of my own, which my tutor said were good :) I'm happy that I'm finally starting to understand things at uni :)

Monday 1st October 2012

Oink!

Well today, Heather Small, I ate a Subway for lunch (a sandwich, not an underground train system) and then, to complete my meal, I ate an entire bag of Percy Pigs. I hope you're proud of this feat, it took some doing haha.

Sunday 30th September 2012

Well Heather Small, today I sat all afternoon in a room which, I saw when I walked in, a (rather large) spider also occupied and didn't complain. Given that less than three months ago (before Uganda - spiders there could have, potentially, killed me, jumped, and were mltile times bigger, so ones here don't seem quite so terrifying) I'd probably have run out of the room in tears upon seeing it, I think it's something to be proud of  :)

Saturday 29th September 2012

Onesieee!!

Today, Heather Small, I stayed in my pyjamas all day (I'll explain here that I'm ill so, for once, I have an excuse to have done so).. I'm pretty proud of myself for that (in my world, it's an achievement) :D

Friday 28th September 2012

So, here's my new blog :) Guess what it's based on (defo not a reference to Miranda or anything..). Basically, the plan is to write a mini blog post every day so that you can find out about my life in a few sentences :) Whether that'll work out or not, I don't know haha.

So here's my one for today:

Well Heather Small, today I got up at 6.30 to make sure info for this morning's lecture still hadn't been put up.. How dediceted am I?! I also actually answered some of the questions we were asked in today's seminar.

Yaay!!
