Another London weekend!!!=)

Yes, as you can see, I came back to London!!! I´m in love with this city!! Everytime I go, I enjoy myself a lot!
This time we had an excuse. One of my friends had lost her ID and she didn´t have her passport so she has to go to the Spanish embassy to make it because if not, she couldn´t come back home for Christmas. Therefore, as a good friend, I decided to go with her! We bought a cheap ticket and went there! It was going to be an adventure because we hadn´t buy the return ticket because we expected one friend to gave us in a lift to come back to Southampton on Monday. We caught the train at 5am and arrived there at 7.30am more or less. It was so empty that we could enjoy the typical famous places alone. I has never seen London without almost anybody in the streets, obviously it was really early and Saturday. We went to a cafe to fill time and after that, we met one italian friend to leave our suitcase in her friend´s house so that we could sightsee freely. Before visiting anything, we went to the embassy. It was quite crowded so just my friend went into the building. I took advantage of this time to visit Chelsey (great quartier that my father recommend me to go and I can say it was worth it) and I also went to Harrods where I met my friend again. We decided to make a different tour this time, we knew The London Bridge, The Buckhingham Palace, and the Big Ben by heart (exaggerating) so we wanted to change it and go to other places. Then, we went to Candem town and Oxford Street because we wanted to go shopping. After that we went to the house of the girl and got changed to go to a party in a loft located in The Canary Wharf which is a major business district in East London. We had lot of fun and then we came back to the house because we were recommended to visit Portobello Market and Soho before going back to Southampton. The weekend was great because finally we arrived home by car and thinking about how amazing had those two days in London been!

Hawaian Party!!!

Amazing!!!!!!
Well, yesterday I went to the gym and then to my classes. I handed in my magazine pages and everything was ok so I was really happy not only for that but also for the Hawaian Party! Some friends and I organised this party. It´s being really cold and we thought that making parties inside the residence would be a great idea. We made an event on Facebook and people started to join the party.
The day arrived and we enjoyed so much! we were wearing some Hawaian clothes and we bought a pineapple to take our drinks.
The bad thing in the following day....and that we were making lot of noise as the security told us....=)

Different weekend!

On Friday evening, we had a party in Miriam´s friend´s house. It was one Italian´s birthay and we went there to celebrate it! I didn´t know them because they aren´t in my classes but I met them and they were really nice! Almost everyone was from Italy apart from come guys who were from Ireland. We were partying there eating some cakes (too many birthays...) and then we went to Vodka Revolutions to continue the party! We were dancing and talking to them and I really enoyed until the club closed and we had to go home. This time, Evelin didn´t come because she had to do a presentation so she stayed at home.

On Saturday, I went to the gym when I woke up (and it was late, believe me) and then I called my friends to know if we were going to so something special or just staying at home. They told that there were going to organise a dinner so I went there and we were talking with our German´s friends till late. We made some pictures and chatted the whole night.

Yesterday, my day off, and today, I´ve been finishing my magazine pages for the heavy magazine, yes I know it´s never-ending but i´m quite worried because it´s the first time I design a magazine, well, at least, two pages of a magazine so I spent all my time doing it and going to the gym in my spare time.

I promise I´ll tell you more interesting things from now on!

Time to study

All I can say since last Saturday till yesterday is that I was making my presentation. As usual, I didn´t think about that in advance so I had to get cracking to do my best. I went to the gym both in Monday and Wednesday to clear my head and went to the uni because the attendance is very important.
I was looking for information, I read some books about Swedish Public TV (SVT) and Keynes. The point was answering to the question "How would Keynes respond to the political economy of SVT and why?". I should say that it was quite complicated because I has to do some researches and being well informed about something really unknown for me. I decided to so my Power Point in a schematic way and writing some key point not to loose the information I wanted to say. I became too nervous as the day was approaching but my flatmates tried to keep me calm saying that I would succeed. So basically, I was shut away apart from going to the uni or the gym.

Finally, yesterday was presentation. I had all the day until 4.00PM to prepare it and said it aloud not to exceed the 10 minutes... I was a nervous wreck!! While I was going to the uni, I tried to practise it aloud and people would think that I was crazy! When I arrived, I had to wait a little bit because some of my classmates were still doing theirs. At the end, I entered in the class, the young lecturer was there waiting for me with a wide smile. I put my memory stick in the computer and I started to present my topic. After 13 minutes, I finished my presentation...it´s strange when you devote hours and hours doing something to finish all of that in 13 minutes. I would say that it´s really unpleasant but, anyway, I was free again!!=) Afterwards, I came back to my residence to rest because I had slept only a little during those days. Furthermore, I had classes the following day at 9.00AM. Finally, I slept like a log!!


Now I´m at home because today my classes from 11.00 to 13.00 have been cancelled so I will go to the gym and then I have to come back to do some homework not to be as stressful as those past days.

Busy days

Yes, as you can notice, I´ve been absent again but this time I have uni reasons, so I hope you not to be angry with me=)

On Wednesday, I had Making Magazines classes and it was a little bit stressful because we are supossed to hand in two magazine´s pages for next week and I find it quite complicated. We were waiting for the lecturer because it´s time for graduations and he couldn´t come on time and meanwhile, we we discussing about how to do the music magazine. I was writing the music reviews which needs much more time and then I would design the page.
The lecturer gave us some advice to succeed but I thought that it was going to be a hard work and the worst thing of all was that I was accumulating lots of uni works. When I arrived home I tried to follow writing as I had promised myself but I was really tired so I rested in the dining room talking to my flatmates and the I went to bed.
On Thursday (also known as "my busy day"), I had my Broadcast Journalism´s classes and I was editing the vox pop I have to hand in next week (as well as the magazine and the presentation...=S). Later, I had my classes of Global Media Industries and it was really complicated, as usual. Fortunately, in the afternoon classes I could ask about the doubts and I understood the main points more or less. Afterwards, I went to my residence because I had other of my flatmate´s birthay!! It was awesome but I had to study the following day so I stayed with them a little bit but I didn´t go out.
Yesterday, I went to classes like a normal Friday and then I met my French friend, Maud, because she had to do a photography work and I was going to be her "model". We went to her house to choose the make up and clothes before going to the studio and then she took pictures of me and they were really beautiful! She´s an artist. Afterwards, I went to my residence because it was late and I was talking to my flatmates in the kitchen until I went to bed.
And today, I went to the library because I had to design the pages for Making Magazines and then I went to the gym, finally!! I had abandonned it a little bit because of my homework but I´m ready to restart!=)
Now, I´m in my room finishing the homework and it takes ages so I don´t know when it will be ready...at least I have enough time until Wednesday...I keep studying so let´s talk tomorrow.

London & Halloween weekend!

Mmmm I have to tell you that lots of things happened this weekend. Those days were some of the best I spent here! I went to London again and it´s always amazing to go there! I didn´t expect that I was going to like it that much but actually I never get bored=) I had the chance of attending the Changing of the Guard and it was great! There were so many people but we can see it properly, it´s a sight! Another novelty was that, this time, I went shopping apart from sightseeing and how different it is compared with my home town! Oxford Street was crowded until late, when I caught the bus to come back to Southampton.
I put some photos below

 On Sunday, I was resting in the morning because I was so tired. I had been walking all around London and I had to get over to the Halloween night! The night was really entertaining! We went to our friend´s house because there was a party and when we went there it was really good decorated! They have bought some spider´s webs and skulls and they gave the flat some atmosphere. I didn´t buy any custom so I wore a pair of jeans, a white torn painted t-shirt and some make up. We were all very creepy and we has a great time! When we gout out, everybody was on their fancy dresses and it was funny to see the others like that. There were so many people, something that it´s strange for me because in Spain we don´t celebrate Halloween that much. Here you have some photos of the scary night

Yesterday, I went for a walk to the docks and then I was studying and reading some chapters for the presentation I have next week. Today, I wet to classes and I´ve been also watching some videos explaining the Keynesianism, the topic I have to base my presentation on. Tomorrow I´ll restart my gym sessions and I will tell you.
