So, yesterday was my uncle Peter's 50th birthday :) (Congrats!).. I wasn't feeling too good, what with me still not feeling 100% and stumping my small toe just before the party (now that FUCKING hurt!) Anyways, there was NO WAY in hell.. I was going to miss my godfather's special day, no matter how bad i was feeling.
The party was fun, even though i couldn't eat any cake.. :( lol Damn stomach!
Anyways, just wanted to make it known how much i admire him. He's been through so much and still stayed strong. I'm super proud to call him my godfather. He's the definition of AWESOME. X

Ramblings of a Mia
As some of you may know, i've been feeling slightly under the weather for the past 3 days or so..
Well today, i missed my science essay deadline (Great start to the course), and reluctantly went to the doctors (mum pretty much summoned me..) I had to do hand in a urine sample and thus discovered i had a virus in my stomach :( Great stuff! Actually, it kills, and the whole 'dieting' thing has back fired as I haven't been able to eat anything and feel like shit for it. How very ironic >:(
However, on the bright side, i'm not diabetic or anemic which is releiving as i had my doubts..
That is all the randomness for today.
I shall keep you updated, if you're actually interested, that is..
Meh, who am i kidding.. this is my blog and i shall do as i please! lol.
& as Adam says, 'Toodle pip!' :P
P.s Hope you had a good birthday, Simba :) x

Thoughts and feelings about teaching
Bonjour people!
I've been buried in various peices of coursework all afternoon/evening, and managed to miss out on a small social gathering because of this..Yay, go me! >:( Anyways, negativeness aside. Something positive has come of this evening - a short essay i wrote for Engligh. I figured i'd put it on here for ya'll to read as it doubles up as a post. Enjoy and goodnight :)
From the time I’ve spent in Barnet College so far, my initial thoughts and feelings are all very positive. My new class is varied where age and experience is concerned, and everyone seems to be friendly and enthusiastic about learning. I’m extremely excited about embarking on the journey of becoming a primary school teacher.
Through everything and all the uncertain thoughts I’ve had in the past, teaching always remained a definitive ambition in my life. Throughout school I wasn’t exactly a model student or role model of any kind, however I did enjoy learning and I grew to appreciate my teachers and their determination in helping the adults of tomorrow succeed. Having spent an additional three years in education studying for a sports and leisure course and a graphic design course after secondary school, I started to doubt myself and came to the realisation that I was delaying my progress in getting to where I wanted to be – career wise.
The time came for me to finally make a decision and stick to it. As you can imagine, with being a Libra, decision making tends to be something I’m not necessarily great at. The world is my oyster, but I don’t want everything which is contained within. All I know is that one thing is for sure, I want to teach. It was a start, but left me with yet another predicament. Would I become a physical education teacher, an art teacher, graphic design teacher, an English teacher or possibly even a primary school teacher? So many choices, yet only the latter would allow me to teach multiple subjects to younger children. Primary school teaching appealed to me in the way that I know I’ll be able to give the lower years a head start in life and the opportunity for them to learn things that I’ve been taught, and which will be beneficial at some point in their lives.
I’ve had experience with teaching/coaching children and feel that the personal reward you get from seeing someone achieve and progress is one which is priceless. I also feel that being able to put forward my own style of teaching and implementing my personality is an exciting concept.
I’ve always believed learning should be fun and interesting, not just dreary hand-outs and black and white text books. I think children should be given the opportunity to get involved with the subject that they’re learning and interact by playing educational games and things alike. Basically, things which will encourage children to learn instead of seeing it as something negative.
Overall, I’m feeling extremely positive and determined to pass this course with flying colours. I’m prepared and ready to face any challenges that may arise along the way. I’ve even started to somewhat compromise on my social life in order to keep on track of coursework, but this doesn’t bother me as in the slightest, as I know the end result will compensate for any stress or lack of social interaction I may experience throughout the duration of this new adventure.

One for the girls
Thought of the day:
Don't you find that men that initially come across as 'gentlemen' end up being complete jerks, and the one's which give off a bad impression at the beggining tend to suprise you with turning out to be the true gentlemen?
Obviously this is a biased thought, but this theory just keeps proving me right, every time.
Hope everyone out there is all good, and i shall write you soon. :)

Friends & 'thank you' notes
Alright, i know what you're thinking.. I never updated yesterday :O Shock horror!
Tremendous appologies for that, dearies. I would make some lame excuse, but for now i'll just be honest and say i got in late after a night out with the gang, and as a result was too tired to blog! :) Some dedicated writer i am, eh? :P For sureeee!
Well, It's a Saturday evening so I shant keep you long. I'm sure you've got lots of things to get on with.. Don't want to be reading all this random nonsense. Agree? Thought so. Mean people :P
Actually, all i wanted to do was make it known how awesome my friends are. Blah, blah, blah, you've heard it all before - i know. But i have to say, with everyone dispersing into different directions in life and embarking on different journeys, it makes every moment you spend with those people that touch more special. Love y'all XD
On that note, i'd like to take the opportunity to say how chuffed i was when i received a message on Facebook from the lovely 'ReoRae'. Some of you may know of the talented singer, and for those who don't, well you're missing out!
She's an acoustic singer/songwriter with a unique voice. I've been listening to her songs for just under a few years now on Youtube. Kudos to her for picking good songs to cover, also!
I'd reccomend you check out her channel on Youtube. All 'ReoRae's songs are on there. Some are originals, others covers - In my opinion, all of them are awesome :)
Here's the link to the Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ReoRae?ob=1
Oh, and below is the message she kindly sent me :)

The evening after the morning before..
Okay, so the previous post was very pensive, to say the least.. But im beggining to feel more conclusive about everything now :)
I had college today as usual, three hours of english which included a debate about the postive and negative segments that make up the education system. Interested? I actually was, until the most irritating and extremely annoying woman i have ever met kept objecting to every point made in a rude manner, adding her own personal experiences into the equation. Not just the odd time, but all the friggin' time! No one else in the class could get a word in edgeways, or at all for that matter. She was really getting on my wick, and noticeably on everyone else's as the whole class began to pick up on her constant whining. You'd think a woman of about 36 years of age would be capable of keeping quiet now and again. But oh no, not miss 'know it all'. Some people just don't get a hint do they?
Apart from mega bitch (and the depressed jobsworth sprite that lives in the women's toilets) everyone I've met seems pretty awesome. However, i'm getting slightly concerned at my english teacher's use of the word 'For sure!'. No really, she's exhausted the word, badly.. and it's only the 5th day into college!
Well my lovelies, I'm off to bed.. Goodnight for now :)
I'll write you tommorow, Fo' Sho'! :P

The morning after..
It's my day off college today. Meant to be a relaxing 'study day', but oh how wrong that timetable was.. I Woke up feeling like total crap.. My morning goes a little something like this:
-Walked like a zombie downstairs
-Unenthusiasticly took 2 paracetamol tablets
-Sat on the cold sofa downstairs in my pyjamas
-Turned on the Vaio laptop
-Signed into this 'Blogger' blog
I was originally going to write this post at the end of the day, but decided there's no time like the present to air out some frustation..
It's the first time in ages i've felt like completely blocking the world and its mother out. For those who know me well will know i'm quite strong when it comes to dealing with things - especially relationship matters. People in the past have asked how i manage it. However, it's got to the point where i just feel like giving up. I'm either getting hurt and feeling pressurised or in a relationship with someone special, but pushing them far enough away so that they don't get too close. An evidently successful defense mechanism. But where does it all end?
One of my best friends once said to me; 'If you don't let anyone in, put your heart on the line and learn to trust, you'll never experience anything real'. That was sent in an e-mail to me about 3 years ago after some trouble i was having with an ex. She was right, but we all know it gets more difficult after each unsuccessful relationship and all the other shit that happens along the way. Me and the best friend i just mentioned can relate majorly to this type of situation as we've been through exactly the same things (Quite literally..) so it's calming talking to someone who's going through the same situations.
However, at the moment i don't want to talk, but at the same time i do.. I'm contradicting myself, yet again. I don't want there to be tension and akwardness, but there is, it's expected. I can never say what i want to say without going round the houses trying to make everything sound better than it is. Have you noticed? I want to know i have friends there to listen but im still not able to tell them everything as im trying to maintain my 'tough cookie' reputation. Well sometimes i'm not, i'm only human. I'm being honest, but have managed to do it again right now. Touching on the subject but not delving below the surface. Can you tell? Of course you can. I mean, im typing to a friggin' blog post and i still can't say everything i want to say, how lame is that?
I'd like to end this post with a loud ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
..
....
Much better :)

Faffing around..
It's all well and good owning a blog, but i need to spruce it up a bit, y'know, make it look funky and all that jazz.
After all, a blog should reflect the person writing it :P
(I'm not really that arrogant.. or 'dutty' on that note. Let's just clear that up, yes? Good.
I can tell we're going to get along just fine. ;)

Opening post.. Ohh the excitement!
So, you're probably wondering why i've decided to create a blog now? Why not earlier, later?
Well, my ways of dealing with things tend to be through writing my own songwords, poems and other things alike. However, after talking to a friend, decided i would try my hand at 'blogging'. No rules, no wrong or right, and most importantly of all - No expectations.. Just me. So here goes :) Will be updating regularly, so make sure you get your daily dose of Mia!
P.s If you're out there and reading, don't be shy, let me know by leaving comments :)
Adios!
