Time Flies

This weekend I was lucky enough to be able to go home for a few days as we have a 'reading week' at Uni, which is basically like a half term in which you should do some work!

The reading week provided me with a great opportunity to go home and visit my family as I haven't seen them since I started waaay back in September (the 13th to be exact). And it was recently both my Sister's and my Dad's birthdays. So it was lovely to be able to go home and just be around them again.

Saying that, it really was a jam-packed weekend. I got the train down to Derby at 8pm on Friday so arrived at 10:30pm both knackered and drowsy. My Mum picked me up from the train station and took me home - straight to bed in fact as I'd had a very busy day - including my first shift at my new job! (I got a job at Costa! *Woop woop*)

And oh my, can I tell you how much I missed my own bed. It was beautiful to wake up in a double bed. I can't even convey how comfy it was in comparison to my bed at uni. Wow. 

Back in my own room!

Blogging at my desk

 Saturday was just spent chilling. Relaxing in my own room. Watching Orange is the New Black and seeing my dear Auntie and Cousin.

Peter and I on the swings!

On Sunday, we went to Alton Towers to celebrate my sisters 13^th birthday and we had a great day out! It ended up being just me and my brother, Peter, going round together, as Claire and her friend stayed together, which worked out really nicely as we never really have time alone to chill. The rides there were fab, as were the doughnuts, which we treated ourselves to! And to top it off we‘re pretty sure that we saw Chris Robson (the England Rugby player) there too! 

On Monday, I was surprised to have an early visit from my cousin Jess before she went back to Leicester, which was lovely, as I really have missed her! Then I headed to Nottingham to meet my best friend Megan, and we went to the White Rabbit tearoom, which was adorable! It was great to see her too because it’s just been so long.* I was then surprised for a second time that day when my friend Nicole text me to see if I wanted a cuppa since she had an hour to spare (she’s a very busy gal) – and I jumped at it! So we had a lovely little catch up over tea and biscuits in my room.

*Uni is great and all but golly gosh I have missed my friends!

Then to top it all off, on Monday night my Mum and I went for a meal out and a well needed catch up. It was officially the best day I’ve had in a long time!

FWIS - Tuesdays Outfit

Tuesday wasn't as hectic. I just popped into Derby to see my close friend Frances, who is an absolute cutie! We went to Frankie & Benny’s for lunch then did a spot of Christmas shopping – it was wonderful! Then I went back home to pack up all the things I forgot to bring the first time ready for my 8pm train back to Newcastle.

All in all, I had an amazing weekend, although it did feel so odd to be home as I now have a new place that I refer to as home. It just happens to be 150miles away. It's just a shame it all went by so quickly, but as they say: 'Time Flies when you're having fun!'

I hope you enjoyed this post, even if it was mostly me rambling! If you’re interested in a range of uni related posts can you let me know in the comments below? I’m thinking of doing a room tour/ootd kinda thing but I’m not too sure so let me know!

Until next time my lovelies,

Love Rosie
