3 days to go until my exam! I haven't written any updates until today because I had nothing to write (and still don't really!). I had THE most boring weekend of my year (perhaps even my life) spending all day Saturday and Sunday studying constantly. I managed to revise practically the whole course, with Ross testing me on my knowledge, so I just hope most if not all of it sticks in my brain until Friday!
Thankfully I managed to take a break on Saturday to watch some of Strictly Come Dancing and then Moulin Rouge. Strictly was OK, I think Ross enjoyed it more as it was ladies night so Kelly Brook was performing in scantily clad gear! Then my sister arrived with Neil and a mate after being at the Scotland game (another fantastic result, well done boys!) They weren't as drunk as I thought they would be but they were saving themselves for a heavy night out on the town! As I was still sober I dropped them back to Neil's flat to get ready for their partying.
My highlight of the night was watching Moulin Rouge. Now, I knew it had won awards and was directed by Baz Luhrmann therefore I suspected it might have it's 'way out' moments but I certainly wasn't prepared for what I got! The surreal versions of The Sound of Music and Like a Virgin are definitely not everyone's cup of tea and I almost felt drunk watching it!
Anyway, it was good to wake up on Sunday without a hangover. Ross also felt the same and got stuck into some housework and DIY. He fixed the bulb in the fridge that had blown almost 4 years ago - my constant nagging paid off - but I think he felt he deserved a medal for his achievement! ;o) Opera rehearsal followed on Sunday night so it was good to air the lungs a bit.
Monday was a non eventful day, in work early to study, study at lunchtime and study at night. What joys. I did also manage to pop to the shops to get a pair of costume style shoes for my show next week. The proper dance boutiques charge about £35 for these babies but I got a pair for a tenner- it pays to shop around!! However I realised when I got home that I have no space left in my wardrobe for shoes. I guessed I owned about 35 pairs of shoes so decided to count them. Eek, I have 60 pairs of shoes!!!! Is that excessive for a girl? Note, that doesn't include flip flips or slippers but does include boots, sandals and trainers (that's alright then!). I'm almost looking forward to having some spare time after the exam and show to tidy out my shoe cupboard!! Here is a photo of one of my favourite pairs of shoes - 5 inch heels from my fave shoe shop Aldo. Ross bought them - he has good taste!! xx
