Pre O week. KEENO!
So as most of you know I’ve gone back to Uni full time. I only decided this about 3 months ago and threw myself into the process much like I usually do with blind faith that it would all work out. It always does right? It is, it’s fine but terrifying. There are lots of moments of “Shit”, and then […]
Fark it’s hot!
So hot stuff eh?! Funnily enough I have a massive urge for a run today. Like totes massive, but I can’t because I will die. We have some unreasonably hot weather at the moment.

The article was very much about how much this was going to affect people as the prices will now be so […]

I am spectacularly happy!
Remember that time I moved to NZ with just a suitcase because I liked the pictures? I just did something similar. I quit my job and got a place back at university full time. I know!!!!!

So I just ran 30km….
You might have read my last blog post about having to run 30km this morning. You can find it Here. I wasn’t very well trained because… life. And I’ve been sick for a few days too so was a bit apprehensive that I might collapse and be carted off in the flashing bus. Oh the shame!!! So anyway I wasn’t sure […]
