The first two months of 2015.


I'm going to try and document my year, starting with the first two months of 2015. I like the idea of documenting my well exciting life (haha). So at the start of January, I volunteered at a charity shop located in Summertown,Oxford. This charity shop was a vintage branch of the Blue Cross Animal charity, and I thought well that's pretty perfect since I have always been very fond of most animals, expect insects, obviously, spider phobia duh. Anyway, I had a great month there, and met some nice people who I worked with briefly. I had a range of responsibilities, from cleaning to till work, sorting and pricing and even steaming the clothes. that was a killer on the arms. I was surprised that I fitted in so well, after my 5 days work experience in Oxfam back when it had been compulsory to have a short work placement, probably 2011 or something, I seemed to remember how charity shops in general functioned, and I even remembered how to use the pricing gun.

February brought back the start of University. New semester, four new modules.
Creating and editing text for publication.
Creative Writing.
Understanding Culture.
Understanding Communication.

So far its been good, although its just been the end of the second week out of eleven, plenty more time for it to all go to poop. It was nice seeing my friends again, although we are only in one module all together,

This is not all in order of occurrence (note to self).

My favourite shop Evolution closed, I love it because it was full of great little items, stuff for a desk, just little knick knacks which I have a weakness for. I managed to grab a large clock, which was Paris themed, after my holiday there last year, and some little drawers to keep bits in.

Went to Blenheim Palace with my friend, walked around the grounds and took quite a few good pictures, including this one taken by Mphotostory.


I also received audience tickets for Britain's Got talents audition in London, located at the Dominion Theatre, so I took two university friends with me. It was an evening showing, I had been to the auditions last year as well, for an afternoon showing, which had better content to be honest; But it was a nice day, walked up and down Oxford Street countless times, ate at Pizza Hut and lined up outside the Theatre. The show started around 9pm until around 11.30, so it was a late night for me, getting home around 2am, but still it was nice to see the production side to it again. And we got good seats this time too.  There is probably more, but this can be updated.

The return of - How to get away with murder





Finally! How to get away with murder, has returned after its mid season winter finale, where spoiler alert we saw delightfully how Annalise was there when Wes returned to check on her husbands body. The tenth episode was a great as ever, great flashback scenes to incorporate new found evidence and knowledge that builds up the Lila Stangard case, it also laid out many character weaknesses, especially in the form of Connor and Michaela who desperately wanted this over with. Laurel was as detached as ever, and I wonder if we will see any true emotion from her as the season progresses, but she's head strong which is nice I suppose. I haven't really connected with Rebecca's character, and I don't think I will to be hones. It was also nice to see Wes provide some emotion as to what is going on, and its still unclear to me whether or not Annalise truly cares for her students or not. Now Annalise is a fantastic character, loads of light and shade, she's hard and strong and can be obviosuly vulnerable at times too. She's amazing and powerful in her work environment and can switch it up outside of it too, Viola Davis is amazing. Frank makes me uneasy, I don't know why he's bitching at Laurel for not spilling the beans, get over yourself, and it surprised me that Annalise told him the information, or did she?

Overall, it was a great return to the series, which I'm sure will bring lots more delicious twists and turns.
