Anyway, it was Emily's Birthday on Tuesday, and I went back to Manchester in order to celebrate it with her. I'm normally utterly rubbish at buying presents, but because it was her 21st, I wanted to get her something good this time, so I racked my brains and decided on a goody box full of 21 gifts. Here it is...

| As you can tell, she likes pink/purple. And baking. And chicken noodles. |
Quite proud of it, I must say :D And Emily loved it, so that's all that matters! We had a really good night, and I got to see Martin, Hannah and Ray, who I haven't seen in ages :) Emily had her makeup done by the Mac people in Selfridges, and she looked absolutely bloody gorgeous!

Now it's only 8 days until my Birthday :D Yay! I'm so excited, you'd think I was 12 not 21! I'm having a party at my house, with my family and friends from both home and Bangor, so it's going to be a great night :) Then I'm skiving off uni for a week (Shhh!) in preparation for our holiday to Sissi in Crete :D
I like to think the recent amazing weather is preparing me for it :) I've been wearing shorts for the last couple of days, and today I'm even wearing a dress and sandals :O
Of course, the flip side to all of this is the amount of work I have to complete before I can enjoy myself for a couple of weeks! I have another (much less fun) blog to write for my Writing for Publishing class, a presentation to prepare for, (which also ties in with my LAST.EVER.LECTURE!) next Thursday, and of course, the big D. But the less said about that, the better!
So, it's Friday, and from tonight until Sunday night, I'm imposing a 48 hour isolation period for myself, setting up camp in my room and not leaving until I have at least 5,000 words written (other than the obvious toilet/kitchen visits).

| This just made me laugh. |
Sounds fun, doesn't it?! Needs to be done though, or else, knowing me (which I do, very well), I won't ever get it done, and it'll ruin both my Birthday and holiday. Nobody wants to be sitting in Crete and writing an essay. At least nobody I'd like to meet!
