Run

So on sunday I ran my first ever 1/2 Marathon I did it in 1:37 which is 3mins quicker than I had aimed for. It was a really nice course I hit my stride from 4miles and just loved it. The sun came out which wasnt the best as it made it soo hot.  Found out that I was the youngest runner Now all I have to do is collect all my sponsorship. Today was an unusual day for me as I tried to have a positive...

New look

So a slightly refreshed look to the site. I have had a tidy up and also changed the theme. One of the biggest changes is now a front page to the site not straight onto the blog! (Thanks to adam for some of the help with this) My run is on sunday and I am soo looing forward to it! (and a bit nervous!) I will be trying to tweet some pictures on the day so have a little look at that. I have put together...

Been working really hard on getting the yearbook sorted over the last couple of days which is getting a little bit tedious because the site Im doing it on is rather slow. Eaten far too many sweets this evening to compensate for not eating any chocolate How proud you should be of me it has been 11 days...

Alice in Wonderland- Review

Just got back from seeing ‘Alice’ in 3D. After all the hype and massive exposure that it has had it has been built up to be a great film. I was very excited to go and see it as I have been analyzing the promotion for media studies. Initial reviews didnt really rate and neither do I. The opening part of the film (pre falling in a hole) was painfully bad as in plot and acting. It was set...
