Bucket List.

I have decided to write a bucket list of realistic things to do before I'm 30. Not that I'm expecting to die by then, but you never know. Seriously though, I think it would be cool. I'm gunna write it out over the next few days, and I think I'm going to put a maximum of 50 things on it. That averages out to less then 5 a year, right?

Got my results back from my first essay yesterday, not too great but I got a 2:2 and I know that I didn't work to my full potential with it anyway so I'm just trying to move on aha.

Watched War Horse this evening, tommorow I think I'll do a full write up of what I thought, but some key points where that:

 1) I think that there could have been stronger character building for Joey. After all, the book is written from his point of view, and you don't really seem to get any of that from the film. Even some occasional narration (Black Beauty style) or some more cheeky characteristics from the horse would have been good. But the characterisation of the human characters was excellent, and there are a lot of people to fit in!

 2) In the book Albert has a girl who he's in love with, yet in the film she is only mentioned twice and nothing to really suggest who she is. At the end I was waiting for it to skip to the scene when both J + A are older etc., but it didn't, it just ended. I suppose they didn't want to finish it off with a totally cliche happy ending. Still, doesn't quite do the book justice.

3) Overall, I felt the film lacked the ability to make you feel true compassion for the main character, because although of course everyone can relate to the war and bravery and loss, I didn't actually feel any care put into his character. At least not as much as was reflected in the book. However, as a stand alone film to someone who may have never read it before it was well executed, with excellent acting/ casting and the settings where amazing and so true.

My mum went to see it in the theatre with her friend and I'd absolutely love to go! I'm really hoping that I can.

In other news, been looking up trip to Florence in either Feb or April, only £250 for 5 days and I'm so keen to get back there. I want to work and live there after uni, hopefully something art/ literary based but even if I work in a cafe I'll be happy! Also, my friend Shannon is studying Fashion there, I'm so proud of her and it would be so amazing to have a good catch up and spend some time with her.

absolutely nothing more attractive then this. me + megs lovin' lyf.

Went out to Stupid Tuesday with everyone last night, drank far to much. Mixed wine with rum/ vodka and mixer, such a bad bad decision! Was such good fun but I felt like shit this morning. Slept over at my friends flat (I am literally the surrogate flatmate who lives in the kitchen) and we dozed off watching the Little Mermaid and talking drunken funny shit. Totally forgot how much I love that film! Something so comforting and still funny about Disney films, always make me crack up. Was so hungover this morning, literally been incapable of life. Had a bit of an awkward situ trying to by noms from the gallery shop when me and Rosie both realised neither of us had any money... I then proceeded to knock over a bit of the table display with my bag. Oh well, When In Rome.. right?

Anyway, I have anthropology tommorow and I'm still debating whether or not to go. We'll have to see when it gets to 7:30am tommorow morning....

Will try to write something meaningful and of interest tommorow.
