Anyway a few week ago we had to write about why we want to be fashion journalist. Here what i wrote:

As a young child I was a huge superman fan! In my head I would dream that I was Lois Lane and I could call out ‘superman!’ If I was ever in trouble, I could fly above the city and be a groundbreaking journalist. Of course this was all make believe and not a reality, still it a strike a huge core in me. As I got older I reads the very classic books series ‘Sweet valley high’, in my dream I convinced myself I was the real life character ‘Elizabeth Wakefield’, Straight A student who was caring and determines – someone who wanted to be a writer as well. I could imagine all the exciting adventure I could go on and under-covered hidden plots and evil deeds.

I love Fashion, it a huge passion of mine. As a child I would draws wedding dress and play dressing up with my mum clothes.

Growing up I would read magazines I couldn’t help myself. Reading magazines such as Sugar and Smash Hits was a favourite pastime for me. It was in my late teenager years that I decided ‘I want to do that’, I wanted to be fashion writer. I will admit I wasn’t sure how I was going to accomplished this, until one day I found a blog online called ‘Catwalk-queen.net’ (now it catwalkqueen.tv) written by Gemma Cartwright. She was a student at the London College Of Fashion studying Fashion Journalist. Bingo! I found my open door and while looking on the college website I found an Access course which will enable you to go on further and higher. This sounded like the perfect opportunity for me, not long after I discovered UCA and a campus, which was just outside, where I live and it has fashion journalism.  I can imagine myself sitting on the front row watching catwalk shows and creating my own piece, travelling and meeting people. One day I could be the next Anna Wintor.

P.S: Say hello to friend maddie blog: Modelmaddie – go visit and give her some love.

Anyway  moving on. I woke up in a sunny happy mood and for the first time in a long time i was actually glad it was a Monday Morning! No work for 5 days now as i have finished all my over-time at Waitrose, So i get the next few day completely free and i know I’m so going to enjoy it.  I also think i got paid today (i hasn’t actually check my bank balance) so that always an added bonus, but planning on pretending to myself I’m still broke for the next few day as the reason for my summer of over-time work was that i didn’t want to be in the red anymore and was trying to pull myself out of it.  So sensible thinking is in order here.

I also been giving the all cleared by my university – UCA to enrolled and on Thursday they changing my status from condition to unconditional. Yay! My induction week start on the 14th September and I cannot express how mega excited i am, My boyfriend Richard has to keep calming me down and told me not to be excited in case it a let down. I’m hoping in getting my student loans at the end of this month as i got a friend who starting a college course and i said i help her out with her tutorian fees.

Mmmm favorite cocktails of the month is the Strawberry Colada. I had it last night when i went out and yummy! To learn to make this yummy cocktails – here is the recipe:
