Avatar

I decided to join the craze sooner rather than later and motivated some friends to come see Avatar with me. After all I wanted to check out the phenomenon I apparently can't ignore since the advertising is thrust in my face left, Right and centre and everyone seems to be talking about it.

So we all went to the cinema on a Wednesday (2 for 1 on Orange is a God send for any student) thinking it would be pretty cheap to see Avatar in 3D and to save that bit of extra money we took 3D glasses we had collected from a previous film. But turns out we were wrong in our attempts to save money since not only do we get charged £5.50 if you want to see a film on a normal day you have to buy 3D glasses every time! So we ended up paying another £3.00 for some more 3D glasses we didn't need. Heard of being eco-friendly all you 3D film makers out there? Think of all the plastic that's getting wasted (and all the students your ripping-off)?!

Any way got my popcorn, went in and took a pretty nice seat in the Kirkstall cinema. Some adverts came on in 3D and I was already hooked, i now cant wait to see Alice in Wonderland 2! Looks unreal amazing!

Then the film started and yet again i was hooked! All i can say is every thing that has been said about it is completely true. If any thing the film critics haven't paid it justice. A gripping story line which was accentuated by the stunning 3D effects. I'm not going to lie, i had a little cry at some of the film (excellent love story as well as action) but overall i came out the cinema feeling ecstatic it was definitely a feel good film and even though it was long i could have happily watch the story develop further for another hour or more.

Now I'm late for a very important date.... Alice in Wonderland 2! Hope this film lives up to the expectations as well.

Can E4 ever go wrong?!

As a student I have a lot of spare time. I do try and do things with my spare time but when I'm only in Uni 3 days a week for not that long it becomes hard to fill all the gaps.

This is where E4 comes into play. I'm sure it is one of the best channels know to all students; it sports shows such as Friends, Skins, Shameless and Scrubs and is now sporting new shows such as Glee and the Cleavland show that have already encapsulated the whole of England. So much so that I hear people singing Glee songs every where and they are even in the charts.

I have always enjoyed the not so new shows such as Friends and Desperate Housewives, but the idea of a show that has been dubbed 'a High school Musical spin-off' made my skin crawl. I cant even sit through classic Musicals that every one else seems to love such as Chicago. And why base a spin-off aimed for older teenagers on such a childish film?!

So one night, the girls where all round visiting and demanded to put Glee on and since I was heavily out numbered 5 to 1 about not watching it the channel was changed and Glee came on......

And now i LOVE IT!!!

It is a genuinely perfect mix of catchy songs, hot boys, good story line with a little bit of cheese sprinkled on top to round it off.

Now onto the Cleavland show; the spin-off from Family Guy, a programme i already love! All i can saw is its awesome, END OF!

So to answer the question 'can E4 ever go wrong?!' my answer is 'NO!' . Even all the new seasons of old programmes are amazing such as the new Shameless!

But maybe it's just me being a student and since there is nothing better to do than watch E4 I have no choice but to enjoy these programmes.

Does a circle have a beginning or an end?

My title I thought was a slightly better way of saying 'where to start?'. I am massively new to this blogger stuff and basically don't understand any of it. But as a prospective PR practitioner I feel blogging is the way forward... the new 'news central'.

I am currently a PR student in Leeds (the best student city in England) and although I would like to say my take to blogging was optional; it really wasn't. As part of my course i have to understand and place myself in the world of new technology. I'm only 19 and i already feel out dated! Not so out dated that i don't understand Facebook (the best and worst thing to come into my life; I'm not on it 24 hours a day but when it comes to a choice of doing work of Facebooking Facebook wins hands down!).

Since I have no particular interests in any thing, I'm a bit of an all rounder i.e. i like all music, food, clothing and have a general interest in all aspects of life I thought I would blog about the new things in my life and the new things I'm trying, by this i mean the new TV shows I'm watching, new nights out I'm trying, new drinks I've tasted, new clothing, new stores etc...

Also since I'm just starting out in the world of PR I will be updating you on my progress. So far I'm a second year student and I am in the process of searching for a job for a full years paid placement for my third year. I'm torn between staying in Leeds where all my new friends are as well as every thing i know and moving to London where i feel the better placements are, also my mum has just moved to middlesex from where i used to live in Nottinghamshire up-north. This move means that loving in London would help me save money as I would live at home but then again could i cope with living with my parents again?

On top of the search for a full years placement I have to get a part time placement this year to gain experience and show some achievements and progression in my portfolio.

Being a second year student means I have lived the Leeds life for just over a year in which time I have had my fair share of drunken nights out. Some of which I would recommend to any one such as Mint on a Thursday or Mezz on a Monday and some nights out of which i would not recommend to any one such as Oceana on a Wednesday. On a Wednesday its full of big-headed sports twats who think they are Gods gift and even if you can cope with that the music is appalling. So unless I was blind drunk I would never return there.

The photo is of one of the best nights out I have had this year. I will soon be blogging again with my new news in the life of a Leeds student.
