Now I know if you read my last post you'll think why am I posting again because I said I wouldn't until the new year (with my new years resolutions) but I was doing the trend thats on Twitter at the moment "#15factsaboutme" and I got bored of 'hashtagging' it on every tweet so thought I'd post up here so I can hashtag it once.
(The first 5 I posted up on my Twitter as well but I'll expand)
1. I'm a trainee teacher at Edge Hill University
You'll probs know this because I've mentioned it in previous posts on here but I've just finished my first semester of university and its got a whole lot more intense. I've been thinking recently whether this is the right career for me as the work load is starting to come clear to me but I've decided it is. I love working with and inspiring children and one day I want to inspire children in other countries, maybe ones less fortunate that my own. An old friend recently made me realise that if I believe in myself and not let others get me down, I will achieve.
2. I'm unsure whether I want children
I know this might contradict what I've written above but I'm going to work with children throughout my chosen career so I'm wondering whether I want to come home to them too. I know that might sounds harsh but having experienced working in schools already and seen my auntie, I know how stressful the job can be at times. Also, I am crap with any type of pain! I got my belly button pierced and I was crapping myself for the pain.. Same when I've had teeth out and even my ears pierced, that's why I haven't braved having a tattoo. I know people say you forget the pain once your child's out but I actually think I wouldn't be able to cope with the pain in the first place, no matter how many drugs the hospital can provide.
3. I work best under pressure
I'm the type of person who puts of doing work as it just looks like too much has to be done but when I've done this in the past for GCSEs, A-Levels and ABRSM exams, its worked out pretty good.. Look I'm at university. Now if your reading this taking part in those exams, don't think you can do the same because that might just be me but this is honestly how I passed all my Double Bass exams throughout schools and trust me, I get so nervous when I have to play the Double Bass as a solo which is weird as I've played it for 9 years but thats just me haha.
4. I want to get my hair done professionally to go back blonde
If you've know me for a long time you'll know I used to have blonde hair, not bright blonde but a dark blonde. I want to return to that colour, maybe not forever but I don't want to be as dark as what my hair colour is at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I like the colour my hair is at the moment, my friend Hannah did a really good job dying it but just want a sort of dramatic change with it haha. Also, I don't trust the at home hair colour stripping kits as from friends I've spoke to previously have all had problems with it like their hair going a colour they didn't want and it burning their scalps so professional all the way I think!
Yes this is me.. 2 years ago.. With blonde hair haha
5. I'm shy
This provides a big problem for me with most things because I don't like public speaking or confrontations, that's why I've got walked all over by people in the past. But I'm currently trying to work on this trait of mine because in my career I can't be shy, I'm going to be expected to be professional and confident with children, parents and colleagues. Bring on the new not shy lifestyle haha.
6. I'm very geeky
Now I'll admit this about myself quite freely because in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with it. At the end of the day, being geeky is who I am and if people, lads in general, don't like that.. Then their not worth it because its what makes me.. Me. I'm geeky because I love all things scientific.. I've always liked school and the learning that it brought so my career is perfect as I'll always be learning throughout. I've always liked dinosaurs and its a sort of obsession of mine which you can ask my mum and sister about.. I'm all about things dinosaurs and love history. I find things like that fascinating to know about and interesting to learn. Same goes for things like natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanoes.. Yeah I know I'm sounding really geeky but that me haha.
7. I love reading
Most people say they'd rather watch a film than read a book but I'm the other way round completely. Don't get me wrong, I like to go to the cinema and watch a film or something but I stand by the phrase "books are always better than the films". I've read all the Twilights and Harry Potter books and there so much more in depth than what you get from the film. The films are good and you can understand the storyline but you don't get any of the underlying characters emotions. Reading helps the imagination grow and I will encourage all children in my class to read.
8. I'm never going to be a size 8
I went shopping with a friend the other day and neither of us are size 8s but we aren't aspiring to become a size 8 either. Yeah I've recently become involved in cheerleading and the university gym because I want to get healthier and loose some weight to become a little happier in my own skin but I know I will never be a size 8 which I'm happy about. My eldest cousin who's 14 is wearing size 8 clothes and my sister can pull them off and she 12, neither of them are fat or chubby if that's what your thinking. But I associate size 8 with young teen girl, its not a real woman figure and if a man can't handle that, their not worth keeping.
9. I don't have a dad
This may be shocking to some of you's that have grown up with a mum and dad but its not because this is just my life. I've never really been bothered about wanting to know who my dad is because I know my mum knows whats best for me and I've seen what other dads can be like, I can survive without that stress in my life. I am quite contempt to have my mum in my life acting as both my mum and dad. If I've ever needed a father figure I've had that influence from both my uncle and grandad. I'm happy and my families happy with the way things are so no need to disturb the harmony.
10. I'm musical
I don't claim to be a genius when it comes to music but I do know I can play an instrument and I have a musical ear. I can hear when music good and pick out individual things like instruments and decorations because thats what I've been trained to do in GCSE and A-Level Music. I've played the Double Bass since being in year 5 so I have had a lot of experience there however, since going to university I haven't played as I don't have my own instrument. It a little sad really.
11. I'm random
Since I've moved to university I've realised that I really am quite random and I could come across pretty weird at times. My flatmate, Kitty has made me realise this because she's always laughing at me.. I don't mean that in a nasty way its just that I'm obviously quite a funny person ;). She's always laughing at my accent, I know that its not funny to my family or friends at home.. but the Yorkshire accent is quite distinct and pretty common to be honest haha. She also laughs at all the facial expression I apparently do and I believe I've got this off my mother as she's talented in the facial expression department. My facial expressions make me quite transparent with emotions.
12. I still like to watch children's television
Now by this I don't be I sit and watch Cbeebies or Disney Channel on a daily basis. I like to watch the classic 90s kids television like Sabrina the Teenage Witch, That's So Raven, Lizzie McGuire, Worst Witch.. All those which I used to watch when I came in from school. Children's television programmes nowadays are to acted, there just so fake. I've watched them before and they just don't seem real.. I don't mind Hannah Montana as I'm quite fond of that movie but I'm a keen follower to bring back the 90s classics!
13. I'm lazy
My family will agree with this but I am so lazy at times, I just like the relax around the house rather than go out and be active. Due to living away at university, my body clock is seriously messed up. I go to bed in the early hours of the morning and don't get up until morning.. I know in myself thats not right but I'm so used to it now it just happens naturally. I sleep in all the time because I have 2 days a week of university and its just second nature now. Although I'll have to get back into a routine when I'm back on my placement in North Wales for six weeks.
14. I'm addicted to Teacakes and Coca-Cola Cherry
It sounds really healthy and it really is but I can't help but love them. I was so upset when Tesco Express round corner from me ran out of Teacakes for days or weeks (it all merged into one haha). I don't have them as often now because being a student I live off a tight budget and can't afford them as often as I'd like.
15. My favourite colour is purple
Purple hasn't always been my favourite colour. Throughout my younger years, my favourite colour was blue so its sort of similar to purple. I prefer dark/deep purple and my room at home is that colour. Most of the things I got for university was in the dark purple colour and pink because they go together. Plus if I ever get married (I don't really wanna live with a lad haha) that will more than likely be the colour scheme..
