It All Started With A Sky Dive

It was recently one of my dearest friends’ birthdays and she got a sky dive as a present from her sister. If my Bister did anything like that for me I would just be so touched! (After watching Katie and Peter me and my sister started calling each other Bister like Junior calls Princess, sad but I do love my Bister). Yes I am very happy for her as it really is an amazing gift but I secretly want to knock her out because I would bloody love to do it instead of her. So this got me thinking yes I know where I want to end up in life but I want to have some fun along the way. So I wanted to write a mini bucket list (mini because I don’t want to think about death yet, far too daunting) before I get to being this all amazing English teacher. Let me just note these are in no particular order.

Number One:  Sing Wuthering Heights Kate Bush style in a karaoke bar.

It is no secret of mine that I love Wuthering Heights, I love the novel, I love Emily Bronte and I love the song. In a past life I truly believe that me and Emily (Bronte) were best friends and if I could have even the smallest of chats with her today I think I would bite my own arm off so that I could actually see what she was like and I’ll just put out I’m not a fan of catabolism.

I used to sing Wuthering Heights all day every day at sixth form; I do not sing it at all anymore. I want to go back to not caring what people think of my singing voice, and please believe me when I tell you if you had the pleasure of hearing me singing Wuthering Heights you would find it life changing!

Number Two: Get a tattoo.

What I really, really, really want is, okay I am a little embarrassed to say this but a Wuthering Heights quote. I just need to again express how much I do love it! I have some of the best memories from studying this novel at sixth form. One of the best moments for me when making and eating an “I AM HEATHCLIFF” cake, it was the most beautiful and tastiest cakes ever!

Number Three: Travel

I know the UK is so small and although it makes me feel so insignificant to think about how big the world is I just don’t feel like I could live a life without seeing as much as I could. Me and my Bister said we would travelling in America after I have finished University, yes I cannot wait, but I would like to travel more than America. This is where I need get myself organised and get some friends together and plan, or maybe get someone who is a lot more organised to come along and plan it all so I don’t have the stress of it all.

Number Four: See a Shakespeare Play

Ever since doing the most amazing Shakespeare play Much Ado About Nothing I have always wanted to see one of his plays. I do not mind what one I saw I just really like Shakespeare and when I saw that for my next year modules there is a whole module on him, I very nearly cried!!

Number Five: Go on a girls holiday

I suppose this is linked into Number Three, but by a girls holiday I mean a drinking holiday. Yes I know a lot of you who know me well know that me and drink do not go together very well, but I missed out on going for a girly holiday before University and I feel like I am very much missing out. Recently I have been getting myself into a complete state every time I go out, the best thing about the day after you go out is your friends telling you what happened. In my case it is never good but this girl that does and says very embarrassing things is defiantly not me, hence why I haven’t been put off drinking. Although a girl’s holiday would ruin my liver I feel that it needs to be done.

Number Six: Apply for Big Brother or Coach Trip

I have always wanted to go on Big Brother and I was truly gutted when Channel 4 said they were axing it. It is typical that as soon I am old enough to apply that they axe it. Now that they have brought Big Brother to Channel Five I don’t think I could go on it, the rating for it cannot be that good plus I would have much preferred Davina interviewing me. So I think I shall need to apply for second best and go on holiday with Brendan instead.

Number Seven: Go to Carnage

Yes I know most people coming close to the end of their first year at University have been to Carnage but as I go to Northampton University our first Carnage was cancelled. So when it came to the day of the reorganised one you can imagine I was very much looking forward to it! But due to unfortunate circumstances I did not make it out that evening, waking up the next morning to find that half of my body was so bruised and sore and that I hadn’t even cut my top up. This I feel is one of them nights that I regret; I regret not making it out and regret lowering the mood for everyone else who went out that night.
