Just my luck!

On my way with Shauna to meet the boys ready for the football, and what do I go and do? Not see ice on the edge of the pavement, so I ended up in a heap on the floor and now sitting in the A&E and not watching the football, it is absolutely jam packed in here, looks like most of the people have face planted the snow, ouchh
Never mind looks like a long day ahead not like I can go anywhere I am in agony :(

Ted Talk

I see this video as a true inspiration to everyone. As autism is becoming more common as Faith states within her video, I think that her idea on spreading the awareness and understanding of this diagnosis is important for people to understand. I think that people appreciate what Faith is saying, she speaks with experience. She explains to people that some of the facts of autism, I think she does this to show people the effects it has on the people with autism and the people that know someone with autism. I think that this pseech can change alot of people's views within the aspects of autism. Faith starts off saying that autism is 'a complex brain disorder that effects social communication learning and sometimes physical skills.' I noticed that Faith Jegede started her talk with the same line that she ended it with, 'Please, don't tell me I'm normal.' I think that this line could be an inspiration to everyone, I see people as individuals not normal, I completely disagree with the term 'normal' what is normal? I wouldn't want to be labelled 'normal' would you? I want to be different, myself. I think that Faith is a true inspiration to us all. She has grown up around autism nearly all her life and even as a child she adapted this into her own life. It must be hard for a little girl to come to terms that her brothers that she had probably always wanted couldn't do the same as she could or all the other children in the park. Her brother's were completely different, as no case of autism is the same in every person, but she states that were not only different they were 'extraordinary.' People with autism don't usually fit in with society's version of normal and are often misunderstood, but yet you watch this video and see how they have changed Faith's life and what they have taught her in her life. They have taught her life, communication, love and that 'normality looks over the beauty that differences give us.' This video will hopefully change many people's perspective that they have with autism, they are not just people with a Special need or disability, they are human beings and i think they are truly amazing.

Snowy Valleys

Absolutely knackered today, aching all over. I think it's safe to say that my inner child emerges at the sight of snow. Walked over 12 miles, but that is clearly my exercise for the year. I think it's now time to settle down and start more revision for the exams, they are coming so fast. Never mind it all has to be done, be worth it in the end.
This is the snow in The Valleys.........

Back To Reality :)

Back to reality today, getting up at 6:15am this morning was not very amusing it's clear to say a new alarm clock is needed. Oooops
Even that the wake up call was not welcome this morning, it was still lovely to be reunited with the nutter's back at uni.
Looks like it going to be a busy term aswell with exams and assignments, but never mind with the idea of a holiday this summer arising i'm sure i can keep sane.

New Year Surprise :)

Photobucket Just for the New Year my fabulous fiance has booked for us to go away in 2014, i know it's a long way away, but i am so excited!! It's not everyone's type of holiday, not even sure if you could call it a holiday, but i am leaving the country, holiday or not. We shall be travelling to Thailand to stay in Surin City, which is where we will undertake our volunteer work to help the fate of the elephants in Thailand. I love elephants so the fact that i get to work with them with hands-on experience and help them at the same time is amazing. Hope this year goes as fast as last year. Photobucket
