Seeing Adele Live

Hey guys!
(I wrote this on Sunday morning) So currently I've been hiding out in my room while family are downstairs for my auntie's 60th birthday (I'm actually doing work I swear) I've finished the section I wanted to do now so I'm happy, it's so crazy how much there is to know in clinical psychology and the worst thing about it is that in the exam hardly any of it comes up! But of course you have to know it all just in case it does ugh I hate it. I guess that's the same with most subjects but I'm just venting out my frustration, you're all welcome;) (sorry but at the same time I'm sure you know what I'm on about)

Guess who I saw in concert on Friday...
ADELE
Yep she needs her own line she's that important, she was seriously so good I was singing (more like shouting) along to every song. In between songs she just had a chat with the audience and even if you don't like her music you'd love her bubbly personality she is just so funny!

So yeah if you're new to my blog then please don't base my photography skills on this picture as it was only taken on my iPhone 5C which is said to have the worst camera out of all the newer iPhones. I used my other camera (not my dslr) but my red lumix camera but I mostly took videos as even the pictures on that weren't good because we were just so high up! I've honestly never been that high up before, I was constantly worried I'd drop my phone then it would fall and smash either into someone's head or right at the bottom.

Of course I had to get at least 1 thing from her merch range, I got a white mug which says "hello.." on the front then "from the other side" on the back in red writing. There was a black mug but you could hardly see the red writing (gosh even I could have designed that better)



Do you like my dramatic pictures of the mug (so basically I used flash and it made it look cool) I used the table cloth and if you look really closely you'll see tiny little stars as well. They're from the decorations from my auntie's birthday.


(Again I wrote this on Sunday..)
Speaking of my auntie's birthday well she turned 60 today and so it was planned she'd celebrate with her whole family which is a lot of us  as there's 3 kids and a baby (I guess it sounds small but it felt like a mad house house when I'm only used to 2 other people) I actually managed to do some revision in the morning like I said so that was good, I feel so much better when I've been productive. I feel so shitty and down when I haven't been productive, anyone else the same?! So for the rest of the day I planned it was okay to do no work.

I was basically babysitting the whole time as my little cousins are quite young and hyper..one of them even called me mum (I gave them the most disgusted look I probably scarred them for life oops..) It was nice though but honestly my favourite thing was the food as my mum and dad are legends when it comes to baking and cooking. They're the best pair (even tho my mum gets stressed af with time pressures & all that..now I know where my anxiety comes from) My dad cooked all the savoury stuff which included amazing pulled pork with homemade sandwiches, sausages with the best honey and ginger sauce and crackling to dye for (sorry I sound like their sponsor or something..) Then to top that all of my mum made the nicest (bit too dark for me) brownies but with some cream as well they were pretty damn good! Oh and of course she made some cupcakes as well, thanks to Nigella and Mary Berry (even they're my favourite cooks)

All I remember about Sunday though is the most awkward situation greeting everyone to begin with. So if you didn't know I'm the most socially awkward person ever and for me I have to mentally prepare myself to greet family downstairs who I haven't seen in a while. It made it even worse I heard all of them arriving beforehand I was just busy doing my revision. So anyway the way I thought was oh yeah if I bring some food on a tray to greet people that would make it less awkward, my attempt to change the focus to the food not me (life should always be focused on food let's be honest;) However in reality it left me with this awkward situation of hang on they're trying to hug me shit what do I do with this tray there's no space to hug people..2 minutes late after awkwardly handing out food I attempted to say in the most casual way "I'll just go put this food down and then I'll be right back" but unfortunately one of my aunties (and probably everyone in the room) saw through my exterior of me trying to be calm and collective when I heard her say "oh god we've scared her off" while I was leaving the room...
Yep note to self: next time I greet family don't arrive with food it just makes an already awkward person even more awkward! So whenever you feel like a fail just laugh at me trying to be a human and you'll soon cheer up

So also on Sunday I took group pictures using the timer on my camera and just before it was about to take I was smiling normallly and then all the adults shouted say sausages (clearly to the kids I realise now) but in my confused brain I listnened and so said it and I have the biggest most awkward grin ever!..

Anyway to move on to a less awkward note wait actually not really (my life consists of awkward moments, I'm just a magnet for awkward social situations but let's not embarrass myself even more..) I went out last week and took some pictures for photography continuing with my sub theme of movement (side note it autocorrected movement too mincemeat which made me laugh..) and got some pretty cool shots from it. Here's a few of them:


Anyone who wants to recreate this effect I used a shutter speed of 6 seconds for all these photos and an aperture of about 4.5 (but about F7 for the darker one above) as it was night time when I took them (why do I sound like a kid when I say night time..is that just me?!)

So yeah this is actually a first I haven't not posted on my day (I say it like it's an official thing) in a while but I just got caught up with everything and it was then early Monday morning so thought I might as well wait until the actual morning as I don't go into school until last anyway!
Talk pretty soon
Byeee!
