Sorry it's been like a month since my last post..(but it's fine as I doubt anyone cares)
So I need to update you on how my holiday was, seems forever now I miss it so much! The views were incredible and the heat was lovely. Me and my family went to Sorrento in Italy for 1 week, it was so nice since our last family holiday abroad was at least 5 years ago.
This was the view from our hotel room, I was obsessed with the palm trees. I even had a palm tree ring that I got before holiday, I mean talk about matching aesthetics.
So our hotel clearly had a cool theme of these head statues as they were everywhere when we went down to eat breakfast and tea (yes it's tea not dinner) I took pictures of loads of them as they were all different colours so I want to do a typology, when I finish it I'll show you the finished result. Here's what they looked like to give you an idea:
At our hotel we had 5 swimming pools which I took full advantage of, even if they were freezing cold, at least I could sunbathe in the sun after. Look how nice they were:
My favourite thing was choosing my outfits, felt great to be able to wear summer clothes again as it's basically winter now never mind Autumn.
Here's me with my lace coverup I loved, I also had a pink palm tree swimsuit on from h&m!
You do realise I'm just going to be spamming you with holiday pictures oops, anyway we climbed up Mount Vesuvius which was tiring so I obviously had to get a picture. Like if you didn't take a picture did you really even go there..don't worry I roll my eyes at my generation too.
We went to Pompeii too which was cool as we had this lovely tour guide explaining about what happened there, I would definitely recommend you to visit here and Vesuvius if you go to Italy.
Here are some panoramas I took when we went to the beach and just around our hotel:
One of the things I loved most was the culture and Italian people in general (yes I'm stereotyping) seemed lovely. I learnt how to say thank you, hello, good morning, good evening and other random words like fragola (strawberry). I was trying to make an effort but at the same time not make a fool of myself speaking broken up Italian (my mum may have got a bit carried away ha)
Overall the trip was amazing, the gelato (ice cream) was delicious, apart from breaking down on a long coach journey to the Amalfi Coast it was good (lets just ignore that bit..lets just say I would have rather jumped off the cliff than been on that coach)
Anyway to sum up my trip, we saw the sunset as we were about to fly back home, great last surprise! Oh also we nearly missed our flight as they got the boarding plane and gates open bit mixed up, we made it in the end though.
Now, onto uni 2nd year, York uni starts late compared to everyone else so we had freshers week last week and had my first proper week of seminars and lectures this week, how fun..
It's weird going back after so long but living in my house with 2 other girls makes me so much happier than living wth 15, my anxiety level has definitely dropped dramatically phew.
Here are my 3 cushions I have, aren't they cute! I'm in love with my new cactus bedsheets too.
I need to take a picture with all my lights on because my room is so colourful and bright I love it, here's a sneak peak:
Ooh little update for you, my student loan came and the first thing I spent it on was doing my nails, obviously my top priority;) but being the confused person I am I forgot acrylic nails meant having fake nails which is so weird, I had to cut them short as I don't like having claws.
Long story short, you can see my bright pink nail that's why I started explaining, anyway how cute is my new succulent I got from a plant sale as well as a matching plant pot.
Here's a pretty sunset reflection to end my post, I love my uni campus |
Okay I'm gonna stop now before I bore you all to death, I'll actually post next Sunday so talk then, have a good week!!
Byeeee,
Sophie
