The Quest for an Internship... PART TWO.

Hello Hello Hello!!

Like promised I have decided now is the time to let you in on my life! So I believe the last time I really blogged properly, It was towards the beginning of my second year at university! Success; I made it guys; I'm officially done for the year after two weeks that included 12,000 words worth of assignments and a five minute long stop motion animation (which will be the subject of another post very soon!)

I don't suppose many of you remember one of my earlier blog posts (nearly 2 years ago now whoops) about the Quest for the Internship but I have been ever so lucky and as of July this year will be the Production Management Assistant of Walt Disney Studios in Hammersmith, London. 

THATS RIGHT

WALT DISNEY STUDIOS

I can't get over how excited I am! I applied on an off chance in October roughly of 2014, then finally got a phone call whilst I was exceptionally hungover; which i missed from my recruitment lady. I checked my Voicemail and heard the wonderful message 'I'd like to invite you to an interview'. Even hungover with last nights make up on; it was the best news I have ever heard. 

I don't like to sound too cocky, but I have never failed na interview, I like to think that upon meeting me, I am quite confident and charming; the most a girl can be when they are sweating rom every inch of their skin. 

The interview was simple, it required a short presentation in a room with my now employer, whilst you waited they played... Guardians of the Galaxy, Toy Story 3 and Pixar Shorts... with free food! BONUS. 

Anyway, i waited a week and was certain I hadn't got the job, when i received the phone call that I had indeed! i squealed and talk gibberish for a goof 10 minutes on the phone to Leanne and yeah..... I WORK FOR DISNEY. 

It's all very exciting & i will be updating you throughout my internship! 

The quest is over (for now!)

Two Thousand and Fifteen.

Hello!
Apologies about my lack of absent in writing gone this blog, the end of 2014 was extremely busy for me, and i sort of lost my interest in writing!
However as I'm currently sat in my university's library with an hour to kill before an exciting meeting I thought now would be appropriate to share my latest adventures and a quick recap on where I am at in my life!

Just before Christmas hit it off, my lovely friends had their first child and Isabella Faith is the most beautiful little girl I have ever had the fortune to meet! I got to bring her home from the hospital and got first dibs on loads of cuddles!

 

Christmas was incredibly exciting. I spent my first year away from home and spent it with the OH's family. It was absolutely spectacular, despite some teething issues! I got a little teary on christmas eve due to no being at home with my dad which is what I am completely used to! However this was completely overridden by my busy christmas day!
We woke up and had presents in Matt's mums bedroom and I was treated like a little queen, I had quite a humble christmas, so it was a bit more about quality over quantity.

I got a lovely harness set which sadly had to be sent back because of my abnormally large arse which propelled me into my strongest new year resolution (I'll mention it more later!) I got a lovely faux fur headband, a pretty new 'going out' clutch bag, a new diary (stationary<3) and then other little bits and pieces including a very comfy new beanie!

Practicality of gifts is a big thing for me. Don't get me wrong, I love a bit of glitz and glam in my life, but having things I can wear is a big pro for me because i'm extremely stingy in buying clothes for myself because I feel like they are a waste of money until my current clothes turn to rags!

Christmas morning included a church visit, something I have not done since I was a young girl, and even then it was midnight mass of Christmas Eve! However with some puppets (don't ask) and mixed with Matts Mum having to disappear because she left sausages in the oven was a particular highlight!
Afterwards around 30 people arrived at the house for champagne and nibbles! I still haven't quite got over that overwhelming feeling of being surrounded by what felt like a billion women all asking the same question of
 Who're you? Oh Matthews Girlfriend, what do you do? Oh university... what are you studying? 
I have that answer perfected just in case you wanted to know!

Boxing day was so much more chilled, the drinks flowed, a spectacular post christmas lunch followed with a hilarious evening of games where I finally managed to cover some ground with people who were so hospitable and lovely!

I WENT TO THE HARRY POTTER STUDIO'S.
It was amazing, if you advent been and consider yourself a potter-head you need to get yo' ass to Leavesden. Although not overwhelming the beginning and final part of the tour are beyond anything I have ever seen in my life with such high emotional connections!

I also went to see the Rugby for the first time in my life and I cannot wait until I can next go! Although I was initially very confused about how it worked, after a nice explanation from Matt, I found myself on the edge of my seat feeling the adrenaline rushing through me joining in with the groans and shouts at the game! Definitely something i want to do more in the future.

This led firmly onto New Year. New Year in my hometown is a spectacular affair! Everyone dresses up in Fancy Dress and although I left it a bit late this year, Army girl struck a high chord and I had such a fabulous night and New Years Day with my dad preparing the best meal ever!!!!

However the festivities left and I decided that it is now time to change my lifestyle, I have been saying for year that I want to lose weight, and I have firmly held onto that idea this year, Joined a gym, kept up with going 3 times a week for the last month and fully intend on continuing! Sweating is almost addictive!
My aim goal is to hit a stone by march; easy to do hopefully! Then another stone before I debark on my adventure in the US.
If I haven't already mentioned it, I will be working across the pond from June to August with a months travelling afterwards. Matt is also joining me in the states but either way It's going to be so so exciting!!!! I need to start preparing so if anyone has any hints or tips please let me know as I have never travelled on a plane for longer than 5 hours before!

Although this has been  brief catch up I am going to try and do a weekly catchup! In the mean time if you wish to follow my weightless journey, go ahead to www.hellohealthygeeg.wordpress.com.

Lots of Love & Happy New Year you lovely people!

Here and Now

A friend of mine suggested writing a letter to myself for exactly how I am now, how i'm feeling and then in a year see how far I've come.

Dear Georgia

It's very odd writing to myself. I'm sure when I look back on this someday I'll laugh at how hopelessly awkward I am, and probably will always be. It's not been a great few days really.

I just found out about Kippy (bit painful to write the whole name tbh)  and It really really sucks. I've always had pride in myself that I never really ever get told no. I remember taking my driving test, failing and then not driving for 6 months because you were so angry at yourself.

And I feel like that now, I hate failing let alone at something that should have been so easy and perfect. Maybe my judgement of character is off.

I don't want to dwell cause i'll just work myself up more to be honest. I start work in an hour and have no energy to go. I just wanna curl up, put on netflix and mope. Instead I'm playing Let it go and singing it at the top of my lungs hoping it'll cheer me up.

Everything is going alright with the love life. Matt's wonderful and brilliant and just being his usual self, despite the fact he's having a harder time than most at the moment. It's frustrating that I can't be more help or can't see him cause we've both kinda spent all our money. whoop.

My overdraft has taken a battering, but I keep reminding myself to breathe and it'll be okay, I'm a student, i' gunna be poor or spend money I don't have, I'm just a  bit gutted I didn't have as much as I thought I did.

The no smoking is going well, though after todays news I really want a cigarette, it'll be curious to see if I manage to prevent myself. I can't guess what the future me is doing by now?

I can't think of what else to say. Not a lot has changed apart from I feel a bit not me at the moment, hopefully I'll fix that after christmas, I'll feel like i have purpose and doing ym course wasn't such a massive mistake. I could re-do my uni years but then again.... is it worth it?

I'm majorly paniccing about my future. I have no idea what I want to do with anything. I'm praying I get an answer soon. That would be nice. It might help me get some sleep, 4 hours a night is not helping me!

Until You read this Future me!
