Where has summer gone...?

I honestly feel like I haven't had a summer this year, mainly because I've been so busy!

As you all know I became an aunty 2 and a half weeks ago, and the arrival of the bundle of joy just happened to coincide with the exam resits I had to do. Not helpful at all.

So Reegan was born on the Monday and then I had an exam on the Wednesday! Needless to say that didn't go brilliantly. But the other three I had the week after went awesomely (in my opinion), so hopefully I've done enough to pass my first year!

I'm also extremely excited to move into my new student house on Monday. I mean I've already started paying rent for it, so I would like to live in the house I'm paying for.

I do have another reason to want to be in Swansea so soon, but that's my secret, that you, as readers, will have to wait if you want to find out what it is!

But for now, here's a picture of me and my friends at our local cricket club's fun day!

I have a Nephew!!

Eeeeeeeeee!! I'm so excited!! (If you hadn't already figured!)

Reegan was born on Monday, and he is the most gorgeous baby I have ever seen. I love him to bits already!

I'm a very proud Aunty!

I want to cuddle him forever!!

So my favourite time of the year has been and gone already. *sob*

I don't really know what to say really except this years course was AWESOME!! Hmmm, that seems to be my favourite word at the moment!

Anyways, I don't think I should describe the whole week to you all, I can just show you with pictures!
Here are the more 'formal' photos I took: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.389039504497371.90304.371001882967800&type=3
If you like the photos, I would appreciate it if you would like my page too.

Also, on Monday I performed in the BBC Proms again! This year we did the Bernstein Mass. It's currently still available on BBC iPlayer until Monday here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01ljk67/BBC_Proms_2012_Season_Prom_32_Bernstein_Mass/ and it will be shown on BBC4 on the 6th of September at 7:30pm.
Just to tease you all before then here are a few previews of what you should all be looking forward to:

I also have the exciting news that I'm going to be an aunty before next week, but I will keep you all informed! :)

I'm alive...

...don't worry!!

Yes, I'm still here. Well, here, being my bed in Newport. So that can only mean I've moved out of my humble abode in Swansealand.

Never seen my room looking so clean!

Bye house 52!

I have been meaning to write a post for a while, but of course, I've been being lazy!!

In other news though, my university choir won society of the year!! To you, it may not seem like an interesting thing, but it meant so much to us! Now that I'm vice-president next year, I've been told that we've got a lot to live up to!

Also, I have a job!!! I probably tell you every year that I go to Birmingham with my choir. Well this year, I'm still going with them, but I'm also working there too! I can't wait!

This was just a little hello, to let you all know I'm still breathing! If you haven't got anything to do, can I suggest you all like my new page please? I will love you all forever! https://www.facebook.com/RhianElizabethPhotography

No more exams...

Yay!!

I only had 3 exams this terms all within a week. To be honest I did the same that I always do with all my exams and left revision until the last minute! Oops!

Ahh well, they're all over now and I literally have nothing to do, apart from a few resits in August!

Basically my life for the next few months involves a lot of singing and getting drunk. Not a good combination, but do I look like I care?!

I am however bored already, which isn't surprising at all. I'm going to need to find something to do when I'm not being hungover!! So if you don't hear from me for a few months, I'd suggest sending out a search party!

The Queen came to Ebbw Vale...

...And I stood a metre away from her!!

Can't express in words what an amazing experience today was.

I was lucky enough to sing with the the Greater Gwent Youth Choir when Her Majesty and Prince Philip came to open the Gwent Archives. And I was lucky enough to have a solo!

After we had finished singing the Queen said, under her breath, 'That was delightful.' But Prince Philip can't seem to go anywhere without saying something stupid. He asked me and a few other girls stood in the front row, 'Can you get blisters on your vocal chords? Because if you can, you've probably got them.' I couldn't help but laugh at that to be honest.

After her maj had left, we were told that she wants a recording of the two songs we sung to her!

The choir would be nothing without these two. Alyson Jones and Nick Steel

I am there, behind Aly!!

I think this was taken during my solo!

Love all these guys!

Me and Seren.

I don't look like a lesbian...

...but I have had my hair cut. Short!

Teehee! To be fair I've always liked the idea of short hair, and I'm so glad I've actually had it lopped off now. Although I do occasionally forget I've had it cut but then I catch myself in the mirror and I can't help smiling. Is that a bit weird, I think it is!?

One of my friends did like me to this site though. I found it quite amusing! http://lesbianswholooklikejustinbieber.tumblr.com/
