Hello again!

Its been a while since i last posted and i feel very guilty so i thought it best to be kind to my conscience and write an update of what has been happening in the hectic life of Nixi!

Well first of all was the airing of Eggheads on 30th October. That was a very funny 30 mins, some of my friends, Chris, my team mates and their friends, Sam and the BBC crew that had been following Sam around for the past couple of weeks were all there. We just all laughed all the way through, it was almost like doing it all over again as we hadn't seen ourselves on T.V before and our friends didn't know we had won. So it was really fun to watch it at the student union.

I have been really busy at university, and now even busier since i have been set 2 essays, 2 group projects and an exam to do all before 12 December!! So i don't really have time to breath. But its all good as i am finding the second year alot more interesting and focused more on the things i am interested in. Getting nervous of my third year dissertation already, i have decided what i am going to do, its just deciding how and when to start. i don't want to be doing it in my third year, i would prefer it if it was finished by September so i can focus on other things, though it is 50% of my final 3rd year mark!

The University pole dance club has really kicked off this year, we have more regular students coming to classes everyweek then there have ever been, showing that pole dance has built the reputation of becoming the most popular and exciting way to get fit and meet new friends whilst having fun. This is great news! I have even seen that KT Coates has made a petition to get pole dancing recognised as an olympic sport. As this was the first thing all my family said when they first saw me and the AOD crew pole dance, and because of the intense strength, concentration, determination and precision of pole dance, i strongly believe that it should.

Last night first the first time my parents and Chris' parents met. It turned out to be a very good evening and everyone got on well, so that good news, even with lots of alcohol and food involved!
So today to release all the tension from the hectic and stressful week, Chris and I are going surfing, thats if he can get his lazy butt out of bed, i think  a kick should do it :-) hehehe

Have a great week ahead and hope to see you soon,
Nixi
