First batch of cupcakes being made today.
gloryofgastronomy:
So far I have had to use plain flour and baking powder instead of self raising, and the bottoms of the cakes are soggy. Taste good though. If the icing is ok then I say it’s a success. Come on and cool now cakes.
Did you wait for them to cool completely? Pahahahhahahah.
This christmas I am baking

36 cupcakes to give as gifts to various family members! I already have the gift boxes, I just need cases, glitter and decorations.
I’m also going to possibly make my own christmas cake, definitely make mince pies, and probably baileys cheesecake.
YOUR LIFE IS AMAZING. I really want my own house. Jealous! When are you back?...

I don’t think I can bear living here for another 7 months. Despite the fact I have mentioned several times that I am trying to do some course reading, my mum has not stopped shouting and stomping around since we got home today.
I wish she would just grow up and attempt to actually deal properly with things as opposed to ranting around for hours.

Awesome frozen yoghurt last night.
Working again.
It is the company BBQ today and I offered to cover reception so that the REAL employees could all go and enjoy the BBQ. Which makes sense! Everyone acted as if I was being the best person of all time, but it was only fair. I’m only here for a few weeks and I hardly know anyone properly. My Dad brought me food though. Which was lovely!

I really think Twilight is sending a bad impression, and to be honest, no such stupid fairytales exist and I am getting seriously annoyed by those girls who believe in fairytales. Your prince will never come if you keep waiting for the perfect guy to arrive. This is...

I wish that didn’t sound so predictable, but to me, it was never something I foresaw. I knew that university would be fun, and challenging and exciting and new. I also knew that I’d meet some wonderful people and learn to love a new place. But I never imagined in my hopes for uni that I would meet such intelligent, caring and beautiful people as I have. And this city has been the...
Grey's Anatomy is the best TV series I've ever...
Just watched one clip from the pilot, ONE CLIP and I had full body shivers. I love all the characters, and the music, and the storylines and I can’t wait for season 8.
5 more sleeps in Durham. Ever.
It’s just Jen and I left in my uni house now. Cried a little (a lot) when the others left. Also pretty bored, but currently internet-ing while Joe watches tennis. I’m having a hard time getting used to the fact that it’s over.

I’m going to have to eat nothing for the next ten months to ever look good in a wedding dress. This is my realisation at 1am just trying to switch off my brain enough to sleep. I could hear people screaming from the Ferris Wheel at Mary’s College Ball for ages, and it kept reminding me of all the nights out we’ve had over the three years. I can’t believe it is over....

So we’re back here again Tip toeing round the edge of the end Wondering who will be last to admit That we’re finally over Turned twenty one on the day that we met Terrible shoes and implausible dress It’s funny how sad the funny things get as you grow older Better or worse But what else can we do? And better or worse I am tethered to you If it’s not either of us Tell me who...

Brain is now hurting from the sheer effort
of cramming a year’s worth of knowledge into it in 4 and a half days. Now, this sounds like a long time, but in reality 1 day of work = Three, maybe four hours of work in reality.
Stupid life, stupid Greek rituals that don’t actually make any sense, stupid TV that is tempting me to do nothing and just fail my exams and my life and everything.
DOCTOR WHO DOCTOR WHO
Oh YES.
Just watching Jamie’s Best Ever Christmas (don’t judge - it’s Christmas and cooking, my favourite things) and Jamie was cooking with his nephews. He said:
Bad Uncle Jamie.
Gail, it so reminded me of ‘I HATE Uncle Jamie!!’
I'm tired.
In other news, this time tomorrow I will have finished Latin. No more Latin exams ever in my life. What a journey of Latiny fun I’ve had. Three solid years of pretty much this one subject, and now it is over.
I love my housemates because four of us are working in the living room on separate things and it makes me feel better about revising. Having A LOT of trouble concentrating today...
Yeah, I so just wondered why my music had stopped.
Sheer confusion for a split second, until I realised I had taken out my headphones.
*BRAIN DEATH BY LATIN EXISTS*
Ok,

posts deleted. Happy now? In the future I’ll repress everything even more than I already do.
NOOOO. Put them back. (well I’m aware that isn’t actually possible, as if there’s a recycle bin on Tumblr) But A) I didn’t see them and I’m worried… :(
And B) if people unfollowed you after one little stress, then you’re better off...
Just read this. Please.
I promise, you will die. First time I’ve cried laughing in a while.

Love, it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you,
It will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be.
First exam tomorrow guys.
Not got the fear properly. Just quite a bit of hysteria. (which is probably the fear manifesting itself in a suitably crazy way)
Just listening to Mumford and Sons today, checking I know the Latin text (Seneca -Epistulae Morales and Augustine - Confessiones). I’m tired. I’ve not been well the past week and feeling drained and dizzy. But tomorrow will be fine, and it has to be fine.
...
alittlemoreconversation asked: It's true. Although I had to say it in my cupcake recipe write up. The word just had to be used.
Just learning Latin. All day every day.
AND I AM SO BORED. Cannot wait for these exams to be over. Although I am putting the thought of actually leaving university to the back of my mind. *quietly crying*

This is a Delia Smith recipe, and was my first ever loaf. It turned out really well, it was deliciously tasty and had a really nice texture. Here’s the recipe.
Ingredients:
