July|Positive Review

With only 5 days left until August I thought it would be a good time to have a little 'July Review'.

As any frequent Hummingbirdxxx reader would know, I'e been trying to have a 'Positive July', I made a list at the beginning of the month with a list of things I wanted to achieve and I thought I would check up on my progress.

Graduate

Well, graduate I did. It was a lovely day (minus my fainting spell) and I felt how proud my parents were of me. It truly will be a memory I treasure forever - I still can't quite believe that the University era of my life is over!

Training Contract Applications

This has been a serious downer on July, but it is something I have to do. I'm churning out about 1 application a day, which doesn't leave a whole lot of time for much else! Hopefully my work will be fruitful and I will be lucky enough to get some offers!

31 Days, 31 Photos...

In an effort to make me appreciate all the nice things I get up to over July, I've been trying to take a photo a day. It's been more of a challenge than I anticipated it to be! This is one of my favourite July snaps - such a sweet photo of my mum and nanny laughing!

Visit New Flat

I've been to my new flat twice now, and I am so in love with it! I cannot wait for my new London life to begin, it already feels like home!

See Friends - don't become a hermit!

I've seen a few friends, although not as many as I would have liked (darn those applications)! But, there may be some plans in the pipelines!

Book a holiday with the BF

Miraculously, this has been done! And I'm so looking forward to it! One of the reasons behind July|Positive was the fact that the BF was going away for 6 weeks which was making me a little blue! 

But having this trip to Paris to look forward to makes me very excited and gives me something fabulous to look forward to do!

So, I feel I have done quite well with my July|Positive list (See original here), but there are a few that I haven't completed - or even got near to completing...

Complete Blogilates July Calendar

I think I got to like day 3 of this?! I blame the extreme heat wave and my applications. But, I do want to get in shape before my trip to Paris, so I'm planning on hitting it hard after my applications are due in, maybe I'll do August|Fitness? Please, I'm not even kidding myself!

Sort out my Shoe Situation

I did manage to semi-solve my shoe problem, when I bought these guys...

But, I now realise that maybe they are too high to walk in all around Paris for like 6 hours straight. Ah well. 

Anyway, I would still like some little booties, but it's just not the season to buy them, boo. So in conclusion, I still need to buy a pair of shoes...

Make some Money

However, the shoe situation is made harder by my money situation - or lack of! I even signed up for some medical trials, that's how in need of money I am!

Run the Second of the Two Tunnels

Again, fitness has not been my strong point during July. But, this is totally an aim for August pre Paris!

THEREFORE, July|Positive has been fairly positive, and it's not even over yet - there's still 5 days! Maybe I will come into millions and be able to sort out my shoe crisis! 

I'll keep you posted!
