My blog photos aren't the best quality and that's because I've always used my iPhone to take pictures. It's been so convenient to use, especially as I didn't have a camera that matched or bettered the quality. I was treated and spoilt by my lovely boyfriend who brought me the Nikon Coolpix S9900 as an anniversary and early Christmas gift, knowing it's the camera I've wanted for a really long time. I'm so grateful to him for treating me to it, and the camera itself certainly hasn't disappointed.

Last week was my boyfriend's birthday and our anniversary so we wanted to do something special to mark the occasion. For a surprise I bought him tickets for the London Eye, all I told him was that we needed to be in London on October 17th and he decided to make a weekend trip of it and book us into a hotel for the night. Hope you enjoy looking through some photos of the weekend, naturally as politics students there are about a million of the Houses of Parliament! Also I was lucky enough to be treated to a camera which I plan on doing a post about soon, so hopefully there'll be a difference in image quality.

Getting back into the university study routine can be a bit of a challenge, even more so if you're just starting out at university. Even if you're in college or school, these are tips that have helped me since doing GCSEs so they are tried and tested!

For me September is all about new starts, and October is about sticking to them! To help me with that I thought I'd post my goals for October, and hopefully that'll make me stick to them a little more than usual.
