Hello again,
These are some of the things that I got up to in November. It was a really good month for me, it’s left me feeling very content with the direction that my life is taking and everything I’m achieving. Proud moment over, this is what I got up to…
Bonfire Night
Although we didn’t end up watching a proper fireworks display, Cem bought his own fireworks so we didn’t completely miss out.
First day as an intern
I really enjoyed my first day and first month as an intern at Brain Füd. I feel like I’m learning a lot as time goes on that’s really helping my studies. The people I work with are fun and I actually don’t even feel like I’m working.
Handing in my first uni assignment
I actually thought my first assignment was due in on the 11th of November but lack of communication and understanding meant that the deadline was changed to November 25th. Although it was annoying that I rushed to finish my assignment only to find out we didn’t have to hand it in for another two weeks, I was still relieved to get it out of the way.
Oxford Street Christmas lights
Going to watch the Oxford Street Christmas lights being turned on was just as fun and as cold as I imagined. Like I said in my blog post about it, there were live performances from The Vamps and Lousia Johnson and everyone in the street counted down from ten for them to be turned on. The atmosphere was lovely.
My birthday
To be honest I wasn’t looking forward to my birthday that much. Who wants to spend their birthday in uni on a Wednesday? This aside, I still had a lovely day. Me and Cem went to Frankie & Benny’s for dinner and played TopGolf afterwards. We drew. We literally both scored 44.
Paris
A blog post will be coming soon about exactly what we did, but me and Cem went to Paris for the weekend. My favourite parts were seeing the Eiffel Tower, Canal Saint-Martin and Le Mur des Je T’aime.
Winter Wonderland
At Winter Wonderland we played a disgusting amount of carnival games, won two teddies and went ice skating. Although it rained and I thought I was going to freeze to death, it was a lovely day. We both managed to skate without falling over once and even saw a man propose to a woman – she said yes.
As always, thank you for reading.
I hope your November was as good as mine, and I hope your December is even better.

Sounds like you had such a lovely November ☺️ I love reading these kind of round-up posts! The Christmas lights at Oxford Street sounds amazing, much more exciting than the ones I saw in Winchester! And Winter Wonderland is somewhere that I’ve always planned to go but never actually get round to it! That proposal sounds so sweet and romantic! xx
I did! November was a really good month for me. Winter Wonderland was definitely a big highlight because there’s so much to do – we were there for hours and we’re still going back on Sunday because it wasn’t long enough for us haha xx
Ahaha I love that! I can imagine it to be a bit overwhelming with all the festivities to get involved with! Did you find it was swarming with people? That’s the one thing that puts me off 😔 But I bet the Christmassy vibes more than make up for it! xx
We went on the second day of it opening so it was absolutely packed! However, it does die down as the month goes on and there’s so much space in the actual park that it doesn’t bother you xx
Oh that sounds okay then! I’m going to try make it happen this year! x
It sounds like a lovely November to me. Happy belated birthday by the way. I can’t wait to read about your Paris trip. I have always wanted to go.
It really was! I’m going to aim to get the Paris post up on the 5th because I’m so excited for everyone to read it. Thanks for commenting!
I love the falling snowflakes on your blog! Happy Belated Birthday, sucks that it was on a Wednesday but I’m glad you still had a good day.
Thank you! I hate having a birthday on a week day but it was a great day all the same x
Those Oxford Street Christmas lights look gorgeous! Happy late Birthday, I’m a November baby as well! Hope you had a wonderful time in Paris 🙂
They were so magical! And thank you – you too 🙂 x
You had a wonderful November. I’m a November baby too and I love this time of year!
Anytime you can zip over to Paris – if even for a weekend – makes for a great month! Glad you had a fabulous month.
Okay, a weekend in Paris sounds amazing! But that would be a long flight from a California just for a weekend lol
It might be a bit far to go for a weekend but you can always go for a week haha x
Hope you still had a fabulous birthday, even on a Wednesday! Sounds like a great November for you overall.
Thank you! I hate having a mid-week birthday but it was still an amazing day all the same x
Aw hope you had a good birthday! Congratulations on a good day at your internship glad you are enjoying it!
Thank you I had a lovely birthday and I’m still really enjoying my internship 🙂 x
November sounds like a good month for you! Congrats on the internship. Happy belated birthday!!
PARIS!! That’s awesome too, and those Christmas lights.
XO
You’re right – November was very good to me! Thank you for the birthday wishes 🙂 x
Sounds like you had a great November! I love writing my November faves and hearing about what other people have been doing and enjoying. Hope you have a fab December 🙂
I had a lovely November – monthly favourites/best bits are my favourite posts to write at the minute because they’re great to look back on. Have a good Decemeber! X
Glad you had fun on your first day as intern! Those lights look awesome too and ice skating?! You’ve had all kinds of fun!
Thank you I’m loving my internship still even 6 weeks on. And I was so scared to go ice skating but loved it in the end! x
Ahh Paris, I want to go! Love the city Christmas lights. And it sounds like you had a great November!
Paris is so beautiful over Christmas, literally every shop puts so much effort into their lights and decorations!
Paris is so beautiful I love it there and I’m incredibly jealous!
Can’t wait to read all about what you got up to
I was so overwhelmed by how beautiful everything was – I can’t wait to go back! I’m loving writing the blog post for it so I can’t wait to share it X

They’re so much prettier in person – my pictures don’t really do them justice! And my Paris post is one of the most enjoyable posts to write… I can’t wait to upload it! X
Sounds like you had a lovely month! Thanks for recapping it for us!
I did indeed! Thank you so much for reading and commenting. X
Love jobs where you don’t even feel like you’re working! And sometimes not looking forward to or having expectations for birthdays is best- you end up having a better time. xo
Exactly if you love your job you’ll never had to work a day in your life. And I always plan my birthday to be low key so anything that happens is more special 🙂 xx
Sounds like you did quite a lot in such a short span of time. Congratulations on everything and happy belated birthday!
November was a hectic month haha! Thank you – I hope you had a lovely month 🙂
I love this! Jobs that don’t even feel like work are the BEST! I feel that way about my job too. 🙂 What an awesome month you had! I think this is great.
I love seeing over people genuinely enjoying their work seeing as most people seem to just complain about theirs. I hope you had a great month!
Your internship sounds great. When you choose the right work, it never feels like you’re working because you enjoy what you are doing.
It really is – hopefully it turns into a paid position haha!
I love the snowflakes on your blog! so wintery. Happy late birthday! A Paris visit is a good weekend plan, very nice.
Thank you! And I’m so glad I worked out how to use them haha x
Ah I love this time of the year when everyone’s decorating. The lights at Oxford look beautiful. I hope to visit again soon. Cheers 🙂
So do I! I love it when all the shops put their lights and decorations up
