We went the Whole Hog!

So I thought I should up date you all on the Whole Hog, You remember that charity event I was telling you about?! This is me Just as I finished! It was a fantastic day and I am happy to say I have now fully recovered and have somehow managed to get the mud out from toes nails! Yes it took a whole week of scrubbing in the bath!!! Oh and it turns out it was 10k, not 7.5k lol!

This is the first lot of water we all had to get into! It was Freeeeeeeeeeezing! I love the so this and the next four lots was not to much of an issue for me, but as you can tell from Daniel's face, it really was cold :)

This is the two managers who came with us. Sam my twin sister and Adam. They were fantastic and lead the team fantastically! As you can see they are embarking one of many steep hills! These were a nightmare for me! I hate hills...especially ones that require a rope to get you up them!!

This is pure mud! Although it doesn't look thick it was thicker than custard and almost impossible to get through and even harder to keep your shoes on your feet! This got deeper as we went through, we then had to climb up a slippery wet steep bank. I could not get out of this without everyones help! I had Sam and Adam pulling me (All hands wet and slippery from the mud) then Daniel, Mandy and Maria pushing my legs and bum out haha. I would still be there now if it wasn't for those guys! Thank you all!

This is all of us soaking wet, cold, tired and covered in mud just as we crossed the finished line. We are amazing proud of ourselves and would all do it again. Was the most fun I've had in such a long time with an amazing bunch of friends.

This us all kind of cleaned up back at work after a 13 hour day. Little did we know that it would take so long to get rid of all the mud! Although this was loads of fun it was ruddy hard work so if you haven't sponsored us, please do because it it raising money towards a fantastic cause. We have £160 worth of online donations and around £350 offline donations, so we are still short of our £600 target! If you have sponsored us on paper please give your money to any of us when you see us next and a massive thank you for your sponsorship!

It's all over...

Well It's nearly all over! This will be my last post as an undergraduate student of Bath Spa University! Ekkkkk I am then out in the scary big wide world with all of you guys. I have absolutely no idea what i want to do with my degree at the moment, I have lots of great ideas so will spend the next year trying to find out specifically what I am suited to and you can follow me and my thoughts along the way! I will also be planing my wedding over the next year, the date is set!! August 10th 2013 so I may share any good tips or money saving advice with you or even embarrassing stories which may stop you making the same mistakes! One of which is don't go to church with your tights inside out and then point it out like a GEEK when someones trying to complement you! hashtag redface. (can not find my hash key?!?)

Anyway the purpose of this post is to place a link to one of my final ICT assessments, I had to make a portfolio that contained three different types of media, so here mine is, I placed it on a website which classes as piece number one! www.michaelafitzgerald.zzl.org  so please go and check it out :) This blog is my second piece of assessment, which I have managed to attach to my website in a live feed, ooooooo I hear you say, isn't that clever?!? Well I could pretend it was really hard, buuuuut I had a great piece of software called serif which makes it extremely easy to build a website, no coding at all! My final piece that I have placed on there is some photoshop images, I discovered you need great patience with photoshop (something I don't really have) and also a steady hand (again something I don't have at all)! Any way I would love for you to have a look and give me some feedback, I realise the interactive video hasn't upload completely as the file is too big and needs compressing, I will amend this when I have some more time in the near future.

So please be kind to me in the scary big wide world guys :) I'm a new little fish!
