I graduated!

First of all I'd like to say a quick sorry for being rather quiet on the blog and Twitter this week. It's been a rather busy time for me as I graduated Wednesday! Alongside work, I spent most of my weekend running around like a mad woman trying to prepare for it. 
Although I got my results back in July 2013, Birmingham City University always have their graduation ceremonies quite a few months afterwards. It was brilliant to see all of my university friends again and the ceremony was amazing including appearances from Jeff Lynne and Laura Mvula!
If you'd have told me during my first year at university that I would be graduating with a first class honours, I wouldn't have believed you. It was a very emotional day for me and I'm glad that I got to spend it with all the people that matter most to me.

After the ceremony we went to Jamie's Italian in Birmingham. I'd never been there before and it was such a treat. All of the staff were so friendly and were asking me all about my graduation, and the food was so good!

I hope you're all having a lovely week. Let me know what you've been up to in the comments.

Showcase Sunday #3: March's book - As You Like It by William Shakespeare

As a part of the 2014 book challenge that I have set myself, each month I shall be reading a different book from the writer displayed on my Waterstones Literary Quote calendar. This month I'm going to be taken straight back to GCSE English with a play from the most famous playwright in the world, William Shakespeare! 
I've always been a fan of his stories and consider A Midsummer Night's Dream as one of my favourite plays. I absolutely love this quote, it's making me very excited for spring. I don't know about you, but I'm fed up of winter now. Bring on the pastel colours, the blossom and the bright green grass! 
After discovering which play this quote was taken from, I knew that As You Like It had to be the book I read this month. Another reason I picked this book up today was that it's a Shakespeare play that I have not read before.I know absolutely nothing about it other than the fact that it's a comedy. I'm really looking forward to reading this for March as it seems light-hearted, funny and should encompass that springtime feeling!

There's a lot of fresh green colours in this post. It must mean that springs close!! 

I'd love to see what books everybody else has brought or received this week. Let me know or leave your Showcase Sunday links in the comments below.
