Update

Life as a final year sports science student is definitely a lot more time consuming than I had thought, since I last posted I have non-stop been writing assignments, revising for exams and doing research for and writing my dissertation. However the end is now insight, as of June 12th 2015 I will officially have finished my undergraduate degree.

I feel like my life is completely different since I last posted. I have now moved out of my parents home and into a flat with my sister and I have now also got a boyfriend! The only thing that has stayed the same is that I am still working as a lifeguard and swimming teacher, which I will continue doing for the foreseeable future.

I have so much to look forward to this summer: finishing my degree, going on holiday to Ibiza with my sister, going to Paris with my boyfriend and starting my masters degree in 'exercise and nutrition sciences' this coming September.

I aim to keep you all posted more regualary than I have been these past few months even though I doubt there will be any ground breaking news...If you wish to see more of me and my life definitely be sure to check out my instagram (@susrichmond) and twitter (@sus_richmond)

Back to School Haul 2014

Back to School Haul 2014

Just a quick back to school haul for you guys, hope you enjoy!

England Athletics Championships

This past weekend I travelled all the way down to Bedford to work with the British athletics biomechanics team and complete some performance analysis for the athletics field events.

After a disasterous start to the trip by missing my connection train, I arrived at the hotel 3 hours late on the friday night! I had a small amount of time to look over my schedule for the weekend and familiarise myself with the equipment I would be using.

On the saturday I recorded the performances in the pole vault, shot put, hammer throw and triple jump. Then on the sunday I recorded long jump, pole vault and javelin.

I had a really great experience throughout the weekend and met some really great people. I just now feel sorry for the head biomechanist who has to go through and analyse all of the films!

Thought of the day

My ultimate goal is to be at peace with myself, eliminate toxic feelings and elements and energies from my life, unlearn negative and harmful practices and thought patterns, stop checking for people that don’t check for me, create a space for myself that is nurturing for growth so that i may generate loving energy for myself and for others, nourish my spirit and balance my energies, i have big dreams and i deserve to live a life i love and let that love.

The Kings' Experience

These past 4 weeks I have been working at a kids summer camp in my home town as a swim coach and lifeguard...

It has been a bit of a whirl wind to be honest as I applied for the job one day, was given an interview literally the next day and started camp the week after, therefore I had very little time to prepare myself for how manic the month ahead would be.

As the camps main swim coach, my job was to teach all of the children swimming but with a fun element, so I basically just played games and splashed around in the pool for the entire time I was at work!

Although stressful at times, I have had the best 4 weeks and have made some great friends and have really learnt a lot about swimming in general and about working with young children..

...next stop for me, applying to work at a summer camp in CANADA

March Favourites 2014

- Petite stripe pocket tee - £15 at Topshop

- The perks of being a wall flower by Stephen Chbosky

- The fault in our stars by John Green

- Paper towns by John Green

I had my second year final exams these past few weeks, so March has basically consisted of non-stop revision for me, so what better way to relax than reading a good book. I have really gotten into John Green recently, so much so that I bought his entire collection of books! They definitely do not disappoint, other than harry potter and the hunger games books I'm not usually a big reader, but I have read these books from start to finish in record time for me! definitely a sign of a good book.

Since purchasing this Topshop tee a few months back I have noticed so many people wearing it, and I'm hardly surprised tbh, the quality is amazing and it just looks so cute with jeans and a simple necklace.
