One Huge Step For - Well, Me.

So bloggersphere, I haven't been very kind to you lately. I have abandoned you somewhat and for that I am sorry. But I have my reasons! Or excuses, whatever you will call them.

I have been working non-stop over the Christmas period - and when I mean non-stop I mean 44 hour weeks non-stop, so I haven't really had time to sit down for a cup of tea, let alone think of something witty and readable for this blog. I also have been revising for my retake exam that I took this morning. Eek! Plus I got a new boyfriend so I've been all smitten and loved up, much to the disgust of those around me :P

But now I am back and I promise to grace you with my presence a lot more often!

So what's been happening with me? Well I finally applied for University. Which was scary and stressful and chaotic. Everything I expected it to be really. If anyone ever tells you the process is easy, then, well, they've never gone through the process. I rewrote my personal statement about three times, got sent back my application by college about seven times and am currently trying to iron out one of the mistakes that my college made. But it's done. I'm going to an open day in two weeks to check out the University I desperately want to go to and their Creative Writing course. University is a massive step. It means being grown up and independent and that's scary. I mean, I can't even use a washing machine! But I guess that's the adventure really, doing things you've never done before and learning that you're not actually that bad at being an adult.

I also retook my A2 Literature exam today. It wasn't a matter of needing to, I already have the points I need to get into University. It was more pride than anything. I couldn't stand to have that low grade beside my name for the rest of my life. I'm stubborn and determined and I wanted to be able to say my grade with pride. I think this mental attitude comes from a great upbringing by my parents. They always supported me in what I did and pushed me with the right amount in the right direction. I can never thank them enough because their support is why I'm going to university in the first place.

Well that's the boring part of what's been going on with my life out of the way. Next blog will be filled with book reviews, music rants and raves and all that exciting stuff! :D
