open up the part of you that wants to hide away

I think all of the blogging community whom i am in contact with have been very lax in their blog-keeping recently

as have I.


but quite frankly i have missed it....so

where have i been since the 11th of August?? (a whole 7month and 3days ago...what?)
the answer to that is - ALOT of places...

Results have been recieved, cried and laughed over (personally i think it takes quite alot of skill to fail ALL three chemistry A2 units and still get a D!)

Taunton 3 has been attended with many laughs, more tears, bare jokes exchanged& amazing times had...

Much time wasted lounging in the sun and on facebook before finally securing two jobs - one at St Peter's Hospital in mid-september (which meant life unfortunately stopped feeling like one extended summer holiday)

and the second job a couple of weeks later at white lodge (and yes, it did take them the best part of two months to interview me and actually start me in the job!!)
Ironically I am now coming towards the end of my time working. I finish SPH next week and WL later on in april.

SPH has been fairly boring but is good to see how a hospital actually works& have met some pretty decent people - and some not so decent - but no need to go into that! lol!

WL has been rewarding - getting to know two beautiful boys and their families and caring for them, pushing the limit of my patience sometimes!!

Aside from work, I have:
Seen Paramore in concert twice
Had a pretty decent Xmas
and a pretty fabby new year!
also, a pretty lovely valentines day ;D
carried on helping out with church youth group and all the challenges that has thrown my way
spent ALOT on phone credit
had great times on Youth Leadership Conference(Chorleywood Week B) and Taunton3 reunion!!
Not visited half as many people at uni as i sed i would!
Carried on planning for the big trip out to South Africa which i leave for a month tomorrow (eeek!) and havent done half as much as i should have done! surprise surprise!

O yes, i have also applied to university (after much debating, soul-searching and generally stressing about what course to do...) to do occupational therapy - can't be bothered to explain it if you're not sure what that is - please wikipedia it!!
Got three offers - coventry, plymouth and cardiff and am 99% i will be going to the mighty cardiff!!

So, gap-year has been unarguably one of the best years of my life (so far!) and the best coupla months are still to come!

I would like to hear anyone arguing against the benefits of not having to do homework when you finally get home in the evening(two jobs....)
the worst thing is knowing that i'll have to back to doing "homework" next yr!


Looking forward to next week - finishing one job which will free up far more time to hurriedly get myself organised AND mark (teeter) is coming back to the UK - will be so great to see him again!

Not too sure how to end this post as it's been so long - just to say that - this blog will soon be undergoing a face-lift to prepare for it being my main method of communication back home while I'm away.....don't see the point of having two blogs!!

and will be blogging alot more in the coming months!
peace out x
