Update

Hi Guys,

Firstly I should probably say sorry for my appalling absence, can't believe how long its been!

I thought I should probably update you.

Well, when I stopped in March it was because I had started to revise for my A-levels. I finished sixth form in May and then came the long summer waiting for my results to see whether I'd got into uni.

I had a fairly fun summer, going to the seaside with some friends (believe me, it's a great achievement for me!) Also I went on holiday to Southwold (post with pics should be up soon, hopefully).

Then came the tedious search for a job for the summer, which believe me it's harder than you would think! Finally after several applications, I got a job at Travelodge as a Hotel Room Cleaner (I know, glamorous). I have to say it was probably the hardest seven weeks of my life. My whole body ached when I got home at night! However I am glad I did it, as it allowed me to gain some experience within a working environment. Also it helped me gain in confidence having to speak to lots of people, even though I wasn't very good. I feel it prepared me slightly for uni.

I got my A-level results on 13th August. I don't think I have ever been so scared as when I logged into UCAS that morning. However finding out I got into my firm choice to study English Literature was probably the most excited I have ever been. My results were B in English Literature, C in Psychology, D in History and a D in General Studies. It was slightly disappointing that I got a U in my final history exam. I kind of expected to get a D overall and I got an A in my coursework, which I am so pleased with as it was such hard work!

I really enjoyed getting prepared for uni with my mum. I have been here for 4 weeks now and I can honestly say they have been the longest 4 weeks of my entire life! I will have a blogpost of how the first month has been soon.

Finally at the end of the month my little nephew, George, was born! He is so gorgeous and I miss him loads!

Thanks for stopping by! :)
