First of all, I should acknowledge that I haven't written a blog post since September! Honestly, I have no idea how that happened...
Well actually I do.
I started back at University for my final year. Yes, that happened. And boy, is it busy! I have two exams within the next week and despite having done revision, I am honestly crapping myself. It's my penultimate batch of exams and the pressure is definitely on!
I also managed to get myself a part time (!) job in a bar in Taffs Well called Fagins. If you haven't been there, you should. The food is amazing, the live music is usually pretty awesome and the drink prices are alright too! I've worked SO much over Christmas so bank balance is happier but revision timetable isn't looking as full as I'd hoped...
Since September, things have pretty much been the same. I've occupied myself with work for University and working the regular shifts in the bar. Christmas was busy, as was New Years. For Christmas, I got quite a lot of presents and they were all lovely. My favourite is quite hard to pick really. I got a dressing gown from Joel's parents and I haven't had one since I was about 7 so I LOVE it. I got tonnes of socks and if you ever wanna make me happy - buy me socks! However, the gift on my number one spot has got to be my scratch map! If you don't know what this is, google it! It's a giant wall map and you scratch off the counties that you've been to. This has already led to ANOTHER holiday being decided -_- oops!
So me and Joel went to a wedding fayre in the bay today. It was huge! We saw so many amazing stands and stalls and can promise all the guests to our wedding, that you will have an amazing and eventful day! We came away with a bag full of leaflets and prices and ideas and we sat down and drew up a budget of our entire wedding. It's actually insanely do-able! So the saving begins!
So 2014, what do you have in store for me?
Well hopefully, I will graduate from University with a satisfying grade. I will spend a week in Malta with Joel for our 5 year anniversary. I will spend a week in Greece with Aim just to relax after the last 15 years of education!! Hopefully, I will get the full time job that I have my heart set on, but only time will tell. More than anything, I hope I will be in a more stable and secure place than I am now. I hope I will have savings, and more concrete wedding plans and almost have a deposit for a house!
2014, I hope you will turn out to be the exciting year that I think you're going to be!
