Its been 8 months since I last blogged and even for my extreme laziness, that's pretty bloody poor. But I'm back and this time I'm here to stay... probably.
I am almost certain that you're all dying to know where the hell I've been and what I've been doing with my oh-so-exciting lifestyle, if this is the case - read on. If you're really not all that interested (and let's be honest, why would you be?) then I'd suggest you stop wasting your time reading this nonsense.
So let's start with the little girl that I mentioned all that time ago when I first started this writing of feelings business. I'm going to call her S for reasons that have also been previously mentioned.
S is now 2 and a half and she is still the apple of my eye. It really has been incredible to watch her grow over the short time she has been with us and the thought of her not being part of our lives seems almost alien to me. Unfortunately though, that thought is soon to be a harsh reality. On the 23rd of December (yup, 2 effin days before Christmas, the supposed day of joy!) she is going to go home and then that will be that.
I don't really want to dwell too much on that thought because if I'm honest I'm almost certain that letting her go is going to be excruciating for me and I have no idea how I am supposed to handle it. But for now, all I can do is appreciate the time that is left.

So what else is new? Well...
I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY.
That's right boys and girls, despite my almost constant state of procrastination throughout college I managed to get shit done and do what I set out to do.
So you are no longer reading the blog of a petty college student, and instead are reading the memoirs of a prestigious soon-to-be barrister studying at the University of Greenwich, London. Okay, okay I'm probably not prestigious, and being a barrister isn't going to happen any time soon but the Greenwich thing was accurate.
Being a uni student is excellent and horrendous, uplifting and soul-destroying, interesting and dull, all at the same time, and I love it! (I also love my beautiful use of juxtaposition in each of those pairs of words - you're welcome, Great Britain).

Uni life has been life changing for me for a number of reasons:
1. I have to drive a minimum of a 3 hour round trip everyday just to educate myself.
This has resulted in me having to sell my beautiful yellow VW Beetle and having to invest in a brand spanking new Fiat 500. Yes, it is sexy.To be honest the driving doesn't bother me all that much, what does bother me is sitting in traffic at half 6 in the morning when you know you're only doing it for a 2 hour lecture. But on the whole, the driving is fine.
2. I had to make NEW FRIENDS!!!!!
This is something that I was almost certain would never ever happen. Let's be honest, I hate socialising, I hate people and people hate me so the odds were brutally stacked against me. Despite that, I did it. On my second day I met a fantastic set of girls that have now gone on to be some very good friends to me. I also made a friend on twitter (very 21st century) who after avoiding any physical, social contact for about 3 weeks has actually gone on to be one of my best friends. So, surprisingly, I am not at all struggling on the friend front.
3. I have soooooooooooooo much work to do, alllllllll the time.
There isn't much else to say about that really. Obviously that is the shit part of university life but it's kind of the bulk so it's something that really needs to be got over quickly.

As a whole, I'm doing well there and more importantly I'm enjoying it. Hurrah!
Not much else is that new in my life actually. My brother moved out, which is absolutely fantastic. I am currently working as an elf over the festive season although most of my work buddies have and up'd and left... heartbreaking :(
My fabulous collection of Disney DVDs is still growing and I am still understandably proud of it. Over the summer all my dreams came true because I went to DISNEY WORLD! It was literally the most incredible thing of my whole life and there isn't much I wouldn't do to go back and one day I will. I also went on my first ever holiday without mumsie and father to Magaluf with my bestest friend Katie and, of course, Benn as our body guard. That was also pretty amazing.

I guess I should probably rap this up now, I've told you everything that you've missed and I promise not to fall off of the edge of the planet again any time soon. I'll throw some photos at the end of this blog to show you what's been going down instead of just telling you.
Until next time, beautiful world - goodnight.
