I'm having a nice time being home from university for the summer. As long as I don't let myself think about the fact my lovely little room on the first floor of De Marillac is now empty, I'm fine. I got home on Sunday. On Monday I had to go back to Twickenham to go to two house viewings with Lizzie, who I am living with. We also met up with one of our best friends, Sam. It was a wonderful day. It was a wonderful day because we got a place, a lovely flat a 20 minute walk from uni. It's in a quiet cul-de-sac, has 3 double bedrooms along with a spacious kitchen, open plan living room - dining area and a bathroom with a shower. It's very perfect indeed. To make it even more amazing, it's just off of the road that the boys (4 of my best friends plus my boyfriend) are living down. 15 minute walk in a straight line. Even I can manage that! It's ideal and I'm ecstatic. It was also a wonderful day because us three girls got to have a proper chitchat for hours and hours, we stayed in Cafe Nero till closing time and moved onto Spoons for a pitcher of Pimms. It was lovely and girly, which I hadn't had in a while so it was perfect.
On Tuesday my mum had the day off work so her and I went shopping together. I got a last few bits for my holiday with my friends to Spain next week (sandals, bag, hairbands, from Primark, can't go wrong) so that was productive. We also did a healthy food shop, because as much as I'm not so much trying to lose weight for holiday, I want to have a better digestive system, clear skin (although to be honest I have never had an issue with my skin) and just feel better about myself for the summer. Then that evening we cooked dinner together, which was nice.
Today (Wednesday) was also great. My best friend ever from my mid-secondary school days, Joe, came over. We sat and chatted for 5 hours. We used to see each other every week before I went to uni, and obviously since it's been more of a struggle to communicate all the time like we used to. But we both know that our friendship doesn't depend on that, and that we can pick up where we left off whenever we like. Additionally, nothing will ever change in that when it comes to some things, we're the only person the other will discuss them with. So it was brilliant to see him for a huge catchup today, we had a lot of talking to do. Also today I went to the hairdressers for a consultation. I'm very excited about my appointment on Saturday because I'm getting a style that I've been eyeing up for ages. It's called ombre and is the effect when your hair is dark at the top and gradually fades as you travel to the tips, where it is the lightest. I hope that it will be perfect for the summer.
However I am starting to really miss Stuart (the boyf) who I haven't seen since we left uni on Sunday, as he is away with his family this week. But on Monday I'm going to stay at his for a few days, and then at about 3am on Thursday morning we are heading to Gatwick, meeting Ben, Becky, Jordan and David and jetting off to Spain for the week! I'm so excited, I absolutely can't wait. I can't wait to see Stu and spend some time with him and his family, and I can't wait for my first holiday with just friends and no adults!
Oh and another thing I forgot to mention, I have a job lined up. It is the perfect kind of job for me because as opposed to being full or part time, it is one-off days throughout the summer. This is ideal because it means I'm not tied down to contracted hours and can therefore see lots of my friends and also hopefully get some more work experience in the media industry packed in somewhere. Anyway, the job is invigilating in a test centre and I get training and it's all expenses paid, so there are lots of bonuses. Only downfall is the early starts, but they have said once I get to a certain level in the training I will be allowed to have more sociable hours.
Anyway, the contract for my flat starts on June 8th, which is next week. I'll hopefully visit the flat as soon as I'm back from holiday, and spend time there with various friends and family throughout the summer. I'm doing lots more before June is out, but I'm getting more and more tired so that can be for another blog!
Hope everyone is well, and that those with exams have lots of luck!
