Working 9 to 5 so I can pay for scaffolding!

It occurred to me that I have not Blogged for a fair while. I am sorry, dear followers! Life has been a mish-mash of working, filling in forms and trying in vain to fit all my uni books under my bed. 

I have learned how to make a sandwich fit for commercial consumption by the masses. Or at least, as it seems to be so far, those daft enough to venture outside in the hideous rainy weather for a butty, or the hideously hot weather, depending on which day you pick! But I love working hard so I'm enjoying it very much. I've also been at the chippie a bit which is always a delight as I seem to know every third customer at least. Like a home-from-home, it's good to be back.

I spent one evening this week printing off a billion forms, which prompted my father to ask whether my intention was to make the printer run out of ink or paper first. Luckily, it was my own paper that I'd brought home from uni so I feel slightly less guilty. It seems that a good proportion of my 20kg weight limit is going to go on paperwork. Never mind the essentials, I'm not leaving fair England without a device for making my mornings a heck of a lot easier (aka, a kettle) and some underwear. I can't bear the thought of buying lingerie in Europe - they'll take one look at my very British frame and send me on my way, back to the likes of Marks and Spencers. If I'm lucky they may give me the number of a local scaffolding company to tide me over. 

Till next time x

If Rhod Gilbert can do it...

I did want to Blog about three days ago but I kept being told the site was 'under maintainance' so apologies there!

Well I'm home home (as opposed to home... Lancaster is 'home', York is 'home home'. This will become even more confuzzling as I make Espana and  Switzerland my home... hmmmmm!). I've done very well so far, I've shifted most of my uni stuff into my room, not to be touched for an entire year! I am NOT sorry to say 'adios' to Pio Baroja. I've also said hello to Heather and Sarah, and a few other people too. In fact, I've barely stopped since arriving back. I get itchy feet in York for some reason.

Emily and I booked our tickets to Bilbao on Friday (!) and it's all rather exciting and scary and exciting! I feel better now I'm home home as, although I miss uni people, it's not quite as acute as it was getting in Lancaster. It's not like Lancaster people are supposed to be here with me so it makes it better somehow. 

Anyhow, I'm trying to do the whole writing a novel in a month again, and so far failing epically, thanks to falling asleep rather early. Bah, I'm getting old! Gone are the days of staying up till 3am!

So not much news on the Year Abroad front, but I shall keep you posted on the nerves/excitement as they occur! (Well, probably a little after they occur, otherwise I'll be blogging even more than people who are full-time bloggers!) The only thing I can tell you is that Rhod Gilbert (the awesome comedian who moans about duvets, torches and women) actually studied French and Spanish at Exeter. Get that! So, I've decided, that if Rhod Gilbert can do it, and the year abroad, so can I! I WILL BE A COMEDIENNE!!! Hehe, till next time loves :) x
