Birthday countdown...

The celebrations have already begun
In four days time I turn 21. 

Time to grow up? Scary!

I'm still waiting for Peter Pan to find me and
whisk me away to never never land ♥

Wave goodbye to those autumn blues

Following the extreme ups and downs of the last few months I woke up this morning almost instantly in a far better mood. Hello December! 

Be it the sun in the sky, the countdown to my 21^st birthday and the plans that come along with that.. eeek! The amazing few days I had back home in Stoke at the start of the week, excitement for seeing Kasabian this Saturday [thanks to a few special folks :)], the thought of the end of term being in sight, the thrill of my spontaneous new ear piercing, the recent closures I’ve finally found or just the obvious festive excitement in the Christmas run up.. I just don’t know. Most probably a combination of all...
But I don’t care for reasons right now, just smiles :)

First day jitters

It's fair to say that the first term of third year has totally flown by.. only 3 weeks till the Christmas break!
And tomorrow I start my third year placement, eek! Time to play teacher again!
The nerves are kicking in as I choose my first day outfit, determined to make the right impression on my new year 3 class. It's funny how intimidating a group of eight year olds can be!

And so with placement time here, on top of the existing mountain of university work and approaching deadlines, I wave goodbye to any social life and set my early morning alarm.

Dreaming of adventure..

I want to go travelling again!

That Autumn Feeling..

Firstly, apologies for the lack of blogging. Life has been a little hectic lately and its fair to say third year work load has massively stepped up. Eek!

Last week I went to the Peak District on a university residential for an exploration of a Plague town and a lovely bit of countryside air. Wrapped up in our coats, hats, gloves and scarves and surrounded by falling golden leaves it really did feel like Autumn had arrived :) Now I'm all excited for Bonfire night tomorrow, to be snuggled up under a twinkling sky. Magical..
