A Pleasant Change of Opinion

Like most of the country, I've left university for a month of Easter antics and finishing of that small 6,000 word barrier between myself and completing my first year. Needless to say, I've given myself the first week off to do absolutely nothing, yet have failed in arranging any decent plans with friends. They all happen to be taking place amongst my 3 week essay schedule. We all know what will happen there.

So, this week I've found myself watching notoriously boring daytime television and compulsively checking facebook at least once an hour. The devil is now I have an iPhone, it's too easy to check up on everyone else not having a life, even when I purposely shut my laptop down. I know, same old story as everyone else. BUT, by literally having nothing to do in this first week, it's made me realise that once I do start the ball rolling on these essays, the procrastination only made me bored so I shouldn't really do it. (Here's for hoping.) It has also made me appreciate university. Huzzah! About time and all that.

Yes, I have become yet another name on the list of people who started off complaining about uni, contemplated dropping out and ruining their lives, to then stay and love it by the time the sun comes out. But, what can I say, better late than never. So I'm currently feeling pretty lucky with the opportunities that lay ahead of me in the coming couple years, and it's taken looking at certain individuals and the mistakes they've made, pointing and laughing as we all do, along with the prospect of getting out of England for 4 months and some other exciting social developments, to get me to love my current life.

So, that said, 3 WHOLE LONG WEEKS at home until I get to go back. YAY...

For now,
