*Takes a deep breath*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Okay.
So much has happened in the last few weeks! Here's the short version of the highlights:
Transferred successfully from Whittard York to Whittard Nottingham (yay!); caught up with many peoples; tried to sort my room out as I was living out of boxes (Mum gave in and did it while I was at work!); took a trip to Redcar to catch up with the York house-mates (double yay!); then they came down to Nottingham to surprise ME (triple yay!) saw Pixar's new movie Inside Out (OMIGOSH IT'S HOW MY BRAIN WORKS); and a whole lot of other stuff I'm trying to remember on demand but I've suddenly forgotten!
Oh, and I've got a part-time job as a Floor Manager for Notts TV!
WHAT?!?
Okay. :D
So basically, for frequent updates it's best if you follow me on Twitter - seems to be the easiest form of communication for me right now! (@PinkPurpleDinky)
It's a little weird being back in Nottingham now I know that I'm not heading back to York for Uni - the realisation that I've finished seems a little unreal, to be totally honest. Not that I don't enjoy being back home, of course, and I will visit York whenever I can (and who knows? Maybe I could end up going back to live there one day?). It's just... *nngh*
Starting at a new Whittard has been exciting though (still thinking of everyone at YPS!) - the company are relaunching their entire tea collection! New teas are being made and some of the older ones are getting an update, with new packaging! I know a lot of you won't find new packaging exciting, but I do - I've seen some of the new stuff (which I'm probably not allowed to tell you yet, so I won't)!
The staff at Notts TV have been great too - I was a little nervous learning what I needed to be doing, as it's all LIVE (yes, really!), but I think I've gotten the hang of it now - it's not gone wrong yet, at least! :3 So I'll be doing that a couple of evenings a week.
Family update: Twinnie Gem and Brother-in-Law Joe celebrated 4 years of marriage this month! 4 years already?!? Where did the time go??
Mum and Dad are awesome as always - they're working on a great project. A train - in the garden. That we can ride on! For all you train buffs, it's a 7 and a 1/4-inch gauge steam train - the only thing electric on it is the emergency stop! (I posted a pic of the upcoming track on Twitter! Well, mainly of whisky, but the track is in there!)
Dan's still amazing - he's struggling to find a good job (suggestions welcome!) but he's still optimistic! He's in the process of starting his blog, so I'll let you all know when that launches :)
I think that's everything for the time being, but there is one major event coming up in November that I cannot wait for - graduation day! In York Minster, no less! Our Chancellor (of York St. John University) is Archbishop Sentamu, and anyone who has ever had the privilege of hearing him speak will know that this automatically makes the event worth going to. He. Is. HILARIOUS.
Seeing Dan graduate last year was amazing; knowing that it was going to be me the following year was a little daunting but exciting! All I had to do was pass.
Although, I'll admit that getting a 2:1 in your degree is rather relieving! :D
More soon! I'll keep you peeps posted...! x
EDIT: I almost forgot to mention! Thank you all SO MUCH for helping this blog reach 10,000 pageviews!!! YOU'RE ALL AWESOME!!!!!! :D xx
