I went and bought a beautiful new mirror for my university room today. I also bought a new organiser and a new duvet cover and I managed to stay nothing other than excited. I took another look at the enrolement email I received to see which dates I need to be at which schools and … Continue reading One step forward, one step back

Two days till Take Two
Just two more days left in Chelmsford and I am the weirdest mix of scared and excited. Part of me wants to ring Cardiff University and tell them I won’t be studying there this year after all because I’m sissying out and I’d like to stay home. I want to cry every time I consider … Continue reading Two days till Take Two
Time to step in at the deep end
The car is all packed up and it is time to go. First year I jumped in at the deep end (heading all the way to Cardiff to study before I even felt ready) and then spent the year doggy paddling and treading water. This year I'm going to step in to the deep end, … Continue reading Time to step in at the deep end
Thank goodness for dongles, wellies and hairdryers
Sat on the sofa jumping every time I catch a glimpse of a van as it turns down our street in the hope it's either the delivery man with our TV or the man from virgin here to set up our WiFi. So far every van has turned in the opposite direction. Luckily, I've discovered … Continue reading Thank goodness for dongles, wellies and hairdryers
Singing goodbye to butterflies in the shower
Caught myself singing in the shower, wondered 'round with a towel turban on my head, left my stuff all over the sofa while I went out last night, sung opera in my bedroom, let my iTunes music shuffle freely without cringing when The Circle of Life started playing: One week here and it feels like … Continue reading Singing goodbye to butterflies in the shower
Missing Beechams’ Cold Medicine, Loving Crunchy Nut cereal
Had I written this just 24 hours ago it would have been filled with complaints. Yesterday, I woke up with a horrendous cold and went on to have a horrendous day: I broke a glass when I was washing up, I found loads of important unread emails from my university, the internet kept crashing while … Continue reading Missing Beechams’ Cold Medicine, Loving Crunchy Nut cereal
Hippo-size and Happy
I should be the size of a hippo after eating everything I've eaten this week. I blame Papa Johns for tempting me with their 99p offer Tuesday night and Just Eat for making it so easy to order Chinese take away when you get home late on a Wednesday evening. My comfort food has become … Continue reading Hippo-size and Happy
Call me Indecisive, but
One minute I'm ridiculously excited over a quote from a book on an interesting historical topic or I'm so engrossed in writing the opinionated conclusion to my essay that I forget it isn't cool to be caught enjoying coursework. The next minute I'm stood in my room singing Mozart's Agnus Dei, loving it and deciding … Continue reading Call me Indecisive, but
Busy is Best
When I woke up Tuesday morning it was still dark. I felt like I should be jumping on an aeroplane and heading somewhere exciting, jumping behind the steering wheel of my car and driving across the country or just retreating under the duvet until the sun decided to put his hat on. In reality I'd … Continue reading Busy is Best
There’s no place like home
It felt like the entirety of my weekend at home had been nothing more than a dream when I woke up this morning; the horribly stressful journey back to Cardiff being the disastrous ending that finally woke me up. It feels like I went to sleep after the Halloween party last Thursday and I've been … Continue reading There’s no place like home
