Ok so maybe I'll start writing again!
My life:
I have one month left of my final year of uni. I'm shitting myself about not having this safety net around me anymore. I've been writing my dissertation on the evolution of the menopause (actually really interesting) but it's driving me a bit mad. My plans for after uni - summer, go home do conservation volunteering, try and get a part time or full time job until october. October 22nd - fly to Australia. I've booked my ticket, me and my friend Anna are going to stay with my mate Nat initially, then hopefully get an apartment and jobs for a few months then travel around a bit. Then the following september I've got a place to do my MSc in Biodiversity and Conservation at Leeds Uni. I think that should be good, the woman sent me a massive reading list the other day...seems a bit premature!
I have a boyfriend called Oliver but amusingly he is now over in Australia and will be back in July, a few months before I go. He's been there since about Feb. and we've only bween together since about October. And I don't know what to do. I really missed him when he first went but its like I've adapted to life without him so I'm really not bothered anymore so it may be weird when he returns. And I really don't know if I can stay with him when I go off travelling. This is meant to be my time to find myself! haha. I know that sounds a bit cliched but I can't be bothered with having to ring him every week or whatever. I want to have a string of Australian lovers and come back a changed person! Oh plus I think I might be gay. Oh I don't know. I think my life would make a good comedy film.
I can't fricking WAIT to go!!!! it's one of the biggest adventures of my life. I went to America last summer which was pretty cool, especially travelling afterwards, but this is for so much longer and I've got miles more freedom. Woooooooooooow it will be amazing!
I'm dreading summer, moving back in with my parents.....dunno if I can cope. but they wont charge me rent and if I', just doinng volunteering and not working then I want the cheapest situation possible. Hopefully I'll be able to spend as much time at Oliver's as poss. so we wont be under each others feet so much.
Maybe i'll tell you a little about oliver. He is nearly 26, lived in Australia from when he was 13 to 22 I think but those numbers might not be right. He came back in 2005 and worked in pubs and hotels etc, I met him in 2007 working at the restauraunt of a stately home where I had a summer job. we kept in contact and went out for drinks and stuff and then kinda got together in about october. he's finally going to uni this year to do business or something boring like that!He's gone back to aus to see his dad. really really bad timing but he booked it ages before we got together, and i wouldnt want to hold him back just like i
wouldnt want him to hold me back. He's fit but rather hairy and a little short, just a little bit shorter than me. I like the fact he's older than me tho. However he was engaged when my age which freaks me out slightly, seeing as at that point i was an ugly silent teenager doing my GCSEs.
Oh writing about him makes me miss him.
i'll leave it at that for tonight, a think that's a pretty good summary seeing as i havent written properly in a million years. :)
