Too far away...

Today has made me wish that I lived closer to my friends, the down side of Uni is that everyone comes from all diff places and can't just pop up the road etc to see them, be there for them or the other way round.
But as long as they are there and we can talk its good enough right now.

I'm not so keen on growing up...

Atleast not right now.

Don't get me wrong the last year has been great, growing up, going to Uni, getting a volunteering placement at prison. The thought of a full time job excites me and marriage and having the family I know in 10 years time will be complete, no doubt.

But it's been this time away in a place we always used to come. Just outside Blackpool our family friends have always lived and we have always visited. It was great as a kid so exciting, a time where we always went out. But now being back, it's a bit deflated. The great big adventures are now slightly disappointing, mainly because we've done most things but also because every adventure was big when your only small. Also as you grow up so does very one else and with that comes the evils of old, the friends aren't in great health and so haven't accompanied us on our trips out. Mums back is bad so it's been difficult and well Kieran wasn't as fun as he used to be more annoying. Kind of looking forward to him growing up a little bit more truth be told.

It's made me realise that it's time for me to have adventure with the boyfriend like we do normally but that it's the end of the era of family holidays as such and that now a family holiday is with just him. in a few years time will develop into family holidays with our children, creating the big adventures I had, with them when they are still small enough to see everything as big and fascinating. I can't wait for this of course, as he well knows as I can be quite broody at times (possibly an understatement) but nevertheless part of me want to go back just for one last time before I have to make all the decisions and no one is there to guide me, after all I swear the boyfriend is more of a child in many way.... Let's hope he grows up soon ;)

How I come across...

I feel like when I started Uni or at work I come across as confident in myself and I never found it hard to talk to new people
HOWEVER
I can honesty say I am shitting myself for this interview. It's only volunteering but volunteering in something I one day hope to be paid to do! I want them to like me and feel like I can do what they want, know how hard I work at things and understand I want this more than anything right now. Let's hope I can portray a confident, enthusiastic, head strong, helpful student who they want as part of their team.... Bring on Friday I suppose.

Summer 2013...

....is dragging like hell!!

But I am so looking forward to august...
4th-Bruges day trip :)
9th-12th- Paris :) and possibly Disneyland Paris :)

AND....bridesmaid dress fittings, still a little girl at heart loving trying on dresses and getting to make an effort and trying to look pretty :)

then after all that I will finally be back at Uni :)

just thought I'd share my excitement.

Everyone has their own Doctor Who...

Being at the Doctor Who 50 year proms on Sunday made me think. I believe everyone will have their own doctor at some point in their life. The person they can laugh with, have adventures and miss when they are not there, their companion through a period of time.
But much like Rosé Tyler and Amy Pond there is always a Mickey or Rory that they truly love and will always choose because of the history (more so Amy) and the reality of life in the long term.The Rory person may not be best pleased with their doctor but nevertheless the companion will stay with them for however long enjoying the time they spend with their doctor before leaving at somepoint, maybe with occasional contact like rosé but who knows.
It's a great relationship to have, the true companion where you both think as highly of each other.
Good old doctor who :)

I know I made the right decision...

Being up greenwich yesterday made me realise how much I made the right decision of where to go to university.

Although it wasnt originally my first choice and for years I believed I wanted to go to Bucks New Uni, when I visited the University of Greenwich because my other second choice was shockingly bad, I fell in love with the historical magnificence of it. Obviously this wasnt the only reason I remember meeting Suzie and thinking how lovely the staff were and how good the course was.

Since finishing I have missed the wonderful friends I have made, the laughs in lectures and seminars and the routine. Mainly due to boredom I have missed the routine but te friends side, it's not as easy to see everyone. Yesterday when I was up there I just wanted to go back up in the lovely weather, see my friends, have a laugh, a Chinese and all the things I love about being at that Uni with hose people. This is probably the reason I was upset when our good friend Elliott said he wasn't coming back. As a massive part of the group he will be missed.

Now I can't believe we only have 2 years left and the speed at which this year has gone it seems like it might be over in the blink of an eye, far too quick! All I hope is that there are more parties and abilities to go out as a group, go to wetherspoons or Chinese or the SU on the game machine and carry on all the things we've loved doing this past year but more.

In this area I am a very happy Jess... Only way to make it better .... A lovely holiday... But that might have to wait for next year :(
