...is what I've been with updating. It's not so much the fact that I can't be bothered, it's more that I wanted to give this blog a more of a "professional" feel over my tumblr, and post about fashion and photography and creative/fun things I've been doing, but in all honesty none of that has been happening. All I'm doing at the moment is going to uni, going to work and swanning around the house in my trackies playing Soul Calibur V - hardly leaves a lot to be desired! A distinct lack of money means I can't afford to buy any new clothes or purchase new music or even have a social life, and apart from the occasional piece of poetry my creativity is going down the pan too. What's going on??
Next week however should be the break on the horizon. I have a fun little "date"/evening out with the delectable Gee, one of my favourite people who I work with, and I'm booking tickets to see Jack Beats with my housemate Matt. I was speaking to my housemate Hannah last night and we both agreed we all spend too much time at home and it's nice to get out of the house now and again to avoid staring at the same four walls all the time. So I think we all decided to head out once or twice a week, not necessarily to get drunk but even if it's just for a meal or to the cinema, it makes a difference.
I've really been missing home for the past two weeks or so. I don't know if I'd go as far as to say I'm homesick, but I miss my mum and just familiar sights and sounds I suppose. When you're spending a lot of time on your own with just your mind, it begins to wander. A lot. Hopefully having money next week and plans to think about will change my current mindset.
My most (and probably only) exciting piece of news however, is that I'm travelling around Continental Europe in the Summer! I'm ridiculously excited, and this gives me a massive goal to save towards. I'll be going from England to France, then from France into Switzerland where I'm meeting my good friend Deb (who will be doing the rest of the trip with me) and we will leave Switzerland for Austria, then the Czech Republic (Prague baby!) then into Poland, then Germany then into Holland. Then we're taking the night train from Holland to Denmark, then taking the coach across the huge (and still relatively new) suspension bridge that connects Denmark to Sweden, then we're snaking our way up through Sweden until we get to Stockholm, where after a few days there our journey ends. It sounds like a long time but we're only going for three weeks to a month maximum. We'll be doing most of our travelling by train and with Interrail it's actually fairly cheap, and staying in cheap hotels where the cost of the room is split between me and Deb. I think if I start saving just after I come back to Uni from my Easter break, this is a goal that will definitely be feasible!
Right I must dash as I have work at 3pm and at 1.37pm, I'm still sat in my underwear! I promise I'll try and keep this blog afloat more, and start taking my camera with me more when I head out. Enjoy your weekend everyone!
