So here I go with my first 'blog'...after being inspired to 'blog' by an article I came across when reading The Times (a rare event). I've decided to try blogging for a while having realised how I prefer faffing about on my lap top to using any wrist energy to write in my beautiful, but not very full, diary which is sitting next to me on my desk and has been collecting dust for a good few months.
I don't where I'm going to go with this whole blogging thing...I think I just want it to express the experiences/views/worries/stories of a young woman (although I think I'm still very much a girl) who is about to undergo the experience of leaving comfort zone of education and stepping out in to the real world of work...adulthood...and financial independence ( to some extent).
I decided to go to university because it was the done thing amongst my older siblings and cousins. I chose to study Geography and have not regretted it...but really I think I'm someone who has an interest in just about everything.I'm not much of a forward planner so who knows what the next year or so holds. I have been thinking about a career in the area of town planning/ development and regeneration but at the moment have no work experience to back me up and typically found out I have missed all of the application deadlines for related graduate training schemes beginning in the autumn. I hope to gain some work experience over the summer in time for next years applications...but lets face it...I'll probably leave uni..get a job I could have done when I was 16...or perhaps do abit of travelling - just to be fashionable.
I have a boyfriend who is currently all over the world as part of his 'year in industry' - a year out from university study to gain experience related to the course he is studying. This means we go for long periods of time without seeing eachother. At the moment its mid January and I won't see him now until the end of March. We are in contact regularly with texts, emails, and a few phone calls each week, but nevertheless it can be difficult...and its made worse because I consider myself to be a bit of an 'out of sight out of mind' person....but each time we're reunited I instantly love him and any doubts fade.
Right..I think I've blabbered on enough for now although anyone that started reading has probabaly fallen asleep so I'll leave it at that. How are you meant to end a blog? Just stop typing or with a farewell?
