Long Over Due

  Where to begin really. I haven't posted in such an age I can barely remember what has happened to me.

  I suppose firstly was Malia, an incredible experience. I miss it so much but at the time we were all quite homesick I think. The heat affected me quite badly after a while (resulting in a 4 hour nap in a water park. Most expensive nap ever) and I burnt a bit, which was so painful. Especially when you're out with everyone and drunkards keeping coming and slapping you on the shoulders... haaaaaouch.

  Ouzo was one of the top ranking most painful experiences of my life. Buy the cheap shit, and 20 minutes in you feel like throwing up. Hideous. The alcohol was generally nasty, from paint stripper vodka to watered down squash. Panos, our hotel manager who I am in love with, he was so sweet and protective of us. And on our first day he said 'If you have a problem, you come to Panos.' We bought him a signed t-shirt at the end and he said it was his favourite. *blush and giggle*

  The best part for me was meeting people and getting to know them. There were 4 boys from Durham staying at our hotel and 2 girls from Leicester. The Durham boys were such a laugh, we all really missed their ironed t-shirts and mocking their accents after they left.

Anyway, you've all seen the photos, they say more than enough.

...what next...

Well, I came home and my parents were like: "We bought a house." So they're off to fly to the lover's nest alone together. Mum's getting so excited about decorating and Dad won't stop talking about hinges and solar panels. It's thrilling. But as much as I get bored of hearing about it, I can't help but be infected by their excitement. Hopefully I'll have somewhere to live soon then.

  I've started my new job as well, and it's my 18th on tuesday! So excited. Also, it was Isobel's Dad's wedding last night, I have never had such a good night. I tried whiskey, and LOVED it, which makes me feel very cool and grown up. THERE WAS A DISCO which I DANCED to. And all the people we were with were hilarious. We ended up having a bath in the built into the floor jacuzzi tub. It was hilarious.

  What else? I feel like I'm missing something. Maybe not. I'm just very happy to be so busy at the moment, I'm learning so much and I already feel like I'm becoming the person I want to be, really naturally, which is great. Here's to the future.

OH AND I GOT INTO READING UNIVERSITY. Knew I'd missed something.
