WHY TEACHING ISN'T FOR ME

Now, to everyone who's asked me in the last six months or so what my plan was after this year in Lanzarote, I've said "I'm going to apply to do my PGCE". Everyone who's asked me in the last three months or so has received the answer "I'm going to apply to do my PGCE at Oxford". Oxford obviously entered my headspace because my beau lives in Oxfordshire and studying at Oxford gave me a way to him. How could I not want to be close to this wee hunk?

GUESS WHO'S BACK

I haven't written anything for my blog for three months. One of my resolutions this year was to post every month. Lol. I tend to only come here when I'm feeling the sads. But not today. Today I have a life update, yay!

2017

I'm such a basic blogger because the only post you can ever count on coming from me is a wrap up at New Years. Even though I have two essays due for my MA, 19 days in which to write them and 0 words written so far. Oops. Get back to me with a guilt trip tomorrow please. 

7/12

Hi pals. I have missed blogging but ya gal is so busy that life just catches up on you and then you're almost eight months into the year and WHAT IS TIME?!
I keep a little list of all the blog posts I want to write and genuinely have the best intentions to write them but having a nap is way easier than trying to formulate articulate and interesting blog posts. HOWEVER, you're in luck because I got back off me holidays today and 8pm isn't really a good time for me to be going to bed so I've got the laptop out and shall be tippy tapping until the cows come home. The last time we spoke was after the horrendous attacks in Manchester, just before I finished my year working in Lanzarote.

SOME THINGS ABOUT ME YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW

Enthralling title I know, very short and snappy. Soz pals. Anyway, I've seen this floating around a few blogs that I read so I thought it might be nice to have another lil list post but have this one all about me. Even though most of the people that read this know me in real life and therefore probably know most of these "facts" (lol #pretentious). Whatever. It's nice even just for me to list all sorts of stuff about me because I'm great and love all the things that make me, me. Let's get on with it, eh? 

CATCH UP

Hola guapis
Once again, it's been a while, hasn't it? I have no excuses, I work 16 hours a week and still never find any time for blogging. It's such a shame because I enjoy it so much but there's always a book to read or a siesta to be taken or a pool to lounge around.

THE START OF YEAR ABROAD NUMERO DOS

So back in June I definitely planned to get fully back into my blog like I was on my first year abroad. But the main differences between that year and this one is that I was suffering from crippling depression back then and writing was one of my only distractions, and that we had the internet almost straight away in Alicante. It took us a month to have wifi installed here, and I haven’t really been sad at all. Up until today the 5th of November. So apparently I only get the kickstart to writing when I’m sad, so that’s nice. (Editing Katy is reading this a week later and it's so very true because I haven't been sad for a week and therefore haven't been near blogger. Anyway, back to normal content).
