POSTING WHILST BORED...

After some unbeknown turn of events, I am staying in London till Sunday; which means I miss two days of work, so it is basically a holiday for me. Well, in all honesty, this uni year has been a bit of a holiday. Yes I have been stressed, but overall I have enjoyed it a hell of a lot, but the thought of University in second year is DAUNTING. I honestly cannot believe I have nearly completed my first year; and by god I hope I pass. It has been a whirlwind of nasty people, lovely people, money struggles, and love. That sums it up really. I could honestly write a book about what has happened from September till now, its that complicated and long. But yes, leaving London on Sunday. I have mixed feelings towards it. Positively, I am going to be able to study more, focus more, and spend a bit of time away from responsibility (like food shops and electric) but it means I miss my Sam! And my god do I miss him so very much. It's only been a week since I haven't seen him but after spending 24/7 with someone for months on end, you kinda get attached. So its only human for me to be missing him. Be weird if I didn't, right?

Anyway, since starting this post I have come up with the idea of writing a novel! I  have tried in the past...hmmm maybe I'll continue the one I have started? I started writing a sort of sci-fi 'harry potter' esque novel, but I feel like my ideas come way to close to that of previous readings, and it lacks originality. So no, scrap that. Mind block is something I struggle with. Maybe thats a suggestion that I'm a good writer? People say that don't they. The best writers suffer from the worst mind block - and some books takes years to complete! So I should give myself some credit. But no, I'd love to write a book. I may start easy, something of a children's book. I enjoyed writing the rendition of Red Riding Hood a lot, so maybe I'll start something like that? But, that'll take a lot of imagination and thought. Maybe not then. Oh, I don't know. Might just try and write a romance novel or something! I never use to feel like I was the appropriate person to write romance novels, since I had never been in love, but circumstances have changed and I think I am more than ready to delve into a novel of emotion. Ooooh decisions decisions! 

I'll keep you updated on any ideas I have - maybe I'll write the first page today! Who knows.

WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT?

I feel as though I really need to start putting a huge more amount of effort into developing this blog into something I am actually proud to post online - rather than it being a rather dismal portfolio of my literary works! I know they're not great... but I'm learning so give me some time.

I've been contemplating my current life situation recently. Socially I'm a happy bunny, but with regards to my education/ what I want to do, I'm finding it quite daunting and difficult. I feel no real urgency to get out there and do something with my life, which is fine in the moment, but after a month or so of it I start to contemplate - SHOULD I be doing something? I'm not sure what the 'something' is quite yet, maybe even as simple as reading more might satisfying my contemplations, but I just can't pin point it. I'm currently on a three week break from university, which gives me a lot of time to get one step ahead of my uni work and to delve in to find a hobby. A HOBBY! That's what I need. Ahh the missing word I've been looking for has finally made an appearance. But what would I do? Decisions, descions. I think I need to write more. Well not more, write full stop. I am pretty ok at writing, once I start I can ramble on for hours and my imagination runs wild; but I'm like a hard to start engine, and sometimes it just gets a bit tiring to keep trying to ignite it ('it' being my brain box).

So I've come to a conclusion, which I believe I subconsciously had when I began this post but Ho hum, I shall start to write and read more. Starting with my first adventure - read 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn and write something, anything. Oh and of course the uni thing, but that's implied.

Well I'll keep you updated on my daily adventures every so often. Today I met up with an old friend and we laughed about old times and ate pizza - it was all very nostalgic. Tomorrow I believe consists of eating and relaxing; bliss. I WISHED the weather was nicer, but of course Earth does not seem to be so kind as to allow me sunshine outside of being at work or uni. Oh well, I guess I'll have to put the shades and sandals away for a little while and keep dreaming.....
