Another year done

So this is it. My second year at university is complete. It finished about 2 weeks ago and I moved back home on Saturday. (It's now Monday.) I spent a couple of weeks in Sunderland with my friends to have a break with them. Destress and do some fun things. I went to the beach, Alnwick, cinema, theatre, Bon Jovi's concert, some girly nights in, visited an ice cream parlour. All in all I had a good couple of weeks with my friends.

Since Easter, I've been really busy and getting stressed and a bit poorly. However, I think knowing I had a couple of weeks to enjoy myself up there helped me through it all. I've discovered how important it is to have something to look forward too. Something realistic and that's going to give you rest and enjoyment to get through the rest of what you're going through.

Nothing was planned for my 2 weeks. Some of it was a spur of the moment thing. Some of it was things we'd toyed with doing. Some just happened. Alnwick had been mentioned and we planned that as that was a day out. As for Bon Jovi. I got a surprise phonecall at 10.30 on the day asking if I wanted to go! OF COURSE! For the theatre, we decided to go and see Cats so brought tickets on the day. The cinema we saw Great Gatsby. We said we would so eventually went.

I've had so much fun and now I'm home I feel a bit lonely. I'm miles and miles away from my friends and i'm not overly sure what to do with myself now. I have a mountain of unpacking to do and a room to sort out. Yesterday I started doing up my room. I'm taking things down, putting new things up, moving things around. Hopefully it'll look tidier and more organised in the coming days. As I'm here for 3 months I may as well make myself comfortable and in a space I want to spend time in.

I can't believe my second year is done. It's crazy. I never thought I would get here. But I am excited to see where my third year takes me. In my studies and life. It's scary, but I know God is going to be with me. Every step of the way. He has a good plan for me. And as long as I'm trusting him. I know it'll all work out.
