Eighty One: Home.

Apologies for neglecting you for so long...at this rate I'll be averaging a blog a month. Uni work has been crazy- in the last two weeks I've had four essays and two exams to do, the last of which was Thursday. Being home is mostly wonderful. I went to see my Nana yesterday for lunch, which was nice, and when I came home I sat down, my Mum made me bangers and mash (which is one of my favourite meals) and later we had pancakes and watched How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Everyone went to bed and I watched QI and Mock The Week while eating all the Malteser ones out of the box of Celebrations :P
This semester has been...long. The work hasn't been too bad, and I've enjoyed it which I guess makes it easier. I've made bad decisions, I've made good decisions. Such is life. I've appreciated home and my family a lot more but also learnt things I wouldn't have done if I'd not gone to university. I'm fairly certain I made the right choice in both course and university, and my life could be considerably worse. 
It suddenly struck me the other day how I'm going to be 20 in March, meaning I'll no longer be a teenager. It's a bit scary, seeing as I'm far from feeling -or as I'm sure my Mum would argue- acting like an adult. However, me and three other girls from my halls have put down a partial deposit down on a house for next September. I hadn't actually seen the house before yesterday, but they all assured me it was lovely, and on the way back from university we drove past it. They were right, and it's in a nice neighbourhood as well which satisfied my Mum. 
I'm at home now until Tuesday when hopefully (depending on the weather, though apparently Heathrow are prepared) we will be going to Mexico until 6th January. Some of my relatives were meant to be visiting us tomorrow (they've come from Australia) but they're staying in Brighton so I don't think they'll get to us. When I get back I'll have just under a couple of weeks at home before going back, when Semester 2 starts...this year will be over soon.
The Doctor Who Christmas special from 2008 is on, and although it's not one of my favourite episodes, I'm still going to watch it. 
Oh- and Merry Christmas. And have a good New Year. 
B xxx :)
