...10 months later

I keep thinking to myself awk I will update the blog tonight… yeah that’s been 10 months of thinking that, but to be honest not much has been happening… and time has been flying. Anyway I FINALLY! finished high school and was left in a limbo area of education as I had no clue what happened next. When my exam results came in I was upset and further confused about the future… though they weren’t exceptionally bad… I hadn’t quite met my conditions for my course at college. So I went to another college to enrol in night school to get a better grade on my higher English… after waiting in a THREE HOUR queue and getting in to the course I had a missed call and a voicemail to tell me that I had been accepted on to the original course of TV Production.  Was just a palava really. But now I’m here and I am enjoying it. And that two-to-three weeks of just not knowing what to do and nothing going right is a distant memory.

The rest of the year has really just been filled with going out with friends, studying and work with the occasional concert inbetween.  AND I TURNED 18 WOOP!!!!.... so I’ve found myself with very little to write about… and very little time to write.

So Here's a little glimpse of my year... in pictures

HOW DO YOU MEASURE A YEAR?

Now before I break out into “Seasons of Love” from rent and attempt to measure a year in sunsets, speeding tickets and a whole host of other things that I do not believe can measure a year I think its time to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We have officially entered 2013 and we are venturing into a brand new year. Many believe that a new year equals a new start whilst it probably is the best time to put your head down and make all the changes that your heart desires and make resolutions it is maybe a little pointless as in a way you are setting yourself up to fail… why do I say that? Well come back to me at the end of January or next year when you are making the resolutions again. 

So 2012 started on a low for me as I was let go from my job and my last shift was on the 2^nd of January but all is good as they phoned me up at the end of February and I have been there ever since and was officially made permanent at the end of September. The world of work and me have been getting along quite well although it does often prevent me from having a life…. We can’t have it all can we… well not with school, homework, studying and work.  (And in other news 2012 was the year I started my own business for a year check out The Cold Infinity a licensed business in the UK until July 2013)

But 2012 has proved to me that at any moment you can make a change and start again. That change only happens when you make them happen. Though sometimes things are out of your control you have to roll with changes that life brings, stand your ground when you need to and don’t let people walk all over you. The last few years I have learnt that the hard way, but now I am comfortable enough with myself that I believe I now know when to pick my battles and have only one rule for 2013 not to fuss over the little stuff.

So here’s to 2013 all 31,536,000 seconds of it and measuring the year in friendships, moments, laughter and of course in the changes that happen.
