Hello! It's me! Remember me? No?... Oh well...

Well... it has been almost and entire whole calendar year since my last blog post. University took up a lot of that time, then an endless summer spending time with the kids took up the remaining months. Now, I'm preparing to go into second year of Uni in a couple of weeks and the children are back at school and nursery, so really I thought what better way to procrastinate when I should be getting the house organised than write a post on my neglected, forgotten blog!

First off, University has been almost exactly 77.3% less scary than I thought it would be. It also actually wasn't quite as hard as I'd thought it would be! I was worried I'd soon be found out as a complete fraud and escorted from the campus once they realised I was a. extremely old and b. completely incompetent, but neither of those thing has happened. I have felt, at times, very very very very old, which I didn't think would be an issue at 31 but I guess when you spend all day with 18 year olds it was bound to happen. I haven't felt all that incompetent and that has just been down to a mixture of just doing the work I have to do on time and keeping up to date with reading and lectures (mostly). I can't deny though that the unions haven't been visited. It's been a fun year!

The one thing I struggled with was spending so much of my hometime studying and reading, and I felt I was neglecting my little family at times (usually when an essay was due) however my amazing long summer has totally made up for that! Only a couple more weeks of that left though... and right now I can't wait to get back!

I can type!

Well, I haven't updated here in absolutely aeons! This is due to the slow and tragic demise of our laptop. Firstly, the right-click on the trackpad went... then the enter' button, and the 'g' and 'h' keys... and I didn't have the will to copy and paste them from another source for every word that needed them. So, as a result - no blogging for more than 2 months. But now, although we're still struggling with a decrepit and dying laptop we have a keyboard and a mouse so at least I can actually do things without resorting to my mobile every time.
Anyway, since I was last here I made a firm acceptance of my offer to Glasgow University so all things going well, I should be off there to study English and History in September! I'm half terrified and half excited. Right now we're in the final few weeks of college and so it's obviously assessment city here - added to which my husband has exams in June as well so we're trying to fit in as much studying time as possible for both of us around the kids and other stuff.
I'm also doing the Race for Life in Falkirk on the 22nd, so I've started going to the gym regularly and even went for a jog - outside, in the real world - last weekend. And then my whole body seized up and I was in agony for all of last week and have only got back to normal today. To celebrate, I'm going to go for another jog this evening, just to relive the experience. That's just how good it was.
And for those blogs I follow - I have been reading, and appreciating, but due to obvious keyboard related issues I haven't been able to comment at all. I hope you still say hi!
