A long awaited beginning..

So, I've had your blank page staring at me for some time now.

Your blog page itself, as clean and unspoilt as any new canvas should be, has been set up for almost a week, yet it seems that now is the only time I've had for you.

I'm still trying to figure out why, by the way.

At this very moment, I'm sat on my bed, listening to nothing more than my fingers stabbing the keys. Though I'm sure I can hear it starting to rain. It's the first time properly that I've had to just do anything. I was so glad to finish University for the summer, that I just assumed my life would fall into this whole student summer break lifestyle of sleeping till noon and drinking cider whenever I want. I'm finding it incredibly hard realising that it hasn't.

Does anyone feel like me? That they've just swapped an array of responsibilities for an entire new set? 


Work. I mean who really wants to be there half the time? Yes, I know that if I'm not working this summer, as many hours as humanly possible I might add, then I won't be able to go out and enjoy myself. But I have to ask, is it worth working extra during 2months off, just to have the occasional night out and trip away, to then just swap working with University again? I'm tempted just to go home, live on the reclining sofa for the rest of the summer and get my folks to periodically shovel food in my food while changing the t.v. channel. 


Wow, don't I sound defeatist. 


Please understand, blog, that I'm just tired. After one hell of year, I would have like a small break. I will stop moaning now, for you.


I do have many things to look forward too. I travel to the exciting city of Newcastle to see one of my dearest and oldest friends in a few days. We plan to do nothing but eat good cheese and drink bad wine. Awesome. 
I have a nice list of things to do tomorrow and I know once I get them all sorted I can relax. Apparently at the cinema too. I suppose that's something else to shout about instead of moan about. I do have some pretty amazing people in my life right now. They seem to have all come at once, like my own little support network to help me survive the summer in one piece.


I apologise to you now, blog, for not making you anywhere near as long or witty as I would have liked. But, for a first attempt, I'm quite content. I hope you are as well.


Till later...
