Don't really know why I am writing this post.... I am really sorry if anyone actually reads this blog as it is literally just my random, jumbled, confused, messed up ramblings! I'm sitting on my bed in my room in Leeds.
I had SUCH a stressful day yesterday trying to sort my work out...turnitin (the online submitting process that my university uses) was being an absolute nightmare and I got myself in a complete tizz. Luckily my stuff was submitted and done so thats good! I got asked to do a presentation at a University conference for postgraduates next year about gender violence (my dissertation subject)! Really exciting and touching to have been asked.
Heading off to London for a 'weekend getaway' with my pal Eliza. Will be really nice just to escape for a while... I know it sounds weird since I've only been back for a week but it has been very intense what with work and the severe lack of people living in my house now. At least I know that next week I will be extremely productive and sort my life out... I hope!
I'm so silly, I stress out about the most ridiculous things ever- have been having wee panic attacks all day about so many different things- summer plans, internships, module enrolment, life generally! I guess that is why I am writing here, I find it really soothing just to be able to write everything out, its a way that I can say how I am feeling without worrying that people will judge me. (Please don't judge me I am not a pyscho I promise!).
It was my little brother's first day of GCSE exams today. How crazy is that?! It feels like only last week that I was sitting them! I know you're going to think that I am complete freak when I say this but I loved GCSE year... it was so much fun! I mean, the work sucked but it was when I suddenly started to feel like I was finally growing up. Thats another weird thing, I have always wanted to grow up- be older than I am. Weird eh?!

EASTER!
Haven't written here in SO LONG. But hey, I am going to get back on it.
I am nearing the end of a fantastico Easter holiday break, not going to lie that these last couple of days are going quite slowly as I've realised how much work I have to do...!
My Easter began with a week in Serbia on a Geography fieldtrip. I was surprised when I got there because it wasn't what I imagined at all. Despite being the second poorest country in Europe and common misconceptions, I thought that a large majority of it was beautiful. We were based in Belgrade and focusing on the 'urban planning' of the city. The impact of both the Socialist and Austro-Hungarian periods is evident- with Socialist housing being the main feature of the city. Whether you are euro-railing or wanting to get away, I recommend a trip there- cheap accomodation, beer and a fun nightlife...what more could a student want?!
I then came back home to Scotland where I chilled out, catching up with old friends, before making the short journey over to Belfast for Easter weekend with the cousins. It was so nice to see them and spend time with them...its so difficult now when we are all in different stages of our life! The weather was amazing so we had BBQs outside and played tennis- I even contemplated going swimming in the sea, but soon realised that would have been a big mistake!
Now back to uni for the last three weeks of work, work and work! I'm sure I will post again soon with all my moaning etc!
