I'm back!



Hello!

I'm very aware of the fact that I haven't blogged for AGESSSS and for that I apologise, but I feel like the past few months have been very, very busy!

The last few months of university were extremely jam-packed with assignments and exam revision followed by the very nerve-wrecking exams themselves. Then I had to wait till July 9th before I knew whether I'd be resitting...

In between then, the No Adults Allowed show I present really took off! I've got new features, I got involved in our NAA cinema club reviewing Maleficent (which just for the record is an amazing must-see film!) and I am currently writing our first NAA radioplay, which will be aired in September! I also interviewed Sochi Olympic medalist Jade Etherington live at the Lincolnshire show, which was an absolutely fabulous experience and one I'll never forget. She is a lovely lady and an inspiration! Siren FM has certainly taken up a lot of my time.

I've also spent a weekend at the end of June at Center Parcs for the first time ever which was very enjoyable and a lovely way to spend having been together a year with my special guy! And just last week I was in Pentewan in Cornwall for my family holiday which was just a lovely! The sea was crystal clear even way out of depth and it was perfect sunshine all week; plus the Eden Project is fantastic!

Plus the speed with which I got a paid Friday-Saturday job was crazy! Early April, I decided to hand some CVs out in my local area as I was coming up blank during online searches. That night I had a phonecall; the manager of one place wanted an interview the very next day! When I arrived, I discovered it wasn't even a proper interview; they described the job, checked what hours I could and if I was happy with what I would be doing and asked if I could start that Friday! I accepted and haven't regretted my decision yet! Everyone I work with are very kind and we always have a great laugh.

So, my exam results? Was I going to have to resit? Could I make it onto Year Two of English and Journalism?

Well, I'm over the moon to say that all my efforts did me proud and I got straight onto next year at university, no resits, no agony! It was honestly probably one of the most relieving moments of my life!

So its definitely been a very busy few months for me! But I'll try keep up blogging; in fact my next blog will be about 'The Fault In Our Stars' (the book).

Till the next time,
