Just checked my last entry to see where I got up to. Time goes strangely when I'm at home. I'm looking forward to getting back to university and having a nice timetable which means I can plan everything. Sad I know, but comforting to know I will be able to settle into a routine ( Read more... )

We ended up staying in a lovely little cottage at Oxwich, a 2 min walk from the sea and the weather was gorgeous. It was so warm I swam in the sea, something I very very rarely do in England ( Read more... )

Well I have my last exam tomorrow morning, so I've pretty much been revising lately. And sorting out the last things in France. I'm going to have a major rush after the exam tomorrow cos I have one day to pack up and clean my entire room and sort out everything for the camping trip - argh! Then Lee comes on Friday evening - can't believe we haven;t ( Read more... )
