Long Time, No Blog

Ok I have about four weeks of Katy's life to catch up on, so get a cuppa tea and a biccy, put your dressing gown on, and get cosy...

Generally I'm loving life, feeling really happy, loving being single! I have ridiculous cravings to own a dog - a border collie puppy to be specific, I've now set a realistic date - June 2011 (if I don't go travelling), speaking of which, following trip to Spain on TOUR (which will be spoken of later on) and an upcoming trip to Naples, I seem to have got the travel bug, I just want to go abroad, go on holiday, go travelling, go exploring, go party! Anyone want to go on holiday with me this summer?

The house was broken into again for the second time in two months, this has really disturbed me, resulting in sleeping with the light on, feeling incapable of sleeping in a house alone, and deciding to go into private halls at £109 a week, just for the security.

I'm loving being at home, seeing family and catching up with friends, although sadly I don't have enough time to do everything that I want, and some people are missing in action, so I am not able to fulfil the satisfactory feeling of having seen all the best people.

I went to Salou in Spain for Tour, this is where about 8000 students go to a resort to have a sports tournament but mostly treat it like Spring Break/and 18-30s/a four night fancy dress binge drinking bonanza. It was absolutely immense, I met loads of people travelling with my University's football and netball team. I also had my fair share (the most of anyone in our group) of male attention, woop! There were so many legendary moments which have formed 'in jokes' which I feel now leave me as a public liability when I'm in a crowded pub and feel the urge to take my shoe off, bang it on the wall and chant: "SHOE ARMY" etc...

I am suffering post-Salou with a cold, probably as a result of 30 hour coach journey and its inconsistent heating/air conditioning, drinking every night until 6am, and kissing total randoms. eurghh. Before I went I had just got over the flu, so its a bit annoying being ill AGAIN. By the way, it WAS the actual flu, and not 'flu' or 'man flu' I had the can't get out of bed for 50 quid syndrome...

I am spending much of my time stressing about summer plans; my parents will be in France for 4 months, so I can either choose go with them (with no tv or internet) or work near them, or stay in Manchester (alone?) or work in Essex or London and stay at home (alone) tough choices. Annoying because I don't know if and when and where I'll get a job, so don't know whether to get tickets for events like Pangaea, Beach Break Live, The Big One, etc etc. Annoying times.

I apologise that this blog has not been too interesting or in any form witty, but I just felt that I needed to spew brain thoughts of what I've been upto, then once that's out of the way I can continue to blog about the smaller, more comical aspects of weekly life.

Also I am very keen to hit the gym on a potential daily basis when I return to Manchester, and also diet/be very well behaved about what I'm eating, as I've had a real self induced epiphany about how I want to look and feel. (thinner) So with the aid of public humiliation, I may comment on weight loss with each blog as a way to keep on track, so keep reading/snooping...

Until then, I'll be chilling at home with family and friends and then visiting Liz in Naples, so I'll update this blog after that, heading back to Manc, to see which of my possessions have and haven't been stolen, and to start a military style self induced fitness plan, along with the first rehearsals for The University of Manchester Glee Club, as well as general job hunting for solving my summer problem. If anyone can think of a job/solution/wants to live with me in Essex or Manchester then let me know!

Peace Up
A Town Down
Yeah
