Poor Annabel having to suffer my awful playing hahah!

Yesterday was my first day at my job, where I am doing a months work experience with possibility of doing a months paid work after, at a graphic design studio. Its odd… to say the least…

Updated later :)

Summer is here. The days seem longer. Life brighter.

I have finished university now and I cannot honestly believe that I have already finished my first year. It went so unbelievable quickly its insane. So much drama had happened, good and bad. And I have changed so much as a person, that it can only be considered as positive. Mistakes have been made. Friends have been met and lost. And love has been found and stayed here with me.

Back in September, I remember thinking how good everything was going to be. Finally after 19 years to be given free-reign on my own life. My 100% in control of what I do, without having parents and family restricting it. I could fully gain my independence that I had craved for so long. Straight away, even within the first few weeks of me being at university I noticed things changing. I felt able to handles more easily which previously I had found very difficult, and for the time I was able to stand up for myself, and grow myself the spine that I had never had before, when it came to confronting people that just walked all over me. Don’t get me wrong, I still let some walk all over me, but I learnt and I know that is now the distant past.

Forgetting to bad, unimportant memories that became of university, so much more happy memories emerged. Second term I met some incredible people. People I know that will be there for years to come, and that are true friends that will treat me with respect, as I always so to others. I found love as well. Something that I honestly thought I would never find again. Last year I had it, I had it for three years and I thought that was it. I love one person and that was my only chance, and then my some miracle, someone amazing, and indescribably so perfect came along. SOmeone who shared my interest, understands me, someone I get on well with, there is never friction (except with politics haha) and I know that this I cannot lose.

This summer I am looking forward to most out of anything. My first job people! It is a miracle. When people ask me if I have a job, and I say I have never had one, they always seem shocked, well now I can know I cant answer that again and say “YES SIR! I do indeed currently hold a place on employment” but no so much like an arrogant snob. Working for the summer in  graphic design studio is actually a dream. I know I am going to learn to much, and get an unimaginable amount of it. University teaches you the basics, but it doesn’t give you experience, and this will. I can have this as well on my CV and hopefully it will put me ahead of many if applying for a high end job, which I do hope to eventually do…. eventually.

Spain is coming as well, the annual family holiday to L’Estartit. The place i have known for twenty years, and I am so glad that we go to the same place every year, its like going to a second home. Knowing the people, knowing the surroundings like the back of your hand, and feeling so at ease. The best part about it is Chris will be here this year, which is going to make it the best holiday ever. We are going to port Aventura, and so many other things. I am looking forward to it sooo much.

I will try and keep you undated, especially when I get to work in my first job, no doubt there will be lots to report, because I will be a very excited little person!

Bye Kids!

I believe in what they stand for, especcially their views on private education…..

“Do you really think you should have to pay for a better education?” I keep getting asked.

Well you know what, we get the saem education, its just EVERYONE concentrates, and EVERYONE tries hard, cause their parents are breaking their backs to try and let the children have a better future than them…

So, if you don’t agree, I dont care. My views :)
