It must nearly be this modest little blogs first birthday, or potentially belated birthday... I feel like LOTS has happened in the past year, and a vast amount of this never made it to this blog. In fact I think a lot has happened in the month or so since I last blogged. I start to wonder how much time I had on my hand during my placement abroad... Wow
I just wanted to get this photo in early. You only get to play graduation dress up once right? |
I have moved (albeit temporarily) to Oxford, started an internship at Oxford University Press, and graduated! All of which have been a great experience (and in the past month!)..
I am just going to keep this very short and sweet. I just want to make sure I keep this blog ticking along so that I can start blogging properly when I have a bit more time. However, who knows when that will be?! I want to start a cake appreciation blog at some point in the future just in case you were wondering where this blog is heading!
I am really enjoying work, and I am soooo much happier than when I was slogging my way through the final stretch of my degree. It might be more than just the work keeping me happy, such as living in a beautiful place and meeting all the other lovely interns, but I can't help but think the work suits me as well! I feel like this has been an invaluable experience, although I am now craving a summer holiday in the sunshine big time - probably because it feels like summer is over here already. (Obviously I can't get through this post without mentioning the weather)
Graduation was also such a happy day! And here are a couple of photos because you only get to wear the gown and cap once. Another graduation day is probably the only thing which would be worth doing a Masters for!
All the family! And me looking much taller than I actually am! |
An on a final note I turned the grand age of 22 at the weekend! Thanks to all the people who sent messages, cards, gifts and a special thanks to all my wonderful friends who have come to visit me in Oxford. I had so much fun showing you all around. I have already decided I am going to stay 22 forever...
Lovely photo down by the river, courtesy of Rimini! |
I really want to stay in Oxford, I am enjoying it a lot at the moment, so watch this space for a more permanent move. Anywhere is more exciting than Southampton or Leighton Buzzard anyway!
How can you not appreciate living somewhere with so much green space? |
