Okay, so it's beginning to look like this summer isn't going to be a waste of time after all! I've finally got some work experience booked at a local newspaper which is very exciting. It's not until August but I can't wait, I've never really done anything like it before so it should be a great learning experience and hopefully a lot of fun as well.

I'm also hoping to get some volunteering done this summer as well, I've always wanted to do some just because it's nice to help people out and I think it could teach me a lot about helping others. So wish me luck that I find something.

On a completely unrelated note, Big Brother is back and as trashy as ever. I hate the show with a passion, I like the idea of it but the execution is all wrong. Take out the game show aspect as well as the public interaction and the tacky gimmicky tasks and what not and then you'd have a pretty interesting social experiment show. Bring in a diverse group of people and see how they live together, not put a hoard of wannabe C-Listers! But with all that said, I have, as ever been sucked into it. Not as much as in previous years, but my curiosity has got the best of me and I have been following it quite well. It's no Apprentice or American Idol but it should keep me entertained over the summer months when usually TV is pretty poor.

Life. I need one. Seriously. Today the only time I left the house was when I took the dog out. I need something to do with myself for the next three months while I'm away from university. A job I would like, but I doubt I'll get one. Who is going to give me a job for three months knowing that I'll be going back to uni and when they can get some kid who is still at school to do it for less money? Grrr! I hope my life doesn't suck this much after I graduate. But that's two years away, which is two years to figure out something to do after those two years. Damn!

I had my first exam yesterday, one down one to go and then that is it for my first year at university! Strange huh?

Anyway, heading home today, joy a three hour train journey awaits me! No actually, I'm hoping it'll be a quite train today, I want to get stuck into Eclipse (Twilight part 3). So far it's got of to a bit of a dull start with not much going on yet, but I'm only on chapter 5 at the moment - these damn exams are taking up all of my time! At least it's the summer holidays soon, then I can get lots and lots of reading (and hopefully writing) done. I've currently still got Stephen King's IT and Agatha Christie's Murder at the Vicarage to read as well as a couple of other's I want to check out.

When did I sign up to this thing? Hold on while I check...

2007! WOW! I didn't think it was that long ago. Well it's by time I put this place to good use. Not that I expect thousands of readers or anything, but it's a pretty nifty place to post my thoughts from time to time even if it does end up just being for me. Well, where to start?

I really haven't been up to much lately, I think the most excitement I've had in the past week was the American Idol final. Sad Adam lost, but whatever, he seems to be doing okay. I have been back at home since my uni term ended (my first year is almost over - scary huh?) and my first exam is tomorrow. Nervous? No not really, despite doing like ten minutes of revising. It doesn't matter though, I have three hours alone on a train in the morning I can do some then. But apart from that nothing. We are moving house soon, back to our old house. I actually can't wait, our garden up there is much bigger and we actually have grass and a patio, yes I said grass and a patio! Hopefully it'll be a nice summer so I can spend some days in the garden with a book, how heavenly does that sound? Pretty heavenly I'd say. Although I do burn easily, so I'm going to have to make sure I have sun cream, and my hayfever needs to be under control as well. God I sound like an old woman!

I guess that's it for now, I just wanted to put this place to good years after having it since December 2007, that's what just over a year? Or a year and a half? I know my maths sucks!
