Hellooo, it has certainly been a while!
I'm having the first creatively productive day in a while. All of my university work is in for the year now and so the start of the run up to exams has begun. Revision can wait a day though. Instead, I would rather let my ink stained fingers tap on the keys, alongside musical goodness.
Since the last blog I have moved to Lancaster, started my course, met lots of new people, been to lovely places, etc., etc., etc... and generally things are going well!
I feel like I've 'lucked out' this year really. The English Language and Linguistics course at Lancaster is ridiculously good [ən əz ʊtəliː ɪ̃ŋkɹiːsd̚ ma lʷʊv ə fənɛtɪks], my house mates are lovely - all 11 of them!, and I have met some really good friends so far.
7 of my house mates: Alex, Laura, Lucy, Kim, Ben, Bav, Me & Beth :)
I recently went to Italy and completely fell in love with Umbria. My friend Hannah has been living in Foligno for six months or so teaching English in various towns to various people or various ages. I'm going to look into this as a possible path for me to follow after graduating in the hope that it will provide a feasible career alongside travelling/living in a different country. Italy is at the top of the list at the moment. It was lovely to get away and see Hannah again. We watched films, made pasta and drunk wine in the evenings and I explored nearby towns during the day; I had the leasure of getting myself acquainted with Assisi, Santa Maria, Spello, Spoleto and a strange China town-esque area of Rome. I'm planning my trip back already - September!

Treated to a lovely meal and a bottle of red
