Since I've Been Gone: January & February Wrap Up


I'm back from hiatus! But with uni starting again this week, I don't expect I'll be blogging very frequently as I have lots of other things to do. In the meantime, what happened while I was gone?

  

Life

  • I've been learning to drive! So far so good with the automatic, need lots of practice with the manual. And then we'll have to see about parking...
  • I had a summer job and saved a bit of money, yay! Now I'm back home I have to keep looking for part-time jobs, though...
  • My holiday was generally pretty great, and I felt completely on top of things, like I'd got my shit together after two years of not being very motivated, and it felt good.

Summer Hiatus & December Wrap Up

This month has gone so fast! So what's the goss, you ask?

  

Life

  • I finally got my learner's licence! I passed the theory test with 100%.
  • Our prime minister resigned out of the blue - whaaat?
  • On Boxing Day (26th December) I'm going away for an indefinite period and will most likely not have internet access, so I'm taking a break from blogging. This "holiday" is so I can work but I'm hoping to get a lot of reading and writing done too, I just won't be able to blog about it. So have a great Christmas and New Year, everybody, and I'll see you in 2017!
