Since last we spoke...

After having a quick read over my blog this afternoon, I am appalled at how long it's been since I wrote a blogpost with actual words! My last 'proper' blog post was written in November and a LOT has changed since then! Since November the 6th, 2011:

One new job, one magazine internship, one graduate diploma of education and one Wednesday night bible study have been started

Four weeks and eight distributed days have been spent on prac, seventy-four lesson plans have been written and one play about three little piggies has been performed

Two exams have been written and far too many assignments have been cried over

One chilly Saturday morning was spent horse-riding and one sweet sixteenth has been celebrated, as well as two Christmases in July and one mexican fiesta, which wasn't really a celebration but really an excuse to eat nachos and wear ponchos.

An embarrassing amount of Beverly Hills 90210 episodes have been watched and far too many karaoke Thursdays have been spent at Paddy Malone's.

Nine reviews have been published, one book festival has been covered, three authors have been interviewed and one extremely uncomfortable hob-nobbing writers event has been attended

One Bruno Mars concert has been attended as well as one James Blunt, one Belle and Sebastian, one The Apprentice and (nearly) one Chris Brown.

One MacBook Pro has been purchased, as well as one box set of The Office (English version, of course), one pair of pirate boots and one nifty little fire pit which will be toasting many marshmellows in the last few weeks of dreary winter weather.

A measly nine books have been read, including The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which reminded me how infinite it feels to be young and One Day, which reminded me of how finite youth really is.

New friends have been made, some friends have left and many have been sorely missed but family have been a dependable constant.

That's about all I can think of for now.  I promise to be better at keeping in touch.

Lots of love,
Miss Manship
