Day Six:

Ok this might have been a bit of a rushed topic and a rushed post in general but its a post. I am very much reminded of blagging out an Essay just to have something to hand in. It's rubbish I know, but forgive me, I tried and I think I scraped a Pass. Maybe a D?

I've had a busy day today involving going to work, sorting some stuff out on my car and handing in my resignation to Somerfield.

Since I am finishing work and should really start packing for Univeristy I'd like to reflect back on how Summer has been. I have really enjoyed this Summer despite not having done much. Though i've missed some opputunities, such as climbing with Andy, Sid, and Nina, I have done other things like going to Portsmouth with Dan and Nina, and Stratford with Emma.

I've also managed to work this holiday and, despite it having worn me down to the point where I can't wait to leave, I have some funds ready to start back at Uni and to help pay off any overdrafted I've used up this summer.

It's nice not to stay in one place for too long. Derby was getting boring by the end of the year, there was little to do, and little to see, but Solihull has been a refreshing change, especially considering I was dreading the Summer prior to it. In my opinion the Summer has been just long enough, I have reached the stage where I am begining to want to go back to Uni and see all my mates there, but I am not yet completely sick and bored of being at home. As all my mates from here begin to leave and go off to different parts of the country (and in one case world) it will be time for me to move back and begin a third year.

It's interesting how life can be split into segments, such as 'Summer' or 'Uni', and because of the Education system I never think of 'Years' as being 1st Jan - 31st Dec, Years are what they are in Edcutation terms now. There are years where I started new and bigger schools, years where I made new friends. Though its hard to recall them all at any one given moment there are so many different memories clustered in my head surrounding each part of my life and I very much look forward to what the future ones bring.

If I was to make a prediction, as to where the next year will lead, it is one of great and happy times, though also one of sad departures and one of fear of the unknown. The next year brings the coming of an End as I will finish University, along with my housemates. It will be hard and challenging, but it will be an amazing memory.

Memorably,
