I'm back

I have decided I am going to blog more often, why? Well it certainly isn't because my millions of adoring fans have demanded it (although thanks to those of you still soaking up my thoughts of non wisdom)! It is because I need to keep up my writing, with no formal output and the book on the back burner until after my exams (16-19th Nov ahhhh) I need to keep up with some sort of writing or I may forget how to do it altogether!!
The past couple of weeks have been pretty interesting and by interesting I mean dull as dish water! All I am doing is saving money and revising, neither of which are going exactly to plan! So basically I am sitting in doing sod all or sitting at work doing sod all! That's a bit of a lie, work is busy(ish) unfortunately it is not exactly fulfilling and I am finding myself dreaming of better things, I am not sure what those things are givent the current climate, I hardly picked the best time to make my break into journalism! It has also got me thinking about living somewhere else, not without Matt of course, that would be like trying to leave a limb behind (or three) he does after all keep me sane, fed and a roof over my head, without him I am fairly certain I would be living in a box somewhere selling short stories for KitKats! But anyway I digress....I have been thinking about London (again) the City I once vowed never to return to, but I have been a few times now, I have learnt the basics of getting around (often alone I may add)! And I quite like our capital, I mean yes it's big, full of people and rubbish and rubbish people, but that's also its charm right? You can get lost amongst all thos people and in a way be totally liberated by being totally ignored, you can visit musuems, eat at anytime of the day or night and literally loose yourself! I also have friends there now, so the place just suddenly seems warm and almost inviting...I know...shocking!! But then the other day I saw a post for a job in Newport in Wales for a junior reporter, and I guess that is kind of my aim, somewhere medium sized and friendly, nice shops, pleaseant people and slightly upperclass area (that's the snob in me coming out)! But Wales? Really? I have never even been so I am not having a dig at the place, all I know is what I have read about it online andit sounds great, the sea, the surfing, the shops etc.. and I would love to go, for a holiday, but could I up sticks (mine and matts) and move somewhere totally random for a job? Well at this stage, a large part of me is thinking maybe, I want to really get my career started and at the moment I feel like I am on hold, it may be about time I stopped expecting life to come to me and go out and get it myself!! Lets just watch this space eh!
