random points

Yesterday I was hit by the realiseation that it is 9 weeks until I move back to university, and although this filled me with a mixture of both excitement and the fear of knowing it is my final year which means I am slowly getting nearer to having to make big responsible 'adult life' decisions. Which if you know me well causes this thought to occur;

'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!' and then I'd probably get distracted by something shiney!

Anyway, moving on from that. This also led me to think about things I have enjoyed as well as the things I will miss that I have experienced over my year off. And in no particular order here they all are in bullet form;

• The girls and random boy that I work with. I've worked with a few of them for near on 9 years now and get on with them all so much, I always miss them when I am away at uni and I like being able to have a laugh and confide in people that I work with. Although, I am not a huge fan of the early morning starts, the occasionally annoying customer and some of the bad news we have had this year. But still, I love them all lots and miss them all already.
• Beavers, I've only been going since the start of March, which resulted in me kicking myself over not getting involved sooner and then going on a massive hunt to find a local beaver unit in Lincoln that I can get involved with next year at university. I have had some really sweet conversations with the children, ranging from how far away santa lives (1 trillion miles apparently), why where I work isn't called Thomas the Tank Engine Bakers and why families are different.
• Coming home from work and not having to worry about getting on with essays/reading for uni/anything university related.
• Mum- for her awesome cooking, random hugs, awesome days out and all the freebies of living at home.

I'm sure there are more points, but I have forgotten them right now to be honest. I just cannot believe how fast the past year has gone! It's hard to believe that this time last year it seemed such a long time away!
