First.

Yay for first entry! I felt the need to document my excitement for the FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE! Yes, you heard - today a very important letter arrived through the letter box which defined my hopeful arrangements for the coming month of September. What letter, you ask? Nothing less than my au pair-ing contract signed and sealed by the family who will become my host for 10 months until June of next year! So now I can finally come out.

About my plans, obviously.

So I intend to use this blog to rant/rave about every forthcoming until my deptarture from Angleterre and beyond. I've had many diaries over the years but never managed to keep one for longer than about two weeks because I have an attention span of a chicken. However long that is. So I don't care who reads it (though of course, I do) but I hope to happily carry on talking to myself and improving my writing skills along the way. Well that's the main idea!

As for my life at the present, where I can only hear the great bells of the future from a long way away, I have two exams looming over the next week. But after Thursday, the summer holidays officially begin! Can I still call them that when I no longer go to school? Ah, there's university. I'm also very excited for reapplying; the summer, when I'm not working or doing other fun things, will be a time for working my way through a (currently non-existent) reading list, so I can slap my new personal statement with stuff that I have actually read and subjects that actually interest me. I also need to find out what I want to study.

Bring on the soul searching!
