Ok now I've calmed down I'll do a proper update- quite alot has happened since I last gave my Xanga some much needed attention- last update was February 2007 so....
May 2007- I took my university finals, two went well, one went badly with a nerve induced vomit in the morning that lead to me sitting in my exam with a bucket. Bad times. However I managed to come out with a 2.2 and now have LL.B (Hons) after my name. Good times.
June 2007- I spent a month travelling about the UK area catching up with family and friends and generally enjoying my new found freedom, kissing inappropriate boys and other such misdemeanours.
July 2007- I enjoyed the hotness of the month with many outdoor bbq's, general socialising and achieving very little.
August 2007- I stumbled upon an attractive man in the Ring O Bells and successfully obtained him as my boyfriend a fortnight later. As of the 22nd we officially became "an item". On the 26th it was my Nan and Grandads Diamond Wedding Anniversary. We hired an open top Old Southdown Bus and went out for a lovely lunch then spent the afternoon at the park playing rounders. In the evening we went to my Uncles. Mandy met my Dad's girlfriend for the first time and behaved with such grace and dignity I don't think I've ever felt so proud of her.
September 2007- Not alot happened this month. More "getting to know" stuff with the man and Mum embarked upon her second year at UWE.
October 2007- I turned 22! I had a wonderful night with the Choof where we danced around the lounge, played games and drank copious amounts of Rose. I expanded my product range on my website and trialled new brands, eventually settling on Condomi. This was the month that my wisdom teeth began causing problems, with an emergency extraction of my upper left, which had caused my gum to swell up considerably leaving me in so much pain I wanted to chop off my face. Bad times.
November 2007- GRADUATION! On the 9th November my official title was bestowed upon me with an actually "not as boring as I expected" ceremony at Bristol Cathedral. We went for a lovely lunch afterwards and then I had another celebration in the evening with Ryan. 2 wisdom tooth infections
December 2007- I had a minor depression wobbler in December so much of that month was spent in a bit of a black hole. It was triggered by the usual suspects but fortunately passed without too much of a drama. 2 wisdom tooth infections
January 2007- On Monday I am FINALLY having two of my wisdom teeth removed, which will leave me with my left lower one. When I go to have the other two out on Monday they'll make an appt with me for the other one so I can kiss goodbye to the bastards! Very anxious about how much pain I'm going to be in afterwards considering that the upper right isn't through, but putting my faith in the hands of the dental man. Can't have them out in the dentists chair as they're impacted, which is a shame.
So... that's been me! Obviously the most exciting development is the new boyfriend, who is not so new now as we're coming up for 5 months. He's taught me alot about myself (not all good) but I can honestly say I've never been as happy as I am now. Being with Ryan has made me realise how unhealthy alot of my past relationships were, and for the first time in my life I have a true understanding of what it is to work in genuine partnership with another person. He works and lives up near Leeds so unfortunately we're having to do the long distance thing, which does concern me at times. You have that fear about potential make or break upheaval in the future, but at the same time there's no guarantee that won't happen in a relationship where you're both living in the same county. I don't want to be cheesy (so I won't) but I did have that "lightning bolt" moment with him and I do feel like he's my best friend. I'm glad I calmed down and stopped changing my boyfriends as often as I changed my underwear because I think monogamy is definitely for me!
I guess I'm learning alot about the uncertainty of life, and how you have no guarantees of your own happiness and success, you have to go out, grab hold of it and make it yours, so that is my resolution for 2008.
I hope you're all ok and can't wait to see you all soon! xxxxx
