It's been a long time since I've written a blog post but my past few months have been solidly taken up by revision and final assessments. It's been good to finally break out of the constant 9-6 in the library every day doing revision and essays. Nervous about how they turned out and how it may have impacted on my final degree grade, but I'm relieved that it is all over. Very weird thing to say, after three whole years: My degree is over! Now I just have a few weeks left in Leicester to make the most of being a student and the best thing of all: I get to read books I actually want to read! For fun! With no guilty feelings! What more could you want?
I've started reading loads of books - maybe to combat the lack of it for so long, now reading as many as I can, all at the same time - so I'll try and make my way through some reviews and tweet about them! It's good to be able to read all the time when I want to, although I'm finding I've been so busy getting things together and catching up on fun things post-exams that I've not had as much time as I'd like!
I've also been pre-occupied with sorting out my summer Interrail trip across Europe. Although it needs to be booked up (in the next few days), the trip has been basically planned and it's so exciting! It feels a lot more real now we've planned it. We're going to: Paris, Cannes, Pisa, Rome, Naples, Florence, Verona, Venice, Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, Krakow, Prague, Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Brussels.
So many places! Going to be the most amazing month ever! I've spent months having to suppress all thoughts about what to pack and what to buy and where to go, but now my finals are over, I now get to go shopping and get super-organised! Although by the looks of things, everything I liked/wanted seemed to disappear from the shops now I'm actually able to buy! Overall it's going to be so amazing, the trip of a lifetime and it's all coming together now! The next important bit is to decide which books to take on my Kindle to read! Hopefully there'll be plenty of time on the train journeys to get some reading in!
It's going to be so so good! Summer is here!
