Now, originally, today's blog was going to be: "Digging Deep: Should we live life to please others?" which has been sitting as a draft for almost two months in my dashboard but then as I started writing the start of today's blog, I realised that if I wrote an update with the original topic, it would be too long! Not that many people take the time to read these anyway! (Not sure if there should be a sad face here). Instead, I'm going to leave that Digging Deep article for later on this month.
So, if I remember correctly, the last time I blogged, I still hadn't written up my trip to Switzerland. It has now been two months since I've been to Switzerland and I just can't be bothered to write anymore so its just photos that everyone will have to settle for.
Over the past month, I've been trying to get myself to start getting active again. But apparently, active doesn't go well with me and as of 15:58pm today, I've still not done anything to get active! I'm not sure what I need to get motivated but there's just no motivation around me at the moment to get me down to the Sports Centre.
Having returned to work after getting back from Uni, I actually dread going in the days I do. The atmosphere has changed significantly since last summer and I can't point my finger at why. People just don't get along and they just don't care anymore. At times, I wish everything hadn't changed at all but having said all this stuff before, change is supposed to lead to good things. Even if they start off bad. There are times, however, that work doesn't feel like a chore (and those of you who know me well will know that I used to enjoy working at WHSmith) but those are relatively scarce now. I think its kind of a sign telling me to move on. And I think I will, although rumour has it that I'm wanted back at Christmas. For me, thats too far ahead to decide now.
What's disappointed me this summer is that I've not yet had a chance to go back to Manchester and see family. The last time I was there was in February and that turned out to be one of the unhappiest trips I've taken with the news that my Grandad had passed away. But I guess not being there this summer will probably be made up by being in Manchester even more later this year because there's no doubt that I'll be visiting Laura when she starts her course later this year.
Looking ahead, in just under a month, I will be back in Coventry with the guys in a new house with a new job. The house is pretty much all sorted apart from the fact that I have to pay rent every month...a ridiculous amount of rent. The new job is pretty recent news to me as I only got the job on Wednesday. I'm not sure what it is I'll be doing exactly but it does offer better pay and flexibility to go with my second year at Coventry University. I'm not quite sure how I'll find the second year and I'm hoping that this years results of 77% overall won't encourage me to relax a little. On the bright side, I've qualified for a scholarship this year which should make life a little easier.
To round off today's blog, I'm going to introduce an old friend's new vlog. Give it a look here and give him some feedback!
For now...
