Okay, I have, but just a little bit! It is now past mid-August and I haven't vlogged OR blogged in far too long. Things have been, well, hectic.
I had my trip to Scotland with my best friend Stella, had a fantastic time and it was a much needed break from University. I haven't uploaded the photos yet, but they will be up soooommmmmeetime... I have 6 weeks until my thesis is due - I knew this was coming, but somehow I was not the least bit prepared for the craziness and stress I am feeling right now. I move house in 3 weeks, from the halls of residence to a cosy B&B 20 minutes walk down the road. It will be good to be forced to start packing for the big move back to New Zealand, but the accommodations are a little less than luxurious - no kitchen, no laundry, shared bathroom, no breakfast. Basically just a roof over my head, a bed, and a kettle. Looks like dinner will be alternating between cup-o-soup and 2-minute noodles for my last 3-4 weeks in Wales! She'll be right, I mean, what more do you need? There is a launderette just down the road, and I'll be spending most of my time at University anyway.
Rotary is a bit quiet at the moment, we've had a few events where I thought I was going to be needed but things fell through last minute. I have a presentation to give to the RC of Porthcawl this coming Monday, so I'm looking forward to meeting their club and sharing ideas. Next week out meeting is focusing on Youth projects, so I'm excited to learn and discuss that area! I'm booked in for my leaving speech on the 13th October, something I am not looking forward to. Amongst all this University/moving house/travel-photo-processing/viva dates stress, I am really starting to realize I leave this amazing country in 2 months, with no return ticket (I actually still don't have flights out of this country, so I may just be stuck here, solving everything!). I knew I loved Wales, but I really thought I'd grown up enough that this "see you later" wasn't going to be too much of a big deal. WRONG. Well, I'm just going to have to suck it up, so much work to be done!
Hopefully you will hear from me soon :)
