Sorry guys!

Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I last updated but it's been a busy couple of month!

Tiffany

Firstly I turned eighteen last month, so I had a lot of celebrating to do, I've been swotting for my driving theory especially since for my birthday I had a little Citroen C2, who I called Tiffany because she has orange interior. Who is a beaut to drive and I honestly can't wait to drive without my dad sitting next to me barking instructions at me! 

One of the many selfies I took that night!

We then had a joint birthday party for me and my uncle who has just turned 30 as well, which meant that there was doubly the celebration and doubly the amount of alcohol drank! Included shots of very very cheap vodka which tasted like nail varnish remover and I swear burned the inside of my throat but I didn't care because I was partying waaay to hard! 
Perks of being 18 is being able to buy alcohol, however, much to my dismay my first attempt at buying alcohol I wasn't asked for any ID but the second time I went to by two bottles of wine I did and I was like "YES of course I have ID!" What an exciting life I lead haha!


 

Me, the boyf and a boxtroll...

Three days later, I went out for a 'date' with a friend, to get coffee, we then ended up having a very deep and meaningful conversation which then lead to him then asking me out and of course I said yes, because I had liked him for a while before then. So it was a win-win situation. I have never been happier to be with someone because he has had the most positive influence on my life and it's only been about a month and honestly I can't wait to see where the future takes us tbh!
I have to thank my best friend for this, as if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have had the courage to message him and tell him how I feel. She used to "ship" us so hard and wanted to make sure that we both were happy and that is what we are now. I honestly can't thank her enough for giving me the courage to tell him I liked him.
I can't thank him enough for saying yes to going and getting coffee.






However, the celebrations had to be cut short as my Great Nan died in her sleep, which shocked us all. However, it was the best possible thing for her, as she was suffering way to much and now she gets to look down on us with the biggest smile on her face because the pain isn't bothering her anymore, she also gets to be with her loving husband, my Grampy Gordan. I hope that I can do her proud in the next couple of years by getting the best possible results at my A levels, and then hopefully getting into my first choice university.
I just wish she was here to witness it all first hand, but we can't have it all now can we? She seen me in my prom dress, she seen my GCSE results, she seen my AS results and I know in those moments that she was happy.
I love you Great-Nan, you wonderful woman x

Aberystwyth Beach

I've also been to universities for open days and summer school and I've meet some amazing people during my time there. However I have come to the conclusion that there is no other university for me other than Cardiff, due to the music scene and the fact that I know what the town is like, I know what to expect on nights out and such. Plus I know that there is always going to be an abundance of jobs, especially when it comes to Rugby season, plus Aberystwyth town was lovely, don't get me wrong,
just the uni was so gray and drab. Plus it was on a hill, which would kill me especially after a night out. However I have not decided which course I want to study because I can't see myself actually in a job. If that makes sense? However, speaking of jobs, I actually managed to get my first job! I still haven't gone through my training, yet they've told me that I have the job, just got to wait for them to tell me when training is. I honestly can't wait for the money to start rolling in!

One of the Two weddings!

I also had two weddings, which was very fun and very tiring. However, it was a good excuse to get drunk and look hot whilst doing so. It's also another excuse to buy about 4 dresses and only wear two, God I am such a girl!
One was for family, the other was my best friends mothers(she might as well be family, I've known her that long!) I honestly couldn't have been happier for either of the two couples, as it gives me hope that not all relationships will crash and burn and completely destroy everything around them.
Plus it was my first wedding in a castle! Imagine that! Plus many episodes of Doctor Who was filmed there so I was in my zone fan-girl wise! It was such an amazing venue, even with the bats flying over my head during the night just added to the whole feel of it being in a castle.

Plus my A2 workload has increased hugely, like I didn't notice it at first but now looking back on it I have been swamped under, between revising for tests and exams to having to decide what I'm going to do my coursework on. Not including trips to Cardiff for coursework related trips and trips to court and prison. I'm so tired all the time because I've been using all my effort in college.

So I apologize for not being as active as I should have, that will change! I promise!

Love Sophie xo
