Before it changes again

Reporting from the sunny (sunny sunny) Algarve. I'm currently sitting outside in the Portuguese sunshine with a cup of coffee and the 1975 in my ears. Bliss.

So it's been a while since I've written my last blog post. I do that too often. I think I forget sometimes as I have a physical diary and tend to write everything down there and forget about my little blog. Let's launch into this post with gusto and enthusiasm.

I'm trying to think of anything in particular that's happened over the past few months, but if I'm being ridiculously honest then nothing monumental has - I've just really been enjoying myself and drinking lots of wine, After moving into my new flat I went home for a while. I keep having major homesickness waves - which makes Glasgow living a little less, hm, not manageable but, likeable? I miss European culture. I don't think I'll ever identify with Glasgow. I definitely think university will help, as I am now 100% a full-on language student! Psychology has promptly been crumpled up into a ball and will not resurface. Next year's going to be tough and challenging, but oh am I ready for it. As soon as I'm immersed in languages and uni life everything will be better.

This post is going to have no consistency whatsoever by the way. This is just me saying random things that pop into my head and I somehow manage to throw on a page.

I got a job! Finally. I'm actually really excited about it - finally earning my own money again. That means I can buy a lot of flowers and save a lot to go travelling. I know in a couple of weeks I'll probably want to kill all member of the public but hey! I think I get free coffee so I will never complain.

You know those songs. Those songs that remind you of a very very specific feeling or time in your life? I've been listening to a lot of songs that helped me through some really awful things and they still make me sad. I think some people underestimate the sheer power of music - it can literally change your life.

I'm having that really bad feeling that I talk about the same things in all of my blogposts. Sorry for all the I LOVE BELGIUM rants. I should just accept my fate and cover my background with a belgian flag. On that note actually, I have a dilemma that I don't quite know what to with. Because I am an idiot I still haven't got a driving license. Now the problem is I really don't want to learn in Glasgow. Besides the fact that it's on the wrong side of the road, there's another reason I really want to take it at home. If my parents leave then I will have literally no connection with it anymore. My ID card will run out and I won't be able to get another one. If I do it at home I'll have a Belgian license.I know that sounds really ridiculous but it makes sense in my brain. Then again my brain is a mess.

I wanted to write a blogpost before second year started or even before I went back to Glasgow after my little holiday in the sun. Things change too quickly. so this is me right now. Things could change next week - who knows. I just want to give myself a little reminder before life starts again.

Okay this has been such a rambly-withoutapoint post. Have a picture or two to break up the nonsense.




Mariana and I being loons and enjoying ourselves.

Anyhow! The point of the post was basically that right now I'm happy. I'm happy right now.

Beaucoup d'amour.
