Wow, its been such a long time since my last post and a lot has certainly happened, and my life has changed so much!
For starters, I have started university! I got AAB in my A levels, so got into the University of Sheffield to study Biomedical Science. I've been in Sheffield for 7 weeks now, and finally feel settled. Homesickness hit me really hard in the first few weeks, and all I wanted to do was to go home. I found everything really overwhelming, and found it really difficult to adjust to my new life. Luckily, I have made some wonderful friends, both flatmates and on my course, who supported me through, and eventually I felt settled in my new home, or as my dad perfectly described it, "base" I'm not a big drinker, and would much prefer a few quiet drinks at the pub to a big flat party or club, which served to accentuate my dislike for uni life during Fresher's week, but once lectures and work kicked in, I began to feel much happier.
My course is pretty demanding, and keeps me busy. I'm stressed already, which isn't surprising, but it appears that I perform well in stressful situations, so I'm trying not to let it all get on top of me, and try and harvest it to making me more productive. I have however become even better at the art of procrastination, which I didn't even think possible!
As you can tell, its been a busy couple of months, and below are some pictures of what I've been up to.

I am hoping to start blogging more
regularly again to document my time at university, so I can look back at it
when I’m older, and for other people to read and learn from my experiences. I aim to post recipes of easy student meals, advice, and to keep a journal of any exciting stuff I get up to, so watch this space!
