Lost and Found.

HELLO!!!!!
(imagine me shouting this with arms outstretched from London's 19th century smoke-laden roof tops. Simultaneously scaring the roosting pigeons whilst a glorious sunset stretches out before me.)

Now I've put that ridiculous, musical-esque image in your head, let me apologise for deafening you... but my purpose for my most metaphorical screaming was being to wake both you and I up from our slumber after all these months of inactivity.)

So hello and welcome.

Bare with me whilst I dust the internet's cobwebs off this humble blog and try and engage my writers' voice - which is in serious need of some warming up; perhaps some scales, arpeggios and a gurgle of whiskey will suffice. I can only offer my sincerest atonement if I sound a little stilted but that's what months of creative inactivity and academic essay writing do to you.

In my last post I did give warning about the lack of updates in the forthcoming 'weeks', I didn't, however, anticipate that this would lead to a delay of 5 months. My goodness, almost half a year, Blogspot should make that a crime.

I would blame university life - in fact I will blame university life - for my lack of activity but I will also be painfully truthful and admit that it was partially down to laziness. To be honest, when the majority of time is spent on Word or with your head in a book, the last thing you then want to do is write a blog post.

I can, in fact, give you a list of my priorities after writing an essay all day. It goes:

a) Eat food. Lots of food (insert pasta/rice/other studenty carb of choice here).
b) Drink alcohol. Lots of alcohol (insert Tesco value vodka here - preferably without horse meat).
c) Dance (insert Gangnam Style/Harlem Shake/whatever dance craze is viral at said time here).
d) Exercise (a.k.a sweating off the hangover or removing cabin fever due to said essay writing).
e) Volunteer, go to a society/committee of some sort, watch a film.
f) Sleep.

z) Write blog post.

After all that, it really is miraculous that I'm here now (plus I'm actually very busy at the moment, this is purely a form of 'productive' procrastination) and finally ready to update you on the thrilling tale that is my life.

So, my dear reader, I hope my writing is good enough that you can use your extremely intelligent mind to read between the lines and come to the conclusion that university life is going well. Aha! You would be correct in your deductions!

The degree itself is fascinating but even so, I won't bore you with the gory details. University life lives up to all those lovely stereotypes and luckily to my life's motto - work hard, play harder (although I have been pretty chill lately, yawn).

There's absolutely reams of things to tell and yet so little motivation to tell it. So on that note, I shall sign off here.

P.s. I've suddenly rediscovered why I wrote this blog in the first place - it's so much fun! So hopefully I'll start updating more often (although from my track record...). Much love for now though!

P.p.s. I promise I haven't neglected my interest in music - so I will try and write something more music orientated next time.
