Woah, it’s been another one of those crazy weeks. This was my first full (1 down, 2 to go) week doing a work placement in a local school, and it’s been hard work. I said it already, but teaching is definitely not for me! I tried to stop some children from play fighting the other day but it back fired and they started trying to tie my shoe laces together – I made sure not to let them succeed at doing that but that they even tried says a lot I think :S (Probably one of the funniest things to happen to anyone doing this placement…)

Also this week, I returned to uni for a day to see friends for one last time before the summer, move out of my room and collect results. Seems strange to think that my first year (1 down, 2 to go) has finished already, but it’s been really enjoyable and I did just fine in my results despite worrying about them (highest mark in my year, apparently ). Leaving my own room wasn’t that strange, but saying goodbye to the friends I’ve made and thinking that I won’t be seeing much of them for the next 3 months, and not living with some of them next year, seemed very strange!

Being home is super cool though, I’ve met up with my closest friends from school a couple of times already, though I haven’t been able to spend long with them due to all sorts of others things going on. While I’m at uni I don’t often think how much I enjoy spending time with them, but when I’m home and with them it always hits me how much I like them! Things always seem to click straight back into place whenever we meet, which is pretty incredible after we’ve all been doing a lot more of our own thing for the last three years or so.

Here’s to friends!
