In the run up to exams

I have realised that my personal hygiene standards go straight out the window. And because of that, to my flat mates, I apologise.
I also seem to trash my room 5 minutes after tidying it, so until 3pm Tuesday, when I return home after my exam, it will remain a mess. After which I will tidy, hoover and dust, along with cleaning my bathroom.
I also need to eat my remaining food, and start to pack up my stuff:

• My clothes
• My Laptop and printer
• My TV
• My toiletries
• Some photos
• My books and folders
• And food items.

I really can't wait. Counting down the days, 6 sleeps to go!!
Friday will be good, last lecture of this year/semester 1, and it's a placement one, yay! Then home to finish packing, and a pampering session for me, I sure as hell need it! Nice long...Shower, I don't have a bath!! Pedicure, manicure, etc. Relax!! It'll all be over (assuming I've submitted my MCQ...)!!
And veg out, watch a few episodes of Grand designs, a bit of tele, sleep and then wake up and go home! Yay!!

Tomorrow will all be about OSCE prep! Going in at 9am with Clare to practice! I just want it to be over and done with now!!!!
Bring on Friday!!!

First post...

It's Wednesday, 3 days until I leave for uni. I'm mostly packed, except the few bits that have to be packed the day I leave. It's weird to think my whole life is in boxes.
11 days untill my birthday.

Photos, I have lots of photos. And they will be the first thing to go up!! I have all my kitchen stuff (thanks mother) and my bathroom and bedding stuff, all blue, (again, thanks mother! and nan, :) ). I have a suitcase of clothes to take..although my shoes don't fit in!! A few bits from my room I wanted to keep, and a box full of text books; heavy, expensive text books. I have a 1TB harddrive full of music(and photos) courtersy of my 'friend' Jac. So it'll be unpack, chill with the music...hit the freshers event?! :-D

I'm looking forward to having a new place to explore, new things to see and people to meet. It's like a fresh start, a new adventure, where hopefully I can escape the small mindedness of most the people living on the Isle of Wight. Don't get me wrong I think it's a lovely place to live, if your old, or a sheep.
Pretty in a simple, natural way; lots of grass and trees, peace and quiet....I imagine I'll look forward to coming home to find that peace again, as it's a far cry from the busy city I'm moving to.

I think I will miss the comfort of having my family so close, but I don't think I will get home sick. I won't miss Liv, only because of last year I got used to not seeing her much; will miss my drinking partner on a Thursday night; my Tuesday evenings with Ben; and my cat. I'll miss him a lot.
It's scary to think that this is the start of 3 years that will, hopefully, change, and shape the rest of my life.

BSc (Hons) Occupational therapy at the School of Health and Social Care at Oxford Brookes. Wish me luck...
