So, I am finally going to be converting from Blackberry to iPhone…4S!! And I can’t friggin wait! I am beyond excitement!!

Don’t get me wrong, I love my berry, it has done many fantastic things for me, and I will be so sad to be detached from its side, but I think it is time I owned an iPhone, don’t you? Many people have asked which one I am getting, black or white, and I have to say, I still prefer the black one…its original, and I have a black iPad, so it will match, I guess. I do like the white one, but just not as much as the black beauty!

I will be going with mum tomorrow to get it, and she is gonna have to keep me calm! I have been watching loads of review videos, and … well, just so excited like I said.

Anyway, I really must get some work done today, as no doubt I will not get any done tomorrow!!

See ya later!

Before sitting down and explaining my big plans, I had to go out for a walk and gather my thoughts as to how I was going to approach the discussion (I am building it up aren’t I?!). After clearing the shite from the good, I had a plan of how I was going to show how passionate and adamant I was. This picture above, looking at my house in the distance, made me stop and realise how much I am going to miss this place. It also represents me as an outsider, looking over to the house where the rest of my family reside, and me, well, living somewhere else. When I went home, I sat down in the kitchen, after pouring a big glass of chilled Chablis (and one for the Mother and Father too), I explained to them that this was a massive decision to make, and one that is going to require the support and expertise of parents. By this point, I could tell dad was worried, and mum was concerned I was going to say, “Im gonna be a Dad!”…however, I ploughed on, and spluttered it all out. Once, I looked up from the table, after staring at it while talking for the past 10 minutes, trying to justify my plans, I could see them both smiling at me, and a warm glow came across which told me they would be there for me, Dad; “I believe in you, and if this is what you want to do, then go and do it”, Mum; “This has always been a dream of yours, so go and do it while you’re young and get all the experience you need”, Both; “We will support you one hundred percent”. How lovely!

So from this, i guess you can tell that I won’t be seeing my family home, or my family much for that matter, in the future. That’s right, I am planning to move away…

…TO LONDON BABY!!

It is still really early days, but I have started the huge monumental ball rolling by contacting the place for which I would love to (and have aspired for many years) to work…Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. As many of you know, I am a children’s nurse, well, ready to qualify in March next year (5 months away!), and so I will need to find a place to live and a job to pay for it, and all the Starbuck that will be consumed! I have made other plans, that have just always fizzled out, or got forgotten about and never pursued but this one, I am extremely determined to make a reality, and very soon too! To work at GOSH would mean the absolute world to me, as I will be brought into contact with the most amazing children and families, having to adapt their lives to living with some of the most severe illnesses, diseases and conditions known. Working with such families, will enable me to gain an insight into these extraordinary attitudes and personalities which are necessary in order to make life a little more endurable. It would just be so rewarding and … amazing.

Things that I have to plan and consider:

• The date that I am free to work from…after my graduation ball on the 16th March 2012
• Getting down there from here! maybe my family will help me with that…?
• Start date of the job I want…and if they will be lenient with me starting earlier or latter
• Getting in nursing accommodation, as it is cheap, and I will be living with people who I work with, so will gain closer friends (hopefully)
• …how long the contract runs…

I could go on, but the rest are minor issues that will hopefully iron out once there. As you can maybe tell, I am MAJORLY excited at this move…however, there is one more absolute bonus to make sure I achieve this plan…my wonderful boyfriend Andrea (Italian male name as in Andrea Bocelli) will be moving over from Italy to start university in July. I CANNOT WAIT!

So, that is all for now guys, I’ll keep you updated on any progress

Ciao for now!

A small problem I encountered a while ago teaching Welsh to some friends, was soft mutation. I said “Ti eisiau coffi, neu de?” My friends thought I was asking “you want coffee, or south?” … and thought it was a Welsh saying…whereas I was asking if she wanted coffee, or tea…tea in welsh is ‘Te’, but after the word ‘neu’ it turns with soft mutation, to ‘de’…which is also the word for south. But in this instance, you would know that if I was saying “or south” it would be “neu dde”, as d > dd.

So, check out these videos, so you don’t get caught out too!!

So, I have not made a blog for a long time now, considering I did one everyday. Just thought I would drop by to tell you that I am still here, and will still be blogging, but at the moment, as I have started back at uni, I am trying to complete a few bits first. However, strangely, I have found time to make new videos on my YouTube page, go and check them out if you’re interested…

I am also planning my future at the moment too, so I will be doing a blog about that, shortly, when I have some more solid plans and details
Ciao for now guys!!
