Once again i've left it a ridiculous amount of time since i last blogged. I'm back at uni, after managing, probably miraculously, to pass all of my retakes. Now i have to try and pass the exams that i have in only 3 and 12 days, and this is even before all of the main exams in January.

University seems a different place this year, a completely new experience. My days seem to be filled with little simple pleasures; a coffee break between lectures with new made course friends, or a night in the lounge watching tv with the girls. On the fornightly occasion when i drag myself out in repeated outfits, i seem to be able to hold my drink a lot better. I've also found the next day's hangover seems a lot more bareable and contradictory of my former "natalie chundler" status in sixth form and last year. I'm only hoping this new, i dare say mature, attitude to living, where my asda shop proves as equal fun as clubbing in oceana, will pay off, leaving me finishing with a 2:2 this year.

I've been thinking more and more about what i'm going to do when i finish this degree, now only a year and a half away. Nursing seems to be the most enticing and reasonable idea for what i could do, and the fact that looking up courses at Southampton excites me makes me think i should aim in this direction. I suppose all i can do is try my hardest to leave my options open really. Should i remember or have the time to blog i'll keep you posted on this.
