I've been neglecting my blog again... *hangs head in shame*

Anyway, what have I been up to?

I've been doing a bit of volunteer work, well one bit of volunteer work, letting old people paint my face for practice. I enjoyed it quite a lot. I was thinking of doing some volunteer work with older people because I like working with them and I want to do something regularly.

I also went to a goodbye party and got very drunk and made a fool of myself, but it was all pretty fun :-).

I'm moving house on saturday which will be very sad. I have so many memories of my time where I live now, it's going to be difficult to leave it all behind. Also working at Morrisons is going okay.

I've met some cool people in Leeds this summer and I think I will probably make some new friends this summer :-)

*feels hopeful for the future*

Anyway, today I am just going to be pottering about a bit so that should be nice.

Aurevoir for now!

Well, last week I went bowling/drinking and had a great time. I said goodbye to some people. I went out in Leeds with some other people a couple of weeks ago (the night I reffered to in my last post) and said goodbye to more people.
Last night I went to another goodbye party which I really enjoyed.

I am saying too many goodbyes for my liking at the moment.
I am really worn out from all of these goodbyes. Today I was just crying for about half an hour, just at the thought of what is happening at the moment.

Tomorrow I am meeting my friend and then I'm working the whole weekend so I will at least be able to distract myself from thinking about all this. It doesn't help that I have lots of free time on my own so it makes it easier to obsess over these things.
I'm looking for some volunteer work to do now so fingers crossed.
I will be back.

As I've mentioned before a load of people I know are leaving Leeds this month. I went over someone's flat last night to say goodbye and I just cried my eyes out. We were all just sitting round the table laughing about something and I realised that this would never come again, being together like this. I felt pretty upset and all so I called my brother after I'd left and he dropped in and we had a little drive down the road and I just cried and cried. I told him that lots of people I know are leaving. He agreed with me that it was absolutley rubbish and that sometimes life was difficult like this.
He said that next year was going to be really good as well and I'd meet loads of new people. I felt a bit cheered up after that but I still think I'm going to feel a bit funny for the next couple of weeks because even more people are leaving.

I'm going to a goodbye party and a barbeque next week which should also prove to be quite emotional.

Work seems like it's going to be okay. I'm on the checkouts :-))

We all have these trivial lives and these trivial concerns. People only know each other half the time because they share the same bit of space or work together or something. And then people just seem to go their seperate ways, which can be a good thing, because everyone has got to move on eventually. It's really sad though this end of uni, it means I loose a lot of the people I know and won't see a lot of them again.

I think it is shocking how people forget about each other though when they move to a new place/start a new life. My parents have old friends who don't live far away and yet they rarely see them- at Christmas they pop round for a visit anyway.

I don't want to get like this with my family, especially not with my brother, but I don't think I will. I have started to feel like I neglect my family sometimes. Because I like being down here I have a tendency to just forget about family sometimes and not see people for ages. So I have decided to make more of an effort this summer and see my family a lot. I should also see my Grandad a lot because he is getting old and one day I'll regret it if I don't spend time with him.

Anyway :-))
