Dear June...

Where the heck did you come from?! Time really does fly! I keeping my fingers tightly crossed that you bring some long stretches of sunshine with you. I'm not one for hot weather, but after weeks and weeks of endless rain I'm certainly willing to cope with some humid nights in return for some blue skies and sunny days. I'm envisioning warm afternoons outside in the garden, reading a good book with a glass of cold lemonade in hand. The reality of that will probably mean an attack of bees too but I'll ignore that!

My first few weeks of being 25 have actually been incredibly salubrious. This is definitely the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I've been starting to have a good sift through a lot of my belongings and parting with some things that don't reflect me as well as they used to has been eminently cathartic. On my list for this month is my wardrobe, mostly my excessive belt collection and ten million floral dresses. I don't think I've worn a floral dress or a belt in well over a year so it seems odd to keep hold of so many. They remind me of my late teens, which is why I think I've been so unwilling to part with them until now. But I think it's time.

There are currently a ridiculous amount of books heading my way that I'm going to make my way through before next term starts. One of my favourite things about University is the ridiculously long reading lists they give me. It means I can buy books without any of the guilt. The ultimate excuse for book buying is education. Thankfully I'm also looking forward to reading all of them. The feeling of having to read something you're just not that interested in isn't a good one and I've definitely had my fair share of those before, but I think I've finally mastered the art of successful module choosing.

Lets go, June! I sure hope you're a good one!
