Exam time. Uh-oh!

As I've already mentioned, I'm back into exam period. Definitely the most scariest moment of this year as it is when the majority of my exams are. So scary as the rest of my life/career will be influenced by these. I NEED GOOD GRADES. HA! 



Recently I have been so worried about choosing what is the right Uni for me, especially because its not long until I have to confirm my firm and insurance choices. So far, Nottingham Trent appears to be the favourite, which means Leeds Met - somewhere I really don't want to go - will have to take the role of my insurance. So majorly stressing and had a few rants about it all - it would help if my brain was a little bit bigger! ha.

But not so long ago, I was reminded that God has my future planned out and as long as I put all my trust in him, he'll guide me and lead me to where will be best for me.

Jeremiah 29:11
'"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."'

Sometimes it is difficult to see God's hand in everything we do, but it is such a comfort to know that I'm not alone in any of the decisions I make, but God is guiding me every step of the way! :)

Echo Park



Recently my brother has formed a band with three friends from uni called 'Echo Park'. They are a Liverpool/Manchester based band, who I'd definitely recommend you listen to! It may sound a little bais, but they are actually really good! :P



Or even better, they are playing on 23rd January at Bumper, in Liverpool. Follow the link for more details: http://goo.gl/RQhyd

2011 :)

WOW.

It has been a good while since i've blogged, and I can't imagine I will get that much done this month with the 5 exams I've got. But ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!


Most of the grandchildren on the annual christmas meet up :)

Having a gander through facebook and talking to people, everyone seems to be complaining about how rubbish 2010 was. Well, I'm the opposite. I've actually really enjoyed this past year and I have learnt a lot about myself and made some really great friendships. 

Some highlights from this year: Aberystwyth, V festival, roadtrip to Leicester, Chase & Status gig, Joshua Radin gig, trip back to Port Talbot, I turned 18 ... loads!

No doubt 2011 has a lot to look forward to though: sphere harnassing; Boyzone, Wombats and Take That gig; Aberystwyth; Malia with the girls; head off to University; new cousin on the way, Camp... and no doubt there is loads more. Definitely going to be a year worth remembering, but there will be some difficulties and rough patches such as exams, finishing sixthform and leaving all my friends, family and church, but I have big expectations this year...

Definitely going to make it a good one!
