First and foremost I want to apologise that I haven't posted anything since March. Things have been pretty hectic to be honest. So, here's a little update of what I've been up to:
I'VE COMPLETED THE FIRST YEAR OF MY MSC
Now, after completing my first year I can happily say that I 110% made the correct decision in applying for the course and doing it the way I have done. The course initially was meant to the three years long but I want to start a family sooner rather than later so I decided to pack it all into two years and thankfully the majority of it is over. I did pretty well, got a few Firsts and a couple of 2:1's so I've just got to press on and focus on my goals.
Next academic year I will only be studying for one module a semester and my dissertation (which I still haven't decided on the topic) so it should be much easier and I am now in a much better job in which I can be given study leave! Yipee!
I'VE GOT A NEW JOB
So that last sentence just gave away this next factor - yes, I've got a new job!

Some fantastic memories were made in the 20 months I was at DW and my experience in employment grew massively in that time but I feel as though I'd gotten as far as I could and it was time for a new chapter.....which is exactly what I've done!
MY OTHER HALF MOVED IN
Ahhh, this has been the best three months ever.
That being said, I wouldn't have the situation or him any other way. I love that I come home from work to him and that he comes home from work to me. Nights chilling on the sofa watching Netflix with all the sweets are now my favourite rather than us going out to the cinema or on a night out. He's my personal insect/spider catcher and the best rock that I could ask for (and he's a good egg with the housework....most of the time).
Now he has his man cave of a PC and pretty much a music studio set up, I can now hog the TV and blog away while he plays Rocket League or writes music!
I'VE STILL BEEN GOING TO ALL THE GIGS
Well, this was a given wasn't it?
So, who have I seen since March (and not written about, I'm sorry)? Here comes the list:
- We Are The Ocean
- Our Hollow, Our Home
- Parkway Drive
- Bury Tomorrow (X2)
- Underoath
- While She Sleeps
- Radio One's Big Weekend (feat. You Me At Six + Biffy Clyro)
- Slam Dunk North
- Download Festival
- Paramore
So yeah, I've been staying pretty damn busy and the reason I haven't been blogging about it all is honestly because I fell out of love with writing. I wanted to go to gigs and enjoy them without thinking about the pros and cons of the setlists and the performances but now I can happily say that I'm raring to go again.
WHAT NOW?
After much consideration I'm going to continue with The Adventures of Charlotte - I very nearly gave up completely. Instead of focusing on music and travel, I'm going to try and venture out further and become a bit more lifesyle-y in the hope that I don't fall out of love again.
So there it is - I'm open to working with brands so if you want to collaborate, you can find my contact details here.
I promise I won't leave it as long next time. Much love!
That photo of you and Gary is so cute! Welcome back to blogging my love xoxo
