Since I finished my exams in June (AND FLIPPIN' PASSED) I've had a spare bit of time kicking around. Obviously I'm still at work and still have many, many things to do to keep an eight year old entertained (top parent tip: dont go rollerblading no matter how bored your kids are) but for the most part I dont have any large amount of uni work and crippling anxiety of impending exams to keep me busy (because I passed).
My two October modules have been confirmed (because I passed my exam) but until they start theres a big ol' stressful hole in my evenings.
I figured as a politics student the best way to fill this would be to get off my lazy butt and go be the change and other such cliches. Being a massive hippy and already a Green Party member they seemed like as good a place as any to start so I've devoted a bit of my summer to trying bottle my anxiety up enough to actually be able to have some kind of input and to be honest it's been excellent.
I'd met some of the local Green folks on the bus to the End Austerity Now demo in London in June and helpfully they were all pretty much how I expected Green supporters to be (lovely, welcoming, chilled out folks).
I've previously been to a People's Assembly planning meeting and while I think they do amazing work the atmosphere and general organisational structure of them is definitely not for me so I was a bit nervous about sticking my blue headed, conspicuous head around a door to a meeting.
Thankfully it all went better than could be expected and has been a real eye opener of how much work goes on behind the scenes of these things.
I intended to just spend a few months doing what I can before uni comes back around but
Now back to the point of this whole tangent: the blog.
Obviously I have a few different blogs but to be honest this one get's used pretty regularly and is the only one linked to my real life social media accounts so I tend to class it as my main personal blog.
It's been predominantly focused on me dragging myself kicking and screaming towards my degree but now that I'm going into what should be my final year (I passed my exams for this year, did I mention that?) I'm feeling a bit more chilled about the whole thing and less like I need to vent about it to strangers online.
So with that being said I think I'm going to start using this as more of a blog blog if that makes sense.
Think rants that are too long for Twitter and too furious for Facebook.
And if you still read this thing after that then gosh effing bless you.
P.s.
I think I forgot to mention it but I passed my exams.
Just incase anyone was wondering.
