On another trip home I made a fabulous discovery – my old diary collection.
I’ve been keeping diaries, on and off, since I was at school. I pretty much usually just keep writing one until it’s full, put it in a box, and start a new one. I had no idea how many I’d actually accumulated…!
And that’s not even all of them!

“I no longer want to be a teacher – Miss Goodship didn’t sound right anyway! I now want to be… a journalist! Magazine. Radio. Television. Top Gear!”
Funny that I’m now an event management student who is terrified of public speaking!

“11:15pm – I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! Can You believe it!
I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in! I got in!”
Think I was excited that I got into college?

“10:31pm – I have made a brill deal with mum. If I get an ‘A’ grade in any of my subjects (so either textiles, photography and/or geography) then I can get a hamster – but only if I tidy my bedroom as well.”
Not sure I ever got that A or the hamster.

“11:45pm – Watching Family Guy has inspired me to start my own cartoon. But instead of making it about a family, I’m going to make it about three friends who move into a flat together. It’s going to be awesome.”
😐 there are no words for this, haha.
21st July 2010
“11:09am – Am off to Swindon shopping in a sec. My foot and ankle is the size of a tree trunk!! I was bitten by a horse fly or something and I’ve swollen up. Big time!!
And I wanted to try on shoes today – ugh!!”
So that’s that!
I’ll probably be on another trip home soon, so I may have a rummage for my ‘memory box’ too – I feel all inspired!
Ta-ra
