flowersinmyhair's gap year 🌺🌻🏵️🌼

It requires me organising myself enough to write down a to-do list lol

I finally actually have a theory test booked now, but it isn't for over two months because of the DVSA's incompetence. It does mean for now I can focus on getting a job, TSR stuff and writing my personal statement.

I really need to actually plan out my time so I can make the most of it, while I have it. The whole idea of doing that seems a bit overwhelming because I have very few things with fixed times.

I have another job interview coming up which is exciting. I'm not going to say any more about it now though.
I did some St John Ambulance training this morning which was useful, I'm hoping I will get to go out on more events soon.
I have started writing my personal statement, it is so hard to get over the awkwardness of talking about myself in the way that you need to in it. It is weird it being in three sections now, but I guess it makes it easier to structure.

It has been a little while since I updated this
Not much has happened to be fair as both events I was supposed to go to with St John Ambulance were cancelled (one was weather related, the other haven't a clue). I should be doing something soon though which is exciting!
I went to an open day and I really liked the university. I'm hoping I will go there as my top choice but it is a really selective course due to how low they keep student numbers. I feel I will do better in an environment with more one-to-one support. I have another coming up and I will keep an open mind, but they will have a very hard time matching the other university.
I've applied to more jobs, not heard back from more jobs. I'm carrying on with driving lessons, I have my theory test next month.
I'm going to see one of my favourite artists next month (as a birthday present!) and I am so excited! I saw her live when I was 8 at Latitude, but this is the first time I'm seeing her since I got more into her music.
Things are quite boring most of the time, and I am feeling quite left behind because everyone I know is off at uni and I can't even go to my local town without my parents driving me

I went to another open day (nearly a month ago now, man I should really update this more) and it has thrown some doubt on which university I should go to. There is just so much that I need to consider when I make a decision. That starts with actually submitting my application.
I have almost finished the first draft of my personal statement! Everything about it makes me cringe, but I know it can't be as bad as I think it is. It should be done soon (she says).
I saw Anna Calvi live last weekend and she was absolutely incredible! It was her first non-festival show since the pandemic which is wild. It was a present for my 20th birthday next month, I really enjoyed it.
It is two weeks until my driving theory test, which is kind of nerve wracking but it should be okay. I do need to practise though...
I will try to not abandon this for a month again

Best of luck with everything!

I'm back again, only abandoned this for a week this time. My life isn't particularly interesting and I have been kind of busy.

I submitted my UCAS application this afternoon, so now I am nervously waiting to here if I will get interviews for my choices. I am not sharing where I am applying, will keep it a mystery

Just need to work on driving theory now as my test is next week, hopefully it will go better than last time (hopefully will actually sit it!)
