Blogspot lovin'

Evening pals, hope you're all well!

I really shouldn't have set up a blog this close to my As exams because I have pretty much spent my whole evening on here so far trying to make my blog slightly prettier and easier to use! (Hoping that a few more of you may follow me - please!) I'm also going back to school at 7pm for a parents presentation all about university and UCAS; so doesn't look like I'm going to be getting any revision done tonight, oops!

Anyway I just wanted to share my success! (Remember I'm new to blogging) I finally worked out how to edit my blog, I've changed the colours so I'm more colourful now yay! My biggest achievement though was adding pages to my blog. Feel like such an idiot as so many blogs I've visited recently all have links at the top of the blog under the header but I couldn't for the life of me work out how to set this up! I almost posted a blog asking for help! I had a play around though and finally found it! So please make the most of my four beautiful new pages. Check out my Instagram and Twitter profiles and if you've got any questions or comments for me head over to that page as well!

Ran out of time to finish this post before heading back to school so the times above don't make too much sense! I've been and come back from the presentation and feel like I've been bombarded with information. One degree, in particular that they mentioned, was journalism! (so  I did bother to listen to this part) and they strongly encouraged me to start writing more. Not just for a personal blog but also for public communications; local charities, local newspapers, local magazine, anything really for a bit of work experience. So this is my next task - apply and keep my fingers crossed that at least someone will take me on, wish me luck!

Blogging Hype

Haha probably the cheesiest title I could've chosen for my blog but if you know me then you know I love a bit of sarcasm and cheesiness! 

It is also quite fitting because having only started my blog my last night I am still eager to get posting and writing about a load of rubbish!

So last nights post I gave you a brief intro to my blog but today I thought you don't really know much about me other than my name and age, and the whole journalism aspiration thing. So here goes for some random info about me!

Ok, so I live in Essex, England and have done for my whole life. I love my town and trust me its nothing like what you think if all you know of Essex is 'Towie', but one of my favourite things in life is travelling! I've been lucky enough to visit many places whilst growing up with my family but turning 18 and having my own freedom to travel the world (here comes the cheesiness again!) is something that I cannot wait for! Only a year and 35 days to wait haha. Looking back at photos I've taken whilst away just gets me so excited!

Another thing is that I have a dog, well my family do anyway. She's a Miniature Schnauzer and recently turned one. She's a bloody nutter but I love her to pieces! I know having a dog isn't exactly random but her name is! We've always had pets so when my cat passed away we started thinking about what next. My Dad however was totally anti getting a dog. Long story short we managed to persuade him but there was one condition - he got to name her...

So animal cruelty aside he chose the highly embarrassing, 'Esmerelda'. How ridiculous! If you saw a grey haired middle aged man over the park with a small fluffy dog calling out Esmerelda, admit it you would laugh! Hahaa yep that's my dad!

It's not all bad though, we call her Ezzie for short and she is the cutest thing ever. 

Haha some photographic evidence!

So that's about it for this post, I better crack on with some revision before I head out to my friends 17th birthday party. Have a nice evening
