Hey Guys,
Sorry it has been ages since I posted. I initially wanted to post something every day. However I have had some distractions and apart from that I haven't been up to much.
You will be pleased to know that I have picked up a courses guide from my local college to see if they do Danish courses. So far I haven't opened it, but I have found a nice place for it in my surprisingly tidy room. The cooking thing may be on a standstill for the moment as people in our church are very kindly providing food for us. Also mum has decided to totally give in to all her food cravings, that naturally means that due to all the junk food around the house I have eaten my body weight in it.
One thing I have realised over all this time is that pushing a wheelchair is so much harder than it looks! On my first ever outing I had to get three separate people to help me up and down curbs. Safe to say mum was holding on for dear life. I am pleased to say that I have now become a natural. Though today I almost through her out when I didn't see a bump in the road (I couldn't stop laughing it was awful) and I still groan when I have to push more than my body weight up steep curbs.
The craziest thing happened today. I was being stroppy and miserable all morning because I was tiered and mum may have been being slightly demanding. Anyway, on my way to the fourth pharmacy for the day (no joke) I saw someone running and for some crazy reason I had this sudden urge to go for a run. This obviously shows that I am being slowly pushed over the edge. Anyway, I did go for a run and then did some more exercise afterwards. I am so proud of myself. I actually think that doing some regular exercise will be my third goal of the year.
I'll try and write sooner next time

body clocks
Hey guys,
I would love to tell you all that I haven't been writing for the past few days because I have been productive trying to complete all my goals. However I have simply been messing up my body clock.
So let's face it New Year's Eve wasn't a good sleep and then I managed to stay up even later from a party two days later. The lack of sleep was defiantly worth it however last night I managed to sleep from 2:30 am to 4:45 am! That was it!
So due to my inability to sleep (which is rather annoying as I am usually really good at sleeping) I decided to play the angel child card this morning and offer to take Lilli to the Airport. Lilli is all grown up and leaving me to go and live in Madrid. I offered to go in the hope that the whole ordeal would make me tiered enough to get some sleep. However, my mum thought i was being a lovely daughter and has now given me an unlimited oyster card! So I won't be draining my bank balance on wildly expensive London travel.
The feeling of pure satisfaction from being on the tube in morning rush our knowing everyone was going to work and I was only going back to bed was worth the whole thing.
It does scare me a bit that people aren't even back at uni yet and I am already able to write a whole post musing about my sleeping habits :)

Hi Guys,
I decided to take a year off from life right in the middle of my final year of uni. I am still slightly debating with myself if this was a good idea, especially as my main accomplishment for this whole week has been to do laundry and get through too many seasons of Gilmore Girls and Sex and the City.
I had all these great ideas of all the great things I was going to do with my year off such as travel, do internships and spend as much quality time as possible with my mum. Over the last few weeks I have realised that the first two of these will be impossible due to mum's condition. So in an attempt to not let my mind go to mush as I sit on the sofa for a whole year I have decided to write this blog to document what I do manage to accomplish this year.
So far my goals for the year include:
1. Learn another language (Danish) ((for me this needs a lot of time to accomplish))
2. Actually learn to cook more than my 5 signature dishes (thanks Bex)
So thanks to Holly (I forgot what you wanted me to write) I have decided to document how these goals pan out and any other bizarre things I decide to do. Enjoy
(I had to copy paste this whole thing to word to spell check it. What effort!)
