i’ve finished college an sent my deposit for my room at uni halls,
so now i’m just waiting on summer to be over

only 67 days til the big day!

i’ve thought about this loads and i’ve changed my mind so often!
i want something optimistic that will always mean something to me
i think i’ve decided upon

‘there is always hope’

it’s not really lyrics, it’s from the title of the i was a cub scout album ‘i want you to know that there is always hope’

i really like it, it’s something that can’t lose it’s meaning, it will be relevant when i’m older and i’m assuming that it’s not going to be something that i will regret.

i read an article recently that stated the band chose this title because one of them is an optimist and the other is a pessimist, so there’s something in there for both of them.
i really like this, cause i can be a bit of both at times.

it’s just a really nice phrase that i’m sure i can live with :)

i’ve changed this slightly.
originally was planning france, but the plans might not go through.
if so, i’m going to make sure i travel SOMEWHERE in europe this summer.
just been doing some interenet research and you can get flights to austria, germany, belgium, holland etc for like 20 dollars (no idea what that is in english pounds but i’m fairly sure it’s cheap)
and there’s tons of backpacking hostels available four about 15 euros a night.
even if i just go away somewhere for a weekend i will be happy!
i just feel like i need to go somewhere new, and get it out of my system before i settle down at uni this year.
