Wow I haven't done a blog post in about a year! But I'm back now and hopefully I'm back for good. So I thought I would do a bit of an update about what's been going on in my life.
I have now finished university, which I still cannot believe! I graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Biomedical Science from Southampton University, which I'm so happy about. Third year was quite tough and stressful, which is probably the main reason why I stopped blogging. With all of my lectures and my laboratory research and exams and writing my dissertation I was very busy and stressed out all of the time, and the thought of blogging felt like a bit of a chore. I didn't feel motivated to do it because when I wasn't working I just wanted to do nothing.
But things have certainly changed since then! I now have a career! I am working in central London and I am involved in clinical trials. I've been there for about 6 weeks now and I am liking it so far. The people in the office are lovely and my work is very varied so no two days are the same, and being involved in cancer research makes me feel like I'm part of something important.
So since I've started my new job it feels like my life has changed quite a lot. Suddenly my free time really is MY free time. At university, my free time wasn't free. My mind was always occupied with work and revision that I needed to do. However, now, my work stays at work. And even though I like my job and I like time to relax and watch TV, I wanted something else in my life. Science and research are big interests of mine, but so are beauty and fashion and travel so I have decided to start up blogging again. Hopefully I can stick to doing it more regularly, I'm going to try!
