I'm falling in love
I'm falling in love, and I am not putting my hands out as I have no intentions of stopping myself.

I'm just here to say
I am so over the moon right now, I've met a girl and she is perfect. She looks amazing, and speaking to her I've realised that we have so much in common. It's like she's the female version of me. I think she's perfect and I can't stop thinking about her right now. I just hope that things go well between us, and then who knows what it could bring. With this, and the sunny weather we're getting, I'm so happy! :)

I am so happy right now!
With all of my friends going onto university this summer, it kinda got me on a little bit of a downer, everyone studies these great things, and I'm just an engineering apprentice. But I've always stuck to a quote in life: 'whatever you are, be a good one'. This got me thinking, the possibilities in engineering are endless. I mean, the world would not be like this without it, we wouldn't be able to travel, we wouldn't have advanced buildings and no technology. And seeing as I'm coming up to the final couple of months of my apprenticeship, I feel it's time I opened my horizons and looked to the future. And this is why I've signed up to study a foundation degree in engineering and manufacturing, lasting another 3 years. Then to complete a degree I will need to complete an extra year afterwards and the same for honours. It means I'll finish studying at 25 but this doesn't bother me as it'll be such a great achievement. Then, depending on how it goes I'll probably for a masters and apply to become a chartered engineer, and even get letters behind my name, this is awesome! Who knows, I might even become a Dr if I feel like it! Then with my qualifications I'm hoping to move on up, I've currently narrowed my career choices down to three: Design Engineer, Engineering Manager or lecturer.
On top of this great news I'm happy that at the end of July I will be a time served engineer and go onto full rates! Kerching! This means that I will finally be able to afford another car and do what I love the most!
And today, just to top it all off I'm purchasing my Leeds Festival ticket (even though I promised myself no festivals this year)! This will be a great way to end the summer with a bang, and to see my closest friends off with a smile.
So am I happy right now? Pretty much.

This is not a cliché
Friends. Everyone has them, everyone loves them. But does everyone ever take the time to step back and truly appreciate them? I know I do.
The reason that I am saying this is that in September 2009 I met a girl. By October we were in a relationship and I lost contact with my friends, concentrating more on my relationship. Since then these friends have moved on to various universities around the country and I soon had no friends left at home, but I felt alright because I still had my girlfriend. During the relationship I met a lot of new people, mostly through my girlfriend and we spoke occasionally, but they all seemed to be 'just my girlfriend's friends'.
The first time that I realised how good that these friends actually were was when my girlfriend moved away to Liverpool for university and we went through a rough time. During this there was a short separation, and it was these friends that were there for me, helped me pull through, and helped to keep my head together. They helped to keep me occupied close to home, and for this I was very grateful.
Only a couple of weeks later and the relationship was back on track, and I became too occupied with travelling to and from Liverpool and working to keep in touch, which I kinda regretted.
Further down the line I found myself amidst a break up, I stayed strong on the outside, but inside it was hard. This was about two months ago, and I genuinely thought that that was it, I had no friends left at all. After a couple of weeks I decided to pick myself up and I headed up town for the night to see if I could run into any old friends, and that's just what I did. It was the same friends that were there for me before, the people that I would never have met if it wasn't for my girlfriend, and the people that are there for me even after losing contact.
These people probably won't see this, and if they did they would probably just pick on me for it. They probably think that they're just average friends, but they are not. They mean a hell of a lot to me and I cannot thank them enough, I would probably be clinically insane without them. I seriously could not ask for better friends, I love them all.
