I think I'm probably going to end up blogging a lot this summer, just to keep myself sane. Exams ends on May 31st and I finished Birmingham Project about 3 weeks after. Since then I've just been coasting really. Meeting up with old friends, sending messages to no one in particular about nothing much.
Whenever I have down time I try to catch up on all the reading, podcasts, series, and duolingo I haven't had time to keep up with. I finally read the Catcher In the Rye, got that squarely ticked off. And I've been running a lot. My Birmingham Project was on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and involved a fair amount of exercise. Two jogs of ~30 minutes a day. I've cut down since it finished but I am still trying to get one a day. I'm doing 6 a week.
I got a job as well, just a McDonalds Crewposition, zero hours, nnothing fancy. That's why I'm blogging, I've been stuck in this bus station in Leeds for almost an hour waiting for my Megabus to arrive. My fault, I bused in too early.
It dawned on my, I'm there for two days but as starter shifts I'm doing only 10 hours in total. That's ~£50. My total transport is ~£20 so that's not much. Still, I'm mostly here because if I wasn't I'd feel too much like I'm mooching off my parents. This way I can at least pretend I'm not. Plus I can catch up on any podcasts I've yet to hear.
I'm pretty sure that after I've paid food, bills, and rent I'll be down so I hope this makes sense in the long run.
Still, I'll have to see. I'll be blogging a lot most likely so if you're a fan of off the cuff phone blogs, they'll be a few.
Hope you're well,
~John
