A Chatty Post: Finishing 1st Year of University & Going Away For the Summer

So it's not often that I sit down and write a post about my actual life. It's all about beauty and fashion but I did say from the outset that I wanted this little space on the internet to be about my life and everything that comes with it. Of course I purposely have my blog beauty and fashion orientated because those things really interest me but there are also other parts of my life that make up a huge part of me that I want to share with you every now and again.

Firstly, the subject of finishing my first year of university - how the hell did this happen!? Is what I ask myself everyday since my official last day. Many of you know - those who know me personally - that it took me a while to get into university in the first place so to be finished first year is a huge deal for me. I'm so happy that I've come this far and finally feel like I'm on my way to something. Just to recap I'm doing a General Nursing Degree and I've loved every minute of it (except maybe sociology and late night cramming for exams). I feel so lucky to have gotten into such a high demand course and am so excited to begin second year in September. I did do a little "Clinical Placement Update" about two months ago that I was supposed to keep up for the 5 weeks I had out in the hospital but at that time I was so busy with work and placement that that segment unfortunately fell behind. But if you are interested in how my first week out on the wards in a general hospital went then you can check that out here - http://www.lovekensey.blogspot.ie/2014/03/surviving-1st-week-of-nursing-placement.html

Although I'm excited to move forward with my degree I am also extremely excited about the gap in between - this Summer. If you read my blog you have to know by now that I'm going to California for the Summer with a few of my best friends and even the thought gives me butterflies! I've never been to West Coast of America so it should be such an adventure. It has been a whirlwind this past week trying to pack - I'm heading off on Sunday. To many it may seem like such a short amount of time but to me it's the first time I've been away from home for this long and of course I'm worried about being homesick. I'm cramming in all the time I can with my nearest and dearest this week as well as finishing up my last few shifts in work. We do plan to work over in California to fund our adventures so hopefully we can find Summer jobs and all will be well. I've learned over the past year to just go with the flow and not worry about things too much which is helping me be more relaxed about the fact that we do not have jobs or a permanent place to live over there yet. I'm confident it will all come together.

I just wanted to update my blog about what I'm doing over the next while and keep anyone who's interested keyed in. I'm not sure how this move will affect my blogging/youtube but I know that it will. I can't be sure when I will have internet access or time to do my usual posts and videos but overall I plan to keep on going and it will be a new, fun setting for all of you to watch/read about.

Love, Kensey
