Seeing as I no longer live in France, the old blog isn't really relevant anymore. I'm glad I kept it because I guess it'll be nice to look back on life there, and journals that are written just for yourself can get a bit too introspective. Anyway I didn't think I'd keep going with this but I'm getting to like it. In a classic Children's-television-presenter way I will now sum up for you what this blog will contain.
Coming up in today's show we have:
- Emma moves to Trinidad for two months somewhat against her better judgement
- Emma realises she knows nothing about soca music by embarrassingly not knowing who a super famous soca singer is while interviewing them
- Emma gets homesick while in Trinidad but pushes through with the help of the Ochil girls, safe in the knowledge that being homesick in Trinidad is better than being Glasgowsick in Wales
- Emma begins third year, keen for knowledge and determined to get a first
- Mid-way through October, Emma becomes nostalgic for her magical year abroad, having totally forgotten that although there's a whole bunch of stuff to do in Paris, there are too many thieves for it to actually be a nice place to live. During this time, Emma's grades slip as she thinks she might just leave university and run away to Paris to live a Hemingway-esque lifestyle of borrowing books from Shakespeare & Co. and drinking in cafés where the waiters know her name. BECAUSE THAT IS TOTALLY WHAT PARIS IS LIKE.
These are obviously things that have not happened yet and probably (hopefully) will not happen. Apart from the first one, that is basically definitely happening and I'm scared. I might do a summary of what I've been doing since I left France before I properly get started on talking about MY SUPER EXCITING LIFE. I might not. Who knows. Maybe I do and I'm just trying to keep you guessing. I'm so fucking whimsical, sometimes I charm myself.
I promise I will never refer to myself in the third person again, and that following blog posts will be more coherent.
