Let's Kick Things off Again

So I told myself I would keep up my blog last year and of course, that never happened... I suppose I get too busy to keep up to date but I'm promising myself I will try harder this time. So I'm making a comeback and I will keep this blog updated with everything old and new... including whatever has been missed out over the past year or so because trust me, a lot has happened!!

I'm currently back at university, in my final year, preparing for my first set of exams of the year which start on the 11th January! I cannot believe how fast time has gone... I honestly remember unpacking on my first day of first year, crying because I had no idea how I was going to cope away from home! I absolutely love it now and I am so glad I didn't let anything stop me from coming to university because it has opened up so many doors for me! In summer of 2015 I got to sit on a plane for the first ever time and visit India (more on that in a separate blog) but I know for sure I would never have been able to do that without being at university and without the help of my scholarships and bursary!!

2015 was probably the best year of my life so far but in some respects it was a really really tough year. My mum was ill and had to have surgery over the summer but that wasn't the end (or even the start) of the trauma she went through. She had been suffering for 6 months prior to that (so literally this time last year was when it all started) and the doctors were hugely negligent because they failed to realise what she was going through. A lot of the time they didn't even listen to her when she was trying to tell them house much pain she was in. Anyway, in the end they told her she had a cyst on her ovary and after she had her surgery they told her that they removed a cyst the size of a FOOTBALL! I couldn't understand how they didn't realise that there was something so hugely wrong. Unfortunately, the period of recovery was longer than the usual 6 weeks because of, yet again, more negligence. The nurses who were dressing the wound weren't using the correct dressing and my mum was still constantly in pain. She ended up back in hospital with an infection and just when things started getting better again they got worse. Her stomach area had hardened with yet another infection and the nurse was really rude to my mum, causing my mum to feel really emotionally stressed out. The medication my mum was taking was the strongest her doctor had ever prescribed and she began to feel really depressed because of the medication and the fact that she couldn't do anything for her family. Fortunately now, after realising the nurses were not packing the wound, leaving it open to infection, she is only a few weeks (or less) away from being fully healed, and she''s now back to her normal self. For us as her family it was so difficult to see her going through that, a lot of the time I felt quite helpless but I knew that what she was feeling was a hundred times worse.

It is quite odd talking about this because I think it's the first time ever that I have opened up about it, I'm just glad things are looking up now!

Revision is horrendous and I'm feeling so stressed out about my exams but in some sense I am looking forward to them because I do enjoy the topics (Intellectual property and Company Law) so I hope I can pull through with some good grades! I've also started taking driving lessons (more on that later) and I can't wait to get a car and never have to catch a train again!!

Anyway I think that's enough to restart my blogging and I will try and get more blogs up more regularly. Good luck to every single should doing exams/coursework. Feel free to leave comments/request things!!

All Love xoxo
