01. introduction

I got the idea of doing a blog from my friend Natalie (www.ichbinclamp.blogspot.com) as a way of giving yourself a break from revision/work , and just being able to write down anything and everything that makes you you :)
So... here goes:

Who am I?
My name's Tara and I recently turned 18 (although I didn't have a party or anything, as I was in Switzerland at the time), and prior to the holidays beginning I was a year 13 student at Ashby sixth form (I studied geography, french and maths). This September, I will officially become a fresher at Aberystwyth University, studying geography, something that I'm both excited and nervous about.

My Blog
Apart from the reasons above that persuaded me to start a blog, I felt that as I was starting a new chapter in the book of my life, a blog would be a good way of keeping track of all the events (both good and bad) that might happen whilst I'm away, and also, it'll keep people back home in Derbyshire updated of what's happening in my life. It probably won't be about one specific topic, I don't think I really have one specific passion I could write about, so this will probably just be a mixture of events, and general randomness :)

I also just want to apologise to Natalie, as this first post is similar to her first post, but I'm hopeless at planning things out, and knowing how to start something off, whereas she isn't :) Hopefully, as more posts keep appearing, they'll reflect me, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're fairly random.

Over and out
