I'm Driving Home For Christmas!!

Hello my lovely bloggers, I am so sorry for the fact it has been over 2 months since my last post, I just lost track of things! First of all I want to wish you all Happy Holidays and then I want to wish you all a Happy New Year. The lyrics in my last post are from the Christmas song "Mistletoe and Wine" by Cliff Richards. Now this is most likely going to be a long blog as it will basically cover everything over my Christmas break, I will try and keep it as brief as possible however you don't have to read it all or any of it if you like, 

So a lot has happened since the last time I blogged, I went home for the holidays, I started my new job, I got to see Russell Howard live at the echo arena in Liverpool, I spent time with friend and family whilst at home and I come back to university for my 2nd term/semester.

So I think we will start off with Russell Howard. Whilst in my first year my friend and I found out that Russell was doing another tour and that he would be in Liverpool on 17th December 2014 and as we both love him we said that we should go when we can afford to book tickets. So when we started back in September and got out student loans in we waited until we paid the rent for our accommodation to see what we were left with and then we booked the tickets! The tickets arrived a week before the show and it was so exciting, it was the first time I had seen a comedian live. When the day of the show arrive, I was so excited and the whole show was just brilliant. He basically took the mick out of Liverpool and told stories of how he has made a fool out of himself and for anyone who loves Russell Howard we know how often that is! :) 

It finally got to Thursday of that week and I was due to go home on the Friday however I had a list as long as my arm of things to do within that one night, I still had to pack all my clothes, teddies, laptop, I had to complete the online training I needed to do for work, I had to finish wrapping presents as well as tidy my room, change my bedding, shower and to wash up any pots which were in my room (mostly cups and glasses from drinks). To say I was running round like a headless chicken would be an understatement; once I finally finished everything I got to sleep at about half 3/4am and had to be up at half 8 for class at 10am.

Finally it got to Friday and it was home time!!! My grandparents picked me up at uni once #i had finished my classes and we made our way back to the house so that we could collect my things and make the journey back home. Once everything was loaded into the car, we set off on the 2 and a half hour drive back home and by about 8pm I was back in Middlesbrough and my Christmas could finally start!!

So seeing how this was going to be an extremely long post I thought it would be better to split it into two parts soo this part is what I did in the few days before going back home and then next post will be about what I did when I was at home.
