22

^^super sophisticated almost 22 year old young woman up there^^

Doesn’t twenty-two sound so much older than twenty-one? It doesn’t quite feel it…but I haven’t sunk into it all yet. I feel like twenty-two will be a good year. It will be the year I finish college. The year I witness (and ‘bridesmaid’…if you can use that word as a verb) my big sister get married, the year I organise a hen party, produce a degree show, write a thesis, read a LOT, work my bum off, stay in love, do some sweaty-ass yoga, and hopefully make some big and exciting decisions.
I feel like 22 will be the year that I really get to sink my teeth into more things that I want to do and less things that I have to do because of such and such or so and so.

This year was a lot more low key than last year’s celebrations but I still had the loveliest birthday with all of my favourite people who chose the most perfect presents* ever. Thank you ALL!

Expect more detailed posts and photographs and all that jazz sometime in the vague future.

Independence

Did I tell you guys that I’m learning to drive? No? Oh right, well I am. I’ve had three lessons so far and after a totally weird (i.e creepy strange instructor) I am getting off to a great start. It’s totally frustrating but also very exciting. I can’t wait to just able to do it already... especially as my boyfriend just bought an AMAZING new (old) car. There’s been plenty of stalling and stopping and starting but I am getting better (I hope!) and I’m trying not be too hard on myself. Everyone keeps reminding me that it is a learning process and I just have to be patient and to not be such a perfectionist right at the beginning.

Now let’s have a look at some lovely cars, shall we?

One, Two, Three

PS. My dad used to have one of these Morris Minor pick ups. It was literally amazing (and looked a whole lot better than the one in the link), even at 5 years old I knew that. It was scrapped years ago but I still have the black number plate above the mirror in my room. 

PPS. I think it is equally awful and incredible that that mini has been sawed in half and hung up in someone’s KITCHEN. Holy crap.
