A new chapter; Uni Life!

I've made the big move!! We are now living up in Huddersfield and I started uni last Monday! It has been a whole rollercoaster of emotions the last couple of weeks and I'm glad to have got to where I am now and be moving forward. This whole journey started when two weeks ago today when I left my house in Cornwall. It was hard to say goodbye to everyone (Monty especially!) and Mum and myself were quite upset which I think has been the same story with everyone else that I have talked to about when they left. It was a good journey travelling in convoy in our little cars all packed up with everything we need for our flat. We arrived at my Grandparents house just the other side of Leeds (6 and a half hours after leaving home) and spent the night there so that the next morning we could travel over to our new flat and move in!  

The first week after we moved in we spent cleaning everywhere so that we felt comfortable and so that we knew it was clean (I have since developed a worry liking to cleaning and organising and do it ALL THE TIME). The day after we moved in we made the 20 minute drive over to Batley where we experienced IKEA for the first time. Lets just say that it was a very successful visit and is now our favourite shop! We got a "day bed" for the spare room, kitchen table and chairs, coffee table, side tables and of course I needed my own dressing table as I had left my other lovely one at home. So we then had the task of putting all the flat packed furniture together which was an interesting experience. Basically, after a lot of fiddling about and waiting for our own bed to arrive and our sofas we are finally all moved in and sorted with everything we need! Today was also a very long awaited day as our broadband box arrived allowing us to rejoin the world on the internet! 

It has been very nice having my grandparents just an hours drive away (a lot closer than ever before) and I have met some really nice people on my course and have a really nice tutor and course leader which has made settling in very easy. I have so far enjoy the start of the course and the task we have been assigned to do is something I feel excited to undertake! 

We are hoping to make a flying visit down to Cornwall either this weekend or next and just catch up and see family and make missing everyone a little bit easier.
