Surprisingly, I'm okay.

I feel like I've neglected this blog, and I feel a little bad for it. I'd like to get back into the habit of regularly updating, if only to give myself something productive to do.

I've hit a really important part of my life, now. I'm in Sweden for a few more weeks, then I'm going back to Dorset, but I'm moving into a flat with my life partner just weeks later, and starting University in two months. This feels like such an amazing thing. Holy shit, adult stuff.

We've packed up the bedroom, mostly, sorted through everything and realised that between us, I am the one with most possessions, but far. I need to remedy that when I get home. I've enlisted the help of a friend who's a pro and just clearing stuff out.

Admittedly, it's different for me. I can leave stuff and just come back on the train, without hopping countries, but it's still a good idea to see what crap I own, and getting rid of it.

Sweden, as ever, is treating me wonderfully. I've spent two days now on the balcony doing my own thing while Moony's at work, and it's nice. As much as we love being together, it's nice to get used to not having that. There's a lot to look forward to, with two good friends already planning to visit as soon as we're settled, and while I sometimes get a little freaked out that there's so much riding on my grades, I know I can't do anything about them right now. I'll find out how I did in 12 days. And they usually take you on anyway, right? They seemed interested in getting me involved. Worse case, I've got Bournemouth. And if we get a long term flat in Brighton but I don't make it, that's fine. I can commute that. It's only like, three hours there and two hours back. Sure. And not too expensive. I don't know, I won't fuss about that yet.

Personally? I think I'm doing good. I'm happy here. I like knowing I'm making a physical positive difference to somebody's life, and being in a safe environment is so good for my mental health. I've barely had a bad day here since I arrived, as apposed to very often in my parent's home.

It's exciting. I love it. I hope it all goes as well as we're hoping. We deserve this break. I've done all I can for applying for flats, we'll decide as soon as we can. I can actually just relax, marathon tv shows I've been meaning to get around to for ages, and have fun.

I want this to go well, so badly.
