Who am I?

"There are three things incredibly hard; steel, a diamond, and to know one's self."

So I thought I would give you a slight background on myself and what's happening in my life right now, before I start on this journey of (hopefully) self discovery. I am currently 18, nearly 19. I have finished college and I did relatively well in my exams, although not as well as I had hoped. I studied languages; Spanish and German, and Biology for some odd reason.

This year I went on a skiing holiday with my aunt and uncle to Zell am See, Austria. While there I decided that I didn't actually want to go to university this year at all because I'm sick of the structure and the constant education and the hard work that comes with it. So now I'm taking a gap year and I'm doing a ski course in Austria to become a Ski Instructor for the season. All of which I am funding mostly myself.

At the moment I am working full time in a fast food restaurant (I won't tell you which one). I'm not ashamed of this at all and it has actually helped me a little towards my goal for this gap year. I save every penny I earn and even still it is going to be a very tight purse that comes with me to Austria!

I live with my parents who I'm sure I will mention again, and I have a sister who is 20 and in university in Wales at the moment. There's not really much else to say as of yet, although I'm sure I will be wanting to moan about work soon seeing as I have an extremely hard week of shifts coming up... So yeah. That's me. For now.

Yours,
