Books and Tolkien!

Books are one of the things in life that can bring you instant happiness, I say this as a book geek.

Through my eyes you can never have too many books-even if your room is overflowing with them. I love books and the escapism they can bring, you can travel on many journeys by reading books. For now, I am in Tolkien's land-not quite Mordor but almost...I'd say Isengard is closest to where the majority of characters are and even then that's not specific. Tolkien is a master of writing, his lands are so detailed. Imagine developing the land, from the Shire to Mordor and from Rohan to Isengard on top of producing the languages which are on display throughout the books-as you can probably tell I'm in awe of him!

Authors work so hard and very few manage to be noticed, but I thank all those authors who put in so much effort and give us stories to enjoy! I really don't know what I'd do without books...let's not even think about that...

1st year? No chance!

It's a funny feeling knowing that you've finished your first year of university and in September you will be one of the few people guiding the "newbies" around campus. I can't believe how quickly these past 9 months have passed and how many new people I have met.

During the past 9 months I have learnt more than I thought was physically possible...maybe starting to learn 2 new languages has something to do with that. I have loved the independence that university has given me although I know that at various points I have been close to tearing my hair out-thankfully it didn't come to that!

For the next few months I hope to be spending more time with my family and friends alongside working with children who have disabilities which I am very much looking forward to. I'm hopeful that having some time off uni will allow me to catch up with books, books and more books- I'll let you know what happens with that...I have hope! :)
