I passed!!!

Just a quick post to say that I incredibly passed my driving test first time this week! After way way way too many lessons (spanning over 3 years, 3 teachers, 2 countries) I finally got around to taking my test after having some intensive lessons from the wonderful teacher, Sherif. I did have a major meltdown about ten minutes before my test (tears and wailing were involved) but managed to pull myself together for the test in which I only got 1 (out of a possible 15) minor mistake - beating my boyfriend and brother with 2, ha! 

I'm so, so happy and proud of myself for setting this goal and finally succeeding in it - if you have your test, remember confidence is key. After a wobbly start, my examiner was luckily very nice and made me feel really comfortable, so I settled in easily. I don't think I've ever been so happy to pass anything before! 

Watch out on the roads - I can finally join everyone else and zoom around the streets of London (in the distant future, when I can actually afford a car!) 

If you are looking for a driving teacher in London, I really can't recommend Sherif enough. Find him here. 

June

Can you believe it is finally June?! I am sooo happy it is finally here, fingers crossed the sun comes out a bit more in London! Not that it really matters, because I am off to Cyprus in a week and the sun is definitely out there :)

Goals

1. No Chocolate

I have fallen off the diet wagon for the last week and a new month which also happens to be bikini month is a great time to get back on (and stay on!). It is important when you have (massive uncontrollable chocolate fuelled) relapses that you just draw a line under it as quickly as possibe, and make better choices next time. I am going to try and give up chocolate again completely - I managed to once, it is just so addictive! I used to smoke for 5 years and giving that up was far easier than giving up chocolate (best decision I have ever made). After three days, it is fine - it's just those three days are really difficult! Wish me luck!

2. Learn to Drive

After the excitement of finishing university I have just been hanging out with friends, working and partying too much. I need to learn how to drive ASAP before my time gets super filled up! It's hard because I really hate learning how to drive, thinking to do automatic this time.. any thoughts?

3. Travel!

As mentioned, next week I am going to Cyprus with my best friend Katherine and I am so excited for it. I used to live there but haven't been back in two years so I will definitely appreciate it this time - can't wait to just lie on the beach and not have any worries bigger than what we are going to do that evening. And the food. Cypriot food is insanely amazing.

4. Grades

I get my results on June 25, and this will pretty much determine the rest of my life (to an extent). I sort of hate and love the anticipation of opening results - my A level ones were a pretty horrendous experience but it all sorted itself out in the end (make sure you get a remark if your results aren't what you expected - mine went up 14 marks as they missed 2 pages of my exam!)

 Fingers crossed that this goes well though, I have put in so much work over the last three years so really, really hope this shows! Then I will officially be a law graduate!

5. Relax!

It's officially summer - time to have fun! :)
