Versatile Blogger Award


So yesterday I checked my comments to find a lovely one from The Fashion Armoire who said she had awarded me the Versatile Blogger Award! I'm so grateful for this, especially as my blogs still a baby really and this will be just my 9th post, but it's so nice to have been awarded this so thank you so much. Also, a massive bonus is that I've now been introduced to her blog which is amazing and which I now follow so I'd definitely recommend you guys check it out!

The rule of the Versatile Blogger Award are as follows: 
- Thank the person that nominated you with a link back!
- Tell 7 things about you!
-Pass this on to 9 newly discovered blogs and let them know they have revieved the award

So, again.. thank you The Fashion Armoire!

7 things about me:


- I am so obsessed with One Tree Hill and watch the series over and over and over again.
- I have a dog called Shay who I miss so much when I'm living at uni :(
- I go to Swansea University
- When I have really down days watching One Tree Hill is the only thing that can cheer me up
- I've watched too many Don't Tell the Brides and have started to plan my wedding... sad I know haha
- One day I am going to travel the world with my boyfriend. 100% it will be done. Watch this space ;)

Number 1 - Check!


So I've marked one of the 20 things to do before I'm 20 off my list, as of yesterday 22nd March I am now a  volunteer at the Egypt Museum! 

I've got a 20 hour probation period of training and completing workbooks etc. so that I can advance on and become a gallery assistant and hopefully maybe eventually gallery supervisor! The course I'm studying at uni is Ancient History and Egyptology and when I'm older I want to work within museums and heritage, most likely as a curator so this is such a fantastic opportunity for me to get experience and improve my CV. 

It's taken quite a lot for me to  get here because I am painstakingly shy and the thought of talking to strangers makes me so anxious and panicky that I want to vomit. I wouldn't have begun the process of applying for a volunteer role without my boyfriend. I know he reads this so I just want to let him know how grateful I am for all his pushing me to do this, making me feel better about everything and instilling me with a bit of confidence. Hopefully this experience will not only give me valuable things to add to my CV but also improve my confidence so that it's not as hard for me to take up opportunities like this in the future.

My first actual proper day is next Wednesday, wish me luck!
