The flat that I've been given, wasn't originally one of my two choices, but seems to be like an overflow for new students. I've found out so far that I'll be staying in a five room flat, with four other people, two of whom I've already found on facebook. As this flat wasn't one of my original choices, I don't yet know a great deal about it, apart from that my room is a single en suite with a three quarter bed, there's a courtyard with a BBQ, and supposedly our common room is the pub attached to the building.
Throughout this last year, things have gone from bad to worse, to hugely worse, but now everyone seems to be okay. They're still not 100%, but they're back on their feet and pushing forward.
At the moment, I feel excited about moving in, however I also feel a slight hesitancy due to leaving my mum, brother and sister. As well as all that I am slightly nervous, but that's to be expected really.
For the last year I've stayed at home where I was needed, I took a year out and worked, but please don't get me wrong, I was more then happy to do that, however I do think that now is my time to move on. This next year for me, will be the return back into education, into student life, into a time that I can enjoy, without walking on egg shells, or being afraid of letting something slip that I shouldn't.
After the step of getting my place confirmed at Sheffield Hallam, getting my accommodation is really my first major step towards this new chapter in my life. I've got somewhere to stay in a new city, I've got a place to study at, and luckily I've got great friends moving there too to share this time with.
Its not long now till the move in date and university begins, and hopefully there won't be too much left to sort out, or get ready. Never really thought I'd be saying this but I can't wait to get back to school.
