The Royal Wedding

On a lighter note today, there's only one day left to go before the royal wedding between prince William and Kate. Recently I've started to notice the amount of people talking about it and preparing for tomorrow in one way or another.

One thing that did surprise me about this occasion is how much people are actually wanting to celebrate it themselves, not just by watching it. Have heard lately about lots of people organising parties, and getting together in local pubs, and some even trying to organise street parties.
It also surprised me to hear how the local council have been asking, if people are wanting to do street parties, so that they can help to organise the roads and parking.

To wrap this up, I just felt how awesome it is that, to the majority of people, tomorrow isn't just a day off of school, or off of work, but is actually an event that will change our little country's future. Is also amazing to see that soo many people want to make something of tomorrow and be part of the day so that, in some many years time, they'd be able to look back and say I remember that day.

Hopefully tomorrow will show that even throughout all the talk of recessions, conflicts overseas, problems in our country, that everyone for that day will get along, and enjoy this happy break from normal day to day life. Even though I will be working, I'm already planning on sneaking in a small radio, so I can also be part of the day. Have a great time tomorrow, and congradulations!

Where it started

Soo....I thought, as I haven't done this before I would start with a little about myself, and some events that have lead me to where I am now.

I originally was born in the south of england, but moved up to scarborough where I am now, so that we could get a bigger house for the arrival of my little sister. Since moving here, I've gone through the rest of primary school, secondary school, and sixth form, and i'd applied to go to university, starting october 2010. For me i feel this is where i would like to start writing about things.

In october 2010 I moved into my new universtiy accommodation, and began my uni course that i secured through clearing in august, a few months previous. However after a short time, i decided to move back home and take a year out. The main reasons I chose to do this, were because my course was not as i'd hoped, and my accommodation, was part of another university's accommodation, miles away from my uni. However the most important reason being, that my parents split up the weekend before I left for uni. Meaning leaving my younger brother and sister at home, having to deal with my dad moving out, my mum getting into financial complications, and them not being able to see my older sister and me, as we would be away at university.

To cut a long, story short, I came home, moved everything back in, headed down to the job centre and picked up a job as quick as i could. Since then, (again keeping it short) my mum and me have attempted to fight off the bills, my little sister has been seeing a counciler at her school, and my brother has been able to immerse himself in his college work to keep himself busy.

Thanks for listening

Introduction, My first blog

Hello everyone :) , I’ve never posted a blog before, but i’ve been thinking about it for a while now, and decided I would finally give it a go.

Why decide to Blog???
The reason i’ve decided to beginning blogging is simple really, to talk. Some people who know me will say i talk alot, when in fact i feel i do talk, but say very little, does that make sense?? A little secret about me is that i tend to keep things close, i keep my cards close to my chest, but i want that to change.
So here we go! I now intend to write to note things down, thoughts, feelings, memories, ideas, anything from how my days going, to songs i’ve just heard that I like, to events that have happened in my life, good and bad.

How will this work???
Well as i haven’t blogged before this, and im not quite sure how this goes and definatly as i’m not the best writer there is, I am just going to write whatever comes to me, in the way i would say it as if i was speaking to someone. Am really sorry if i babble on at any point, will try to keep my blogs short…ish. Also, i’ll not be doing with all the proper english, as there will definatley be some spelling mistakes and incorrect grammar all over the place.

Finally, just thought i’d say, my names Jack, im 19, and I hope you enjoy!
