Day 18: Set or share a goal

I have goals coming out of my ears at the moment. I'm lucky enough to have a set thing that I'm working towards.  I'm not a very career driven person and although my goal will include completing my NQT year it's more of a means to an end...


My medium term goal is to get to Australia. To do this I need to find a job and do a year of teaching. I'm doing it for two reasons. 1) Because it will be awesome fun! 2) it's the only way I can live with my foreign boyfriend in the silly little world.


By September 2011 I need a job
2012 completed
2013 be in Aus
2014 be in NZ
2015 England with Lawrence hopefully :)

Day 17: A photo that makes you sad

When thinking about photos that make me feel sad the first thing that springs to mind is University. I had the time of my life there. People always said "the days you spend at uni will be the best of your life" and it's just SO true. I really found my place there. I fitted in well, had tonnes of friends surrounding me and hours on end of entertainment. I made friends for life. It's tempting to post the photo of the whole of block 3 outside the block. Block 3 was a really special place to live and I loved every second of it. It was painful having to leave and move on. 


...but I did. I cemented my friendship with a selection of really special people and spent the next two years having an even better time. I don't have a good picture of us all together so I've decided to post two. 


My housemates:

and the others:

Masha got in there twice the lucky bugger. 


I've included these photos because these are the people I miss living near the MOST. However, I will see them all much more often now as I've moved to be closer to them :)

Day 16: Provide pictures of 5 celebrity crushes

So...this guy is the only "celebrity crush" I could think of off the top of my head. Jade and I used to have a whole list of people for our man wall but I've gone off them all. Michael C Hall AKA Dexter is definitely up there though. 

Others include:

And as a tiny kid I was obsessed with this guy for some reason:

Day 15: A letter to someone you wish you could meet

Dear Roald Amundsen.
You are dead! HOWEVER, we are related and you did really cool things that I know hardly anything about. I'm enormously interested in your life and the things you've accomplished but enormously lazy and easily distracted. I put off researching you and none of the relatives I have who are still alive can tell me much more than I already know. I find history rather dry when I read about it but if we could meet up I'd be able to ask a zillion questions. I feel like the family tree we share is very complicated and mysterious. There are lots of secrets and interesting people in it but I have no idea how to unlock it all. I wonder whether you'd be able to help me...


Over and out, Laura Day. 


P.S. Well done for being all explorery and such.
