What do you think?

On September 17th 2013, I left home and moved to university. It was quite an exciting time and I enjoyed it to begin with but as time has gone on, I'm enjoying it less and less amd even considering leaving to go and get another qualification called an NVQ. What I would do it in I have no idea... What I'm thinking of trying to do, is be alot more permanent on italki and seeing how that goes then possibly doing an NVQ course in teacher training. What do you think?

Preparing to leave home!

Hello everyone!

On the 17th of September I will be leaving home and so soon, I will be starting to prepare for that! It's a bit of a scary thought because I've lived in the same house my whole life and even had the same bedroom for my whole life.

I thought it would be interesting to learn about your experiences of leaving home.

 

I hope you'll be willing to speak about this and I hope it will possibly help some of you out there who are looking to improve your English writing skills.

The joys of insomnia!

So, I'm writing this at well, it's 5:10am now and I'm just starting. I haven't slept yet... and I woke up at about 9am this morning. That's a while without sleep...

I suffer from insomnia, no every night, just sort of phases!

Although I really love to sleep (who doesn't?) I actually don't mind not being able to sleep. I'm a night owl anyway so my prime time is about 10pm onwards! It's this time that I do most of my work (I write alot) and when I read and all of that good stuff!

I wouldn't suggest doing school work at 1am though... not a good idea.

I was just wondering, how many of you are like me?

Are you a night owl? Are you an early bird?

Let me know!

That country west of England? (Posts aren't showing up with me!) This is just a short note to say sorry because your posts (or mine now either!) aren't showing up when I go to look on my previous entry! I'm really sorry for this because now I can't respond to you! :(

That place west of England?

It's Ireland right?

Wrong! It's Wales, my home.

 

You see, alot of people aren't actually aware that Wales exists, we have our own language and alot of people don't even realise that!

 

Wales was actually what it is now, England, AND half of Scotland! Granted, that was a VERY long time ago!

I wanted to know what you know about Wales? If you don't, would you want to know more?

 

I think it's interesting really, because so many people think of the "United Kingdom" as "England", it's actually not. Ireland, Scotland and Wales have different traditions and much older traditions than England. Wales is fortunate enough to have a language which is still alive... just!

 

Thank you for reading,
I'd love for you to write your thoughts etc and tell me if you want to know more!

 

 

Cyflwyniad bach fer yn y Gymraeg! (A short introduction in Welsh!) Helo! Fy enw i yw Hedydd Fflur. Dwi'n byw yng Ngorllewin Cymru gyda fy nheulu. Cyn bo hir, mi fyddaf yn gadael adref i mynd i fyw yn Aberystwyth er mwyn astudio yn y brifysgol. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at hyn gan mi fyddaf yn cael mwy o ryddid ac ni fyddaf yn gorfod goddef fy mrawd bach!

I am back! :) So as you might know, I have been away for a while studying, but now I have completed my time at school! YAY! In September I will be going to university which is quite exciting... but my big brother will be lecturing me! Which... isn't that exciting. Although I know that university life is more demanding in some ways than school life, once I get my timetable and everything, I hope I will be able to make a timetable for you guys too! I know as well, that while in university accommodation, I will have my own room, so I won't have to worry about having a room mate while I try and help you guys with Welsh or English. I hope that while I am in university that I will get the opportunity to go traveling more and things like that! I know in my second year I could be going to study abroad somewhere which is really exciting because I will be living abroad for about 6 months. During all of this and all that's going to happen in the near future (or things that I hope will happen anyway), I would like to make italki a bigger part of my life and thus making all of you a bigger part of my life too. I'm thinking of maybe starting a blog and / or a youtube channel dedicated to my italki adventures as well as other things like different experiences and travel. If you think this is a good idea and if you would like me to do this, PLEASE let me know because I think it would be quite an exciting thing to do, but if no one wants me to do it then I probably won't! It feels good to be back and I've missed the italki community. I'll be seeing you all alot more! Thanks for reading all of this, much love, Hedydd
