This weekend I was lucky enough to
be able to go home for a few days as we have a 'reading week' at Uni, which is
basically like a half term in which you should do some work!
The reading week provided me
with a great opportunity to go home and visit my family as I haven't seen them
since I started waaay back in September (the 13th to be exact). And it was recently both my Sister's and my Dad's birthdays. So it was
lovely to be able to go home and just be around them again.
Saying that, it really was a
jam-packed weekend. I got the train down to Derby at 8pm on Friday so arrived
at 10:30pm both knackered and drowsy. My Mum picked me up from the train station and took me home -
straight to bed in fact as I'd had a very busy day - including my first shift
at my new job! (I got a job at Costa! *Woop woop*)
And oh my, can I tell you how much I missed my own bed.
It was beautiful to wake up in a double bed. I can't even convey how comfy it
was in comparison to my bed at uni. Wow.

Saturday
was just spent chilling. Relaxing in my own room. Watching Orange is the New
Black and seeing my dear Auntie and Cousin.

On
Sunday, we went to Alton Towers to celebrate my sisters 13th
birthday and we had a great day out! It ended up being just me and my brother,
Peter, going round together, as Claire and her friend stayed together, which
worked out really nicely as we never really have time alone to chill. The rides
there were fab, as were the doughnuts, which we treated ourselves to! And to
top it off we‘re pretty sure that we saw Chris Robson (the England Rugby
player) there too!
On
Monday, I was surprised to have an early visit from my cousin Jess before she
went back to Leicester, which was lovely, as I really have missed her! Then I
headed to Nottingham to meet my best friend Megan, and we went to the White
Rabbit tearoom, which was adorable! It was great to see her too because it’s
just been so long.* I was then surprised for a second time that day when my friend
Nicole text me to see if I wanted a cuppa since she had an hour to spare (she’s
a very busy gal) – and I jumped at it! So we had a lovely little catch up over
tea and biscuits in my room.
*Uni is great and all but
golly gosh I have missed my friends!
Then to
top it all off, on Monday night my Mum and I went for a meal out and a well
needed catch up. It was officially the best day I’ve had in a long time!

Tuesday wasn't as hectic. I just popped into Derby to see my close friend
Frances, who is an absolute cutie! We went to Frankie & Benny’s for lunch
then did a spot of Christmas shopping – it was wonderful! Then I went back home to pack up all the things I forgot to bring the first time ready for my 8pm train back to Newcastle.
All in
all, I had an amazing weekend, although it did feel so odd to be home as I now
have a new place that I refer to as home. It just happens to be 150miles away. It's just a shame it all went by so quickly, but as they say: 'Time Flies when you're having fun!'
I hope you enjoyed
this post, even if it was mostly me rambling! If you’re interested in a
range of uni related posts can you let me know in the comments below? I’m
thinking of doing a room tour/ootd kinda thing but I’m not too sure so let me
know!
Until next time my
lovelies,
Love Rosie
