2012!

I remember being a kid in primary school, standing in the playground, staring at the sky, thinking 'Why is time going so SLOWLY!?' and then I realised that the older I became, the faster time flew!  I suppose it's because you have more responsibilities and have more things to do when you're older, so the free time you have seems short-lasting.

Subhan'Allah.  Pinched this pic from: http://www.islamicthinking.info/

I honestly sit looking at the sky sometimes, and get freaked out by how fast the clouds are moving past me, as that means the worlds turning faster and so time is moving faster! (In my simple little head anywho).

Then I wonder if the clouds that I perceived to be slow moving when I was a kid in primary school where in fact moving fast for someone who was my age, then, at the very same moment?

Then my head hurts and I go eat a biscuit.

I think this year (or last year...) has been pretty eventful for me, but I struggle to recall what notable things I've actually done!!  I think thats more down to my bad memory than actually not doing anything all year!

2011
So in March I went to Marrakech with my family for my 21st, and it was BEAUTIFUL! I really want to go back to Morocco at some point in my life.
Also in March, my beautiful mam and dad threw me a suprise 21st Bday party :D was lovely!

The Courtyard in our hotel.

In June, I finished my year placement and returned to university which was bitter sweet!  It was bitter as I miss the lovely bunch of people i was working with (some who I know i will know forever :D) and I miss getting a wage!! Sweet as I don't have to get up at 6am to get to work for 8am and finish at 6pm!!

In September I went to Barcelona, which again was beautiful!  Loved the Catalonian way of living, so relaxed and chilled (and so clean compared to the dirty UK streets!).
