I've just finished my course, and it's the first time in a while that I haven't gone away somewhere exciting to work for the whole summer (summer of 2016 was Japan/Spain/Germany, summer of 2015 was Bosnia/Serbia/Croatia).
I have also just had a break up, just moved back to Edinburgh (with my parents), just finished studying (for now anyway), and just started a new job.
Lots of change.
So I am trying to keep myself busy, and build up a social group again, as well as plan a few things that I have been wanting to do for a while (like learn to make pottery, or start going swimming again).
Of course the weather has mostly been pretty rubbish (it is Scotland after-all), and as a self-proclaimed sun-worshipper, this has been rather tricky.
I have been back in Edinburgh for almost 2 months (it will be 2 months on the 9th of August).
Here is my plan for the next while, and if you have any suggestions please let me know.
As a true Edinburger born and bred, I was keen on writing a Guide to the Edinburgh Festival for tourists heading this way over the next weeks, so I will try to publish this over the next few days.
Mostly I have been doing job applications, organising my room (strangely therapeutic), and working part-time. I have also watched enough bad TV and YouTube videos to last a life-time.
I will update this schedule as my plans inevitably change and evolve, but the main things I am looking forward to are London next week, all the festival events I have booked during August, and Helsinki in early September.
(If any of you are Finnish or have been to Helsinki, I would love to get any tips for places to go etc!)
