A breif intorduction of my fugville.

This time last year, I was in LA.

That's pretty much all you need to know about me. From September 2008 to June 2009, I lived the American dream. And my life has never been the same.

My life has always been pretty ordinary. I was born in a northern city, but moved to rural east of england when I was young. My parents divorced, but I got through it, made some great friends, and began university in 2006.

I attend a famous top 5 university in the UK. It is campus based and founded in the 1960s. Many refer to it as the 'bubble' I prefer the 'fuggle'. Yes readers, the fuggle. The fuggle, though enjoyable to some degree, has its fair share of problems. Number one, due to the ridiculous amount of engineers, mathematicians, physicians, chemists and general weighting towards the sciences, it means that there are a lack of fitties, and often ones with chips on their shoulders for not getting into oxbridge. Second, many of these people don't realise how rich they are, and how in reality university is not the real world. Now I'm not saying I'm poor, comfortable middle class, but it does not make for a very diverse community. I have loved campus, but in my second year of living here, it is restraining. There are so many other things I can list, but I'm sure the reasons will come out.

My degree course, enabled me for my third year to travel to San Diego, California to study. In every single way this changed my life. For the past year I cling to the memories of what happened and how amazing my life was. Not only did it change me but it meant coming back to university in England a hell of a lot harder. I always meant to keep a blog there, but I wanted to enjoy everyday, not be stuck to my laptop.

So I am now 3 weeks and 5 days from finishing my final exam, perhaps ever. Last week I handed in TWO dissertations, then became hooked on the election. I've always been political, always been interested in the news and how the world works, and some would define me as a socialist. I was voted most likely to be prime-minister in sixth form, probably due to one history lessons where our teacher asked if anyone was a socialist and I raised my hand, expecting others to do so. No one did. Mainly because many young people are a-political. They don't believe in the system, and don't really understand how politics effects every single component of our lives. From the education we receive, down to the fact you can be a-political. So I wait with baited breath to see what happens, as Nick Clegg betrays the liberal democrats.

Basically my life is like a hung parliament right now. I apply for jobs, but nothing happens. I wait for my exams and hope for a good degree. In a year's time I have no idea where I will be or what I will be doing. And that's why I've started this blog to begin to document how my life might go. Along the way, you may read about my pining, whining and dining (?!) but hopefully it will allow a little insight into my mind, even if occasionally it is dull!
