I don’t really have a lot to write about this week because I haven’t really done much. I got me a horrid cold, which rendered me useless and resulted in me spending most of this week at home, primarily in bed. Usually, I’d have a million panic attacks over such a lack of productivity, however, I feel A HELL OF A LOT better for having a few days to myself, to properly unwind. Nevertheless, I am still extremely nervous about my confirmation review next Monday, and now have more energy to panic about it. 

However, I have quite an exciting week ahead, which means I can ignore the existence of next Monday until the weekend. On Wednesday, I am heading back down to South East London as I have been invited to present a speech at my old secondary school. My A-level Biology teacher is bribing me with wine to come and tell an assembly of high-achieving KS3 students and their parents about my journey through my career/life and my experiences at the school. I am very excited, especially as this is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to do as a STEM ambassador. 

Finally, my bestie @steffnow visited me this weekend, which we spent catching up, watching films, eating pizza, and drinking wine. Bliss. <3

Me: *ready to fold laundry*

I hate this growing up nonsense
