Life is one big yo-yo

No, literally, I mean that.

This whole month is so hectic I just HAD to write a blog post on it. How is it like a yo-yo? Well, I'm commuting from home to Bristol and back more than anything currently. In the last two weeks I've been travelling on a train more than I think I've ever been. Essentialy, I'm doing work for my dad during the day, commuting to Bristol for my evening shifts and then commuting back. I don't mind it at all, I've always liked train journeys. However, standing on a platform at 10 in the evening with nothing bu a vanilla milkshake to keep you going is not the most pleasant an interesting expeience. Nevertheless, it's putting money in my back pocket, and with a holiday coming up I should start saving.

Oh yeah, and THEN I have Soul Survivor, literally the day after my holiday. Words cannot describe how excited I am to be going back. It's my first time there in three years and I'm really looking forward to it. For all of you who don't know, Soul Survivor is a Christian festival in Shepton Mallet in Somerset. Every year, 8-12,000 people turn up for a week with a lot of tents, set them up in a field (well, the Bath and West Showground) and worship God. There are morning and evening worships in the biggest tent in Europe, and throughout the day there are various seminars, activities etc to get involved in, all around the teachings of Jesus. In the evening after worship there's live music, time to chill out etc - it's an absolutely fantastic week which also sees maybe 500-1000 people become Christians over a single week. And this goes on for three - Weeks A, B and C. Even if you're not a man or woman of faith, I would recommend you go along just to see what it's like. You may even surprise yourself ;)

After that, I have my church festival at Gorsley and then it's back into my third year at uni. Despite the fact I only have a year, I'm going to make the most of it and try to have an absolute blast in the process. For now though, I should probably be getting on with some work haha. One final thing though - congratulations to Spain for winning Euro 2012, even if you DID leave me £10 out of pocket.
