Hello, howdy, welcome etc. This obviously is my first post to a brand new blog. I'm no stranger to blogging, but the difference here is that I fully intend keeping this one. Basically my life is coming up to a major change, which calls for a fresh blogging experience.
So, first things first, I'd better explain a bit about who I am and what I'm all about. As you will no doubt have gathered from the little box in the sidebar to your right, my name's Sarah. I'm 19 years old, though will be 20 in a few weeks. I'm from Dublin, but am currently living in Wexford with my parents, my two younger sisters and my dearly beloved dog, Jake. I will, however, be moving back to my lovely home city very soon. At least that's the plan (fingers crossed).
In a little over three weeks' time, I'll be hearing about my fate from CAO. I applied for a place at Dublin City University to study an Honours Bachelor degree in Multimedia, and if all goes well, that will be the beginning of a new life for me. I finished school last year and so already have my Leaving Cert results; now I'm just waiting to see what this year's points will be. It's been a pretty horrific waiting game, but it's almost up now.
To cut a long story short, I spent the past year trying to get my head together and figure out what the hell it is that I want to do with my life. The funny thing is, for the entire six years of my secondary school life I was absolutely certain about my career path. But I have come to the realisation this past year that it's not the right path for me at all. When it comes to career choices, I am still no closer to knowing what I want to be. But I am sure of what course I want to do, and it's such a broad subject area that I know once I get into it (provided I get there in the first place) I will start to figure out the direction I'd like to go in.
I'm going to use this blog as an outlet for that aspect of my life once it begins. But I'm also going to occasionally blog about other stuff too, such as my hobbies and interests. So what kind of person am I? I'd describe myself as a deep thinker - in fact, I probably think too much about stuff, to the extent that I am the world's worst worrier. I worry about everything. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it. I'm a good listener and also quite a shy person. That said, I can talk people to death when I feel like it. Mention something in which I have a nerdy interest and I'm off. I have a good sense of humour and love to laugh. I have a creative mind which is constantly whirring away and conjuring up ideas for something or other. I'm also a huge nerd - in a good way, I think!
My main passion in life is music. I love to play guitar and go to as many concerts as I possibly can. I'm a huge fan of Alice Cooper, The Who, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Beatles, Cheap Trick, Rush and Queen, to name but a few. I could go on all day. Next on the list of interests is comedy - particularly British comedy, and the older the better. I absolutely adore Morecambe and Wise and Monty Python in particular. I have a fascination with music hall, variety and vaudeville. That's one of the things that activates the nerdiness in me.
I also love reading, writing, art, football, tennis and history. I'm really into genealogy and in fact I have another blog which deals solely with that. Hmm... what else? I love to travel and see other countries. And I love chocolate... mmm. I get to blame my late grandmother for my sweet tooth.
There's much more to me, but I'll leave it at that for now. This isn't supposed to be my autobiography, after all, and I'm pretty crap at doing bios for fear of sounding pretentious. The rest you will find out as we go along. Thanks for reading!
