1stJanuary2013

The plans for this blog were supposed to change completely, so my hardest will be given to do so. At the start of 2012 the blog seemed to be to be appropriate and easy to understand for new readers, but slowly it slipped into posts that were simply for me. Looking though some of my posts from 2012 I realise how some of them were completely uninteresting to everyone, and I will try to avoid that from now on. I'm still unsure of how to go about talking about people, whether to use their first name, second name, or initials. I think an introduction to everyone I talk about would be nice, but anyone who doesn't follow the blog religiously won't understand my situations or the people involved in them.

Lets start on new years resolutions, as I believe I've chosen a great one this year that I can stick to. I usually have the same resolution every year; to lose weight and get exercise. Sadly for me, I love my food and I hate exercising. This new years resolution is to stay vegan for three months (I've been a vegetarian for four years now). I eventually want to go vegan permanently, but while living with my parents this proves to be difficult. My main reason for wanting to become vegan is my passion for animal welfare, as harm does come to them with consuming products that they produce. I am 100% confident that I will never purposely eat meat in my life again, but unfortunately I cannot say the same with being vegan diet. I can't remember ever having a big liking to meat, which meant switching to vegetarian was easy for me, but I cannot say the this about my love for dairy and the ease of becoming vegan. It will be a hard three months, but I'm certain I can do it.

I am currently in eduction studying higher national diploma in animal management, and I have a part time job at Matalan. From secondary school I went to college to study animal management, which lasted two years and I absolutely loved the course. I had a good group of friends and felt I fitted in nicely. The same goes for the course I am on now, which is the level five and will also last for two years. I have an option to go through a third year at a uni, which I'm feeling positively about as I love education that's interesting to me. Matalan is my first job, and I have been working there since September 2012. I enjoy working there very much as everyone's nice, which overweights the pay that isn't the greatest. I would prefer having a job linking to animals, but as a first job I cannot complain.

My blog will be revolved around me and my life, discussing my thoughts, opinions and providing an insight to what I do. The blog first started as it was a good was to express my feelings how I wanted to without having to involve those that know me. Having a blog makes my stress levels lower, and I hope you also can benefit from the blog.
