Nina was on Twitter!

It's #FollowFriday on Twitter today, so I wasn't expecting too much when the (1) popped up beside my Twitter tab. When I clicked, I realised this was far from the weekly recommendations and "thank you"s or "no problem"s; it was a tweet from Nina.

I'm not sure why I neglected to mention Nina's departure on this blog, but it may be because it was such a sad and sudden event. She told me that her dad lost his job and said that they might have to move house, but I didn't imagine she'd have gone less than month later, and as far away Scotland.

Since this happened 3 months ago, and no-one has contacted her since, I was very surprised to receive this tweet from her today, which simply said "-pokes jess-". We had a conversation, reminiscing about old times and discovering her new-found television favourites: Big Brother and Coach Trip! It was great to talk to her again; you don't appreciate how much people mean until they're not there.

I should be revising...

I haven't posted a lot recently because I have a history exam coming up which is worth 35% of my final grade. Also I was feeling a bit ill at the end of May, but I'm feeling much better now! On the 29th, Em, Chelsea, Nina, Elisha, Jasmine and I went ice skating to celebrate Chelsea's birthday (which is in just over a week's time), then to Flavourz for the all you can eat buffet, which turned out to be very nice. On Tuesday it was my dad's birthday; we celebrated with a meal and a game of Monopoly at my grandparents' house. It's now the holidays, but rather than relaxing, I really should be revising...
