Only one week to go.
I can’t tell you how good that feels, knowing that both my beast of a 24 hour exam and my first normal exam are finished so I can forget about theatre conventions and Old English grammar.
In just over a week’s time I will be with Tom and will have two whole weeks to unwind and be taken care of. I cannot tell you quite how much I am looking forward to it!
Now, as you all know by now, I am a list maker. I love lists and lists seem to love me too. Blame my mother 
I write lists for everything, for chores, for things I need to get done that week/day, for books to read, for ideas, for food shopping, for beauty items, for workouts, for goals and for plans.
‘Plan’ Lists are one of my favourites, there is nothing more exciting (I clearly live an adrenaline-filled life) than writing a list of all of the fantastic things I want to do, places I want to visit and things I want to create. I say nothing more exciting, obviously actually getting to do the things on the list is better!
And so was born my ‘Summer Plans’ list. Ah just the thought of being able to start implementing this list in two weeks time makes me smile. I don’t think I’ve ever needed a holiday more than this summer!
Summer Plans
- Bake bread. Hopefully this loaf.
- Sew a cushion cover for my bedroom.
- Visit the zoo. Tom and I have been several times and I love it
- Discover new cycle routes. Part of my plan to help myself recover is to get on my bike more so I want to find new and longer routes.
- Work my way through the Primrose Bakery Cookbook. Enough said.
- Go for picnics.
- Read 20+ books purely for pleasure.
- Take day trips: London, the beach…
As I said before, I just cannot wait to be free of exams and revision! I have a feeling it’s going to be a brilliant summer
Do you have any plans for the summer?
Are you a list person like me?
I’m a list lover too, no worries!
It sounds like you have some FANTASTIC plans for summer, I can’t wait to see all of the adventures you have! 
Glad I’m not alone
Thank you Alexandra! I hope you’re having a great break!
YAYYY! love summer reading
Me too, one of the best things about holidays in my opinion!
I am a list lover too Sophie… it feels good to organize myself and then to cross things off! You are sooo close there lady, power to you for the last bit of time!
Thank you Tessa
Your support is helping me through it! There is definitely little more satisfying than crossing things off to-do lists!
I’m a “list person” too and just LOVE freshly baked, home-made bread. Yum! Kim*

Me too and I haven’t baked in far too long!
Love the lists! They always make things so much easier. Good luck with the one more week left!
Thank you Haley! I can’t wait to be done
I am definitely a list maker too! Your Summer list sounds very fun! That cookbook looks awesome, I love looking through baking books. And a day trip to the beach and London sound amazing, I’m jealous!
Thank you
I love looking through them too, the photos always make me so hungry! I hope the trips become a reality!
Totally a list girl – but they’re more work oriented then anything else usually. I think I need to make a habit of putting things I enjoy on those lists as well
Sounds like some great summer plans, so happy for you that your exam period is almost over. Can’t wait till mine is
I had a feeling you would be, we’re quite similar in some ways
You definitely do, you deserve to do things you enjoy! Thank you lovely!
I love that you are a list girl like me! I have a ‘thing’ about lists and planning! Right now I have a list for my 30th Birthday party and my Jubilee Party
Me too, I love them haha. Oh those sound like pretty fantastic lists! I can’t wait to read about the parties
I definitely am a list person!! I usually plan out my day on a list and what/when I’m going to be cooking that week. Sometimes I plan what I’m making for the whole month haha. I don’t have many plans for the summer besides work, cook, and hang out with my friends/boyfriend because I usually just take things day by day and whatever happens, happens
Haha that really is in advance! Those sound like pretty awesome plans anyway
I like that philosophy, it’s basically what I will be doing, I just like to plan some of the bigger things!
Can I just say how much I adore otters!? I love them so much!
So far I have no plans for the Summer aside from *hopefully* graduating. Beyond that?? Who knows?
Can you tell I’m not a planner? I lack faith in the future going to plan to plan at all. I know sounds quite sad but, that’s how it is! So, no, I’m not a list maker outside of grocery lists!
Enjoy the weather and the weekend!
Aren’t they adorable? I love them too
It’s so exciting that you’re graduating! I hope your exams are going well lovely!
That is a little sad but I can understand, I’ve experienced that feeling over and over again as many of my plans, even the huge ones like attending my uni, have not succeeded. I just keep trying really
I love making lists, I feel so much more organized. Your summer list is great! I need to make one!
Me too, I love feeling organised
Thanks Brittany!
Oh yes, I am most certainly a list person, too. I have about five lists sitting on my kitchen counter–ones for specific stores, one for weekend plans, one for what I’m doing today…it gets out of control (in a very organized fashion, that is…) sometimes!
I’m like that too, I like to have lots of different lists for different aspects of my life haha. I like organised chaos like that
