There's a lot in my bucket dear Liza

Those of us on primary ed who have taken the MFL specialism have spent a lot of time thinking about transition this week. It's quite fitting as we are about to make a massive transition into real life! We've had our last whole cohort lecture, loads of people have got jobs and Uni officially ends on May 20th.. scary stuff.  It's sad to say goodbye to what has been my life for three years but I'm really excited for future challenges and surprises :) I was having a think about all the things I'd like to do and thought it was about time I started writing some form of bucket list.

There is loads of cool stuff that I've already done like, abseiling, swam with dolphins, had a story published in a magazine, rode a camel, been to the top of the Eiffel tower, tied a message to a balloon and let it go, gone on an aquarium date, given blood, jumped from a boat into the sea, volunteered for charity, visited the Natural History museum, had a fish pedicure, saw the pandas at Edinburgh zoo, attended a Hindu/Sikh wedding, explored castles and caves etc. But what is life without new interests, wishes and passions? :)
