Craig's Epic Journey!

Right...

Time to explain the real reason for this blog and explain what’s going on in my life...

To start, I think the title of this post sums it up pretty well but for those who don't know... As part of my university degree, I am required to do a student placement for 12 months. After months of trying I finally got one. In Cardiff, working for Johnson & Johnson. They are a massive company and I am sure everybody has or still does use at least one of their products.

So working for JnJ is an amazing job and Cardiff is a wonderful place... I been there a few times now and still can't believe how big it is compared to Plymouth. Still it comes down to, do I really want to live in Cardiff.

And the answer is no ... but yes and its driving me crazy!

I love my current house and house mates. There are new people moving in which will make it even better and I have to leave ... How much does that suck!!!

And then there is the rest of my friends and family that are all in Plymouth and around Plymouth. I don't want to leave them!!! Plus I know one person who lives in Cardiff and I haven't spoke to him for over a year, I dropped him a message and he never got back to me so I’ll be moving to a new city to a new flat with a new job with no friends or people I know for miles around. And yes I know how over extended that sentence is but it needs to be god damn it!

But just when I want to give up ... Throw it all away and run and hide in a small ditch in Plymouth (Properly under Freddy's bed), I remember the good points and I swear they give me the juice I need to carry on!

Ok sooo lets see ... There is working for JnJ... Some people would kill for that (I'm thinking mainly of Nikki). The fact that I worked for JnJ will look amazing on my CV and even better because I shipped up and moved away for a job! I mean that will look good right!?

Then there is Cardiff ... The capital city of Wales ... I am bound to meet some truly ... Special and amazing people up there and make new friends and contacts that will benefit me for the rest of my life. Surely!?

Then there is the final good point about this whole crazy mess up thing ... It can be summed up as 2 points but I’m going to mix them...

Maybe it’s time to leave Plymouth.... I have lived here for 20 years 6 months 19 days ... ish

Explore ... Get out there and see the world, meet new people and experience new things ... Would that really be so bad ...

Plus there is the pad!!!! What can only be described as "The Bachelor Pad!"

Ok so here is the description I got to read that made me wanna see it:

"Recently refurbished apartment, covering the ground and 1st floors. Located in a more residential area of Roath and within approximately 10 -15 minute walk into Cardiff City Centre. Property compromises of double bedroom with a modern stainless steel spiral stair case leading up to the 1st floor bedroom, chrome fittings throughout, beech kitchen units, double glazed, fully tiled bathroom with electric towel rail and stainless steel shower running off new Worcester combi-boiler (no bath). Good size open plan lounge / kitchen. All flats in the property are sound proofed and SAP tested to ensure environmentally conscious living. Furnished to a very high standard."

Spiral Stair Case.... Need I say any more!?

Ok so it costs a bit but it will be mine ... all mine ... No house mates ... No dirty unknown dishes... just mine ... Plus peeps when they visit me (Which they better!!!) will have space to stay!!!

I'll shut up and put all my crazy thoughts back in to my head for now but I would like to hear what you peeps think!!! Sorry about such a big post but I think I needed to get it all out!!!

I'll leave you with some pics of the new pad!
