About

Hi, I'm Anna. Most of the time, I'm a law student. The rest of the time I'm a daughter, sister, girlfriend, singer, dancer, organiser, cook and friend. I like to read a lot, although mostly I don't have time to read normal books; the law sort of gets in the way of that. This blog will, with any luck, have very little (if nothing at all) to do with law.

I grew up in a small town in Scotland, and home is very important to me - I think that's a side affect of being a small town girl. I have a fairly large family, and they are everything really. My mum is pretty much my best friend. I'm that sort of gal.

This is home. It's hard not to see why I love it so much.

I now live in Edinburgh, which is a pretty great place to be. I love being a student: I love the opportunities it brings, the people you get to meet and most of all, the things you get to learn. I am a great big massive nerd, and I love learning, and to be perfectly honest, I love my degree. I love that every day I get to learn something that is important to our society, and that can give me the power to some day give back to that society. I just love it.

I think on this I'd like to talk about my experiences as a student, and the things it has taught me about my life.

Look at the beautiful city I get to do all that learning in.

I have a lot of hobbies. I have danced pretty much all my life, and sang since I knew how to. Music is my biggest love that isn't a living breathing person really. I love all kinds. I love singing a big belting solo on stage from one of many great musicals just as much as I love playing my wee guitar in my room and singing quietly to myself. There it's mostly some form of soft country or folk music. I always think that the greatest gift God ever gave me is my singing voice. I mean I'm hardly Beyoncé, but it's there and I can use it and make people smile and sometimes even cry, and that's good enough for me.

I like big open spaces and I like crazy bustling cities. I'm lucky to have travelled quite a lot in my life, it is a real gift.

I have a lot of ambition, but also a lot of anxiety. I'm only 18, so I'm not that sure what I want out of life yet. I know most of the basics, but I still have no idea what my path is. Either way, I figured that it would be nice to record my journey somewhere, so that's what this is for.

While I don't know where I'm going in life just yet, I don't know that I need to. I really love my life. I love the little things: the baths, the candles, the hillwalks, the swims in the sea, cups of tea with friends and loved ones. I just love all that. I want to bottle it all up, and let the positivity ooze out into my life. I'm very lucky.

So there we go - that's me, and this is home. This is my place for now.

Be happy, all the love xoxo
