Introducing Me

Introducing Me!

You know the first blog is always the hardest.

My name is Iona, I know slightly unusual, for four letters it surprising how many people gets it wrong. I’ve been called everything from Leona to Long; seriously four letters! My name is Gaelic and traditionally means peace and tranquillity. I am anything but peaceful and tranquil.  Sometimes I have no idea what I’m doing or saying but it leads to a very interesting life.

I’m 18 and about to head out into the big bad world and accomplish something. I have no idea what that is though. When I was younger I always wanted to be a teacher, my mum is one and the idea of helping teenagers through, exams and general pubescent woes appealed. Having just completed that part of my life I can speak from experience and admit that it was the hardest thing I have ever done (so far). However from helping out in classes in my free periods I can say, though I was rock at it, attempting to help people, who don’t want help, is not for me. Making people smile and laugh is my life goal and forcing youngens to learn when they simply couldn't care less about seems like a pointless exercise. At this moment in time I am hoping to go to university and get a degree but after that, I have literally no idea but that’s ok. I have three years to figure it out.

started to toy with the idea of starting a blog, when I realised that after my revision ends after my a-levels I really won’t have a life. This summer is about fun and relaxing; but after working so hard for so long I will need to channel my surplus energy into something. So blogging it is! This blog will mostly be about my life (or lack of) and comments on my favourite books and activities. So hopefully you will enjoy reading the snippets of my life and keep returning for more instalments.

Keep on Smiling and Most of all Be Happy,

Iona xx
