Hello

It's me. I was wondering if after all these yea--

Oh do shut up Lorna. You're not Adele. Stop pretending to be her.

Well - I'm back in the land of blogging! However, this time I'm doing it a bit differently. If you know who I am then you'll know that previously I've classed myself as a lifestyle/beauty/food and everything-in-between blogger. This time it's different. This time I'm just here to write about myself, some of the thoughts I have and as you've probably guessed by the name of the blog - sometimes I want to talk about my job.

The reason I've come back to blogging after a short break is simply because I miss having an online voice. I miss having a platform to talk about the things I have thoughts about. I miss the dialogue it opens up with people online - and to be quite honest, sometimes I miss the opportunity for procrastination it inevitably brings to my life.

I'm not aiming to be fancy. I'm not wanting publicity or 'blogger fame' off the back of this - I'm not even after the amazing 'freebies' and experiences that my last blog gave me. I literally just want somewhere to vent my opinions and an online space to call my own again. I've missed it tremendously.

You'll be pleased to hear that I have no hidden agenda, this time I have no spreadsheet telling me what and when to post, I have no tweets scheduled, because give me strength, ain't nobody got time for that! This is going to be real. It's going to be me, posting when I can, about what I like - and that's about it really.

So, to give you a little bit of background on me in case you don't already know who I am:

If you'd not already realised, my name is Lorna. Hiya! I'm a teacher. I'm a Newly Qualified Teacher (or NQT) at the minute. In September, I will begin my first teaching year at a local high school. I'm obviously not going to tell you which high school because 'reasons'. Don't get me wrong, I'm not aiming to be entirely anonymous on this blog but I'm also not wanting you to stalk me or follow me home. You dig?

Anyway, everything's gotta start somewhere, and this is my start. My new beginning, my first ever post as a soon-to-be NQT. I'd love to be able to tell you what to expect, but I can't. I don't know what this is going to turn into (if anything - God knows if I'll even have time to continue this come September) - but meh. Let's just say we're going with the flow and seeing how this going, yeah?

So, welcome aboard - it's sure to be an inconsistent and incredibly rambly journey. I hope you're ready.
