February is here!
In what seems like no time at
all, January is over, and 2016 is already one month old. And what a month it
was for me. Today, I want to look back over January and then look ahead to what
to expect throughout February on this page.
MOVING TO FRANCE
For quite some time now, I have
spoken about the fact that I would be spending the first six months of this
year in France as part of my university course. Well, during that period of
nearly three weeks when I didn’t post, I was in fact trying to settle into my
new environment. Apologies to you all for that, but this has been a difficult
process, and I needed to take that time to deal with everything. At the
beginning of the month, I fully intended to post regularly, but I underestimated
how difficult the first few weeks were going to be. It is for this reason that I
have decided to extend my theme of “New” throughout February in order to be
able to fully explore it as much as possible.
However, as tough as things have
been, it has been an amazing journey so far and I am really starting to enjoy
the experience and the wonders of living my life in this beautiful country. In the
end, I know that all of the hardship will be worth it, and I appreciate just
what a great opportunity this is and I am incredibly grateful to have been
given this chance.
Next week, I will be posting about
“New Places”, where I will be talking more about my experiences and feelings so
far, so keep an eye out for that.
TRENT’S TRACKS
Another exciting thing that
happened in January was the launch of my new music series, Trent’s Tracks. Every
Friday, I recommend a brand new song that I enjoy and share it with you along
with some of the reasons I like it. Music is one of those things that is unique
in the way that it can bring people together, and I want to use it to bring me
closer to you, and for you to get to know me a little bit better through the
sorts of songs I listen to. I am very proud of this series so far and have
already decided on some of the tracks which are yet to come, and I cannot wait
to tell you about them in future posts.
COMING UP IN FEBRUARY
As I have already mentioned, I am
going to extend the theme of “New” into February so that I can explore the
theme in detail and get the best out of it. Next week is when I plan to put up
my “New Places” post, which will give you more info about my time in France so
far, as well as discussing travel in general, so make sure to keep up with me
for details of when that goes live.
Next Wednesday, the 10th
of February, this blog will be a year old! To mark Stay Blogitive’s 1st
birthday, I will be doing a review of the first year, and what it has given me.
Also, I have a target to reach before that day, of 3,650 pageviews (10 for each
day). At the time of writing, the total is 3,567, so it is within sight. If you
could help get to that goal, I would be so grateful, as I always am to all of
you for your support. I will talk about this more in next Wednesday’s post, so
again keep a look out for that.
As always, I thank you for being
patient with me over this stressful and difficult month. If you want to stay
updated, you can do so via any of my social media links in the table below. Also,
feel free to leave me your thoughts in the comments on this post. The next in my Trent’s Tracks series will be
up this Friday, and until then, all I have to say is keep active, keep smiling,
and, above all else keep believing!
