7 January 2013
This year your heart will heal, you continue to learn and grow as a person and continue to edge closer to the freedom you crave.
Unfortunately, you'll be stuck in the same country for the whole year and your 'Travel Twitch' will look lustfully at Asia, South America and remote spots in Africa.
Fortunately, you will rediscover how valuable your best friend is as you plan a 2013 holiday destination. Phew.
Astonishingly, you'll rediscover your love of creative writing and actually find time to write in a humble, supportive, writers community. It will rejuvenate your soul.
Persevere with your studies, this year will be tough. But you'll actually pass Year 1&2 of vet school in one go and drift apparently seamlessly into the world of Year 3 veterinary studies. And while everyone around you begins to crumble under the mountain of information, you will seem oblivious - with your heart and mind wrapped up in love.
You will see Michael McIntyre's Showtime. Twice. You will be so excited as to embarrass everyone around you and JUST NOT CARE.
Every spare moment will be filled with pathology or parasitology or epidemiology or public health.... Or something. And you'll still enjoy it, even though you'll be fed up at the same time.
Your 23rd birthday will be disappointing but filled with good intentions.
Revision for 2013 January exams will make you forget about Christmas, only to be gently reminded by a loud, busy and bouncy family gathering. It's then that you'll remember how important family are.
But your career is important too. So keep going.
Your dream lies on the road ahead.
Love, Future Nicola P.S can I get one of these for 2013? :P
