My year according to Twitter - September to October

Continuing my look back at the last five months of 2012, here are the highlights from September and October:

My year according to Twitter - August

Today is New Years Eve. When I started writing the 'My week according to Twitter' blog posts in January I intended to write a new post each week of the year so that when it came to today I could look back at all the different things I had done over the year. I only managed to get to the end of July when I stopped. Probably due to a combination of reasons including the Olympics temporarily taking over my life and using my laptop a lot less than I used to after getting a tablet.

So here are the highlights from the last five months of 2012, starting with August:

My week according to Twitter - Week 30

This week the third and final Dark Knight film was out and the Olympics started! I've been lucky enough to get a couple of tickets and the BBC are going to be showing every minute of every sport. Can't wait!

My week according to Twitter- Week 29

This week it was the culmination of the last four years of university. It was graduation day! I am officially no longer a student. Going to miss those student discounts.

CONGRADUATIONS @mfaz!! instagr.am/p/NJjESQHz35/

My week according to Twitter - Week 28

This week I have trying to find things to keep me busy, but unfortunately that has meant I'm continuing to spend money. Ah well, just over a month until I start work now so my overdraft will just have to suffer for a little bit longer.

Euro Road Trip 2010 - Day 1 to 7

During the summer of 2010 I went on a road trip around Europe with my cousin Dan. We drove nearly 4000 miles through 11 countries over 16 days. It was one of my best ever holidays and has given me loads of ideas of places to visit for a full holiday.
I documented the trip through a series of Tweets, and two years on I have collected them together on this blog and put some photos with them. This is part 1 of 3, covering days 1 to 7. Enjoy.

Going to be posting trip updates here for my #euroroadtrip over the next couple of weeks
