So after speaking to a very good friend last night, I was reminded that actually I don't update in here at all right now, I'm still reading stuff, just my head is a little messy and I always come to write and the effort of reliving things seems so much I don't bother.
Seeing as it's been so long though - I'll do a quick rundown of things.
The summer was amazing, I had the most fantastic time ever at camp. Yeah there were ups and downs but on the whole it was the experience of a lifetime, I THOROUGHLY reccomend camps to anyone looking for summer work. I have spent my summer, canoeing, climbing, hiking, abseiling off of a 70foot viaduct, improving my archery and survival skills and doing orienterring. I don't think i've ever felt so healthy in my life - i was even optionally going out bouldering and hiking at the weekends - i really miss being there :(
Then i came back to uni, to the usual hecticness that is freshers week, only this time round I was organising it, I've had a few tears and temper tantrums over stuff but on the whole it was the best freshers week the halls had seen yet, we were well up on bar takings and all the students seemed to have a really really good time. Apart from that, I've been busy with lots and lots of JCR stuff, to the point that my course is suffering a bit - but I'm working on that one.
I'm living in an amazing house right now, and mostly getting along fairly well with everyone in it. Apart from the odd argument with one of my housemates, I'm trying to stand more and more on my own two feet. it doesn't always work but then what does.
I guess thats about all really, I've just taken on a new volunteering project working with kids from disadvantaged backgrounds and taking them out on day trips at the weekends which should be really good, and have been asked to think about becoming one of the co-ordinators for other volunteer work that I do.
Anyways better be off I have a million and one things to do - sorry i'm not replying much to people, I am reading and I do care, just don't have the words a lot of the time right now
