no one has the guts to shut us out.
Greetings, old chums! Again, many apologies for being a highly neglectful f-lister and disappearing for... however long I've been gone. I assure you, I do have excuses aplenty:
- my immune system doesn't exist
- I have a slipped disc
- law school is hella difficult
- I went to Melbourne for a week
- one of my closest friends has a depressive disorder
Ahem. That last one probably should have come first. It's a complicated situation.
I'd really love to know what you've all been up to. Really and truly. Please tell me how you've been and what life has been throwing at you of late. In particular, if you've traveled or anything (like come home from a wicked exchange trip... *cough*), please link to me posts you've made! I am determined to stop being so shitty at this f-list thing. I have missed many of you so, so much, and I'm glad that I can at least stalk some of you on Twitter.
As for me, I'm doing really well. I'm happy and filling my life with the things I love to do. I never have a moment's rest because every inch of every day is taken up by law school, dressmaking, writing music, picking up Spanish again, decorating my room, spending copious amounts of money on sixties clothes... Though I don't have a job, I did score a great internship at Act For Peace, which is a non-government aid organisation targeting overseas communities torn apart by conflict. There's a lot of work to be done on cluster munitions legislation and refugee policy at the moment, which is exactly the kind of work I want to be doing.
Melbourne was amazing (and I'll probably do a Melbourne photo post soon). I turned twenty-one there, and I honestly didn't pick the link at the time, but I suddenly feel as though I'm beginning a new kind of life. My world suddenly includes art deco design, exercise (due to afore-mentioned slipped disc), going to an office - things that I never so much as thought about a fortnight ago. And all of my issues with my health are forcing me to take better care of myself - to cut down on my beloved coffee (though I accidentally had three yesterday), to force myself to get some sleep, to stop smoking, to layer up when it's cold. I feel like I'm in a much better place now. Life is good.
