So I should of wrote sooner, as now it means I have to remember what the hell I have been doing since my last post.
My last entry was somewhat depressing to me, reading back on it, I think I just needed a break,some friends to talk to! Some time to figure out if my life is going in the right direction, and if hull was just being missed because it's an easier and less challenging lifestyle.
So shortly after I took money that possibly should of been saved and went back to hull for a two week visit, it was very much needed. I spent the first few days with my mum just outside of hull in the middle of the country, and was reminded of what it feels like to be a teen living in your parents house, don't get me wrong is was lovely to see my little sister and it brought a tear to my eye to see how incredibly beautiful she is the more she grows up, BUT my family, complete and utter nuttballs, really!
Mum failed her first driving test which made her a little blue, consequently making me feel a little disappointed for her. But she has another booked this month, i'm hoping upon hope that she will pass,was so very close last time, one mistake three minutes before the end of the test, and she was failed on the spot. Makes you realise how quickly decisions manifest into life changing circumstances.
I saw most of the people i wanted to see whilst in hull, and a few others I didn't! A few let me down and decided to not sure up for nights out, but we all have our flaws and it was a really last minute decision to go. I know I missed seeing some dear people, but I will make the effort when I am next there, there was so many people to catch up with and not enough time. Besides this, I got caught in floods, spent hours up to my waist in water, and came down with a nasty case of the flu, I think this is a very good excuse! For the record, hull looks great under water, I know it was disastrous for a lot of people but it brought and an element of purity and cleansing to hull, and I saw acts of great humanity to people in bad situations, people checking on the elderly, friends sealing up there friends doors with silicone, distribution of sandbags to people less able, occasionally, I think we need these disasters to remind us why we are alive and how vulnerable we all are, despite class, race etc.
Anyway, I sound like a bloody hippy now, London has made hard honest!
I got great news a few weeks ago, I have been accepted into the university of Westminster to study Complimentary therapies! Woooop!
I am stupidly excited and really chuffed, I feel like my life has some direction now. Theres so many things I am planning to do here in london and I finally feel like I have made the right decision in coming here. The few people I have met from around the world have been such a wonderful inspiration, and friends back home have been so supportive in my time of uncertainty, without this I doubt very much I would still be here. So Im off to uni, me, I can't believe it, I have never really been the academic type but this is something that makes me burn, I am so passionate about it, I don't think I will be bored at all, over worked and stressed, but not in the least bit bored!
I have started teaching myself Bellydance, and its so much fun, makes me ache incredibly though, all in a good way, I plan to get the basics down and start studying it at classes. I found a inspirational idol, a woman called rachel brice who dances in the tribal fusion style! Oh good lord shes incredibly beautiful, such a goddess, go watch on youtube and see for yourself!
I have also heard of this guy, who works in a converted air craft hanger in brixton and he teaches aerial silks and vertical trapeze, so September will see me starting his workshops, all pinkies crossed!
Arghhhhhh, I'm so excited, life has been hard for the last year, but i think, it may be just about to look up!
I have so much more to say but for the time being this is all my tired mind will allow me to write!
I hope your all well and happy, if anyone's reading this, and I hope to see you all very soon!
