It's the end of my first half semester of uni. so, i figure it's time to do some reflecting on the past 6 weeks of what have constituted my first half semester of uni.
I don't feel I've changed at all. I'm still the same as I've always been, only the periferal things have changed. The people I spend time with have changed alot. I guess a few months ago I was in a very tight group of girls - bec, steph t and hayley. I have so many good memories of that time, but I think we have all moved on. The people I spend most of my time with are ellie, steph z, millie and lauren and i love them all dearly. Of course I have other friends who I love as well and wish I could spend more time with, but that's just natural to have a closer crew of friends.
It's strange these days to be on the bus and see all the high school kids get on and think, I'm not one of them anymore. Has time really past so quickly? Sometimes it's scary thinking about it because it seems like just yesterday that I was a little year8 at walford. I think the older you get, the more you allow things to scare you. So is it really true that age brings wisdom, or is the wisest person of all simply a child who carries no burden or worry of what life may bring? My dad always taught me to accept life, to focus on the good things and, always hold on to my faith no matter what, because if you have faith then you have hope, and that hope is all you need.
I've had a magazine page from a snowboarding magazine blutacked on my wall above my computer for about 2 years now with the phrase 'you only get one chance'. Even though I've seen it there everyday for the past 2 years, I don't think I've actually really taken that phrase seriously till this year. I think this year I've treated more opportunities as if there will only be one chance, and I feel better for it. Of course there are still many chances that I have let slip, but I'm working on it, though it is only human nature to have fears.
So the past 6 weeks have been full of ups and downs and I'm determined to have a great holiday.
