Well its been a while - but then again it always has been in these sort of situations i guess.
Things here are going ok snowed under with work which is to be expected third year and all. Been ill, lying in bed hacking up different body parts etc but i think thats slowly going.
Part of me admires people who have such drive and direction in their lives. Take my history friend Sarah for example has wanted to be a teacher since she was a small child and now is able to fufil her dream and (as far as i know) will be fulfilled by the whole excercise. I on the otherhand know only vaguely which direction i want to go in. You may have noticed that it varies from visit home to visit home. I can't help but feel that those who are truly driven get what they want. I know a masters would be a good option for me but i don't know how to acheive it. I don't stand to get any help from mum and dad so its all going to have to be paid for by myself and whatever loans i can get. Hell i don't even have a real place to live. Staying at home is not a real option as there is blatantly not enough room for both rachel and me to study and i can't afford to live in leicester. I can only think i can take a year off and earn some money. I just worry that i'll get sucked into the rat race and there i'll be stuck, dragging my carcass unfulfilled around a wheel made of my own missed opportunities.
Oh well i'm off to dublin on friday i'll take loads of pictures and do a huge and i mean huge picture post.
Manhugs
