I don't quite know how this happened, but I've sort of had this bizarre inner peace wash over me the last week or so. Kind of taoist and hindu sort of contentment with the world with an overwhelming acceptance of chaos in my life. I'm back on track with what I want to do and I think with all the hecticness of the start of the PhD, I was tending to get somewhat bogged down by the little odd thoughts and feelings I have about things. So while I was kind of feeling isolated and alone, decided to call up a whole bunch of friends in one go. Naturally not getting through to many of them on the first goes but I got calls back! Also spending money like there's no tomorrow - shall have to stop that though.. at least I eat nice food now. Being clever and sorted out a savings account to put rent money in and started paying off credit cards as well so it hasn't all gone on tat. Well, not yet anyway!
So.. new degree, now a Red Cross first aid trainee, budding juggler, kickboxing fan and percussionist extraordinaire. AND I have some time to myself. Haven't really been up to much otherwise. Last Friday, my supervisor sent me to London (yay!) for a conference on statistics (boo!) which made for a nice little work-wise wander. Good to see a bit of the outside world I guess. Decided to blow £100 on a gym membership which I do actually plan on using.. at least to use the showers now that the one downstairs is bust anyway :P Figure I can get some exercise while I'm at it haha! Anyway, I've forgotten what day it is.
