Recent activities

Oh, dear. After going back over my previous posts, I have to say I was either tired, hyper, or just plain silly when I wrote those. Perhaps it was a combination of all three. Anyhow, I've been keeping busy with writing letters to friends, reading, and working, mostly. I've also begun writing a few stories, in the hope of activating my creativity, which has laid dormant for a while.

A friend of mine is here for her graduation and today for lunch we made falafels and tabouli-inspired quinoa salad. I know this isn't much of an update. I'll have to write more later.

New adventures

Sorry I haven't updated in a while! I did warn you that I would be busy and I have never been great at keeping up with a journal. Yes, I compare this to a journal, only it is (obviously) an online journal that everyone can see. 

I am not currently a student at Hartland, due to some unfortunate circumstances and struggles. I canvassed for fourteen weeks, with a three-week break after ten of them (I shall fill you in on that later) and am now working temporarily for Last Generation Magazine. Right now I am indexing articles, which is actually quite enjoyable.

I am currently staying with one of the dearest people on earth to me and am extremely delighted with my circumstances. Although my immediate family is not too happy with where I am working, the support I receive from my friends and their happiness at my presence here makes me more secure in the knowledge that I have made the right decision. Here, I can grow, away from all the influences and temptations that would have surrounded me had I stayed with my family and worked elsewhere.

I do understand my family's reasoning and appreciate their concern for me, but right now, this is the best place for me to be. Here, away from the influences and temptations that I am exposed to when with my family, I can focus on other things that I need to sort out.

Anyway, this is just a little update from me! I will try to write more later.
