I send you messages from the other side... beyond the fragile curtain whih veils the transition to University...

Hi guys

It's been a while since I've written anything up here, and I have to admit, it would be very difficult to give you any kind of adequate summize of what's happened between my last entry and now. In a blunt way, the entire world order has more or less been changed, and reflectively the bulk of it is for the better. Costs have been incurred, mistakes made, perhaps even long-fought battles were entirely in vain, but on the whole I'm happy with the outcome. I dare say I'm...contented. Happy. Enjoying the general state of things.

University is great stuff: it's like a bizarre trial-run of adulthood, while you still get to have the perks of still being in a scolastic environment. I'm suprised at how directed the work is, I was expecting more freedom... but I'm not going to complain, I still have an awesome library at my disposal Oh, the journals...

People-wise it's been really good. It's certainly highlighed the mistake I made at secondary school, with my choice to go to an all-girls'. My companionship is now exclusively male, and for the first time in a long time I feel socially satisfied. More worryingly [for me, anyway] I've found a boyfriend who I can't help but admit is pretty damned wonderful in every way. It's all good. The whole experience is really a lot like, well, some kind of fairy-tale moment. Not that there aren't people at home I'm missing [read: a /person/ at home I'm missing], but I'm certainly all the more richer here.

I'm vowing that this year I'm not running from things that scare me. I'm looking stuff in the eye.... and then running away The important thing is /trying/, really.

I hope you all are faring well, where-ever you may fare.

Yay! I'm so happy for you hun, I think there must be a magical charm at uni where men are concerned. Glad you're enjoying the work, don't listen when people tell you can pass without reading anything, tis a lie!! I wish you every happiness

Just read your new space...when did I call you a camp transvestite?


Good phrase though, and I'm chuffed to be featured so highly on your intro!

Grab every moment and enjoy it to the full. Test everything and anything. Well most things anyway. Oh and be careful if you have roll along journal cases that you don't squish a lecturer in between them.

Enjoy it ... it soon dissapears.

Pinny, I think you resorted to that insult back when you thought I was a man

Too true Unc... but frankly, I don't intend to leave... EVER

Unc she hasn't replied to your post do you mean me opti?

OPTI! Yes, I meant Opti... I'm so sorry, I'm blaming the essay load for completely messing my eyesight... *shakes fist at Cartesian Dualism* Sorry about that!

thats ok apologies accepted

How are things going with you, anywho?

"Cartesian Dualism"

Okay, this Cartesian, does it refer to Descartes or someone/thing else. Sorry to mention this as I'm sure you want a break but I've always wondered...

things are could be better, could be a lot worse

"Okay" is a good place to be... it's nice and stable at "okay". If it's "very good" or "very bad" you know things are going to change real soon, and you never know in what direction...

Cartesian Dualism... Yes, that is bloody Descartes. I don't like Descartes much. Annoyingness. But yeah, a brief summize of Cartesian Dualism for you: The world is made of two sorts of things, those being mind and matter. Matter exists in space, and mind exists in magic pixie land. At least, as far as I can see, that's how the argument runs.

So I think therefore I am a magic pixie? Works for me!!

Exactly it!

Ah, university certainly is great. I leaned a lot more than Environmental Science, that's for sure. Very pleased to find it's going well for you

From the real Unc, honestly

not so sure about that

Oh I am, honest, really I am

You got a boyfriend?!!

Ok...was just trying to get in on the action.

Who are you missing?
