Hello one and all, welcome back after the Christmas and New Year period. I'm sure you've all missed my sporadic insights into life over the past month.
Firstly, I would like to dedicate this - little as it is - to Dave Strong who we very sadly lost early into the new year and to his family who have lived up to their names and more. He was a great man who I admired for his whole ethic towards how he lived his life and he's an example many people could learn from.
So. I myself have just returned to University, said hello to everyone and exchanged stories of the holidays and began unpacking. As usual I find myself procrastinating, with little wish to put my bedding on and all that jazz. But then taking up a place in front of the computer I've realised just how little there is to be doing. After being home for the longest time since being at University it's odd to come back to the silence which is my room and the contained world within. As usual I find myself writing to you to quench the boredom.But, whilst on the subject of being back, I'm resolved this semester to do a damn sight more work than I did in the first one (but lets be fair, that shouldn't be too difficult).
The time off though was much welcomed, and it was nice to see those that I haven't in a while. A lot has happened in the past month really, some of it very good, and some of it very sad. I've witnessed some incredible bravery and some inspirational strength of character whilst becoming a very lucky man in the process of it all.
Now of course I have the great fun of exams, for which I am woefully unprepared and thinking maybe I should have listened more, but oh well, I'm sure it'll be fine. I imagine that I am by no means in this boat by myself and those of you reading this will know who you are. (Not you Fahim, you're the student equivalent of a pack horse with the amount you do).
Anyway! I really should form my room into some semblance of order. Or I could go make another cup of tea?
