Drifting...Posted on 3/5/2008 at 05:58 - Post CommentI seem to be drifting slightly from my friends at home at the moment, it's for no real reason I suppose, simply because I don't see them every day like I used to. The biggest change I suppose has come with one friend, who I used to be closer to than anyone else. Unfortunately, she's moved to London and upon seeing her for the first time since November, I realised that she isn't the same girl that I used to know. Now, she's into drugs and all night raves and looking down upon anything that other people do. I have no objection to drug use, as long as it's moderate, but I don't see the point in boasting about it, as she proceeded to do for the rest of the night. It made me feel inadequate because I didn't have similar stories to relay, until I realised that I'm having the time of my life at uni, and I don't need drugs to do that. Yes, I drink, but so do we all. I enjoy it, and I'm not an idiot about it. My friends here are always laughing and having fun, and that makes me happy, and I don't need people in my life that are going to make me feel otherwise.
Now that I've finished with that rant, apologies for it being there in the first place, I have worryingly little to write about. I recently chose the units that I want to study next year, including Medieval Europe, Early Modern England, Medicine and Gender, The Holocaust and Latin. I'm really looking forward to the latin unit actually, it's not like anything I've studied before and should help me on the way to the Masters course in Medieval history that I'm aiming for at the end of this degree.
But enough history talk! You can tell that there's worryingly little else going on in my life at the moment...how tragic. I'm currently taking part in 'Fast for Justice', run by the Jubilee Debt Campaign, which is working to cancel world debt. However, due to being in the middle of my exam period, I decided to simply give up a few regulars in my diet, as opposed to fasting for a day or two. So, I've given up meat, alcohol and chocolate for the next week. My intention is to take part in the fast fully once I've completed my exams, though, when I don't have to work solidly for days on end. The Jubilee Debt Campaign is well worth being a part of though, I heard about it when I was at Glastonbury Festival last year, and I have to say, I like being a part of something like it. It takes next to no effort to take part in any number of ways. It's good!
It's been the most beautiful day today, but I've been stuck inside for most of it doing this bloody essay. It's my own fault though, I could have done it absolutely ages ago, and instead I'm watching Doctor Who, but I can't resist it, God knows why.
I think I'd better sign off now, not really saying anything of great importance, just blogging for the sake of it really.
