So I'm gonna be one big fat clich with this update.
2007 ended with me being really rather disheartened. I felt let down by people I trusted and the teetering edge of optimism fell away rapidly. Most of my blogs got rather repetitively miserable which I hated, but in my defense if you were to meet me in person you wouldn't have been able to...

I've been staring at this page for a while... I think the only thing I can do is leave it blank.
Bleurgh I need to stop over-thinking EVERYTHING!
I need to cheer up and get my shit together.
And I need to re-start being more proactive.
Life seems so grey at the moment, I'm really not a winter person!
I'm gonna go make a nice big mug of hot chocolate and curl up and watch movies.

Today was supposed to be so many things, instead... it was just rather glum. Thanks to not finding out my shifts to the last minute I wasn't able to get something sorted out to promote Amnesty's Greetings Card Campaign which I'd hoped to do today, it being Human Rights Day an' all.
So I knew I was going to go up to London to...

So, I've come to realise that I've built my walls up pretty high. I am petrified of getting close to anyone and yet I often feel lonely. I know it's not good for me to live like this but in my present situation to try and change things seems rather hopeless and therefore it's better to just carry on as I am. On the other...

Awwwww 
Break those walls down missy and open yourself up to people! If you never let people in then you're likely to pass by that special person! Have a good weekend
Break those walls down missy and open yourself up to people! If you never let people in then you're likely to pass by that special person! Have a good weekend I'm torn. As if I didn't have enough decisions to make: courses vs jobs, I've now been put in contact with someone who can help me find a teaching position in Thailand. Yes I do realise there are plenty of companies that do all that, but that's part of the problem. I don't know which ones are reputable. But I've got a whole lot of...

hmmm, I know the sensible head always bangs on about careers etc but there's a whole lot more to life, especially whilst young n carefree! Besides - what charity would see time teaching in a less developed country as a bad point on a CV?!x
timskin:
yeah i know but if you end up approaching charities with a degree, travelling and foreign teaching under your belt at 23 that sounds pretty good to me!! doesn't strike me as a particularly "young" field to get in to anyway.
If you can, then do...you shan't regret it!! I'd go tomorrow!! sod it!

XI'm feeling a little frustrated. This time last year I was booking up and sorting out my trip which I was thoroughly looking forward to. This year I find myself with a very uncertain future. I have various courses I need to decide between depending on what area of the charity sector I want to focus on. Or not take one at all. And if...

Hey ya!
Yeah i had seen that they are coming over, more than half of the buggers have died since the documentary (Downside of regrouping a bunch of 80year olds!) Very sweet of you to remember though.
How are you doing?....very jealous of your trip! x

haha, that seems to be the downside of going away - nowhere else seems quite as grey as home! Any firm plans or just pondering??
I'm not quite back at uni but i will be - The course I'm on is part-time but gives me guaranteed entry to the ba in canterbury (which i've already been told I have got) so it's counting down to it....bout time I figure, had quite enough of the day job!!x

Time flies.
Had a brilliant day out in London with some of my uni mates, I hadn't realised how much I missed them! And now I'm ill and feeling all sorry for myself I wish I was back with them all. Cross fingers after christmas... Went to see the Lee Miller exhibition at the V&A which I thoroughly enjoyed and made me want to pick...

Thanks for the text the other day Very wise
Very wise All sorts of smiling at the moment. Nothing in particular has happened and yet I can't help feeling things are on the up. What's really cool is that my mate Rachelle is feeling exactly the same so we found ourselves grinning like idiots on Saturday in the pub.
Ok so some things have happened that are good, they're not huge or amazing but I guess...

The more I look at the charity jobs listings the worse I feel at the moment! I won't let it deter me from at least trying to get somewhere with it but it does dent my optimism. There's an event in London covering working with charities on Friday though so I shall be once again using my day off to spend it in the big...

Yet another member of staff has hurt themselves, not at work I hasten to add. It means that I've been moved from being a ground foor person to dividing my time between first and second. I never have liked being on these floors I always put it down to not knowing the sections well enough but I've realised it's not that at all. It's something...

Thank you very much, I have always enjoyed reading your journals too!
I admire you so much for making the effort to take such a direct approach to human rights issues, I know there is so much more I could do, but haven't yet. You, however are really getting your teeth in to it, which is so inspiring. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles at home and hope your Mum eases up on your Brother.
Good luck with everything and take care.

~ I know people try to live without regrets and I think it's a great ethos but do people who say they have none really mean it? I mean honestly, is there nothing about their life that they regret? When I think about it there's probably a few things I regret having not done but they're pretty inconsequential and I haven't ever really...

I would have no problem going to the ballet at all, but it's not something I would probably do on my own.
