the bane of my (and many others) life

1 more. That's what I’ve been waiting to say for these past few weeks. 1 more.

1 MORE EXAM LEFT!!!

If you hadn’t guessed, its exam time for me here in England, and I, along with thousands of others are going through the excruciating pain of thinking you’ve revised everything, only to find, when opening the paper, you feel like you don't know enough.

a rant about shyness and being an lonely child

Loneliness.



We've all experienced it one time or another, and as I sit here in the library in the middle of lunch break, I'm starting to feel this is my territory. No one knows I'm here. Not even the Librarian, who sees all, hasn't an inkling there is another living presence in the room.  But I like that. And Im used to it.

Fire

Yesterday afternoon, just before 1pm, the local forest caught fire, and even though its on the other side of the small village I live in, the smoke was billowing across the sky and we couldnt see to the end of the street. The street at the end of my road has been closed off by the police and the atmosphere when you go outside is so thick it hurts your eyes. And I wont start on the smell. Praying the 150 firemen and women can stop the flames- its a little frightening really, just how close it is.

there is a fire engine here, just covered up so much by the smoke

More than 24 hours later and its still going.
