It is September 11th today so for all those involved, please have my sympathy. It was a great tragedy and for someone who has lived with terrorism forever, it is truly awful. I hope that maybe one day all forms of terrorism is destroyed, not just terrorism that affects the West (specifically America.) because there are so many incarnations of it throughout the world that are not being addressed. I’m happy that the idea of stopping terrorism is so prevalent from the big powers since I’ve lived with terrorism living directly in one of the “hot spots” of Belfast and it, of course, is a big deal to me. Maybe now something will happen to stop it, not just America intervening in Iraq to stop it, but something actually worthwhile for the entire world.
And maybe I’m just a dreamer?
I actually had a really good day today, and it feels wrong, which is always nice especially after the hectic, hellish week that dared to happen last week. I feel content, almost euphoric and I’m glad that I’m finally chilling into my routine.
You see, coming back after two months and knowing it is my last, albeit most trying, year made it incredibly difficult to pull up the metaphorically socks and get stuck into A2s. I was very frustrated last week due to the fact I couldn’t get back into my rhythm which led to many arguments and rash decisions.
I think I’m finally adjusting which, I’m sure you’ll agree, is a mighty fine thing :-)
Good day today. Politics was great, I love Politics. I love having a teacher who just tells you what to do an expects you to do it and better. And You Do It because you don’t want to disappoint him. It is very odd but it works. And I love the subject. So yes, good start to the day.
Teacher wasn’t in for History. May not have mentioned my “Only girl in the class” status (Although, I still love history) but it means I’m very much a loner. I did homeworks, read text book and eventually coloured in my file-block in a nice, black-pen doodle.
Spanish was good, we’re going to the cinema on Thursday to see the new Pedro Almodóvar film which should be good. I’m not a massive fan of Spanish film, simply because there are very few chances to see it, but anything that gets me away from school rocks. And we’re doing “Back to basics” grammar which is fantastic as my Spanish grammar is, frankly, atrocious.
Lyndsey forgot to flip her seat down in the lecture theatre and landed on her rear to the delight of everyone. It was fantastic!
Planning holiday to Austria with my friends which is making me all excited and ready to jitter my own way there. I’m really looking forward to that. I finished reading Chocolat by Joanne Harris last night and it has just given me the desire to move. I want to feel the pull of the wind telling you which direction to take. I want to just go anywhere, everywhere.
No school tomorrow. I’m taking the day off to visit a local university and sample the local area. Almost half of the year is going so I’m pretty sure the teachers will have a bit of a panic attacking coming into class and finding like 2 people there. I’m not too keen on going to Coleraine, given the fact I fell in complete and utter love with Queens, but I think I’ll go to see.
I think I’ll bank in on my good mood and get a lovely, luxurious bubble bath, maybe even have a cup of something hot and steamy, before getting an early night.
I’m glad things are starting to get on track again. I get so frustrated when things get out of my control or, even worse, my own weakness stops me from acting to full capacity. I’m very happy now to work at a high level from now on. It took longer than I expected but now I’m perfectly happy and content with the world.
Tra la, la, la, la
Argento.
