Bah!

Hello all, It's been a while (a year come april) and a lot has happened and a lot has changed in that time so where to begin. Well, for a start, the family member in my last post has died (he was diagnosed in January and died on May 10th, the day before my first major exam (silver lining: he wasn't suffering for long and he was looked after by my parents throughout, plus everyone was there for him. From what I hear, the send-off was fitting. I didn't make it as the funeral was on the day I flew to Austria, he effectively banned me from turning up as he didn't want to ruin my holiday there.))

Me and my girlfriend have been to Kenya on a holiday, which was incredible. If you wanna look at pictures, then look at my flickr photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/52810304@N06 here :-p

I started my 2nd year at uni and have taken up modules which I've been looking forward to, especially Forensic Anthropology and Archaeology. All I ask is that you don't call me Bones because of it!

So why am I writing this up at 3am? Is it because I can't sleep? Well, yeah that has something to do with it, unless I sleep type. Is it because I have something on my mind? Yes, yes it is. Is it because I'm hungry? No.

The thing that's on my mind is Depression. Now, I wouldn't say I'm depressed as some people I know, but I do go through phases. The doctor suspects I have S.A.D although it hasn't been confirmed, mainly due to me not organising any follow up appointments, but hey-ho that's life. My moods are weird, right now I think I'm going through a down phase and just feel quite shit tbh, but I know that in a week or a couple of days it will pass and I will be cheery again.

People who know me keep asking what is wrong, and that's the worst part. I can't really tell them what's the matter with me, or why I'm pretty down as I just don't know.

And with that unloaded I feel like I should get to bed as I'm up again in 4 hours for about 10 hours of lecture. Happy days (starting with Evolution :-D)

as my dad would say... Keep Smiling
