Catharsis

It has been almost a year since my last post to this blog. There have been ups and downs, laughs and tears. Three months into the new year and I am back to where I started once more.

My health is much improved than this time last year, although I'm am still no where near what I would call fit. Once more I am home alone on a Saturday night with nothing better to do than write to my heart's content.

I'm fairly certain my friends have, for reasons unknown, decided to go out drinking without me. Well, to be accurate, I know they were planning on going out drinking. Whether they decided to exclude me is where my uncertainty lies. Whilst I'm fairly quiet and don't drink all that much, it would have been nice to at least been asked and therefore thought of. So instead, here I am listening to music, writing on my blog and adding new material to my fiction.

It is somewhat disheartening to think I made more friends in the three months I spent in the US than I have done in any other part of my life.

That trip abroad has left me with wanderlust and a desire to see a little more of the world. Now would be a good time to do it, as I will be returning to University in the autumn. The question remains; should I spend the money and live a little or spend the time brushing up on my skills?

My heart says live for the moment, but my head says otherwise. The knowledge I once held has deteriorated somewhat and will need work before I return to academia. There is plenty of work that can be done before then and some hard choices needed to be made concerning the subject options available to me.

Alex.
