So vacation time has finally and officially kicked in. The beginning was a little rough, with its downs and even lower days. I have gone through it and now just being in a general mood of "I don’t know what will happen but what comes around comes around". Last Tuesday I felt rather lonely at home, you know those days that you are the only one at home and there is nothing you can do and no one to talk to. The weather looked fine after dropping my brother off at the airport at 6am in the pouring rain for his internship at a cargo ship in Hammerfest. I decided to invite some friends to the beach and enjoy some well deserved booze and a beautiful sunset. Due to the fact that I asked them a little late to come over only one could show up, not that I really minded.
So we went to the beach with a bag loaded with booze
and food and a bike that wouldn’t work. My great friend Noodles did not know how to fix a bike, well he did but in the end I had to fix my bike he was riding on, not once, but four times!! I call that girlpower! (I just know that my mental penis is longer than his ;])Finally there we enjoyed the view and the indepth talk about what has happened in the last few weeks, you know relationships and all that kind of ramble.
My parents also finally decided that they wanted to go on vacation to the south of England, I actually opposed that idea since my whole study has gone down the drain and I was not waiting to spend two weeks in England while in the back of my mind I would know that I would never be able to study it. Secretly, England is the only country I want to be in, spend the rest of my life in. I am an odd duck after all. Yesterday we (me and my parents) had the odd conversation about what I was going to do after the summer. I knew with this study being a total failure I had to think of something. I am not ready to start another study, especially not since I only want to start another one when I am sure what I want to do. I came to the conclution that I just have to put myself through a year off and work to earn some money and spend some times on writing, playing violin and education myself on several matters and of course visiting open days of universities and colleges.
So, tomorrow (Saturday) I am off to England and will take all my new clothes with me and at least try to enjoy the country, the food and especially the language. I do have to make sure that things won’t bring me down because I can recall a certain sleepless night in a cottage in Northern England in which I cut myself out of frustration. Some things just never seem to go away, but I will try to stay clear from now on, I am trying to eat healthy but with my parents making dinner it won’t always work. Life is what you make it. Life is also a bitch. I don’t know what to do with it but now at least I know what is coming ahead.
Things to look forward to
- Two weeks in England
- Seeing lots of sights, culture and history
- Thinking of gifts I want for my birthday
- Surprise the people I love, aprreciate and do not want to live without
