| Tanzania - Africa - 7th July till 28th July |

From 9pm tomorrow I will be on my way to the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. I'm more excited that words can say as I sit here with my bag packed to bursting with the most wonderous equipment. I've never had the need for a Thermarest or a Penknife or Water purifying tablets. This whole thing is so surreal.
I've been brought up suffocated by bubble wrap and never have I ever been allowed to do anything like this. There were tears and fights when I first brought up the concept with my parents... Now 9 months later here I am, a day before my flight.
There is so much I plan to get out of this, and there is so much more I will get without even realising. I hope to be more appreciative of the little things. Running water, daily showering, the convienience of a fridge with food, a warm bed, security. I'm out of my depth with this and I think that's what makes me tremble with excitement.
I'm really gonna miss everyone, 3 weeks is a long time and they will feel even longer being so far away from home. But as Emily says, Severance is good. I'll come back a different person.
I can't wait.
Let's go!

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is Politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way. I'm the head of the family, so call me The President. Your mother is the administrator of the money so we call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the People. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense."
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy say's to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "The President is screwing the Working Class while the
Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in Deep Shit." |

There is something highly liberating about the concept of colour-coded folders and detailed accurate revision plans. No more excuses or self fights. This time it's serious. |

Un rêve peut mourir mais on n’enterre jamais l‘avenir
This coffee is amazingly bad for me. 3 spoons of instant stuff (Kenco of course), 4 sugars and cream. I so don't care.
Todays Computing exam went very well indeed. Much better than last time and that's what counts.
Human Health and Disease tomorrow. Not so good.
Trying not to think about the A2 papers. I feel I'm learning a year ahead of what I am able to do, but we'll see.
The University offers are coming through so it's looking hopeful. Unfortunatly not the Universities I actually want to attend but it's nice to know there is back up :).
Hope everything is going okay for everyone at the moment.
Take care x |
