Hi
Once again, it has been a while since I updated my beloved blog. Life, is, well, lifey. I'm getting there slowly. Bad things still seem to be happening to me, but I'm coping a lot better, in fact I came home smiling from a not so great day. Money is the main issue at the moment. Everything I'm earning and am yet to earn is going into my dentist bill. Word of warning kids, private dentists are expensive, and cola is bad for you. You work so hard, and yet you don't get to enjoy the rewards - it gets a girl down sometimes. I was hoping to get a bit of a financial buffer for my third year, and maybe a bit of spending money for when I go to the States, but it looks like that won't be happening soon =( Oh well, it's a valuable lesson I suppose.
Work is going, knock on wood, quite well. I like the people I work with, and they seem to be happy with me (always the most important thing for me), and I'm helping people everyday which, despite my I hate people and the world attitude, is something I like to do, if only for the fact that I get to solve problems.
So, with no money, and a tough 2 years ahead, I seem to be feeling quite chipper. I went through a rough patch where I was getting annoyed to those closest to me, and I'm coming out of that patch now, things are looking brighter, even if they aren't really all that good. I always keep a slightly negative slant on things, because I like to keep on top, and continue to improve. I hate these parents that tell their kids how fabulous they are, say, at singing, and the kid has this positive attitude about how great a singer they are, then they sing in front of someone else, and that person tells them they are awful - that kid's dreams are shattered because the parent told them to be positive and believe in themselves. My view on things is - if you expect the worse, things can only get better. If you go into a situation expecting the worst thing possible, your expectation will either be met, or you will end up with a better result - no disappointment there.
Right now I want to be that tone deaf kids singing my lungs out. Just for a bit. I can strive for greater things next week, right now I'm going to be happy I'm alive, and all those simple things.
