Where is home??!!

What? It's that time of year already? How? I was just getting settled! I can't believe my 2nd 1st term is over already. It really doesn't feel like I'm going 'home'. Even as I sit in my room looking at boxes packed for the off...

Well this term has been a real mixed bag. There have been times of sadness, times of anger, times of illness, and most importantly times of elation. University seems to have a strange effect on life. It creates a cacoon or buble than no-one outside of university can enter or understand. Within this bubble emotions run high and change frequently! Half of the time it is difficult to know whether you are coming or going! But alas. I still love it and wish I had just returned as I could probably summon enough enthusiam to unpack what I've packed! As much as I like being at 'home' I can't help wanting the freedom, responsibility, and friends that are here in Durham. It is far too deep, depressing, and disheartening to think that this will eventually all be over. I will have to give up life as I know it and maybe grow up a little. What's even more daunting is that time isn't too far away. By the middle of next term I will have reached the halfway milestone. Ok. Enough of this dreariness.

I hope everyone has a fantastic break, a 'Merry' Christmas ('*:•Hic•:*'), and a Happy New Year!! Seen you all for a bright and optimistic 2007!!!

...Edinburgh was fantastic by the way!! Despite the customary rain, wind, and in some places rather steep topography (it's built on an extinct volcano you know...but that's another story!)! The day was pretty much spent shopping and wandering around Princes St or the Christmas market, but I did experience a bit of culture shock as we wasted an hour or two looking around the National Galleries!!
