Some thoughts

---

I've tried my hand at the whole blog thing before, with rather depressing results. It's surprising how difficult it is to write something that is worth reading, and not just some self-centred piece of garbage, when one is writing about oneself. Fiction, I am good at, but when it comes to depictions of real events, I still have a long way to go.

In two weeks, however, I leave for England, to start my second year of studying international relations and politics at the University of Sheffield. I've been wanting to keep some sort of journal about my stay there, to remember it by (let's face it, we all get older and I think my memory is already starting to suffer at 21! then again, it's been crap for most of my life...). Anyway, so here I am.

Also, I'm having these wild ideas, that are slowly beginning to take the shape of something resembling plans, of travelling next summer. Maybe volunteer, as it would be interesting with the bonus of looking very impressive on my CV. Maybe just travel. I don't know, but I'm thinking, actively. If so, the tour would most likely go to Asia, possibly all the way to New Zeeland. But we'll see. I've never travelled outside of Europe, and not really independently (unless you count going to University in a foreign country, of course - and I do!), before, so it'll be a challenge, but I'm a firm believer in that common sense and respect for your fellow human beings will serve you well wherever you go.

So here's to future hopes and aspirations!
