confused 1.01


wish that i was somewhere else.
i am finding it really hard coming back to a place where there are actual laws and rules to bind me an my daily day. a month ago i was running around like a chook with no head doing what i liekd when i liked (well, slightly guided by moral convention). and i was in another country. now i'm grounded, left bewildered in a place where people expect things from me other than to meet me at the pub in 2 hours or to have fun and be relaxed.
i dont know, i'm finding it hard to relax.
in other news, first week back at the U-ni has been reasonably uneventful, according to my more moderate drinking rather than full blown alcoholism. I've also been attending all my classes, paying attention, and actually liking some of it too (god forbid!). i think this year will be hard, harder than last year. so i'm thinking of taking some of it in another country, possibly in central america. but you knwo what? i dont think it will hapen in the end. if i was analysing myself from someone elses point of view i'd say that i've just got the travel bug and i dont want to stay too long in one place. global nomad maybe? not quite

hey ben,

i have never been bitten by the travel bug myself, but i have quite a few close friends (and a sister!) who have... and they all found that when they got back that (a) they were depressed and (b) they wanted to go travelling again asap. i think its a matter of coming back from something amazing to boring old 'normal' which usually includes a (un)healthy dollop of responsibility.

you'll get back into the swing of things... promise!

love

nic
