The End of "Adventures"

It's been a week since I've returned from my latest work experience. This time I traveled further north for about 6 hours to some remote location that's pretty much forgotten by the world. I was surprised to find that there were shops and stuff there- I guess it's just a self-contained town. The town was beautiful, but there wasn't much to see if you're not into natural scenery. Definitely not much to entertain either- but I guess it was nice to take a break in the country. I mean, it was always one of those places I'd wanted to be on a warm Autumn afternoon.

So I had a good time in the country, but I didn't have internet for two weeks and stress was starting to build. I had a lot of work being built up but I couldn't really do much without internet. I don't really know how people lived without it- then again I don't think people before me had to be thrust into such dire circumstances... who the hell expects papers to be written while you're out in the country on work experience?

Now it's catch up time, but exams are only about a month away. I have to finish two assignments and a shit-tonne of paperwork before exams come around, so I can actually study. I think this year is just totally unaccommodating- as if life wasn't hard enough on its own, stuff just get piled on and on and on and there are some days where I just don't want to get out of bed. For real though, my biological clock is set for 7am, but I lie in bed, refusing to face reality until about 11 or 12. I don't know why everything is so HARD but I'm sure other people out there have it harder. I'm just personally going through a bit of a rough time.

Mmm, I don't know if there's much to say about work experience. It was pretty much the same as last time except nobody schooled me in philosophy this round. It was kind of depressing actually, the people I spent time with seemed rather cynical and washed up, but I don't know if it's because I'm too young to understand the futility of my struggles. In my mind it's never over until it's actually over, or until you give up trying. My opinion will probably change given enough time, but I'd like to retain the privileges of my youth for as long as possible.

Anyway the only good thing that's come out of all this is that I no longer have any other episodes of work experience for the rest of the semester- I think I'd had quite enough of travel and all that. I like being home, where I have a nice warm bed, as much tea as I want to drink and internet.

Let's just keep struggling forwards, yeah?
