Feels like home.
Relationships. Life is all about relationships. The good, the bad and the well, just plain strange. I once heard someone say that women often judge the quality of their lives by the quality of their relationships. I have to say that I agree, for me at least.
I love being with my friends. I love being able to be around them, able to let my hair down and be me. I love being able to just muck around and be silly or ask the serious questions of life and feel totally at home. It feels so natural. It feels like family.
I've been to places where, though I've talked the whole night and met a whole bunch of people, I've left feeling like I know no one. I don't have a problem with small talk and getting to know people, not at all. I just think that conversation needs to eventually get past the surface stuff. It can be so hard in social situations, but maybe thats because of my interest to rather know who someone is, rather than what they have been up to. It can be frustrating because I think people are so interesting and I just want to know who they are.
I love my friends and I love Ruth, they feel like home to me. If the quality of ones life is based on the quality of ones relationships then these are the ones I want to base my life around.

Summer and the days coming.
I slept all day today. I think my body needed to recover from 6 weeks of intensive teaching prac. I can't believe that its over, but I've also been hanging to relax and do things at my own pace.
I've got so much planning to do for next year, I'm basically teaching 6 subjects, 4 of them are upper schools subjects, and 2 of them are new courses of study. Yes, I really have my work cut out for me next year. Its going to be challenging but I'm looking forward to the challenge to grow. Amoungst that though, I do plan to enjoy myself and I already have some things on the agenda I have planned to acomplish this summer:

- Learn to fingerpick and play the guitar better
- Read more books
- Learn more about God and have a better understanding about why I believe christianity and a real relationship with God is true
- Teach myself Macromedia Flash
- Build a website
