Suz who? Oh yeh....

It's been months, I know. Nearly 7 months I think. But I was in Colombia and internet wasn't entirely easy. Now I'm back in England, where internet access is far too easy and I seem to be spending too much time here, again.

I spent 6 months and 3 days in Bogota, Colombia, working in a Children's home. Was it worth it? Hell yeh it was. I fell in love with the whole thing. With the kids, with the work, with the passion, with the dream. I'm going back in the summer for 4 weeks. The term 'gap year' is technically how you would describe this year - a gap from 'reality', right? I don't think it entirely applies to this, because this is what I want my reality to be. Yeh it won't be for atleast another 6 years, but, after uni, I really want to move back there and work there. I realised that after having been there about 3 weeks, and throughout the following 5 months, I never lost the dream. I am SO going back there!

For the moment, I'm being quite lazy, staying up too late, getting up too late. might have a job soon though, working in a local theatre.

And then in September I'm heading off to Glasgow to go to uni, studying nursing. What a stress that was. If I learned anything while being abroad, it was this - DON'T APPLY TO UNI FROM A DIFFERENT COUNTRY. I wasn't in control of any of it and it stressed me out no end. But I made it in the end, and everything is sorted. I don't think I could have applied more blindly though - haven't seen the city, haven't seen the uni, haven't seen the accomodation, don't know a great deal about the course - but, everything worked so it must be a God-thing, and my dream is to work in the Children's Vision International Clinic as a nurse. And I can't do that without this 4 (or 3) year nursing degree. So it's gotta be right.

That's about it for now folks! Really, I'm just staying up coz I'm buying a t-shirt off Ebay. And the thing doesn't finish for another 29 minutes. So I'll hang out here. What fun!
