I'm in weather-crazy England at the moment...and hell, gonna be here for the next phase of life, University.
Its been good so far, the sights, the sounds, the place. It was more than what I thought it would be, a really beautiful place, really.
Have been here for almost 2 weeks already, how time flies! Had some troubles adjusting to the life here, but so far, so good. haven't had any unfortunate run-ins yet, and the seemingly ease of transit to the new phase here I can only accredt to my Lord, so thanks be to God.
so, just a short fill-in, I arrived on the 20th, with horrible babies keeping my 13hour flight very eventful. At Heathrow, waited at the airport for about 2-3 hours before I could transit, and thankfully there were no hiccups along the way. Was worried for a moment that I couldn't go through security, lol. Settled in after taking the Uni coach service, and met my 1st friend at reception, Jeremy. (At this point, I'm feeling kinda creeped out doing this like a proper narrative. ) Yea, and well, this fellow was/is instrumental in my adjustment to Newcastle.Was dragged along to the MalSoc meeting, and everything just fell into place from there.
The really strange thing is that now, all my friends are from MalSoc, or are affliated someway. I...have only met a few SG guys around here...its like a joke really, but its not as awkward as I thought it would be. I guess its only as awkward as I make it out to be.
The accomodation is fine, not too shabby, though I hear alot of complains from people who led better lives.
The people...have good racial tolerance I guess...far more than what we have for our "foreign talent"
My interwebz is holding out fine, though playing games through my phone is a little irritating. I wish I could surf "the stuff," but its probably good rehab to quit that shit. (My phone service doesn't allow 18+ plus websites, and I'm still having issues resolving it. :p )
The school, lectures and adminstration is awesome, 1st class institution. Changes are seen, unlike my previous workplace, and the people are committed to academia, teaching and research all.
I love NCL, and I think that this has been the best choice I've made ever since I had control of my life.
My only concern here...to take the steps forward, looking back at the reminders where I've failed before. No past, only the future. I have to make it here. The mission: Failure is not an option.
I just may be falling in love. but that's the romantic in my hoping for a flame to burn again. She's exactly like you, and I'm breaking apart holding myself together.
I can't,won't and probably will never fall in love again. Not till I've forgiven you and definitely not till I've forgiven myself. I look back and I cannot see anything but anger. I look forward and see nothing but the fears that consume me. Stuck in my perpetual world, I'm a puppet, pulled along by strings. I'm so lonely, so so lonely.
