I am. I am indeed. But do you remember, even if you’re fifty-three, that feeling of school starting and being swept away with life and just cruising along for the ride? That’s what it’s been like. Hectic. Pandemonic. Chaotic. Fun. I miss last year, I do. I miss my old classes and my brilliant German teacher Mrs. J, and not having to think about what to wear in the morning (no uniform in the Sixth Form)…but as much as I miss them, I love Sixth Form. Sometimes I am filled with an overwhelming sadness that my years at school are ending. It’s bittersweet though, because it is coupled with a hope and a love for what is to come.

 My bike ride was GREAT! great, great, great. The atmosphere was just wonderful and it was so lovely to cycle past all those familiar landmarks without a red double decker of a tour bus blocking your view. Seriously it should be no traffic EVERY day….not sure how pragmatic that would be though! I especially loved cycling through Blackfriars Underpass – the NOISY zone – where everyone whooped and yelled in the echoey tunnel and rang their bicycle bells to high heaven! It was so much fun though. And a great photographic challenge. :) I am definitely signing up next year. For sure!

My friend M and I by Cleo’s Needle…on the Embankment. I’m the blonde :P

 Other than that I am reading Carl Bernstein’s biography of Hillary Clinton and it is brilliant! I’m not a huge fan of her, I like her so-so but I don’t love her or anything. It’s so well-written though, and so lovely to hear about her childhood. I support Barack Obama (woooo! shame I’m English and too young to vote) …. but anywho. Government and Politics is fast becoming my favourite subject. I love it…so current. I want to be a politician someday. Maybe. To feel as if I am shaping history. Even a tiny fragment. Even to change just one person’s life for the better for one single moment. That would be enough for me. :) And I’m quite excited because I just ordered ‘The Audacity of Hope’ by Obama and a biography of RFK from Amazon….yay! I am absorbing myself in books. School has reinvigorated my love for learning – not that it ever went anywhere though – and I just want to educate myself so much, to reach my full potential. I just don’t know why I love to learn so fanatically. But I do. And I love that too.

 Thanks for all your comments…apologies again that I haven’t been commenting much. I had seven essays to write last week so it was all a little frantic. Things seem to be slowing down now though. Phew! I hardly have time to think, let along photograph.

Have a good week.
