So last night I was whisked away to the Barbican in London to see Ludovico Einaudi. For any of you who havnt heard of this genius man then i suggest you get onto it! He is a pianist and he was accompanied by various strings, the whole experience was amazing. At the end of each song it was weird, like no-one dared to even breathe, the atmoshpere was incredible. I guess thats what they call 'breath-taking'.
Anywho, to make things all the more enjoyable I was taken by my mum and step-dad and accompanied by my dear friend Krust. What a joy. We even ate grapes in the interval haha.
Apart from this I really dont think there s anything new to report. I have a new photography project which is a contempory narrative. If anyone has any ideas then do let me know; basically I have to explore a contempory issue, anything really.
Woe is certainly not me

'Snakes on a plane'
Well, after what i said yesterday, this very morning I got an acceptance letter from Exeter. I think i should be more excited than I am. I suppose im still confused about where I go as I wasnt really expecting to actually get into Exeter and Im still not sure if thats going to be the best course for me...
Oh well I suppose this just means that the waiting game is over and I can start to really make a firm decision.
Apart from that, today I met up with my wonderful friend Jo. It was most lovely to see her and share a laugh or two. I believe that is all...I am looking forward to having a 'Snakes on a plane' evening this evening. I imagine it will be very funny for reasons I cannot be bothered to explain haha.
until next time...

Challenges...
So here it is, post number two.
I wasn't sure I would actually use this but weirdly I keep doing things and thinking about how I should write that on my blog. Now it has come to a new post I can't think what those things were; perhaps if i just write then I will remember...
Been a busy half term; as soon as I unpacked my stuff I had packed it again to begin a journey to the land of the Ox. aka Oxford. It was in this land of spires and universities that I stayed with my most beautiful sister.
It was a strange visit, its odd to live someone elses life for a few days I always think. Its weird to think the intimidating masses of new people in a room to me, are to someone else a group of people who are individually cherished and mean so much on a daily basis. I must say I spent most the time feeling like a lemon but they were all absolutely lovely, there were just so many of them!
Sister dear is currently doing a year at KBC [kings bible college] so i tagged along attending lectures and lunches etc. It really opened my eyes to how much of the Bible I really just have not got a clue about which seems pretty scary but then is also quite an exciting challenge...
Whilst I was there I was also challenged to identify an area that needed breakthrough in my life; as usual I guess this comes down to the old Uni chestnut. I dont think ive ever prayed about anything so much in my life and I fully want to go where God wants me, but at the same time I get so caught up in praying etc that I just forget to listen for any answers! So this is my challenge for the next week, two weeks or however long it takes... I shall take time to listen, and actually give God a chance to help me out!
For anyone interested the situation so far is as follows: Kent-unconditional, Kingston- Unconditional, Plymouth-Conditional on passing foundation, Exeter- no reply as yet. [Its all hanging on the exeter reply!]
So yes, thats my ramble over, probaby doesnt make intersting reading but this is actually fairly therapeutic writing it all out! Words of knowledge are quite welcome lol, [yes Lord this is a hint...]

The one and hopefully not only...
Welcome to my first blog...
Though as yet I do not have much of interest to say, im sure this will come in handy one day, and i thought i would lay claim to my name in the web address. Haha just read that back and it pretty much rhymed...small things eh.
I shall fill you in on a small part of the world of me at the current moment:
1) Life has too many options I fear...waiting to hear from Uni's you are pretty sure you dont even want to go to anymore is mildly un-nerving.
2) I have just arrived home from Exeter whence I stayed with my wonderful friend Parry. I must say i do love my friends alot, and if it were not for them, my head may literally fall off.
3) God is amazing, and he knows and cares about every aspect of us both physically and emotionally. Which, quite frankly, is a most splendid thing to know, to say the very least.
Well thats enough to 'wet the whistle' for now I think.
Peace out my friends.
