Yea I would take a years break, perhaps go travelling, earn a bit of money and do whatever takes my fancy!

I agree, it is very fulfilling when hard work pays off :) Sounds like your getting far with your music, it's nice to be getting paid too! Lol don't worry about late replies, I'm pretty bad at checking my mail so its cool :)

Take care xxx

Wow thats pretty cool! Yea there will be lots of freedom once you graduate, I can't wait to finish college and hopefully go on a gap year! It will be nice to not be pinned down by education.

I also take biology and psychology. I don't particularly like biology cause its very sciency but I do like the challenge and it feels good when I work hard on it. I really enjoy psychology, my teacher is really enthusiastic so it gets me going too!

Thats pretty lame that it's compulsory but I guess you just gotta go with it! Wow thats pretty cool, yea I can imagine something like that shouldn't be rushed but I wish you lots of luck and I hope it all goes well :)

Thats amazing, I didn't know you were doing concerts, I'm glad your sharing your hard work. I'm so glad things are improving for you, they are for me too, I have had so many positive realisations and experiences recently. Things are really really shifting.

Take care and speak soon :)

Yea tell me about it, I haven't had much time for myself recently and since getting a job I have no free days but on the plus side I am less of a hermit! School is good, I dropped one of my subjects and took up anthropology which I find really interesting, what about you?
totorosoph (5 months ago)
Hey! No I haven't yet, Im back at college now so haven't had much time to go over there which is a shame. Was gonna go tonight but fell asleep haha. Wow seven oak tress, I bet they look amazing! xxx
totorosoph (5 months ago)
I replied to you earlier but the message hasn't sent for some reason. I didn't think anyone looked at my blog haha so thank you! I'm not sure what type of trees they are but I could find out, I really love that forest. There are a few beautiful oak trees in there, me and my Dad had our 'special tree' which was an oak that we used to visit, I'm gonna find that again.

Ah yes me and my friends often make fires outside, and the smell is pretty bad haha. Never heard of seasonal depression in the summer but I definitely agree its a real phenomenon. I'm really going to try to avoid it this winter so I'm going to stop talking about it now!

I might watch that later, I feel like something light hearted and sweet :)
totorosoph (6 months ago)
Ow I wish I had a fireplace in my house, that would be amazing. I like your perspective, sadly winter tends to make me feel a bit depressed but I'm going to try to avoid that this year :)
