my, my how time flies

Damn how it does. Has it been a whole month already? It was a hesht that one. During that month Ive done a lot:

I went back to school for exams - those professional papers we are forced to do because of peer pressure [ts all about fitting in with the in crowd :)]. Actually its a little more than just fitting in. These days if you dont do them you really dont get employed, or get a job as a front-office teller. So damned if you do damned if you dont. Anyways, this occupied a substantial part of the month - the whole of it to be precise. But I have gone thro it unscathed, and mercifully I am still sane.

I had never slept outside the confines of the watchful eyes of my parents [or a respective aunt/uncle], now not only have I, but Ive also slept on a wooden chair - twice, in a club - once, sat on a bench reading all thro the night - once. I swear the worst situation to be in is be in a school where you dont attend and so not have any friends around to accomodate you. The day I slept in a club I dint really sleep - I bot coffee, enough, and I blinked and it was 5AM. My nights were full of drama. But they once told me what wont kill you can only make you stronger, and now I daresay I think I can live on the streets, if only for one week, OK, I lie, ONE DAY, no more than that, otherwise Ill freeze to death, or just die of despair.

Such are the conditions under which I did the exams, so if I get less than distinctions, you'll know why and no one is gonna point fingers.Anyway, now Im back, in my room, with a bed, a hot meal every day and loving every minute of it. These small things we take for granted, wait till they're no longer there.
