finished exams on the 24th of June. how smashing! i feel i went rather well in them, and i know i prepared well. so hopefully my results are favourable.
this week has been good. it's been lovely to relax and spend time with my family. tomorrow we're going to our farm and we'll be there for a week, i'm really looking forward to it! the city is so oppressive sometimes, it's nice to get away and just clear the head.
i start uni again in late july. i'm halfway through my course! - isn't that bizarre? it will be nice to finish, though i haven't the foggiest idea what i'm going to do with myself after it's over. probably more study so i can actually get a job!
there's a lot more i could say here but whatever. it's for another day i guess. right now i'm tired and am about to have a nice mug of jasmine green tea :)
peace and love, friends!

for your listening pleasure!
in my opinion, some of the best music ever. always fills me with a wonderful sense of peace. plus the videos are quite entertaining and bizarre :) enjoy!
(the song (and album) my blog is named after :)
peace!

this week has been so wonderful. i really can't explain it...i don't think i've felt this great about things in quite a while. life is so beautiful, the world so so beautiful. though it is insanely cold here - i like cold weather, but right now my fingers feel like icicles :/
i'm really looking forward to the future and the opportunities it holds. last week my dad told me that the couple who works in the office next to his lost their 18 year-old son to suicide at the end of may. even though i didn't know the guy personally, it made me sad to know that he'd felt like there was no other option but to end his life. there is always another option.
this week has been very quiet. i haven't done much except study and cook. cooking is very, very therapeutic...but i confess i'm a little on the messy side :/
next week should be fun, i have one exam on tuesday and then the rest of the week to study. what an interesting life i lead! :P
i've started smiling more. i've realised it's such a nice feeling to smile...plus seeing as i can't frown or raise my eyebrows it's pretty much the only 'expression' i have :) sort of nice when i think about it. i hope i continue to smile more until i become a cheshire cat :P happiness is a great feeling. may you be happy always :)

falling leaves.
it's been so, so long since i posted on here. either i've thought about posting and have simply forgotten, or i've had other things on my mind. bit of a mix of the two.
so, what's life been like for me? rather brilliant. last week i finished semester one of 2011. it's great to have accomplished that, as i'm almost officially halfway through my course. i really enjoyed the subjects i took, though literary theory was insanely difficult to comprehend at times. but i had so much fun and learnt a lot.
so next week is stuvac, and i'm setting in for some study. holidays go for about a month, and it will be nice to relax for a while.
my health has been good. i've almost finished my prescription of iron supplements, and need to go back for a blood test to see if there's been any improvement. i haven't donated blood since january, and want to get back into it again. i've been feeling more tired than usual, but perhaps that's because i've been having late nights. :)
some slightly bigger news - in a few weeks i'm going to see a cosmetic surgeon to discuss my options regarding more surgery on my face. i'm not resigned as to whether i will actually do anything, but i would like some advice. moebius isn't causing me any significant problems - it never really has - but i'd like to know what choices i have. part of me does wish from time to time that i'd never had the surgery to begin with as i don't see that it was necessary. perhaps i would have been able to cope. i was pretty young when i had the muscle graft, and i don't remember making the choice. though, if i'd never had the surgery i doubt i would be able to do the things i can now.
in the end though, i think it all matters how i feel about myself. i don't really see it as about what others think so much anymore...perhaps that sounds a little selfish...not too sure... :/ in the end, it's my life and my face. i'm the one who has to live with it, so it needs to be my choice. sometimes i do still feel bad about the way i look, but in general moebius syndrome is the least of my worries (despite what people think). it makes me who i am.
i'm a little nervous (or rather apprehensive) regarding seeing the doctor. i'm not seeing my usual surgeon, and i feel a little 'iffy' about that. though i'm excited to hear what he will say and to know whether anything can be done for my eye and my mouth. i haven't done anything like this for quite a few years, so it's a rather big step for me and i'm looking forward to it.
i'm also saving up to go to america next year for the moebius syndrome foundation conference. i'm thinking about giving a presentation too, but not sure yet whether i'm even going. it's going to be quite a bit of money. but i'm really, really hoping to go.
i'm going to try and post more regularly. smile! :)
