Holding On To What You Have and Hilltop Sunburnt Heaven.

Today I journeyed up to Pewley Hill in Guildford, which is quite near the castle, with some of my friends. After stocking up on strawberries, humous, bread, muffins, ginger beer, home-made cupcakes, cloudy lemonade, crisps, raspberry sponge and cheese strings, we were ready to climb THE HILL.

It is no exaggeration to say that Pewley Hill is immensely steep. But the sight at the top was worth it.

Alas I don't think I have my camera lead, but as soon as I do I will upload the photos I took today. It's beautiful up there, it almost makes you forget that you're in Guildford. It's almost like you're nowhere and everywhere all at once. The sun on my back may have crispened my skin but I don't care. For at least half an hour I was quiet and at peace, despite numerous thoughts rolling through my mind. At least they weren't bombarding me, as the often do when I can't sleep and lie awake thinking of everything and nothing.

I have just skim-read a blog called sweetbabyjames, about a little boy who was born prematurely and who encountered numerous problems in his short life. The fact that his parents had the courage to document their experiences about caring for a special needs baby touched me deeply, and made me realise even more that you have to appreciate what you do have while you have it. An old cliche, I know, but so true.

Tomorrow I have a meeting with my tutor to try and decide whether or not I should continue with my Creative Writing module. We shall see how that goes. I am also meeting with my soon to be housemates to discuss who is having what room. I already know which one I'm going to bid for, and as it's the smallest room I don't think I'll have much competition!

I really need to get working on my Bridport entry, although I don't think my initial idea is good enough or exciting enough. I am definitely my own worst critic.

There don't seem to be any stars out, this saddens me. I think I can see one but it's blinking rather rapidly so I think it's actually an aeroplane masquerading as a star.

Ho hum yes... I have nothing else to say.
