when time and confusion collide

the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

Rachie just showed me this link last night. (or rather it was 3am in the morning but ohwells) AEP 2005 GRAD SHOW. I realise I've never posted a finalfinal picture of my artwork here before so go seeee. I'm number ELEVEN :) Go have a look at the rest of the works too. I miss my AEPians.

I'm happy here. I really truly am. I like the responsibility. I like learning how to use the oven. I like the 15 min walks to campus with Sam and Debs in the mornings. I like going on pubcrawls and reaching home at 3am only to sleep through 915am lectures the next morning. I like the mist that hangs over the soccer fields, the ducks that poop all over our pathways. I like being happy.

But don't get me wrong - I do miss everyone. Maybe I don't miss the country as much, but I miss the people. My family, my team, my.. everyone. Then again it's good that I'm pretty much settled here and I've been able to blend in so well cos I've got fantastic housemates. After all even though I'm away from home.. it's only 11000km away (thanks to Sam's encarta).

And that's not very far.. is it? I love you all muchly.
