If anyone were to ask me how long I’ve kept a journal, I’d say for my whole life. I have six journals from various stages, full of blank pages in no kind of chronological order. There are pages stuck in, spines dismantle…I write regularly yes but when the mood strikes me. I started writing in a journal again, a handmade one my mother bought for me in Grenada three years ago. There are entries from three years ago, but there is still half a book of blank pages. I’ve started writing everyday again. It feels satisfying somehow.

Roadblocks...

I only just found the memory card for my camera after two months… So I guess this goal begins now again.
cape has begun...
2 years ago
So cape has begun. Although I haven’t posted for a while my goal still holds. CAPE has begun, and is 4 more papers from completion. I haven’t been truly prepared for any paper that has past, but miraculously have emerged from every exam thinking it’s okay. I’ve been silly mistakes in each paper but left generally confident…I hope this confidence isn’t false. I really really hope so.
