Major Changes!

Well I really am crap at keeping my blog up to date, so i thought, given lifes major changes, it was time for another post.

In the last six months life has dealt many blows, first my business went under, then i lost my house. Rather too quickly i went into business with someone i didnt know, or particularly trust and found myself broke and unemployed very quickly. Around the same time i was trying to buy a perfect little house, but with the stress and uncertainty of my life i decided not to proceed. This left me sleeping on a friends floor.

So... after the rollercoaster i decided it was time to make some positive changes in my life, and perhaps not go anywhere near business!!! For a long while i had wanted to go back to university and study something in politics and international relations. Instead of trying to be the next Richard Branson, I wanted to do something that was not about money, but about something more fulfilling. So biting the bullet and risking what little financial security i dont have, I have decided not to go back to work, and to really push to go to Bradford University to study Conflict Resolution. Unfortunately i am too late to study this year, or at least study and pay the bills, so i am putting it off for a year and planning on going in September 2008. In the mean time i'm putting myself in the hands of fate, and going to be moving in with a "host family" which will allow me not to have to go out to work, but instead concentrate on my writing, and doing some volunteer work. Having had so many false starts in my life i want to spend the next year making sure that going abck to university is the best thing for me, this course is what i really want, and my mental state is good enough to support me through another 3 years of university.

So watch out for many more posts, as life should be more simple, i expect them to be more regular. Scary as it is, i'm looking forward to the year ahead.
