As it's been a good year since I've written anything in this journal I decided it was high time I paid a little attention to it. Who knows, it may be therapeutic!

I'm no longer a student and have entered the altogether more 'grown-up' world of work. I now work at a hospital as a radiographer. I love my work and don't miss all the assignments and revising that came with uni, although there's something very sad about leaving that environment. I'm not saying I feel older but there's something that's gone.... perhaps its the loss of the justification students have to be completely nuts! (I'm still mad but now there's no one to tell me that that's ok!)

Recent events like becoming single for the first time in 2 years and living on my own are also changing me but I really hope it's for the better! The last few months have been difficult for many reasons and I'm still in the process of recovery.

To do this I'm rediscovering things I've always loved like photography, sketching, music and comedy. The art especially has been pushed to the side to make room for the changes I made for other people. It's only now I've gone back to the drawing board (no pun intended), that I realise how much I enjoy it and should be doing more.

I have some ideas for projects I'd like to start but I need to make sure I keep up the motivation to develop them into something I'm proud of. It would be really pleasing to make a good photography portfolio.

Anyway, pointless though this journal has been for any readers, it is a starting point for myself in producing some better work (which will hopefully at least be interesting)!
