... a long while

Is it really eight months? In some ways it seems much less, in others more. But I haven't been idle. I have, finally, started my degree. I first started trying about eighteen years ago, taking night classes, but was talked out of it by a careers advisor (she said the maths would be too hard). I have just two exams to go, then I'm done. I have a 76% average, which is considered a good pass. This is in social science, but I've also started a comuting course. About four or five years and I should have done it. It's a lot of work though, this is why I haven't posted. I stayed in Thailand for six months, as I was carrying everything I own in the world right down to my birth certificate, and I wanted to archive my pictures and work so I didn't have to carry it, then I traveled back to Hong Kong by land. I got as far as Hanoi but had to go back as I couldn't get the visas! That makes it the second time I've failed on the Hong Kong to Bangkok attempt Never mind. And that's what I've done. Everything else goes well (apart from the economy). Though there's a 'YES, WE CAN' president. Usually I don't follow politics. But I read something he said about not 'valuing our security over our ideals', and that sounds promising. I have ideas for more regular posts, many involving pictures, but it all depends on time. I'll try, inbetween following my star.
