so it's about 3 weeks into lent?...and i'm getting by alright. Have been bothering to eat a proper lunch most days and snacking on oak cookies, jam donuts and flapjacks instead of the usual sweets and chocolate, i know the donuts is hardly a healthier alternative but they're more filling that all the sweets i'd eat normally. Today i enjoyed a pancake at the Pancake Place without my usual maple syrup and butter but had jam instead. Still can't help but think sometimes how easy it would be just to go back to how i was eating before-not bothering with lunch and just snacking all day.
Edinburgh Zoo was the best day of my Edinburgh Zoo trip 2 weeks ago. Saw some absolutely beautiful animals. Favourite sights- watching the Gentoo penguins and their courtship rituals, the primates, the big cats and the cute sleepy koala. Ryan befriended a pair of crows and we found out April is taller than an African Water Hog...just. Being so close to these animals has made me so excited about this summer.
So i'm actually going. I'm going to Trinidad for the whole summer. 7 weeks to be exact. Doing conservation work through the university. Christie is coming too (to save me from too much homesickness). It hasn't quite set in yet that i'm going to be away for so long, or the fact that i'll be so far away, and well its a rainforest not a 3 star hotel so it's gonna be a lot more challenging than guide camp ever was but i'm up for it...i think.
Today's been a good day. I spent most of it in town with April and Ryan but I don't know, my emotions have been all over the place. A few relationships with friends are awkward, complicated and well strained just now. I'm pining for quite a few people that i don't have much contact with, some friends have just become so distant that i feel theres too much water undert the bridge there to fix things and then theres me having to face the fact that i'm not the only friend/companion/person in some of my friends lives and i need to get over the jealousy/trying to make things more than they actually are in my head. i know i'm being cryptic-just trying not to mention any names even though i doubt anyone reads the blog of a reletively uninteresting 19 year old.
nothing much else to say really....just over half way through Eclipse by Stephanie Meyers. got it this afternoon lol...i think i read too much and too fast. These books are just too addictive lol.
