Back in Scotland

Paisley Abbey - made by me

I can’t believe it’s been more than a year since I arrived to Glasgow (and then Paisley) for the first time. But the end of September arrived and unfortunately (or fortunately?) the end of holidays came with it as well. I’ve been here for three weeks now and I can tell you…time is a funny thing. To me, it feels like only a couple of days have passed. But I’m pretty sure I know the reason for it. Troubles…complications…challenges…call it as you wish.  But I tend to look on things in positive way and these troubles in paradise have one huge advantage – I don’t have time to be homesick.

I’ve moved flats (only few streets away from each other) which caused some forced running around offices of all sorts – from council through Uni to bank and so on. Also the process of looking for a new flat itself wasn’t totally easy peasy.  But I managed successfully and I couldn’t love this new nest of mine more than I do!! I live only with my best friend now, which is a beautiful and welcoming change after sharing one old flat with three other people (really really really messy people if I might add).

Add some financial troubles with taxes (that I shouldn’t pay when I’m a student, but for some reason they suddenly don’t care about this insignificant detail), not working internet, complications with payment of electricity and gas and trying not to be the worst student at the Uni plus even have some social life…and I think it’s quite obvious what I’ve been doing for these few last weeks.

Nevertheless, life is as bad as our thoughts are…so I’m stopping all the self-pitying . Life is a game and I’d like to enjoy it with all that comes with it. J

Yours,
