Hey everyone, it's the 9th of March, and university work is piling up, 2 exams and 2 courseworks in the next 2 weeks...but I'll be okay. Uni has been going great, I'm working really hard, and it's showing in my grades (all firsts, and one 2:!) and yeah, I enjoy it. I love the learning environment, and I feel I've really grown as a person in the last year, and I've learned a lot. I'm reading more, and learning not just about business, but about life. It's really hit me recently just how special life is, and to all those people who get depressed...you should realise that life is a gift, something that can be taken away within an instant...a car crash, a nutter, any time it could go. Don't worry, I'm not going all emo, but I dunno, I'm really trying to enjoy every second of life, and get the most. I don't wanna end up wasting away in a dead end job, i've got ambitions, and if I work hard, I can achieve everything I want, people shoudl realise that, and people should aspire to be more, more than they are. And I've realised that nothing in life is given, you have to work hard, and love those around you. As a really special person once told me, "love and work make the world go round" and you know what, it's true. I hope all of my hard work pays off, but I know I'm lucky, lucky to have my family, my girlfriend, my friends, an able body, a good mind, people dont' realise how lucky they are, I didn't, but now I have. I watched a film the other night called My Left Foot, it's about a kid born with cerabral palsy in 1940's Catholic Ireland, and how you know what, he was given nothing, but he worked hard, at his speach, and become an amazing artist, despite everything he had in his way. If more able bodied people had his desire, perhaps the world would be a better place right. And there's so much hate right now, if everybody just learned to treat everyone, as they would like to be treated, and if throughout there people showed more respect to others, and held doors open, smiled at people on the train, it would make everyone so much happier, because you know what, charity starts at home, and people should look in the mirror sometimes because you can blame someone else for everything, and you can blame politicians, you can insult communism, capitalism, school, parents, friends, but it's what's in your heart that really counts, it's what has always counted, and always will. If someone wrongs you, don't return it, help them, if someone hits you, turn the other cheek. I'm not preaching, I'm not perfect either, and I hate myself sometimes, even today I did some bad things that I shouldn't have, but the important thing is that I realise it, and try to change myself to not do it again. No-one is perfect, no-one ever will be, I just hope that we can all try to improve ourselves day to day, and aspire to the best we can, and when we get there aim higher, and don't look down on people who have't quite reached that yet, don't degrade them, and stand on your high horse parading your glories, hold out your hand and encourage them, whilst always moving yourself forwards. If only there was more love...










I Alexandra...
