Summer

At the start of the summer holidays the whole family headed off to Somerset. We have a converted windmill holiday home thing down there that we stay in. It was über boring as we go there five times a year and do mostly nothing. So I started a new FFIII game even though I haven't finished the first one. It was boring and we're going there again at the end of the holidays.

After that I had a free week when I did my homework. I was dreading the end of the week when I had to go to some Quaker Holiday Camp because it sounded a little boring and I hadn't gone to York by train on my own before.

A couple of days before I went to York we found someone who I could travel with from London to York. At 1:30 on Sunday I boarded the train with another girl called Holly. After a 2 hour train ride and a taxi drive I arrived at the holiday camp. People greeted me and took me to the main hall, where I met my two cousins. There were a lot of people there, all talking. It was quite intimidating as the only two people I knew were my cousins, but they made me feel more at home. I met the people who I was to share a room with and they seemed quite friendly. Actually, you're probably going to get quite bored of reading this, I could go into every minute detail about the camp. Basically, to sum it up, it was one of the most amazing and most fun weeks of my life. I was completely wrong about it being boring. The people there were so nice (scarily so) and the atmosphere is so happy. It has made me feel a lot more confident in life and has also made me hate school even more as most people there are just gah.

Anyway, today I am suffering from post holiday camp depression, life just feels so lonely and bare now. I went out to HMV today and bought three new albums, Led Zeppelin II & III and Sonic Temple by the Cult. I am also learning Edie on the guitar and can sort of play the intro bit.
