Tic Toc

After near apocalypse in communication, without any shots fired, something has still gone missing. 
Rewinding the picture and still nothing, but so far everything we know is good enough...

So it begins again...

So here are my last 15 days before I hide away from public till May!
The time has come to spend every moment with family, while they give me a chance or get "sick" of me...this year will be one of the toughest I experienced as a student so far. 
Law degree is making me antisocial if I may say!
If I'm still alive at the end of this study year I will definitely buy a flat next to Uni to avoid this tampering with my sleep and long rides home. 
I insisted on traveling this year-why? (I'm still asking this to myself!!!)
But looking on the bright side, I can just let phone calls from work go straight to voicemail - no more sale preps, no more angry customers, no more retail environment outside your contracted days, no more admin paperwork that's been messed up by complete morons. Yes MR Manager- my degree is more important!
This is getting exciting, law here I come...

Home?

Here I am, back where it all started. Place where I was born and raised - Latvia.
So many things and places seem so different from last time I was here. But after 3 weeks, it seems like it was like that all along.
Maybe fresh air and walks along the beach has restored the memory of home. But is it home? 

We are ready!

It seems that summer has arrived in Central Scotland...
Sun is shining, barbecues are pulled out and flower beds are in full bloom.
People are getting out of their shells and soaking up vitamin D. Only festivals are still on their way!
Except water guns are on the hold till true adventure souls are ready to be taken by adventure fever! 
Let's show this summer who is ready for wild adventures! See you there...

That lecturer that calls you a LAMB...

If Russell doesn't call you a lamb he will give you a lecture that you should be doing degree not go through with this course...
Well if I would believe in myself as much as Russell believes in me I would be already qualified solicitor by now,but I want to start from the bottom and move upwards-step by step!
The essential foundations are finished and now I can move on with degree...
It's the small things that make this work move forward in more enjoyable pace!
Bare with me Russell I will get there eventually!

Is it really May?

Looking outside the window I must say I expected summer to be already on the doorstep...boy I was wrong!
Decision to make a productive day without any transportation involved has turned its true colours against my good intentions. I love rain and freshness it brings but my white shoes didn't agree with it...
Got to love Scotland!

Tourist Games

After weeks of traveling and experiencing new cultures, I must say that I really missed playing a tourist for while.
Certain days were exciting while others brought nothing but worry!

Thank you A.V.

Another book finished...another story lived through...
We don't grow till we learn to appreciate literature. 
I hated books when I was a kid,well I hated books even when I was a teenager...
But everything changed when I got to high school. This strong woman came along to teach us literature and rules about poetry...and a lot more.
She had this air about her you could not explain but you felt it around her every time you crossed paths with her. She corrected our way of talking,our way of writing and our way of thinking.
She taught me to love books in a short space of time I had a chance to be her student.
I will be forever grateful for things she has taught me...
She was taken away from us in the last year we had left of high school, it broke my heart to find out that she was no longer there to teach us... I felt angry at cancer and it's dark path it leads around us. 
But now I can share her memory with every book I read.
Thank you!💛

Saturday blues...

Planned trip to St Andrews had to be cancelled due to snowfall.
It looks so peaceful and relaxing out there, but in reality the wind is harsh and snow is adding it's contents to puddles. 
Maybe instead of boots I should be pulling out wellies, but maybe staying in won't hurt me.
Consumer Credit Act report is finally finished, I can enjoy my super sized coffee mug in piece, watching snow fall behind the window.
Sun has been hiding for a week now and on my only day off I wasn't holding my breath that it would appear today... It's Scotland after all.
February has come so quickly that I can barely prepare all the paperwork needed. There is definitely not enough hours for me at this time of the year.
Wish I was carefree kid again, with no obligations and duties... why I was wasting my time on the idea that I want to grow up when I was a kid?

Here I am,reading 'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes...
Rarely I cry while reading books or even real life case studies,which make your stomach turn. But this time I couldn't stop tears streaming down my cheeks... last few chapters took longer with blurred vision.
Hiding away from everyone in my room I open books and step in the new world. I need books like some need alcohol or nicotine in their system.
Eventually every story comes to an end and I hate to part from them. But this time after hours of crying I'm glad I can close the book and add it to my book corner.
Story broke my heart...but I am glad I came across it.
Time to go and live.

Place has changed.

Being across the pond at home, I wish I never left but I see I am a changed person and I push those thoughts away.

I recognise faces and their habits but silently I am happy to see I have moved on from here.

Being here I notice how people seem to act their way through. You want civilised behaviour from everyone?  Well start with yourself - don't expect others to change before you have done first step!

I love my heritage but people are turning into animals without realising it.

Greed has taken over their minds.
