The semester is winding down at the moment.
I have to write a paper, finish up projects, finish up my sketch book pages, and present them all by Monday and Tuesday.
It's an interesting time of year. It's a time of reflection, of being thankful for the family and friends who support you, and the time to share your love for the people you hold dear. Recently I have reflected on what I've learned about myself since I've been here.
I've learned that I am more of a solid individual than I thought, that I love to socialize and being in a quiet moment, that I love to be at peace with myself. There are still things that I feel like I might have run away from back home, things that are unfinished, friendships that are at a tipping point that I want to strengthen again... but I feel like I have had the time to strengthen my own character that I can face these challenges that the holidays will bring and what next semester will bring. Glasgow is a place that people are just people. They are made up fake with make up, they are grungey, they drink too much, they eat too much starch, they live in a rainy cold place that is unpleasant at times but they are still here and proud to be who they are. I have been accepted for who I am, and all I gave them is exactly that. Through the nights at clubs, friends at bars, and even through my art. I gave them only what I am and that is completely healing. So bring it on end of term. Bring on the struggles and the hard times. All I know is that I have people who will forever laugh with me no matter what. xx Lost in Scotland
