Location: Home, Kil&Burn, London
Date: Sunday night. T-18 (days until starting work) 

Another lapse in writing. How embarrassing. It's not that I even have anything to show for it. Basically too much partying preventing periods of reflection. Lasting hangovers also inhibit thought processes and not to mention heavily facilitate laziness. 
Dis-O, Ibiza, Graduation, Summer Ball... Then more going out... 

Books: Just finished Heart of Darkness by Conrad. Not sure. I think I missed a lot of symbolism as I wasn't trying very hard. It was a little bit hardgoing. It would not have killed him to break paragraphs a little. Other than that - interesting. Not mind blowing though. Do tell me if I missed something... 

Also reading a book called 59 Seconds. I just came upon an interesting point that states writing is a lot more cathartic than talking about a problem. I suppose another reason I haven't been writing is that I don't actually have any problems at the moment (t'fu t'fu t'fu...). Aside from the usual existential crisis which shows no sign of abating. Common everyday problems will come soon enough once I start work. Eeeeeeeek.

It also suggests an exercise (a rather gay one, but nonetheless) of listing things I am grateful for. It is sufficiently intriguing for me to try.
Here goes the list of 5: My room and my bed (warm and comfortable), books, many books in my room, friends in London, health, understanding parents.
Hm. That wasn't easy, but actually you do end up feeling good. Hm.
