i have just had one of the best weeks for a while. i am absolutely buzzing with excitement, energy and positivism. its all good. the reason. i have just been to this year's bjc (british juggling convention), working my arse off, getting little sleep and i even paid for it. doesnt sound like fun ey? well, it was. love is in the air. all the people there were so nice and friendly and everybody seemed to have a good time. it was great. and i didnt only have to work, i made loads of new friends, i even saw something of the convention (shows, band - which was excellent by the way) and on top of that i learned something (passing 8 clubs, some underarm throw, very effective massage techniques and how to quickly fold a t-shirt). it was simply great. unfortunately i now have to get back to reality. the 10 hour drive back helped a little bit, especially being fed halfway in a proper home, eating the civilised way (knife and fork and at a table).
yesterday then really hit me as i had to go back to college. i already had an assessment today and friday is another one. funnily enough all the sleepless nights didnt bother me at all. i was active most of the day, admittedly tired, but not nearly as worn out as i was here lazy-arsing around most of the time. hopefully i can take some of that new-found spirit back into reality and make my life more fulfilling and fun. god, i had a bloody good time. its really difficult to explain to people what the whole convention was like. you really have to experience it to understand i guess.
anyway, looks like now its back to normal: college, work and hm, well, same old same. one interesting thing that happened during my absence here: i got a new housemate, which i dont mind, but being consulted on it would have been nice. nevermind. only 8 weeks to go...
