"Is the truth depressing? Some might find it so. But i find it liberating, and consoling. When i believed that my existence was such a further fact, i seemed imprisioned in myself. My life seemed like a glass tunnel, through which i was moving faster every year, and at the end of which there was darkness. When i changed my view, the walls of my glass tunnel disappeared. I now live in the open air."

location: quite near a castle, a small town called herstmonceux, in southern england
mood: wandering
sounds: seaside - the kooks
thoughts: unknown, perhaps also wandering, attempting some learning..
it's cool to be here, in england, going to school in a castle (had class there this morning), but also challenging. and challenging in a way i never expected, because even though this culture has many similarities to the canadian culture, it's different, and i guess i'm a kind of homesick, where i'm culture-sick.. it's only been a week, but i miss the way our roads are more often straight than winding, and i miss being able to recognize the money i'm using (although i am getting the hang of pounds and pence) and i don't know.. it's little weird things that are different... but i think this is good for me. or at least, that's what i keep on telling myself.
anyways. time for some lunch.
