Tomorrow is my last day of my first year at college I truly can’t believe how quickly this year has gone feels like just yesterday i was worrying about Gcse and fussing over prom dresses .this year feels like a bit of a blur not much has happened but neither the less it’s had its ups and downs. Getting used to my new surroundings and peers was a bit of a challenge as well as dealing with my whole self esteem/ image which i haven’t overcome yet but I’m starting to deal with STARTING ! out of all the many people I’ve encounter this year i don’t feel that I’ve met people i’d seriously consider friends not that it was a goal of mine in fact I think I made a point of being anti social to be 100% education( not sure that quite worked) even though i did focus way more than in previous years I don’t feel like I’ve put enough effort in to be confident that I’ll be able to even progress on to next year .but then again this could be very well just be pre exam result nerves .who knows. But this year has taught me quite a lot and this little bubble I’ve been in last 10 years has just about burst . I’ve been introduced into different concepts whether that’s through things I’ve learnt in the subjects i study or the people I’ve met ,new music I’ve listen to or just different interests that have surfaced .as a whole i think this has changed my outlook not drastically but just opened my eyes a little wider than before .

RIP Michael Jackson
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn’t your fault
Wasn’t in your intentions

Sri Lanka's Killing Field
about a week ago i watched a documentary showing some of the horrors that occured during the civil war in sri lanka .. i was actually unaware of the civil war until watching this and it left me lost for words , the horror that was inflicted upon the tamil people was hurrendous much of which had me close to tear's . The innocent people many of which were just mere children where excuted and slaughter in an such a inhumane way that you would not even imagine women raped and then murdered and left naked horiffic .one of the things that stuck out to me was the elderly man & a group of people gathered out side the UN compound who practically begged the UN workers to stay :
"We are begging you to stay and witness our suffering. If we allow you to leave, the truth is that everyone here will die. The knife is at our throat.
And Sadly this is what probably happened my question is why was there no international intervention ? was it because sri lanka had no resources that any other country could exploit ? So they were not worth saving ? Also why wasn't the civil war publicised more i don't recall seeing it on the news
Although it wasnt the most plesant thing to watch i'm greatful to channel 4 for showing the documentary as it has raised awareness & i hope sri lanka is able to rebuild it's self my prayers are with you
