Going back to school

Rate this Entry
Well, this is the last day of my holidays, school's back on monday. Weekends don't count I don't think. I've had an odd kind of bitty holiday, kind of wandering about Britain seeing various people, but it was good I guess. I feel so tired! Which makes no sense what so ever. I'm looking forward to going back though. Which is odd. I was looking forward to going back since I left! I've figured out I actually like my job. I like talking to loads and loads of people every day.
It's the anniversary of Diana's death today. It's funny how her life was mourned more than Dodi Al Fayed's. I wonder what it is that makes everyone worship one person more than another? Is it what they do? Or how they look? Or their allocated position in the world? It's odd how much has changed over that time.
Things seem to be moving on in my life right now. It feels almost like its measured in five year periods, and at the end of five years I feel the desire to do something new. Right now everything is exciting and changing, its just changing very very slowly.
I've been reading Ursula Le Guin's, 'The Lathe of Heaven' and it is sheer brilliance. I love this book. Thank you to whoever it was on this forum that told me to read Le Guin, I concede, she is excellent - thought provoking in a scientific and literary way. The nature of memory, and of fiction is explored really well. It's a book of a million plots with one God-like centre that kind of remains constant. You know when you read a book and it just makes you genuinly excited you like it so much? I'm scared to read the last 20 pages cos then it'll be done and I'll have nothing to do.....
