Day 1 - Leaving it Behind

Well, have arrived and have discovered the following facts,

The caravan is near, but not surrounded by cabbage fields and unusually they are not Spring cabbages and so it shouldn't be too bad. The caravan is on the type of land where it seems nothing much could grow apart from some bits of grass and stuff. It is 2 miles up a dirt track, which itself is approx 1 1/2 miles down the road from the nearest house, where S's uncle lives. It is also about 2 miles from the sea (or rather the top of a cliff) in the other direction.

Anyway, I'm here and I have that kind of nervous but excited feeling that I last had this badly when I started the University of Somewhere V. Dull. Like that day I also have a feeling of not sure I want to be here, I like what I know and I don't know this place.

I know I don't have to be here, but it's the challenge and, for all the daft hippy jokes, I really do want to find something, not sure what but something out about who I really am.

S kinda of got it when he was bringing me down here when we were chatting, but I got the feeling he is a tad worried and didn't think I'd really do it. Infact he sounded just like my mum, (and most other people I've spoken to over the last 48 hours), when he said, "it's ok if you don't do it and just decide to come home, nobody's gonna think any less of the Cabbage Patch Kid." (Infact if I were being cynical I would say they have a book going on how long I'll stick it).

Anyway I'm here and I'm shattered, (got to bed at midnight and had to be up to leave at 5am), but I'm also still a bit hyper with it. Let's just wait and see what happens when I settle down.
