One Year

Wow i really have to rush as the bloody computer is broken at home and i have 15 mins to write this.

Its been one year in the UK, I came thinking i could just look around see what I like, then go back to jamaica after a month and decide what i want to do after, nothing of the sort happened. Reality came and gave me a cold visit, I was told i could not recieve government help cause i was not in the country for three years, then i could not go to school unless i paid £5000, I was devastated to say the least, I felt like I left a great life for this shit country, what a hell hole I thought.

I came in september and by december I owed my mom nearly £300 for running up the phone bill, so i had to spend the little money i had earned from working at a supermarket chain.

I'll have to tell you more about my past year in details another time, however the piont is i have had more goods than bads being here, i have discovered myself and a great support family, I now have two jobs, will start school in march and i'm learning to drive ALL in one year WOW!!! i'm really proud of myself.

Tomorrow is my birthday, I bought myself a ipod nano for £120 this would have cost me $14400JA money which is hard to come by and even if you have, there are bills to pay. I feel great full for being able to travel and purchase things simply because i like it without thinking about the money. Most british people I find have no idea how previlege there are to simply be able to travel home safe and drunk lol.

hmmm but when I have more time i'll let you know how my birthday went, untill next time

cheers!!! :)
