May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Last year I decided to rekindle my former personal blog which used to be called ‘Antipodean – The Right Side Up’. That title seemed dated as I wanted the blog to be more about the now and my new life in Scotland and my university studies, so with the revamp I decided on giving it…

I think it probably has happened. I had a MASSIVE wobble and, well….it’s probably all too late and…. Life moves on, as a (mostly) wise man once said. A person who, I believe, has made plenty of mistakes also. But I get that I have become massively wearing and have always invested too much in…
What a difference a week can make, eh? I tried to shield the blog from it as much as possible, although it didn’t escape unscathed as my mood last weekend was probably at the worst it had been all year – culminating in a complete anxiety attack and me considering chucking in the whole uni…
Or am I reading the ACTUAL lines? Contradictions? Oxymorons? Paradoxes? I’m no longer sure what it is now…or what I do with it? Everything in life is always open to our own interpretations of it and of course many things affect our interpretation of things – our own mental state being the biggest contributing factor…
This week has been an iffy week with study. But that’s nothing new. It seems to be a trend. My first week, the introductory week – I felt I had a handle on things. I knew my way around the OU site well enough, as I had been familiarising myself with it as much as…

The only thing that seems to make me happy right now is to endlessly listen to Jonathan Richman. It’s these kind of things that make me wonder whether I am on the spectrum because of my silly, confused traits. I need an outlet. I need to vent. This is what this place is for, for…
I have been back listening to a random shuffle mode playlist of Minds songs over the past couple of nights. Perhaps my “Seven Year Itch” has been quelled? Sometimes I get distracted. My thoughts wander. As I am so familiar with some of the tunes, and this will sound awful – but….you can “zone out”,…
The “art” very much comes and goes in waves these days. I must be needing some visual therapy as I have found myself working on the visual side of things again these past few days. I don’t feel anywhere near as depressed and “affected” as I did this time last year leading up to my…

Let’s try and reset the clock and think of the good things. Before I start that – thank you to Sage, who commented on a previous post with some rather apt – as her name suggests – sage words. I’d like to think I am intelligent enough, and I know what needs to be done…
