Edit: I just want to say I’m super sorry for messing around with the post. I couldn’t get it to sit where I wanted it too, so kept messing around.. it’s sorted now though.
I just have a burning desire to update my blog at the moment, so here I am! Theres quite a few things I want to cover. Ranging from news articles I’ve seen over the past few weeks that I’ve wanted to comment on, to my hunt for a job.

Edit 6/1/10: Updated to reorder some of the paragraphs and generally make the post a little bit more ‘readable’.
I’ve been pondering about posting this for several days now. I feel it’s important to portray what my illness is, and how it effects me, but it’s just super depressing, and I don’t want to bring down the tempo of my blog.

This was a hard one to answer. I’ve been contemplating it for some time now and it’s really hard for me to narrow it down to just one accomplishment! So many things have happened in my life, and so many seemingly ‘normal’ events have actually turned out to be a really big deal for me, as we never thought I’d be well enough to manage them.
I think for me though learning to drive would have to be my proudest life accomplishment. I applied for my provisional when I turned 16, which was exciting, for sure! I applied for lessons later that year but didn’t start my lessons until I nearly turned 17. (I could learn to drive at 16 due to a benefit I’m receiving).
