I should really be more active on here. I can't expect anyone to be interested in my blog if I'm not interested in it myself, right?
Research continues. Belfast is coming into spring now, and there are cherry blossoms everywhere. I'm told this is a brief moment of perfect weather, and it will turn into endless rain before long. It's much nicer than winter, anyway.
Just read through my last post. Maybe because of the sunshine, I'm feeling better these days. I can't help sometimes imagining, though, what life would be like if I was still at home, if David was still around, if Dad was still around. Imagining it may be the worst possible thing I could do.
The Cathedral Quarter Festival is going on in Belfast, and I keep meaning to check out some of what's happening, but I also keep getting wrapped up in various things related to research. It's possible that it's easier to bury myself in the books than it would be to go hang out with folks. Despite a brighter disposition, I never seem to be in the mood to make chitchat with strangers. And none of the other postgrads in my department seem interested in arty things. Shame.
I vow to become more active on Facebook and Twitter &etc, if only to increase the chances of coming upon people with similar interests to me in this city. It's bound to happen eventually!
Cheers,
Ana
