Hello. (:
October. 90 days until the end of the year.
Unfortunately, I was too busy with my job to post a journal yesterday.

PAST.
September quickly became the worst month of 2009 for me.
The first day was amazing, nothing could ever compare to that day.
A euphoric bliss. One day I will never forget.
The 9th September was perfect too.
Lifted in the air by surprise. Never expected that.
Unfortunately after that, everything went downhill.
NEGATIVE. Many friendships have been ruined. Losing a close friend to cancer. Becoming quite unwell.
The most negative was losing one of my closest friend to suicide last weekend. She took her own life one hour after seeing me. New Zealand does have a high rate of suicide with 3rd highest in the OECD and it does put a lot of questions into my mind.
POSITIVE: More landscape photography opportunities because of school holidays. Made some new friends. Realising that friendships are meaning more to me now than ever. Having an excellent job. Attending a charity function and making a change.

PRESENT.
I am a landscape photographer but at the moment I have taken an interest in realistic writing. The effect of this is writing more and less photography. I promise to have more photography up soon but my SLR is currently getting repaired.
"Describe the effect music has on youth and how the stereotypes are integrated in the music scene." This is my new psychology task. Report will be on DA towards the end of October.

FUTURE.
This month will hopefully be better than September.
With more photography, friendship and helping society opportunities, I am optimistic about the month ahead.

Two questions:
What is favourite music genre?
What are your top five favourite artists/bands right now?
For my psychology essay.
THANK YOU.

Enjoy October.
Stephanie.(:
