Hey guys, So it seems I have missed a week's worth of posts! Uh oh, and people have been bugging me to see if I am okay and up and alive and where is my next update. So first things first, an appology. For not updating and also for over reacting. It had been a very long hard few days of being alone and surrounded by people that I didnt like after having such a great time on the train and it was very much a shock to the system.
