Hi everyone, I thought I’d better check into J-Land. Nothing much has happened since I last posted an entry here. The days have passed so quickly, all merged into one.
I started back to school on Monday. The first lesson I had was English Literature with Mrs. X. I handed in the new essay. The first criticism was the size of my handwriting. It’s too small! Well, at least it’s neat and tidy, unlike others. Then she said that my two page essay was still too short. That was the length she asked for! Why is she so picky? At least it was not ‘Rubbish’ like the last one, on first impression. Things can only get better.
Yesterday I received some bad news. A former classmate of mine had died on the weekend. Suicide – he’d hung himself. The reason is unclear. Paul was only 17 years of age. His life was just beginning.
I have not seen him for a few years. I think he was in my class for one year in Comprehensive school, and then he moved away. I’ll always remember him. He was always smiling with a cheeky grin, and he had a joke to share with everyone. Paul will be sadly missed. My sympathies go to all his family and friends at this sad time.
In memory of Paul Nathanial Briggs

I feel for you, Leigh. We lost one of ours this weekend too (as my entry shows)... It's so tragic to see a teenager's life taken, no matter what the means; their lives were so short... I'm sorry to hear about Paul. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Take care, I miss you
