First Blog and general stuff

OK so this is my first blog, i figured a lot of people do it and i normally have spare time so why not share my life with the world! Because i am a newby to the 'Blogging' world any tips and hints on how i can improve please tell me.

So....life at the moment really could be better. I am currently doing my gap year at All Saints church which mainly foccuses on youth work. I am doing my gap year with Meaghan Kimsey and we have a great laugh together, however this gap year has proved to be interesting, challenging and if i may....not what i wanted. As much as i enjoy hanging out doing my youth worky stuff, every day feels like a chore. I am generally down a lot of the time (even if i don't appear to be showing it) and feel de-motivated. I think the main reason is....i was told i would be doing a lot of things on the gap year which really appealed to me, but i have either not been included in those things or they havn't happened, which has really really annoyed me. The other reason is...i am stuck in the same area. Gap years i feel are a time to take a break from education, go out experience the world and meet new people. I appear to have done non of those hence why i'm not too happy. I do however try to look at the benefits of what i am doing. Youth work has grown massivly in the church and i am sure by the time my gap year finishes i will have learnt a lot about how to cope with my personal life.

I am enjoying two weeks off at the moment which has been good just to relax and not have to worry about anything. I have been hanging out with mates and its been great. I spoke to a good friend of mine the other day and asked how my song writting was going. For anyone who didnt know....i write songs. Anywho it suddenly struck me that for the past 5 months or so i have completely 'out of it' with my own music time, so i feel for my next week off i am going to try and write a few songs. I think this time they will relate more to my personal life rather than foccusing on christianity. Is this good or bad?
