        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So I was doing some hardcore spring cleaning today; going through boxes upon boxes that hadn't been opened since we moved house.  Anyway, it was pretty unremarkable, though I did find a lot of memories that were painful and precious in equal measures.  What I also found was this little folder, with nothing written on the front or anything.  But inside were all these stories and poems that I'd written for school assignments as a kid(like, less than 10 years old), and I, of course, read them all out of curiosity.  Of course none of them were great, but it was just such an amazing feeling to look back to how it all started, how far I've come, an ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Summer is finally here.  High school is over, and in two months I'll have to go off and be an adult.  It's scary, but the whole idea of university is something I'm finding more and more appealing and exciting; like-minded people, studying what I enjoy, working co-op/internships, an the social aspect too, of course.  For those of you who've been in university, what were/are your experiences?  Did you like it?  Best/worst parts?<br /><br />Summer also means I'll have more time to write, and more traveling, which also means more inspiration.  So that will be nice, I think.  A change of pace in a lot of ways.<br /><br />Personal stuff aside, I've also come across an ]]></media:text>
