Leave it to a girl to take all the fun out of sex discrimination.

So many things have happened over the space of a week.

There are times when time seem to move so slowly, you could almost feel time stop as you watch the events unfold around you. Whilst the wheel of time grinds slowly away, you walk on your own road of life.

Yet there are times when time seem to slip through your fingers quickly, like smooth white sand. You desperately try to grasp hold of it, trying to take in everything. But it escapes, leaving you confused and struggling to absorb the events.

To date, things seem to be going well. I have not regretted my decision. The road will be long and difficult, littered with obstacles and hurdles to overcome. We will walk through this together, hand in hand.

If we succeed, then the reward is there for our taking. If we fail, then at least we can tell ourselves, "We have tried."
