On new beginnings

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

New beginnings are often a good thing, especially when you get stuck. I freely admit that towards the end of last year, I was stuck.

This year I’m starting a new course (I’m technically a first year - aargh!) and I hope I’m starting a new way of looking at uni and life in general.

I’m looking forward to looking at things from a new perspective. It’s been tough going at uni so far and, although I’ve got some pretty good results at times, I think that I’ve missed out on a lot of opportunities to get excited about what I’m learning.

I’ve lost sight of what fun it is to learn new things - new ideas, new concepts, new ways of looking at the world around me - and it’s sad. But things can change, and I will change them…as long as I can remain positive and look on the bright side. Always looking at the bad possibilities doesn’t make the experience of existence particularly fun, so I’m just not going to do it anymore.

Well, that’s the theory, anyway. Come and see me in six months and see if I’m screaming about how I hate uni and can’t wait for it to be finished ;)
