I am a rather inconsistent person when it comes to blogging. Like when I was a child, I tried to keep a journal, one that recorded my thoughts and seemingly interesting life. Years later, while sorting out my room, I found that journal. The pages were yellow and it smelt of mothballs. Excited at finding a old childhood memory, I opened it, eager to relive my adolescent years. It was almost..empty. There were barely any journal entries written in it. Fast forward to the modern age, where the journal has been replaced by the blog. The technology may have changed but the writer certainly has not.
My last post is almost a year ago. That is pretty atrocious for a blogger, given that the average blogger blogs every two days and I was hitting the 300 days mark of blog freeze. I blame it on inconsistency, on the fact that I don’t feel the need to constantly blog. On the contrary, the times that I do write, it is with thought and feelings.
I am nearly through with my Masters degree here at Newcastle and all I have is to complete my dissertation and my final term. Essentially, that is in four months time. In two months time, it will be time to bring out the ever impressive CV and write those cover letters to all the companies out there. I am looking to get a job in the states, preferably the big apple.
An education of a lifetime is now coming to an end, years and years of books, classes, lecturers, assignments, projects, exams, essays and repetition have passed and this is it. To be honest, it is terrifying. The thought of no longer being a student and having to be an ‘adult’ scares the hell out of me. All I can think is, am I really ready to be an adult right now? Get a job, pay my taxes, starting saving all the money i have in order to send my (future) child to college which would cost like a million dollars in 25 years time.
On the other hand, I have put this off long enough. I am three years away from the 30. I have got to get out there and start pulling my weight. To be more precise, i have got to be more consistent in being an adult.
