Why Start Now ?

Blogging, in my opinion has always been a job for the more committed and dedicated Internet user. It is a practice which I have deliberately put off for the last two years, out of fear that it would undoubtedly become yet another chore within my apparent, "stress-filled" life. However, ever the optimist, ( so I like to believe), I will start and hopefully continue blogging as a way of relieving and systematically working through my "problems".

Sixth Form Prospectus Booklets. A range of emotions, alongside anxiety and excitement are felt by pupils when given so much choice and freedom, after having the first 15 years of their life written out so precisely for them. We are told that this is the time when the spoon feeding stops and the self motivation and rigorous action planning must begin.

The thought of planning the next two years of my life within the next two months seems daunting, if not laughable. Neither my height, nor level of maturity help in deeming me an able body, to make such an important decision.

Does too much thought leave no room for spontaneous events in life?
Are we becoming so mechanical in the way we think that we are sabotaging any chance we have at a risky yet highly rewarding outcome ?

A-Level options are to be made by the 4th March. And until then I shall think and rethink my options up to point where nothing but a good sob will relieve me !

  1. In my blogging experience the more spontaneous your posts are and the less you look at writing as a "duty," the more you'll enjoy it and the better your writing will be. Just go for it and write till you're done, then stop.
