On Wednesday I go back to uni, back into a routine of sitting in our Mac rooms with a bottle of Diet Coke to get me through the mornings/afternoons. This is the first year where I’ve not needed to buy anything for the upcoming year, got my financial issues sorted out beforehand, and realised that I am in budget in terms of keeping costs down (and when you see my potential gigging calendar for the remainder of the year, that is some achievement). I’m trying to get myself motivated for it but at the moment it’s a struggle. It’s been a summer of equal relaxation and excitement. I’m now pretty unlikely to ever get a whole summer off again so I’ve tried to make the most of it. I think I have.
This time next year I hope to be in some form of work. I now have a rough idea of what I want to be doing at the very least after I graduate. The marketplace is pretty rough at the moment and I want to get work as quickly as possible. Even if it’s not the job I really want, it’ll be something where I can apply the same skills and earn money for it, which is a start. It’s scary that in May my time in education is up after a decade and a half. Where does the time fly? You start off as a naïve young toddler and end up as a ‘responsible’adult.
The next couple of days will be spent, as well as the usual Musical Chairs shizzle, listening to and reviewing some CDs. One of these is by a band I might be interviewing next week so this is pretty useful to me. From here on in, I’m busy and there’s no stopping me until Christmas. Daunting yet exciting times.
