My first official blog post, and there are so many things I could write about right now, events from almost 2 full academic years are rolling around in my head and I really don’t know which one to choose!
Nobody could accuse uni life of being dull, not unless you really want it to be. I mean, yes ok, it is a BIT dull right now, but it’s assignment/exam season and it seems all I am doing is reading, writing, reading, with a bit of IT jiggery pokery dropped in to the mix when it’s time to edit my writing. But even though that sounds dull, I’m still learning about a subject that I have a huge interest in, and the hours pass by in a flash, so it really doesn’t feel that dull at all.
So I suppose I should ‘fess up right now and tell you the reason I’m currently writing this post at this very moment is as a distraction from a portfolio I’m putting together. It’s not a very good distraction – I’m still on the computer – but it’s enough to give my brain a much needed 15 minutes, or however long this takes to write, from the same thoughts that have been rolling around in my head, getting absolutely nowhere, for much longer than I care to acknowledge. I also know that when I go back to my portfolio, the piece of work I’ve been struggling with most of the day will be a lot easier to look at after a bit of time away from it.
I guess that leads me neatly onto my tip of the day: uni work is extremely important and the results are usually worth the time and effort put into it. However, remembering to take a break and not overloading my tiny little brain too much is just as important to be able to work effectively.
