This time I mean it
Okay, so I said at the end of August that I was back…and then kinda disappeared again! What can I say! Circumstances overtook me, and as usual life for the past few weeks has been crazy (even crazier than usual). A couple of weeks ago though I made two big decisions after ending up staying up all night the night before my final assignment on T175 was due in to get it finished on time. I did, just, but that prompted me to realise that for at least the past year I’ve just been frantically rushing around just trying to keep up simply because I’ve had too much to do, and that’s meant that OU stuff’s been left very late in the day.
It’s been quite a few years, since way back when I was at college, since I’ve pulled an all-nighter to get work finished, and I have to say that I’m showing my age. I can’t cope with it like I used to. So, I realised that I need to scale back on what I’m doing, hence my two decisions.
My first was to resign as Chair of the charity I’ve been chairing for intracranial hypertension ever since we set it up (I got the job on the grounds it was my crazy idea in the first place, and no-one else wanted to do it), which was taking over my life entirely. The second was prompted by the realisation that I’m just not a natural programmer. I can do it (with the books infront of me), but it’s damned hard work! So, I decided not to carry on with the IT degree.
What am I going to do instead? Well that’s a closely guarded secret at the moment, but all I shall say is that Bliss is incredibly happy about it, so I’ll leave her to tell you all about it (and maybe she’ll stop nagging me now for a while!), and that it also involves “the next big thing”. More news on that soon.
…and this time I mean it.
