It’s getting cold outside. Those who know me are probably aware of the fact that I dislike the cold. I am not a big fan of snow. It’s a nice feature of Christmas but other than that I could well do without it. It’s wet and cold and it gets my car stuck when I need to be somewhere. The winter period in Iceland is therefore not a friend of mine.
One of my flat mates had the perfect idea though. Instead of being stuck in a country where the temperature is rapidly descending towards a negative number, he just hopped on a plane to sunny Spain. If I wouldn’t have had school that needed to be focused on, or would have had any money, I would have been on the same flight enjoying an ice cold beer in the hot sun, the way life was meant to be enjoyed.
On the subject of school, I find myself torn between the choices for next year. Do I stay or do I quit? I’ve only been back since the start of September but already I feel jaded. I like school, like learning something new and enjoy meeting new people. I do, however, not enjoy the stress that follows being a full time student. Spending many many hours a week doing homework, preparing for presentations, reading hundreds of pages about subjects I do not care about etc etc. just doesn’t sound all that thrilling in my head.
I enjoy writing, fiction writing. Being creative and able to put myself out there, my way, is something that thrills me. For too long this has been a dream that seems out of reach, and I guess I’ve used other factors as excuses to protect myself from taking that leap. What if I attempt and fail? It’s easy to blame outside factors on your inability to get stuff done. I can’t do this because I have to do that. I feel like I’m getting sick of that attitude and that it’s time to just go for it, reach for the sky and take that leap. Remove that outside factor and place the world in my own hands. Study what I feel could better my craft, at my own pace without the added pressure that accompanies the university life.
I could really use some advice on this matter since I’m really torn on a decision. Thank you.
In the meantime here are some funny cats:
