Fortune, Fickle Fortune

I came into this world convinced I knew everything. Then I learnt, I knew nothing and set out in search of remedy. As I struggled along those dark pathways, I learned to take comfort in not knowing all the things the world has to say, to see that in seeing all ends, I see only thoughts in my head. Life is about the adventures you seek and the people you meet. It's about learning to never close any door too tightly or lose the keys, except into those passageways I am certain I wish never to peek. I know that I must keep my eyes always pointed down the road ahead, but there is time to admire the scenery that lay in view of my eye. I learnt to take heed of phrases that use the words 'maybe,' 'eventually,' 'if,' 'when,' or 'someday' for they are not 'now' and 'now' is where I must always strive to stay. I will be ready for everything and nothing all at once. I will love as much as I am able and remember that to hate is never worth the minutes that it takes. I will always strive to live for right now and not worry about tomorrow until tomorrow is upon me. To have learned even these, the smallest of things, makes me feel very fortunate indeed.

Centennium!

This is officially my centennial post! 100 posts in 3 years, not very impressive but still a small accomplishment in the world of me.

I am sorry that I have not been very proficient at posting of late. I have been extremely busy, as it is the end of term and have been taking many small day trips around South and Southwest Britain, helping friends out with their research projects and trying to find little moments to relax in.

The sun has been shinning, beautiful and warm (relatively, at least it feels warm), therefore most of my spare time has been sure laying about outside, catching rays, soaking up that all important vitamin D and having BBQ's in the park.

This post, even though it is the centennial and should, by rights, be something a little more profound is simply not going to be. I have not yet finished my research essay that is due on Monday, thank you all who participated in that by the way! You are all fabulously amazing people! My weeks through June are going to be absolutely chocker-box filled with little or not time to breath until I finish the archaeology dig at Berkeley, UK on June 11th. But even then I am going to, hopefully, fingers crossed, be shooting my dissertation film for the 9 days following, right up to the day that my mom and step dad arrive in Bristol to visit me!

Anyways, I will send out my schedule so that you all can marvel at its utterly filled state. Now, however, it is back to the 'Critical Analysis' and then on to dissertation presentations, film editing and film analysis. Busy, BuSy, Busy, me!
