the future
Masters is coming along, finally getting back on to the targets I had set myself for the dissertation. I should have my lit review and survey where I wanted them to be, the whole motivation thing is just as awful as I remember it from 4th year of undergrad. Though with added full time fucked up rotating shift job it really doesn't help. I can't let myself use it as an excuse though or I'll never get anything done! Nearing year 4 of working in my current job, the internal politics I normally avoid due to working shifts are starting to get to me. The shift work, though providing fantastic amounts of annual leave I'll probably never get in any other job, are starting to get to me. I said from the begining I would only work shift for 5 years and I'm looking forward to keeping that promise to myself. Current plan is september hand in disseratation and end of masters! October, recieve masters! apply for JET program and sign up for Japanesse lessons. Hopefully get accepted into JET and off to Japan in June next year.
If I don't get into JET I'm really not sure, but plan is to get out of Ireland and live a non european life for a while, non-anglo culture. No mortgage, no debt I figure if I don't go explore now I'll end up comitting to an early mid life crisis in ten years and won't have thhe freedom to just fuck off like I can now. So heres to running away from Ireland in six months or so.
