Knuckling Down
I made a resolution to take advantage of having a roof over my head in London this week to knuckle down and get more work and studying done this week than I had been doing. to be fair, it had been pretty hard with all the travelling and the work in Ireland (which is different altogether to working on 360 and getting the business running better). And I have. But what it's made me realise is how far I am behind. Strangely, I'm not depressed about that, though. Resolute, is more like it. I realise I'm going to have to put some hard work in, both studying and working, into the evenings and at the weekends sometimes. Especially as I'm going on holiday at the end of this month.
I have more work to find myself before then, currently booked work to prepare for, and one assignment deadline just before the holiday, and one soon after. So until mid-April, I think, I'll be playing catch-up, and may not explode onto the London social scene as I'd hoped. But that's Ok. I keep coming back to Lou Rhodes: 'Are you gonna live your life or let it slip away?'. I want to take it in some directions in particular. That means more than just facing in that direction and idling along, and it will mean some sacrifices. It may mean staying in this temporary place longer than I'd thought, in order to devote more of my attention to getting where I want to be. It will definitely mean going out less than I'd like to. But hopefully it'll end up good. I'm sick of drifting; I want to put my back into rowing in the direction I choose.
