Back to school
I've started school again and I'm not particularly pleased about it. I've realised that I am happier when my time is spent doing the things I love. I like to learn, I just don't like the pressure of having to learn and retain everything, and then pass an exam. It's just so much pressure.
Lazy? Most def!
It's the accounting course through UC Berkeley. I've been talking about it for ages, I just havent had the guts to sign up and get started. It's being paid for by my company. Which is nice.
I am just happier with no pressures, and I decided this when I left University. I said to myself that I didnt really care what I did for a career any more because it was more important to do the things that make me happy, and be fulfilled with activities in my spare time. If I have a job that pays my way and I enjoy it, then that would be a bonus.
So after starting this course I realised that maybe university wasn't right for me to begin with. Although without it I wouldn't be where I am today (writing this!). I wouldnt have met the people I've met. I wouldnt have met my wife. I wouldnt be computer savvy at all! (thanks Pete!) (and I get so much enjoyment out of surfing the net), something which wouldnt have happened without meeting Pete at uni.
Why am I pondering all of this now? Mid twenties crisis?
The answer is almost certainly that all these things have lead me to see what I now know is what is important to me in my life. I can see very clearly what I like (and what I'm good at) and what I need out of life. I dont need a nice car or a great job. However I do like the following things. A LOT!
* Classic rock
* The electric guitar
* The internet
* Ice hockey
* Love
* Tea
(sometimes in that order, but not always)
