I should have updated this journal several times before now, there has been things happening. The virus scan gives plenty of time to do so now...possibly one huge entry to come, possibly several smaller ones. I'm in the mood to write just now, so I'll see what happens ( Read more... )

I suppose I should update on this.

2 weeks ago I said that the next 2 weeks were going to be critical for me - at the end I could be happier than I've ever been, or I could be facing serious problems. Happily, the former has transpired. I had several main objectives I needed to accomplish.

Socially: Find out where I stand with certain people, improve ( Read more... )

Progress this last week...has not been good. Yet I'm happier than I was this time last week ( Read more... )

My last entry says I have 2 weeks to go through a hell of a lot which could make my life infinitely better or leave me regretting what could have been. I've accomplished the first  task in this, by securing a week's postponment of my next dissertation meeting and emailing about the possibility of work in January. I don't know if I'll get a response ( Read more... )

My life, in the next two weeks, is going to change, potentially enormously. If those changes are to be good, I need to overcome two enormous hurdles though, which are enormous because they are states of mind - my non-existant self discipline, and my confidence. If I can do so, then in two weeks I might be happier than I've ever been ( Read more... )

...why so many people appear to feel the need to spend so much of their time criticising me for posting in threads on the forum like What's on your mind. Surely if I want to do it and I'm not hurting anyone it's my perogative? I'm not saying I really care what they think - I'm past that - but it's still a bit annoying to constantly see people ( Read more... )

Somehow, tonight I felt born again.

( Exceedingly long entry follows... )

It's been an interesting few weeks.

Karma is a bitch sometimes - I have two essays due the same day, and intend devoting a full week to both. What happens? I get the flu, thus forcing me to do both in the last week. I got both in, but I'm happy with neither. My critique of Douglas and WIldavsky's theory of Cultural risk could have gone worse, I ( Read more... )

Once again, last night I had a dream in which I was in a Saw style trap house, with a group of people being torture to death. Another horrific dream, and yet more violence surrounding me. Why do I keep having these dreams? What does it mean?

Does anybody have any ideas whatsoever?
