Procrastination and the search for self-realisation.

(I made ‘self-realisation’ up, can you tell?)

I’m extraordinarily busy, or supposed to be, for the next three or four weeks — the college year is starting to wrap up, and there are assignments to hand in, excuses to make, and deadlines to meet. Particularly in Irish, as this is my final year of the Irish course, the work I do in the next couple of months is instrumental to me degree.

And yet, where am I? Here. Saw a tweet about something called Medium, came to see, enjoyed the simple layout and bare words, fell in love with the promises of community and talent, was bewitched by the idea of writing stories again. A more serious place, where I might write serious things, as I had planned to do with Tumblr — but Tumblr was the wrong audience and the wrong platform. I still like it there, and my blog’s doing well, but only about 15% original content, and I need something to spur my writing.

So here we are. I’ll probably write short things about whatever interests me — my experiences studying languages, university thoughts in general, being a newly-fledged adult and the confusion that comes with it. That kind of thing. A place to have thoughts, and a reason to have them.

Let’s see how it goes.
