Summertime... and the living's easy...
Gershwin, anyone?
I'm in a very Gershwinish mood today... enjoying the ... internet... on a nice sunny day... and most importantly, on a much needed HOLIDAY!!
Can't say I have too much to report... just chilling. Few emotional upsets here and there, same old, same old.
Doing literature next year. I must be a total idiot. Going quickly down the path of becoming a starving writer... but hey, I love writing, and following my heart can't be a bad thing, can it? Considering that I was offered a scholarship to study writing at a university when I was just 14... that must mean something... why have I gone and forgotten all of that?
I have a few bids here and there... study economics! Study marketing! Study law! It all leaves me feeling somewhat hollow. I know I'm probably just basing all of this on my preconceived notions. However, based on my experience at uni so far, I've flat out refused to do anything that I do not enjoy, and have done very poorly on those subjects upon having to force myself through the syllabus. Besides that, the subjects that I do enjoy suffer, because I have to put in a disproportionate amount of study time into those vilified subjects.
Philosophy and literature... perhaps a double major. Sounds excellent. Most of the best fiction writing in the world stems from themes that are philosophical by nature.
I'll be working on my story that I wrote when I was 13 and got me that scholarship to study at a university when I was 14, and posting that on my blog in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes open...
