More thoughts

Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson - just because I can.

Hey. :)

Recent crazes: (I've discovered that even when you approach the end of high school, even when you're supposed to be thinking about growing up, you still get caught by the silliest little things. I have a sneaking suspicion that it never ends, either.)

- Minesweeper. Thoughtless, repetitive, dull... so why can't I stop clicking?
- Stress! Oh yes, stress: the kind that lives, snarling like a demon, in the back of your mind; the kind that tinges every relaxed act with guilt and drives you to push further and further away in a fruitless desire to escape. Oh lovely stress, please be gone!
- Browsing the Arts courses at Otago. So far I've narrowed it down to nine possible majors and a handful of minors (Anthropology, English, Philosophy, History, Political Studies, Spanish, European Studies, Classics and Religious Studies, in case you're interested.) How are you supposed to decide? At first glance none of these seem to scream 'career potential' - but that doesn't matter, it really doesn't. Uni was always going to be about passion for me.
So: how to choose between Alexander the Great and Buddhism? Medieval literature and Middle Eastern politics? Spanish and anything else?

There is a great gulf in front of me. Life. A lot of it. Where to go?

Europe, or a $5000 scholarship, ready and waiting and next year only. I can't pretend this choice bothers me too much: it's a big one, but both options are wonderful. I am amazingly lucky.

Back to work. Design awaits.

I hope everything is going well for you, truly, whoever you are. People are fascinating...
