(Just saying, I drafted this before the ball)
On my way home and all I can think about is the ball that's coming up in two and a half hours. I'm not going to lie, I've cut it a little fine in getting there on time.
Gotten a few assignment back and, twice now, I've lost marks for not stating the obvious. I imagine you can see that I don't particularly like stating the obvious, because you know its just a waste of time and energy.
There's a lot of things that really doesn't' need to be said.
Then there are those things that don't need to be said, but it would really be nice if they were said. For example, I was invited to go to farewell party for one of my friends. She took it upon herself to tell me that despite really wanting to see me, I didn't have to go, given I was at uni right when all my assessments were due and all that jazz. That was really nice
Even, if she hadn't said that I would have understood. I guess I would have expected that if I didn't go she would understand why. Having said that, the fact that she said it, meant that she had a chance to show that she was considerate, which given everything, is important.
But somethings shouldn't need to be said. Trust and respect should never need to be explicitly stated. Implicit is always better. It might be clearer to know where you stand but if you have to ask to know where you stand as opposed to just trusting where you stand with another, then something is missing.
In the end I went. These days, when there is a chance to see someone, we need to take it. Whilst it might be easy for two people to see each other because they live close, or they go to the same university, study the same course, work closely together or something like that, its does not mean that they will see each other often. Just because you can see someone often, it doesn't mean that it will happen.
Take those chances, they are few and rare. They will only get shorter and become fewer. Friendship last as long as we make them last.
I like sitting backwards against the direction of travel on trains and buses for some reason. Er.. what to write about. I'm writing this on the train to Uni, I delibrately missed the train before this one hoping I wouldn't hit the horde of 9 million school students. But apparently there's two trains to school and some of them are in casual dress today.
My day today, literally consist of 9-6 with no breaks. No breaks! I'm not exactly feeling 100% either. But you know, we do what we have to do for what we want. We're just under half way through the semester and not going to lie, its certainly a much larger step up than I anticipated.
I have no idea what I'm doing 90% of the time. Litearlly none. Don't be fooled when you see me nodding, during lectures and tutorials. I'm just as likely to be nodding off into the land of zzz's than I am of knocking to shouw that I'm understanding.
I wrote a 10 page report the other day, not sure how much of it was readable, and literally knew how to write none of it when I first started.
There needs to be a certain arrogance in everything we do. Its like walking into a dark room, not knowing whats in front of us. All we can do is put our hands and arms in front of us hoping we don't run into anything.
Confidence is that arrogance.
In the future, there will be darker rooms, where we can guess less of what's in it. There will tougher challenges of what we need to do. If we're afraid the dark rooms of today, what chance do we have with the dark rooms of the future?
