Musing the Second
Hello...again !
If you read my first post over a year ago you have probably guessed that I had forgotten about this little blog of mine, and have, by chance, just remembered it.
Times have moved on since I last wrote in this blog, over a year has passed. So a little update about me. I did get my MA in Romantic Literature after all, I know, I'm as amazed as you. However after getting that degree in September of last year, 2014, I had been more than a little unemployed. After months, and months of seemingly endless job interviews I ended up working back in the museum. As that was seasonal I began working there again in April of 2015 it finished around the 14th of September. This leads me on to the subject of how I remembered about this little blog of mine. Earlier this week I began my journey towards a PhD (hopefully), after lots of meetings the whole registration process should be completed by tomorrow and I'll then officially be able to say that I am no longer unemployed or a museum assistant and am now a student again. I rediscovered this blog after talking to a fellow PhD student (who has almost completed his) that a blog is a good way to keep yourself sane while you embark on endless research. It seems that as the PhD is research based, with literature this will involve no end of sitting alone and reading, it is wise to talk to people in the real world. otherwise you would just be sitting alone and researching, so that's what this blog is an attempt to do.
I am a sociable person but I'm also fairly shy and find it difficult to talk to new people. Maybe this blog is my attempt to talk to people, become more sociable but in a safer way....safer isn't quite the word I mean but I can not think of an alternative so bear with me. It feels safer in that, in a conversation with people in the real world I can never tell if I am boring people or not, i'm unsure whether people actually like my company. With this blog I feel like I can talk to you and you can choose to read, or not read, entirely up to you.
I will be blogging more often as this course progresses (hopefully, now I've remembered about the thing)
The posts here will be sporadic, may be rambling in nature, may be entirely uninteresting. Who knows...but, it will be my attempt to talk to people more than I do. Not sure whether I have some form of social anxiety, but meeting people scares me a little (everyone may feel like this when meeting new people, I have no idea, it's not something I've ever asked someone else)
I do not even know whether anyone will actually read these blog posts, other than me.
But if you, stranger, are reading this blog then first of all thank you, and second I'll try to keep posting more often.
If no one reads this blog, then it will be updated, when I remember, and it will be used to track my thoughts, interests and basically anything else I feel like writing about.
That is all for now, I am planing on writing a post tomorow about my interest (obsession?) with Sherlock Holmes. That will be a purely self-indulgent blog post (although in fairness, isn't that what some blogs are anyway?).
So, goodbye until tomorow.
