I'm permanently angry. Seriously considering getting rid of this list and starting my own. Right so, things that have happened since our last encounter: UCD lost to UL 56-6 (that's 6 points better than last year), one more essay finished leaving me with four, Smedia shortlists came out (congrats to sarahisnothere), and I've deleted my facebook account.
Despite my original enthusiasm for the idea I have somewhat taken my foot out of the journalism door and it is now open a crack because I've left one toe in. It's not pleasant learning your own limitations however if my time in UCD has taught me anything it is that I am neither gifted nor talented, I am painfully average. As such in a world so already full of average and god-awful writers there is little place for me to find my spot. I needed to grow up and realise that I (much like Social Circuit) was only fooling myself with dreams of success. I should be used to second place at this stage.
My date for surgery has been finalised as April 13th, a Wednesday. I'll only be in hospital two nights (in the Bons Secours if anyone feels like visiting).
I wonder who'll read this now that I haven't facebook to link you to it...
I read it...
