The journey so far
Hi all
Sorry all I know its been a long time since a wrote. Happy new year, 2011 is over and 2012 is almost gone but hey who is complaining?
The thing is nothing much has been happening in my life. There has been some sort of truce between my supervisor and I, on the home front there has not been any drama and generally things have been going on smoothly.
The above paragraph is what I would want to happen but its so not true. There has been so much drama that I developed ulcers from worrying. Can you believe that, ulcers because of someone else? No it is not because of a guy, I have never had man-problems some how that aspect of my life goes quite smoothly and is always fun. My drama is from the friend-family-acquittance side of humanity, those group of people can drive you nuts. In order not to be killed by people whose names I will not mention, I can not go into details the cause of the ulcers. Lets just say there was shouting, names calling and the silent treatment. I wish I was the one doing all these but unfortunately I was on the receiving end and I must say there were really hurtful.
The good news is I'm over it now. I didnt seek answers from Oprah or Dr. Phil, my body made sure I got over the whole drama really fast. When you spend the whole night in pain, you begin to wonder if what is going on is really worth your time. Great lesson from that is never dwell on things that are not worth the trouble.
Now that the whole drama aspect is out of the way I can continue with the year and what joy it will bring. I have strong positive feelings for these year so much blessings and favour and the whole lot. I also know I will be doing a lot of one of my favourite hobbies: Travelling. I have mapped out three continents to go to this year
Africa (I cant except it, its like a shadow you cant run from but I also live here and there are some nice things about this continent)
North America (I already have a piggy bank just for this travel, this is going to be the one guilty pleasure I give myself)
Europe (This is an all expense paid trip and I intend to make every moment count. No its not for pleasure its work but then when you love what you do..........)
Since my life revolves round my research, there is going to be a lot of writing to do. I sometimes feel I am a contradiction because I am a researcher and I hate writing (anything academic). I have to do some serious writing this year and I need a lot of grace for that. So I started first with writing out a plan to write out a plan on the list of things to do. So far I've written the list of things to do and from my list I am 1 month and 2 weeks behind schedule. For maths junkies like me you will know that means I haven't started anything on that list but hey the year is still young.
