Little by little

 My computer's died. To say I am mightily pissed off is an understatement. Seeing as a lot of people I am close to live all over the place, I need my computer to keep in contact with them.  Yesterday I felt like my arm was cut off, but luckily I have my landladys computer I can use, for the time being, anyway ;-p.

 Life is getting more and more interesting by the minute. Plans are formulation in relation to several things, from my future academic endeavours to adventures of other sorts.

 It is nice to be able to say that things are balancing out, that work is finally letting go of the grip it has had on me. Sure, I am still devoted to it, but it is actually starting to feel as something I can handle as a part of my life, as opposed to the majority of it.

 I have always been a workaholic. I used to do 80-odd hours after graduation. I still feel like I have the potential to slip into that life, but I am finally beginning to see that it is not the best way to go.

 I am finally beginning to realize that you have to plan for the future, but concentrate on what's right in front of you. That's what matters - appreciate what you have, aim higher, and enjoy every moment if you can.
