Frustration seems to be the dominant trend of the moment!
\nA million doors are open to me, but the event horizon is fading fast.<\/p>\n

My first instinct in these situations is to go by my gut feeling.
\nBut my gut feeling is to run and hide. And that’s the one reaction my intellect will veto!<\/p>\n

My second instinct is to eat! Preferably large amounts of extremely unhealthy food and chocolate!
\nBut I’m already overweight, out-of-shape and struggling with the fifth floor stairs. Another veto!<\/p>\n

My third instinct is to shop. The materialistic relief of buying something big, fun and very expensive is so close at hand!
\nBut I haven’t had a serious income since I went to Africa in Jabuary and following that instinct would lead to some excruciatingly long meetings at my local bank!<\/p>\n

After that I’m out of insticnts, my intellect spent on analyzing and subsequently vetoing the above 3 options, I’m also low on brain-waves.<\/p>\n

There is an imminent danger that that will lead to some catastrophically deranged, passtimes, such as getting exceedingly drunk and apathetic for an entire weekend, thereby achieving in one blow what my entire inteelectual capacity has spent the week vetoing: Hide in hangver land, put on weight from the combined calories of 15 oints of Guinness and spend the last of my disposable income (or should I say credit rating)…<\/p>\n

Wow, that would be pointless, and fun……<\/p>\n

Cheers<\/p>\n

Do I want a masters degree? I have come into a little bit of money, which suddenly opens the option of going abroad to study. And people close to me, tell me I could probably get into some very interesting programs in the world of Technology and the Developing World….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
