Photowalk 1st October 2012

Hmmm, some people seem to be better than me at getting organised x

A website called Trevor

All my lectures, seminars and practical/workshop sessions are taking place over three fulls days on campus, leaving Mondays and Wednesdays as study days. As the course progresses, I’m planning to spend at least one of those days on campus using the facilities and less prone to distraction, but yesterday I spent the day at home. And, yes, I did manage to engage myself pretty well and study for most of the day.

But one of the other things I need to be doing, lets face it, is getting out there and taking more photographs. So for a while in the afternoon, I went out for a walk. And I captured a few images. Some of which I liked, and some of which I didn’t. Most were typical of the sort of things I tend to capture:

I think this may be some peoples’ favourite hashtag, for the time being at least.

Things to tweet about this often occur to me but I don’t quite get around to tweeting them, so I thought I’d blog therm instead while I’m thinking about it. Here are a selection for your delectation:

• School days are not the best days of your life
• Working hard gets you so far, but being easy to work with gets you a lot further
• Your mother is probably right
• Your sister is probably right about all the things you can’t/won’t ask your mum
• Boys/men are not the answer
• You shouldn’t be looking for the answer anyway, you should be working out what the question is
• People really are more interesting than you realise
• You’re right, a lot of organised religion is badly messed up
• In a few years, it will not be considered odd to be an atheist
• In a few years, it will be pretty cool to be a geek
• It really is a good idea to learn languages
• People at parties are not worrying about how cool you are – they are worrying about what people think of them
• Only ever buy clothes that make you feel amazing – this will save you lots of money. You won’t wear the rest anyway.
• You have firm thighs and no cellulite – enjoy it, wear lots of mini skirts
• Never ever turn down an invitation because you don’t know what to wear
• Do buy as many privatised utility shares as you can. Lots of people will do this and you’ll make money.
• People will make lots of assumptions about you – that can be an advantage and can also be a lot of fun
• Listen to other people, they may be very different from you. Don’t judge, listen. If possible, empathise
• Some people are odd. Some people will think you’re odd too – that’s OK.
• You don’t have to decide now what to do for the rest of your life
• Try kissing girls, you might like it
• Punctuation is extremely important
• Cherish your friends, real friends will still be there in 25 years’ time
• One day, you will own a house, and a car and enjoy eating olives
• If you want to learn to fly, you can – just start saving up for the lessons
• When you get a tattoo, your mum will like it – just wait a while
• You will look back every so often and think ‘wow, did I really do that?’

That’s it from me for now. Do feel free to add your own. Thank you for reading J
