blank slate, new year

The last post I made was in Aug of 2011. I can't believe I've let it slide since then. I had plans on finishing....no, writing my thesis for my Masters degree between then and now. That hasn't happened. Do I feel bad about it? Honestly, no. What I do feel bad about is all the people and times that I sad 'no' because I felt I needed to be home working on it. I would get home and get distracted and not work on it at all. That is what I feel bad about.

Now, I'm not saying that I'm not going to write it. I don't believe having a MA in Organizational Management is going to get me anywhere in my job, it certainly isn't going to help me audition and get to do more shows, it isn't going to bring me closer to my friends, nor will it find me love and romance. My life is not my thesis, or my job. I will write it and finish it because I need and want to - but I don't feel the pressure to do it. I'm not sure if that makes sense so let me try this.

My working on the thesis and my thoughts about it were holding me back from living my life. That is what I feel bad about. I have the education and the knowledge - writing a paper isn't going to change that, nor is the paper I'm going to write prove that I have the education and knowledge. It will prove that I'm able to research and put together a paper - that is all. Actually, it will also prove that I'm able to follow through on something in my personal life. THAT will be the end goal - not the degree.

so, because of that - I'm going to try to be back here a bit more. Share more of this great city I live in, and the friends in my life - my loves: books, music, film, etc. I hope you'll be there as well.

ciao,
