Surely not?

This photo is incredible, it looks like it has been constructed for some hollywood film purpose. But no, this is not the case. Apparently in Spain they ride a horse through a bonfire in honor of Saint Anthony, the patron Saint of animals. hmm..? OK. You learn something new everyday.

'To infinity and beyond!'

Today I'm feeling inspired and motivated to take on the world! Ok perhaps not the world but at least university. This semester I'm hopefully going to get a head start and power on through to do things I am proud of. I do work hard, I'm not saying I don't, but I want everything to count, every bit of effort to ooze out of my blood and sweat for the next six months. This is the plan anyway, but how many plans do we ever stick to? This one I plan, to plan, to stick to.. This could get confusing, so I will stop.

Dissertation is well under way and coming to an end. An end that will have a beginning again with re-drafting and prof-reading but oh well, it will still be an end. Not that this is necessarily a good thing, I have enjoyed it and learnt a lot from it, so maybe I will feel sad when it becomes finalised. We will soon find out.
