First year Arts has come to an end, and I have found within me that I have rushed in to college too fast. I made the decision today to drop out just short of my exams, which I will probably fail anyways.
I love my subjects - don't get me wrong. I love Psychology and Philosophy, principally. But I feel that I can't give them my full self. My real, burning passion and desire within me calls out to a life of music. I'm tired of academia; I need a break. A chance to breathe, think and experience life outside of the walls of education. I know that in a few years time, I will go back to complete my course.
As of now, change is in order. I've sat around too much, watched too much television and spent too long gaming. I'm getting a job very soon which pays extremely well. I'm also going to join the gym, and actually use it this time. I'm going to get back to drumming as much as I can - I've let it slip a bit. I've let so many things slip this year. Stress has had a knock-on effect on my social life, music and general well being. It has also brought about physiological symptoms, mainly being eczema on my scalp.
The wheel of change is in motion.
