Grey

Today is grey. The sky is the colour of unlit lightbulbs and the rain is drizzling so lazily, I don't think it could be any more uninspiring if it tried. I had no uni this morning so I enjoyed a lie in until almost 11am. When I finally rolled out of bed, I had to turn all my lights on because it was so gloomy.

I've spent the last few hours drinking coffee, reading blogs and watching Top Gear. I've been making a conscious effort to think about my dissertation though, sadly I still hate design at the moment so coming up with a topic is proving difficult. I can't find an eloquent and articulate way to word "why design can't save the world/why designers should all go out and get real jobs/why design is overrated in the design world". We had a seminar yesterday with Ewan Steel which was quite interesting, he assured me we'd find a way of putting it. My confidence was further enhanced when we were leaving and he announced "you're all going to do just fine... even Jo". Here's hoping.

We can't go back

Becoming the person you want to be shouldn't feel this way. It shouldn't be so numbing.

NaNoWriMo

I found out today that it is National Novel Writing Month.
I used to write a lot but these days I never really feel the need to. Perhaps I'm suffering from terrible writer's block. Or perhaps I'm just not trying? Either way, I have decided to write more. It's probably good for me.
