Direction

I’m at the age when I’m being confronted with lots of decisions and questions and I feel at a loss with providing answers. The scary thing is that I still think I’m doing better than most people. I know where I want to apply and want I want to study but I’m not sure about what I want to do after that. I was talking about work experience the other day and I could not narrow down what job I was interested in. I suppose that is partly the point of work experience but there are just far too many choices.

Of other interest I got a reply from Headstart offering me a course on “Systems Engineering” which wasn’t one of the ones I wrote on the sheet but looks interesting. The internet is scary, a couple of minutes after I twittered about the offer someone who studied Systems Engineering at Loughborough University (where the course is happening) twittered a reply saying it’s really fun and that I should do it. If thats not scary then I’m not sure what is. The internet is giving us the power to connect in ways that people never considered before. The amount of websites out there to find your perfect date and to test your compatibility with someone are almost endless. Its all very interesting but I don’t see the internet replacing the normal (physical) way of meeting contacts in the near future.


  • NUMBER of websites, not amount. Amount is for amounts, number is for numbers. "The internet is scary, a couple of …" should have a semicolon or hyphen (I think), not a comma ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_splice )

    The internet and web give us myriad possibilities, but you abuse them with bad grammar! :D

    You know what you want to do at uni, that's pretty good!

    When you meet people over the internet you cannot tell at all whether they are being honest so I'm quite sceptical about the idea of internet matchmaking. The internet is pretty scary though; like when my friend completely randomly watched 'Them' on the internet then talked to me about it. I was very freaked out by the odds of it etc..
