Overcoming Procrastination! Victory Awaits!

On this cold, crisp, sunny Saturday afternoon, I’m sipping my tea with an overdue essay looming over me on the subject of Film and Gender. I couldn’t quite get into Laura Mulveys article on 'Visual Pleasure' and the word 'seminal' kept rolling around my head.
I couldn't help it - I'm just too excited about the prospect of doing my Masters, to think about everything that needs to come before it could even become a possibility!

I need and must complete three essays from last semester. College starts back on Monday night and then I only have 20 weeks before my thesis is due! It's unbelievable how quickly the past 3/4 years have flown by and how much I have changed whilst trying to stay the same.
I can finally look forward to my future career as it creeps increasingly close.
There is still a long way to go before I get to where I'm hoping to arrive and as a wise man said yesterday 'Leave nothing to chance'.

So instead I will give up my procrastination and listen to another wise man’s words, "I may say that this is the greatest factor: the way in which the expedition is equipped, the way in which every difficulty is foreseen, and precautions taken for meeting or avoiding it."
For "Victory awaits him who has everything in order, luck, people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time, this is called bad luck.”   Roald Amundsen





So let's be having ya!
