It's fascinating how everytime there's something you definitely need to do you can always find a myriad of other, completely unrelated things that grab your attention. It's been happening to me throughout the whole day. I'm trying to work on my journalism assignment (which is actually even interesting and enjoyable to do when I really get to it) but my mind keeps wandering off somewhere else.
Yeah, that almost sounds like I didn't have any control over what my mind is doing - which is sometimes quite true. However, I ought to be able to keep it in check and aim my concentration to the most important task at hand. Not the easiest thing to do, at least for me and without the deadline being the next day.
Well, that won't be a problem for much longer since the deadline in on Thursday. But I'd like to be done with this assignment before then so I could start doing other stuff. Like work.
At least the project progressed a bit today. I watched Good Will Hunting (Gus Van Sant, 1997) [196 on the list]. A keep forgetting how brilliant that film is - so every time I watch it affects me and draws something from deep inside to the surface. This time the fears that Will's dealing with in the film seemed to resonate from me as well.
I suppose it's got a lot to do with this being my third year (and last, at least for now) in Uni and I've already been worrying about what I'm gonna be doing after getting through the last semester this spring. At varying degrees, the fear of the unknown has been troubling me for quite a while and seeing Will Hunting battle with similar fears managed to hit a nerve and draw some unexpected tears. I'm hoping that I can end up contentedly driving off to the sunset at some point this year, having made the right decisions for me.
Anyway, guess I should get back to to the Rare Exports review I'm working on. Lots of ideas, some trouble getting them out of my head and typed into a coherent and hopefully interesting and entertaining form.
