Sunscreen Summer

I finished my very last exam yesterday! (It didn’t go brilliantly but cheers for asking anyway) so today as I read in the news that prospects aren’t great (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8067289.stm) or that I should emigrate (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8065615.stm) I thought I should finally embark on the idea I had 3 vulnerable years ago when credit crunch sounded like something you might get at Ben and Jerry’s. I am going to write a blog. Ok so it’s not novel and far from unique but I think it’s a way to broaden my horizons, right? No?  Well ok I’ll keep at it anyway. As I said in my first post I have been listening to a lot of depressing yet inspirational music during the last few months of student life. ‘Sunscreen’ by Baz Luhrman is one such song and 10 years down the line, as corny as it is I think it is, its pretty, pretty good. So instead of dwelling on recession depression I now hail this my Sunscreen Summer.  A summer when I take Baz’s advice (I don’t think it was his but we all know where the pay checks going right?) in an attempt to do something productive and not worry about what a possible 2 or 3 years of unemployment might do to my CV. So let’s have it Baz: well the core part of his advice is wearing sunscreen, cuz everybody’s free to apparently, if you can afford it that is.  Lets skip that Baz, what else?

 

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not 
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.

 

Ok… So power and beauty of my youth…although according to Baz, I’ll never understand it till its gone. That’s today’s objective. Full on, self love. Ok that came out wrong…

 

Moving on, based on today’s objective I might rock my gladiator sandals. Gladiator sandals for men? Still unsure. Answers on a postcard or in comment box please.

 

So to wrap up. I intend to live my life for the time being to the gospel according to Baz. That’s my initial objective. Baby steps.

 

Long term objectives include getting out of my overdraft which brings me to my stats, which I will constantly update in my blog profile and let you know on twitter (www.twitter.com/2minute2minute4) if you’re interested that is. Let’s see how this goes shall we?

And so it begins…

  Right at this very moment I have no audience which as a student who is graduate limbo is an important thing. Also I'm a huge attention seeker. This blog is nothing but “my own meandering thoughts” yes I have been listening a lot to Baz Luhrman's sunscreen recently. Don’t judge me it’s the educational equivalent of eye of the tiger. At this stage I will attempt to blog about the weird and wonderful. However the basis of my blog is being in the same boat as many, many other people. The newly departed leavers of education (fragment consider revising).  I hope to hear and share all your anxieties along side lots of other random and interesting stuff. So before I put this blog out there to the scrutiny of my friends I put out there in the hope some of u guys might take a bite. This is the online blog of me, 2minute2minute4. Until recently an English student who is about to join the big bad world. Let’s see how this goes shall we?
