Today, I dropped into see my new boss to get the ball rolling with my new job.

It was a relatively mundane day at work and when I was informed that a study pack was on its way to me I got rather excited. I spent most the afternoon drawing up study timetables, diarising my life for the next two months, mentally purchasing a desk and surfing the web for relevant literature. And then it dawned on me, am I really sad? Or do I just care about my career. Many a person has said to me “you don’t die wishing you had spent more time in the office”. True. But the sad reality of it is. I really enjoy studying and working. Don’t all heckle at once.

I’ve done a fair bit of revision in my time. Maybe enjoyable is the wrong word, ‘immune’ may be more realistic. Undoubtedly, the promise of new employment following study and assessment spurs the mind on slightly. But even so? Who knows. To me the rewards are paramount. My dream job.

But for now I’m working on the premise do what you enjoy. You live one life. Regret later, live for now.
