Today has been one of those days where things that happened this morning seem like they were months ago. One thing that has been keeping me very busy is University assignments, which of course seem to be all due in the same week. Although I must admit I am enjoying the work, its much more interesting than anything I have previously done. For Sociology we had to watch the documentary "7 UP" which some of you may know is the first installment of a series that documents the life of 14 people from age 7, it is filmed every 7 years with the most recent installment "49 UP" being released in 2005.

One of the things that struck me about the series is that it was so easy (for most of them) to see where they were going in life. Nearly all of them followed the pattern predicted and it made me wonder what can people see about me? Where do they predict I’m headed? One of the surprising cases in this series is that of Neil, who at age 7, is articulate, intelligent and seems to have a bright future, now I wont spoil it for you but where he ends up at age 49 and more important how he got there is completely different to what could of been predicted.

I have recently been thinking about where I want to be in 5 years, admittedly I am still very undecided. Luckily I am doing a very general degree that leaves many doors open. Although one thought I have been toying with is getting into the IT field, it’s something I enjoy and am moderately good at. A few years ago I made the decision not to follow the IT path any further (ie at a VCE or Tertiary level) and I have recently been left thinking whether that was a mistake. Hopefully I can make a decision soon enough since while I am doing my degree there are many opportunities to study IT at a tertiary level.
