Good morrow internet travelers, and welcome to my newly created blog
'The Mull-Bag'. A space I intend to use to discuss a little bit of this
and a little bit of that. First of all I'm going to be honest because
honesty is a virtue we must all adhere to if we hope to maintain any
kind of self worth.
I am an unreliable writer. I tried to post to my previous blog frequently but struggled to motivate myself to do so. It eventually got to a stage where once every few months I'd remember about it and promise my barely existent readership that I would stop being so lazy and start posting regularly. Looking back I appeared to be a liar the majority of the time, but as the bearded rapper/poet Scroobius Pip once prophesised "is a lie really a lie if you meant it at the time?". I digress. One of the reasons I set up my previous blog was to encourage myself to write often and to generally improve my writing style. At the time I set up my previous blog I was applying to various Universities and perhaps foolishly thinking a blog would somehow improve my chances.
Now several years later I am approaching the end of my degree in English and am being forced by the pressures of society and others to decide what to do next. If I've learnt one thing at university it is that I enjoy the world of academia. The long lie-ins, the day time drinking, the strange and interesting company and perhaps most of all the development of my own understanding of myself and the world. For these reasons and more I've decided that I'd quite like to continue being a lazy smelly student who has no real worth in a capitalist society... Sorry budding industrialists.
So now it seems like that the next logical step is to pursue a post-graduate qualification of some kind. I quite like the idea of eventually earning a PHD and becoming a certified Doctor of books and words and such but that may be an unachievable goal for financial and motivational reasons. I do however believe that I have what it takes to achieve a masters, so I think that's what I shall do.
So for the second time in my life I have decided to start a blog to encourage myself to write more often and hopefully entertain a few people along the way.
Here it is.
