So my blog turned three in the last few days.
It survived the “Terrible Twos” with sporadic posts on topics ranging from travel, music, books, What’s Next, and study.
What my blog celebrates most is the period of transition that the last three years have been. It started three years ago with a post about The Adelaide Crows close loss to Hawthorn in the 2012 Prelimanry Final and just a week before its third birthday, The Adelaide Crows had a not so close loss to Hawthorn in another final. Most significantly my blog’s third birthday coincides with completion of my Honours Thesis (due in just a few weeks).
Three years ago I decided that I needed a reason to write as I pursued options to position myself for What’s Next and a blog seemed a good idea. A reason to write a thousand words a month, a goal that has well and truly been achieved in each and every month since, by way of blog posts, articles for The Adelaide Review and University assignments that will culminate in few weeks time with about 20,000 words in the form of my Thesis.
So my blog’a third birthday is perhaps best described as the first chapter of What’s Next. It has been a place to experiment; writing about different things and recording thoughts about the stages of What’s Next. Importantly for me it has provided a contemporary record of what I was thinking across a significant period of my life.
Now as my blog enters its fourth year I expect my blog will record events that occur as I move past What’s Next, exit transition and get on with it. It will be a place to write about our three months in Italy, my progress into academia which hopefully next year will see me commence my PhD, and to continue to write about books I’ve found interesting and of course music.
Happy Third Birthday browney237.com.
Congrats to you to for reaching the three year mark! I remember that final home run feeling of the last few weeks before submission, so Good Luck with your Honours Thesis!
Thanks for your encouraging words
