Digital Journal Entry

Hello world!

I actually have a few things to yap about today. Firstly, I finished my dissertation and I’m almost finished with another module, meaning I’m halfway done with my big assignments. It feels good! I’m currently finishing my professional portfolio, which is boring, but I’m glad it’s being done. I’m also near the end of a very busy week of work, and it feels good to be working this much. My paycheck should be nice, and I’m feeling more ready for my travels around Thailand. Also I’m continuing my mission of listening to Rolling Stones’ 500 Greatest Albums of All Time! I started from the best and I’m working my way down, and I’m currently on 40. It’s fun because all of these albums are classics that are important, but most of them are albums I simply haven’t listened to from start to finish. I’ve usually just heard the big single.

I started reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy too, and so far I really love it. It’s an easy read while being super funny and packed with interesting sci-fi ideas, and one stuck out to me. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. There’s a brief idea about a sensation that all people feel when they are far from home, like a literally feeling of goosebumps, but it’s a feeling no human has ever felt because we are always near home (being Earth) but a character has this feeling because he is 500 light years away from home. It made me think a lot and I still don’t know why. I think I like an idea being explored that just simply doesn’t exist maybe? Or the thought that we are so small in such a vast universe? I don’t know why I’m such a fan of this. It’s cool I guess.

I can’t think of what else to yap about. I’ve got a few weeks left, so I’m working hard and hanging out.

Thanks for reading.
