Never Assume...

No matter how hard you try to avoid it, most posts on a blog tend to be nothing but a glorified rant about something that has annoyed the blogger in some way, even if it a trivial subject.

I am pleased to announce that the first post of Smudges of Ink is... no different. ^_^

My personal rant is about making plans, especially when if it concerns work. Regardless of how dedicated a student might be, they always get distracted from work, usually at the worst possible time. As a result work ends up being either late or not to the full standard that the student is truly capable of.

I am just as guilty as the next person when it comes to loosing track of time and no matter how hard I work during the week, I always get to Sunday and realize I actually have very little to show for it.

In an attempt to try and get out of this rut and start producing some proper, industry standard work, I decided to take a look at what work I needed for the week and arrange my time accordingly, allowing for time when I know I cannot work such as on Mother's Day. In the space of less than 24 hours my entire plan fell through.  What was originally a nicely balanced week of work has become a juggling act of work which would be difficult to complete in a month, let alone a week!

Whilst it may sound pessimistic, I fell that it is safe to say that it is never a good idea to assume that everything is sorted and finally going your way because as soon as you feel comfortable juggling with three balls life is just round the corner waiting to throw another two at you.
