A Place to Think

I have severely neglected my Blip duties over the past few months. Perhaps referring to this project as involving "duties" says something about how I feel when it comes to the routine of uploading photos every day. I lack self motivation to do anything that involves repetition, and my inherent avoidance of routine fails to acknowledge what the rest of me does - that Blip Foto is creative and innovative idea.

This lack of motivation is the very reason I decided to take on this project, with the thought that taking, uploading and writing a small description of photos every day would be easier than a full-on blog. After a mere seven days (and not even seven consecutive days) of journal entry, I failed.

But this is the second chance I am giving myself. I will characterise my absence from Blip as a feature of my Quarter Life Crisis. So in a way you could say that, despite my absence, I have at least been faithful to the theme. Nonetheless, here we go again...

I moved back to Oslo in May and have been working here over the summer. Not knowing nor really caring what I was going to be doing or where I was going to be in the next few months was liberating. Now I have been offered a job in England, and it is now time to put summer behind me and really think about my next steps.

This photo is taken on the grounds of the university campus, Blindern, in Oslo. It's located right beside the department for humanities, a perfect place to sit and philosophise. A much needed place to be today.



(A rather sombre post today... I will try to make them wittier and more interesting. Although, a sombre post or two is to be expected with a journal titled 'A Quarter Life Crisis'!)
