A little whisper in the dark

He was right, after all

At the early stages of my honours project, Daryl kept telling me to read, and read, but I'm like the horse that you can't lead to water if its not thirsty - but eventually thirsty I became; there was a report due and I needed to make up 15 pages of text.

As the pages started coming together, the technical terms and procedures started to sound like they made some sense, then finally (though rather disturbingly, as end of the semester is near!) I had a clearer idea of the whole honours project. These days I'm busier as there are real things to take care of, materials to avail, measurements to take, people to meet. Time is running out quickly just as everyone has predicted, but only that I had been blissfully unaware.

So there's a real sense of purpose nowadays and I can't say there's anything wrong with that. Having a purpose is integral to being driven to do something. Having something worth fighting for. Even if it means I have to back-track and work doubly hard now to make up for what I did wrong, or didn't do before.

I know I don't have to do all the things I do, but I want to.
