The only way to go is up!

Just a little bit about myself before normal posting resumes...
2011 was a strange year for me. After finishing Uni, I drifted through several menial roles, but felt as though I was running on the spot. After having lot of ambitious plans, like working for the BBC or working for Museums, I began to feel like I was losing track of where my life was going. 

Now, as 2012 begins, It feels like things are coming into focus. I have several ideas for my future and I can begin, finally, to move in a straightforward direction. For the last two months I've been working an archivist for Shakespeare's Globe. Everyday I read documents about the founder, Sam Wanamaker, in a constant battle against bureaucrats and greedy businessmen to get the Globe Theatre built. I can't imagine spending twenty years trying to get a project going, but that's just what Sam did. He stuck to his guns and pressed on with his ideas. It's the sort of thing that should inspire people more often.

So whether I get involved with the BBC, or continue with archival work, one thing's for certain. I will keep pushing forward into new areas.
