Random Post #13923

It's been a while since I've posted. I've decided I am really bad at this blogging business, but to be honest I haven't really had much to say the past couple of weeks. With the end of semester looming near, I've spent most of my time madly catching up on uni readings. The good news is that my arm is much better. The hideous bruise has disappeared, it took a while and at one stage faded to a weird green colour, which reminded me of mould on bread (random, I know). But it's gone now. I'm back to driving myself around, for the most part (freedom, hurrah!).

Every semester around exam time I get incredibly contemplative. This year being my final year of uni I keep thinking about what I want to do next year. I didn't apply for any graduate jobs, in fact I'm not even sure if the corporate world is for me. I'm thinking of taking a year off to "find myself" and to travel. Ultimately, I hate making decisions, and this is one that gives me a migraine. Who knows where I'll end up, but in my incredibly contemplative state I agreed to a rather drastic hair style change over the weekend and now find myself with a fringe. Not sure if I like it yet, or maybe it's just the fact that every time I see my reflection I don't recognise myself. Either way lesson learnt: when in a weird contemplative state of mind DO NOT make ANY decisions, including hair style changes.

Search for the "Perfect" Bag

Okay, so one last rumination before I call it a day.

My shoulder has been in absolute agony for the past few weeks. The pain can only be attributed to those incredibly large, heavy and evil law textbooks that require carting around campus. It got me thinking, this is my 4th year of university and I am yet to find the perfect bag that holds these insanely big books, along with a notebook and other necessities like food, wallet, phone, keys etc.

I have gone through many bags. I've tried out a backpack (one from my high school days) but it wasn't the right size AND had very little back support leading to a super sore back. In all honesty I should have known better than using a backpack from my high school days, since back then I used to choose bags based on their appearance. Similarly, I've tried a multitude of large totes and duffel bags, even at times carrying an additional enviro bag purely for textbook toting purposes, and looking somewhat like a pack horse in the process.

I'm not sure what qualifies as the "perfect" bag, but I'm thinking one that holds my ridiculous amount of stuff and doesn't break under the weight a law textbook is a good start. I'm also thinking that it might be in the form of a backpack - especially since my poor right shoulder (which tends to be my bag carrying shoulder) would probably like to share the weight and pain with my other shoulder.

And so begins the search for the "perfect" uni bag...
