Confession

I am very organised.

I love lists, I love charts and I love pens that automatically give you nice handwriting. My diary is colour coded using various stickers and stamps. I record everything; hours of sleeps, food and alcohol consumption, my budget and the exercise I do.

Its not an attractive attribute I don’t think. Maybe in a job interview but when meeting someone new everyone would like to appear as relaxed and free spirited as possible. This blog is perhaps painting me as incredibly uptight which is very much not true; I hope. I haven’t been nicknamed anal girl; that I know of.

If I was on Girls I would be Shoshona not Jessa. If I was on Sex and the City I would be Charlotte not Carrie. The thing is; I’m perfectly fine with it!

I think there something comforting though about these self-realisations. There is no pretending. As soon as I say the word student blog all I can think of is teenagers with Nikons posting photos of beaches, coffee, and New York runways. But do these things really represent them? This is perhaps similar to the point made in my blog 01 Blogs in Media Education; are blogs a true depiction of a person, or just a representation? And if I am more honest; do I compromise on quality? Perhaps I do need to create a more ‘glamourous’ blog.
