It'll have been thirty years since I wrote this and there are a few things that I want to say to you.
You are currently just about finishing your second year of university, with little idea about what you want to do once it's all over. Furthermore I (you) are kind of thinking that you still want to go into a job relating to computers, instead of something specifically history related. What ever the case though, hopefully its not just a job, in it for the money and good hours. Hopefully you'll have remembered that I've always believed the hours and money don't really matter as long as its a job that's enjoyable and interesting, it shouldn't feel like a job.
Now you probably won't remember but at the time of writing this, grandad and Ann are currently staying over for easter. You remember all of the times that you had to help them, work out their mobiles, or set up their laptops, or fix their printers, etc, etc, etc... Well I'm really hoping that you've still got that love of technology and gadgets that I have now, and you don't need to get assistance in setting up future basic thingy majigs they have out then.
On a more personal note, I'm hoping that in thirty years your still the same kind of person that I am today. I know obviously thirty years is a long time and I'm going to change and grow, how I mean though is that I'm still a good person, and that I'm still curious and inquisitive, that I still have a head full of random facts that I always seem to pick up, and all those other small personal traits. With regards to this, hopefully by now I'll also have meet what I'd feel is my 'other half'. Now again I no my ideas about who that person could be will probably have changed, but again I'd hope that certain things would stay the same namely; that they are also just a genuine good person, real and down to earth, who's quirky, geeky, funny and comfortable in their own skin.
A few quick things; I'd like to still be writing in some form or another hopefully, if this blog was to still going then that would be absolutely amazing, hopefully I'll still be into reading as much, and I'd have made good headway into that massive stacks of books that's piling up in my room. Also I hope that we'll have travelled more, I keep saying that I want to get out and go places and I hope I do.
One last thing, as of right now my only real regret in life was stopping to learn how to play the violin. I have recently been thinking that I'd love to start it back up again, and that really would be one of the best things ever, if I could properly learn how to play it.
To be honest there's no way I can predict what's going to happen a week from now let alone what will happen in thirty years, so you (I) could be reading this in thirty years thinking how wrong was I, and that's absolutely fine, as long as you've had a good life, not wasted it and you don't have too many regrets. Just go with the flow and enjoy the journey.
