Productivity from inoccupation.

So here it is.

My new blog that i've been telling myself i'd set up for the past few weeks. A fresh start, so i will begin as such.

Hi there, my name is Matthew Thomas, 'Matt' if i'm not misbehaving. I am a student at Plymouth College of Art studying for a degree in Design for Games. I've just completed my first year, and am therefore looking for something to keep me going over the summer. The quest for a suitable use of my time has led me to the creation of this blog, and i'm hoping that i wont be leaving this one to gather dust for 6 months as i did with my previous effort.

Here's a picture of me posing by the sea. If i post any more pictures of myself, you'll see i do this quite a lot.

I've been using blogger for the past 10 or so months to post the odd excerpt of coursework i've written, you can see my other blog here if you like, it is a mish-mash of pictures and essays that i can only say i'm a tad disappointed with, at least aesthetically, i want my blog to be all pretty and shiny, not for you dear reader, but to keep my absent mind interested.

I joke of course, but over the past few years i have noticed that my mind wanders far too easily, be it in a lecture or sat at home with a blank word document on the screen. All the work you see on my previous blog was born of sleepless nights spent working furiously to meet a deadline that i had known about far too long to let it be a problem. However i realise it is almost a rite of passage for a student to suffer a night or two without sleep on their journey to the black robe and mortarboard. Still, when i see the results i managed to achieve from these last minute efforts i can't help but think how much better i could have done had i put the effort in...

Throughout the next academic year i hope to break this habit, and have a better overall grade to show for it. But anyway, these are just plans and i have a 3 month wait before i can start acting on them, so i will leave it there i think. Come back to this blog to follow my progress over the summer and my next year of college, i'm hoping to make better use of it this time around so you should be seeing more frequent posts concerning my course and anything that piques my interest.

PEACE OUT!
