Back in the Shire

This small town girl is back in the small town and making more and more preparations for the research project. After returning from the cold city of Leeds and having the rents spoiling me with food, letting me have as many baths as I want and sometimes even control whats on the TV. I am a bit bored and thought I needed to inject some motivation back into my life.
Yesterday I had a "realisation" moment (more of a tearful stressful panic), what am I going to do after University when I am free in the big wide world? Which, I don't think I am ready for I still feel like I can call myself a child and my mum doesn't help with her giving me the life long nickname,baby ha! I began IMing several of my friends as a bit of a safety clause (are they worrying about it ? If they havent done anything does that mean I shouldn't?) as a conscience massage, which unsuprisingly didn't work.
Three days ago I started to prepare for work, I took that (NOT SO) gigantic step of buying a notepad from Woolworths on its deathbead which I could dedicate souly to the project. So after that earth changing step I decided today that I would do something more productive after attempting to do some excercises I moved on to researching the music industry, by listening to Radio 4. I listened to a radio 4 programme all about EMI, the take over by Terra Firma, the history etc and an interview with the executive Guy Hands.
That little step has urged me to arrange more interviews, but as I wait for replies that could wait another day.
With so many resources we have at our finger tips I think I could admit that we are one lazy generation, I proved this last night when I thought the answer would just fall into my lap. Instead of panicing on this issue I think I am now distracting myself with more recent work! But I am powering through to find these answers .....
