I said I'd update this regularly, well I lied

So, it's 00:40 on February 1st and I've decided to give you the pleasure/torture of another blog :P

I've been thinking a lot recently about my future career, and where I'd like to be in 20 years. I have no doubt that many people share my ambitions on this site, and it may seem a bitclichéd but....

I want to be a games journalist.

Honestly, at the age of 20 - there is very little that I find myself motivated towards in terms of a career. I know it is not all fun and games, and I also know that it's an incredibly competitive area but I feel like I'd be disappointed in any other aspect of journalism (I'm currently in my first year of study) and worry about missing the chance.

To be honest, I don't know where to start. Being able to write professionally on a site like this, sharing information with other people who share my hobby would be an absolute pleasure. But that's not now, that is merely a pipedream.

I have 4 months to spare in the summer, completely void of any major commitments or responsibilities, and instead of sitting around lounging playing the games, I want to be spend my time writing about the games. Maybe I'll find a work placement.

I hope.

On a less ambitious note, I still have yet to clear my large backlog of gaming goodness. Getting a PS3 at Christmas has left me with even more games to get through - who cares if I don't finish them all, I'm having a hell of a lot of fun trying ;]
