Time

I've just begun this awkward but exciting new chapter of my life. After living as a student for the best three years I could have hoped for, I've suddenly found myself back at home with no studying left to do. Ever. It's really, really weird. Rightly, my life is very much geared around job-hunting and seeking out the 'e-word', that all-important relevant experience. When I meet up with friends, we fill each other in on which applications we're doing and any progress which has been made, at the same time as trying to convince ourselves the summer isn't over by drinking a lot of iced frappuccinos. But these topics of conversation can get boring, and we know it. We listen to ourselves becoming these obsessed people who can't seem to talk about anything else, and it's slightly worrying.

One of my good friends always says the thing about employment is that when you have a job and therefore money, you don't have as much time to enjoy it. So, I feel like for now, whilst it is difficult to relax into it, I should try and enjoy the free time that does come my way. I'd like to use this blog as a means of sharing some of the ways I fill this time - some of the things I watch, read, eat and listen to, a few of the places I go and things I do - to review and recommend them (or not as the case may be). It could be anything from a day out, to a couple of hours spent watching a film, to a three-minute song (hence the ingenious title). Hopefully this will help me embrace some of the free time I do have at the moment.

I've really enjoyed writing on my tumblr account (which can be found here), but recently my posts have become longer and longer, so I figured I may as well finally start a regular blog - hopefully people will enjoy reading it too. And I promise the next one won't be so self-indulgent, it's hard to write an introductory post without banging on about yourself too much!
