Reality is what you make it.

I am really enjoying my PhD at the moment – I mean really enjoying it.  Like the laughing, smiling and occasionally snorting kind of enjoyment.  I am trying to figure out why what last month was “the biggest mistake of my life” is suddenly one of my greatest sources of joy.  Surely the ethics approval helped.  Also, starting interviews has been fun.  But even things that should be tedious like scheduling appointments, sending emails, filing documents and transcribing interviews is fun.  It can’t be that I love to transcribe.  It isn’t quick (takes heaps of time) or mindless (although, I can’t let myself think too much or I forget to type).  It is just that I can find the joy within the activity.

In fact, it seems that I have decided that this is enjoyable and just like that it became enjoyable.  Well if it is that easy to make my own reality, perhaps I should start making my own reality more often.
