I had my monthly one-to-one with my manager Garry, and he asked one of the hardest questions "Where do you see yourself in 5 years time".

"ummm" "ummm" "ummm can I have a clue..?"

I have honestly no idea what I want to do next week never mind 5 years down the line.

That got me thinking of all the jobs I wanted to do.

Aged 3 - Red Indian. Mum wouldn't let me.

Aged 10 – Astronaut. Don't like heights and scared of flying.

Aged 15 - High Court Judge. Got bored of Latin and didn't want to wear a wig.

Aged 21 - Marine Biologist. Scared of deep water. Jaws etc.

Aged 26 - Keeping my job. Going OK.

I was seriously looking into the Marine Biology just after I finished with Simon. I always seem to go back into education after finishing a fairly intense relationship.

God knows what I would do if we finished. A PhD. or something.

I would like (I think) to go to university but study something I really like. I was always very good at History at school. The older the better.

I am crap with anything post Victorian. My main area is Ancient Egypt, Maya and to a lesser extent Aztec. Ask me anything about them and I probably know it.

I don't know why I like them so much, I think its because we know so little about them you have to use your imagination to re-create that era.

I really admire people who have done so much to make sense of the little information we have.

But what is stopping me is me.

I am scared as I may find out I am not that good at it or what happens if I lose interest. That would be a nightmare.

I can't get enough of this subject. I would like to combine archaeology with the Marine aspect and perhaps look at underwater archaeology, after all where else is Atlantis likely to be...?
