@kimananda - I guess thats what I was trying to say. Its not about the formal learning, its more about embracing everything new and interesting that comes across your path. I’m throwing myself into the London Geek scene and loving every moment of it - I’ve ‘learnt’ so much more these past few months than I ever learnt at RSLIS. Having said that the experiences in Denmark ‘taught’ me so much as well. Have been formally studying for 13 yrs and will always continue to ’study’ but more for my own enjoyment and pleasure. I really want to get back into my music, not because it makes me a better librarian but because it makes me happy. I’ve come to that conclusion, its not the ’study’ I am yearning for, its my bass, piano and singing that I need to rediscover.

@Jeozoline sounds like you need to discover extreme cheese making and then enter into extreme cheese rolling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc1wiOueXAo

‘I really enjoy learning and exploring and doing things, yet when I am studying I loathe it and I put all my time and effort into my work.’

I feel that way often. Although I find the whole research thing ultimately fulfilling (otherwise, I wouldn’t feel the way I do about Tristino and PhD possibilities), I also see great value, and dare I say fun, in doing courses for pure enrichment, where you can attend classes, and read and discuss and learn, but don’t have to write any papers. I’d like to think that whatever else I’m doing, I’ll always be doing that. And in London, there are lots of places to explore in this way, or even just going to lectures. It may provide the extra that you’re looking for.

extreme cheese making - that sounds like a great idea for a hobby - i never could figure out how to get a real hobby myself.. always just putting too much time in school or work.. but extreme cheese making, that would be ideal I love cheese and any hobby that begins with “extreme” just sounds so much more cool..
