Another year out from College

http://www.glowpunk.com/


My name is Glowpunk. I deferred my third year in Arts last year and need to defer for one more year. I moved to Mexico to take care of some business investments that needed my attention. ( As a result of the global economic downturn) They continue to need my attention and I am not in a position to return to return to NUIG for the year starting September 2010.




My degree is an Arts Degree. I was studying Psychology and Spanish. My last year's study was deferred without problems.(I believe by the Dean of Arts.)



Ideally I would like to recommence my studies in September 2011.



As a result of my present residence in Mexico I am almost fluent in Spanish which I believe will benefit me when I return to College in September 2011.



I am aware that I may not be contacting the right person in this instance, but would be very greatful if you could forward this email to the correct address, or perhaps send me the email address required.



Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Why Glow

http://www.glowpunk.com/


Why Glow? Because emotions and actions are contagious. If you are going to infect someone make sure it is with the gift of happiness and not with negativity.

That is not to say that you are not allowed be down or be unhappy. Sadness is as natural as happiness. You can not acknowlege the existence of one with out the other. But lets keep the balance where we would all like it. Lets aim for a higher percentage of happiness than sadness. Glow more than you fade.

Your world can change in a moment

http://www.glowpunk.com/

In a single moment everything can change, but not the world that takes time.

After a life changing incident the world around you continues as before, but your perspective usually changes dramatically.  The trees where you live continue to grow. There is still traffic on the streets when you wish there wasn't and your heart still beats ( perhaps a little faster than before) to keep you alive and conscious. How you use this new perspective and level of consciousness is very important. You can either glow and light up the world around you or fade into the shadows.

I love the Moon

I like the light the moon kindly provides on the darkest of nights. It fights with the clouds to help us humans see in what would be complete darkness.

Sometimes it wins te nightly battle. Sometimes the clouds are too thick and theobscure it’s glowing face. But what ever the result of the nightly battle, the Moon returns the following night ready to do battle once again. Ready to glow! Are you as resilient as the moon? Do you glow after a hard time or do you hide? Do you help light the ath for others?

Your kids are learning from you! What are they learning?

In the park today I saw two parents of obviously different ethnic backgrounds. They were on bicycles both carrying children in child seats on the back of their respective bikes. The children were obviously of different ethnic backgrounds to each other. The parents were engaged in happy conversation unaware of the actions of the children they were carrying around the park. It was wonderful to see that race was not an issue. We could learn a lot from these kids.




The children were glowing. As the bikes drifted closer to eachother the children reached out to hold hands with eachother and make contact. They wanted to connect. Their parents had set a wonderful example. Ethnic background was unimportant and was not an issue. What invisible learned traits are you going to pass on to your children? Are they traits you want to perpetuate?

Get in Lane

On a big freeway there are lots of lanes. Each lane faster or slower than the next. Some people are in lanes they are moving to fast for, and others are in lanes that they are moving too slowly for. In life at different stages we are in different lanes, we are moving at different rates. Which lane are you in my fellow glowers?




If you feel you can go faster in life and do more, then go for it. If you are you are going to fast and feeling uncomfortable then perhaps you should consider changing for a slower lane. It is all about finding a lane that suits you. No point ending up on the hard shoulder or service lane becasue you were going to fast or too slowly for your abilities. Pick a lane that is for you and Glow for it!
