Life is full of decisions. I mean, in M&S the other day, I had to choose between Victoria Sponge or a chocolate muffin (I went for the sponge by the way, and wonderful it was too!), but it highlights the decisions that go on in life.
Amanda goes on about the indecision I've just spent the last 3 years involved in. My degree was Joint Honours, therefore highlighting an inability to make a decision.
Decisions are tough to make. One of the most agonising things I find in a game of chess is the impasse when I don't have a plan, or there is an impasse in the game when we (the players) seem to be starting again, with no move apparent.
But chess is important. It helps us make decisions, which is important for the brain and the functions within it (and yes, I expect someone to get The West Wing reference).
I have decisions to make. I've made some. I decided to stay at Leeds to do my Masters. I'm trying to make decisions on where to live. I'm starting to make decisions on what I want to do extra-curricular next year. I want to be involved in LS and sit on Union Council, as well as be more involved with the Conservative Party in Leeds. This would be in addition maybe to being a subwarden.
We make decisions based on so many things - lifestyle, upbringing, what we fancy for tea. But they can be difficult to make.
Now, should I end this blog now or continue for a while longer...

I love how "what we fancy for tea" is listed with the other important factors for making decisions (lifestyle and upbringing). Well I do plan my day around what I'm having for tea!
I have a decision for you, to save you some effort...
Stay away from the Conservative Party :p They're bad for you, me, and the rest of the United Kingdom!
Let's face it, you only chose the sponge because that was what I was having! x
Quite probably Mand, although after later examination of the cakes on offer the Sponge was the best :P
Katy - The Conservatives are the future, you'll be one soon (or will stop believing in the Liberal Democrats). There was an article on the BBC this week about how people become more Conservative as they get older.
But my membership card hasn't arrived yet :(
Adam, having something for your tea and then judging later that it was the best choice does not count as making a decision.
And I'll never be a Conservative! I'm from Liverpool, nobody in Liverpool is Tory! Also, just so you know, I've come to hate the Tories even more in the past few weeks. I'd sooner start my own political party than vote for them! I'm already in the process of looking for a loophole in the law which allows me to take down the government without them having any reason to arrest me en route :p
