a little ramble

Aug 20, 2009 12:21

Mid thesis I can't find the time to write much anywhere but it's been so long since I've had a blether here that I thought it time to write again. I've been so flat out with writing, finishing weekly assignments, working in the school clinic, playing the occasional gig and rehearsing with various bands that everything else seems to suffer. I know this isn't going to be life for very long, and indeed once school finishes, government financial assistance stops and real life begins again, it will be strange and abrupt. I have an interview with a casting agency to get a little extras work over summer which I hope comes through. I loved doing this when I was in Edinburgh and since more and more productions are being filmed here and my friend in Film Victoria can give me the lowdown on which films are going to go into production in Melbourne I may be able to find myself a bit of work that way.

I HAVE to get overseas next year. I've been burning to get away for the last 2 years especially. Each plan fell through, Iceland didn't work out, Toronto was a no go and moving back to Edinburgh seemed ideal but I just couldn't bring myself to return to where I was 6 years ago with no qualification or chance of doing more than I was doing when I left. There has to be a progression and since I'll have a degree and be able to plan ahead a little, I can hopefully find some aid work to do on the way to the UK, some training to do there to improve my chances of getting work in the health field of an aid organisation, and a little further down the road of medical anthropology.

I seem to be losing weight too. Weird.

Right now it's midday, I'm still in bed and only part way through my essay about herbs to use in the treatment of urinary tract infections.
