yeah.
so going to meet up with this lady at Oxfam in Barton tomorrow.
Sent her an email after there was a post on canberra about needing volunteers and stuff
so I listed all my somewhat related experience
I really don't have a lot
I'm fairly disappointed with myself that I never did anything at all in 2004 in the volunteer/industry experience kind of field. I really didn't two a lot with myself that year.
but anyway
this is the list that I made
Senior Sports Carnival- march 2005.
I was assistant team leader of our group in an exercise as a prac for the subject "planning and processes in sport". We had to train a group of retirement village residents in various games which they were to compete in during the carnival, then organise who would compete in which event.
AFL surveys- March 2005
completing surveys for use by the ACT government at a Swans vs Kangaroos match at Manuka oval
Myfuture footbag demo- Canberra Careers Expo- May 2005
(footbag is the "real" name for what most people call hacky sack)
Was the liason between footbag players performing the demos in various states and the organisers from Myfuture, a careers website. Also helped plan the format for the demo, and performed a footbag demo at the Canberra expo.
Canberra Cycling Club- July 2005
Volunteer marshall during ACT time trial titles.
Milo footbag demos- Sydney- October 2005
performed various footbag demos in a promotion for milo as part of a team of interstate and international players.
Australian National Footbag Council- ACT reprasentavtive- 2005 onwards
ACT representative on the newly formed council for a developing sport. Recently attended the annual meeting of the council whilst competing at the Australian titles in Melbourne.
Capital football- 2005, continuing in 2006
work experience. Mainly compiling a database of Kanga Cup history.
anyhow...this year is going to be the year that I'm just gonna to a lot of volunteering crap, which is not going to make me any more money BUT...will look good on my resume, thereby making me more employable to random sporting organisations.
Also, this oxfam gig could lead to some new connections, as they're not at all a sporting organisation, rather just a charity. They're organising the "walk against want"...this is on the 13th MArch..which is the sunday before overcranked.
i've pretty well decided I'm gonna catch the train there, by myself......cos I'm pretty cool like that. Thinking I'll stay Thurs- Mon...which just means that I really won't miss out on much uni at all. Possibly fly back, not sure yet.
so anyway meeting is at 11AM TOMORROW (just to remind myself)
I'm kinda hungry. Cooking a pie. I'm pretty low on food. I think I have......a few packets of pasta...two garlic breads...4 pies....one loaf of bread.
Hopefully this can last me til the weekend
after tomorrow my budget creeps up to $5 a day. Awesome....
I'm also contemplating if I don't get a reasonable job once I finish uni, I might go to CIT and do this course
http://www.cit.act.edu.au/study/choose/programs/communication/communicationmedia/music_business_diploma/
Which is a Diploma of Music Business
I think having a degree in Sports Management and a diploma in music business could go quite well together. The course goes for a year and a half so that's some extra time to bludge off the government :P
I reckon the plan for the next summer holidays (great how I'm still on these holiday, but already in planning for the next)
will be to go on a random fruit picking adventure or something, try to save up some money
falls in tassy for NYE (should get free tickets through the footbag event)
aussies in hobart early jan
go somewhere else, earn some more money
this is considering that I do finish my degree....which there's a fair chance I won't...
I should..but you never know. I failed a subject each semester in first year.......but I can make up for that so I still finish on time...so that's alright.
