a failed plan and new plans
My life is lovely in a way, but it is also too easy. I just live for the weekends with my boyfriend and recuperate during the weekdays. I feel I do not really have my own project. Yes, I have my thesis, but I seems to have dropped out of the rhythm.
So I decided I needed something just for me, something new. I enrolled in a course of jewellery making. But alas, it didn't work for me. It was very noisy, I have a tremor in my hands and this didn't help with the precision work. And I got very very stressed every day I had the course (it was in the evening so it meant a whole day in an anxiety warp) So I decided to drop out.
Now I am pondering for a new project. Maybe I should start with something I know I love. I've come up with 2 possibilities. A friend has done (and is still connected) to a refuge house for asylum seekers. They need volunteers to cook for the group. (that would be 15 to 25 people). That would be independent work. Kinda daunting :-)
The other option is a project especially aimed at people who cannot hold regular work due to psychiatric problems. It is a bakery where you can learn the trade. I haven't phoned for more information yet, so I don't know the particulars yet about how much time they want you to commit and how it is organized and such.
So, I am pondering. Guess I will phone the bakery people next week (I tend to need some time before I do something) and see how attractive that possibility is.
