Hello all – haven’t posted in awhile for fear of drowning out the other voices, but seems like y’all back on board for another year!

Yup. Still here. This is my 4th :O year with ONLY TWO MORE SUBJECTS LEFT! Who’s excited? I’m excited. Yet, again – time for application flurries (I’m aiming for 2012 at this stage!) and job hunting… the one I presently have will be finishing when classes commence.. oh – shout out to all the Orientation Hosts! I see there are a few bloggers who are hosts (and a few newbies who will be hosted) For the hosts – you may have had me interview you – or be at your training sessions helping run the thing with my colleagues. For the hostees – I was in the office next to you while you were being interviewed! hehe. (and read all your applications :p).

So. What’s been happening? Well, been working on and off over the summer – (more on than off now that Orientation is so soon!) – last time I left you was New Years Eve I believe, in the event control of Etihad Stadium… intense!.. three days later I then started a subject online called ‘Global Citizenship’ with The University of British Columbia – which is going along swimmingly, the subject consists of lots of reading, blog writing and discussions, which is actually hard to co-ordinate when you find yourself 16hrs ahead. So I lie – three more subjects left – but this one finishes in April.

Urm. what else? – na, that’s all I think. Love the first years – glad you’re all so excited. So get out there! Do stuff! Live life! and if it doesn’t work out exactly as planned… Who cares?! You know what’s funny?…
