it's been a while
OK what have I been up to in the last few months?
I've changed jobs and direction quite a lot in the last few months. Have finished my job at UniSA and started a casual position at Minda, an organisation in Adelaide that supports people with intellectual disabilities in various different ways. I'm loving it so far, SO pleased to be away from a desk and out working with people. Am starting to look at various uni degrees to see how I'd like to specialise... the thought of going back to uni is dreadful but I'm really keen to take up a challenge and get some skills that can really help people with disabilities. At the moment I'm considering behavioural science (psychology) and maybe specialising in early intervention. Who knows though! I'm so knew to the industry...
This new job and studying at TAFE have taken up most of my time lately, so I haven't done much. I went away to Innes National Park FINALLY last month... I've been dreaming of hanging out there since I was in the UK. We stayed in the Engineers Lodge which was lovely, and drank too much mulled wine made by my crazy french housemates.
The other thing I did since the last post (which was a long time ago) was go to the Great Escape Festival over the easter long weekend. I helped out at the Australian Orangutan Project tent with my friend Lucky and his girlfriend Sophie and sister Ruwandi. I had a fantastic time camping there for 5 days... it rained the whole time but our spirit stayed (reasonably) high, and I think we ended up making an OK amount of money. I managed to get a high-five from the Magic Numbers which was pretty exciting... well actually Scarlett the orangutan got the high five, I just got their attention. Besides the Magic Numbers I discovered a fantastic Sydney band called The Bird, a funky band called Blue King Brown, and of course biggies like Wolfmother, Gomez and Ben Kweller.
Here's a lovely pic taken by Ruwandi of Soph, Me and Lucky hanging out with Scarlett and Jaxon the orangutans at the AOP tent. You can find some fantastic photos by Lucky the photographer on his mullotgod.org page.
I don't really have any more news right now. A lot of people are heading off to the UK in the next few months and I'm starting to get itchy feet again, but I need to be in Australia for at least another year so I'm trying to calm the itch!
If anyone's still reading this blog thanks for coming by!
More updates once I've done something!
