I'm torn. As if I didn't have enough decisions to make: courses vs jobs, I've now been put in contact with someone who can help me find a teaching position in Thailand. Yes I do realise there are plenty of companies that do all that, but that's part of the problem. I don't know which ones are reputable. But I've got a whole lot of...

I'm feeling a little frustrated. This time last year I was booking up and sorting out my trip which I was thoroughly looking forward to. This year I find myself with a very uncertain future. I have various courses I need to decide between depending on what area of the charity sector I want to focus on. Or not take one at all. And if...

Hey ya!
Yeah i had seen that they are coming over, more than half of the buggers have died since the documentary (Downside of regrouping a bunch of 80year olds!) Very sweet of you to remember though.
How are you doing?....very jealous of your trip!

haha, that seems to be the downside of going away - nowhere else seems quite as grey as home! Any firm plans or just pondering??
I'm not quite back at uni but i will be - The course I'm on is part-time but gives me guaranteed entry to the ba in canterbury (which i've already been told I have got) so it's counting down to it....bout time I figure, had quite enough of the day job!!x

Time flies.
Had a brilliant day out in London with some of my uni mates, I hadn't realised how much I missed them! And now I'm ill and feeling all sorry for myself I wish I was back with them all. Cross fingers after christmas... Went to see the Lee Miller exhibition at the V&A which I thoroughly enjoyed and made me want to pick...

Thanks for the text the other day 
Very wise
Very wise All sorts of smiling at the moment. Nothing in particular has happened and yet I can't help feeling things are on the up. What's really cool is that my mate Rachelle is feeling exactly the same so we found ourselves grinning like idiots on Saturday in the pub.
Ok so some things have happened that are good, they're not huge or amazing but I guess...

The more I look at the charity jobs listings the worse I feel at the moment! I won't let it deter me from at least trying to get somewhere with it but it does dent my optimism. There's an event in London covering working with charities on Friday though so I shall be once again using my day off to spend it in the big...

Yet another member of staff has hurt themselves, not at work I hasten to add. It means that I've been moved from being a ground foor person to dividing my time between first and second. I never have liked being on these floors I always put it down to not knowing the sections well enough but I've realised it's not that at all. It's something...

Thank you very much, I have always enjoyed reading your journals too!
I admire you so much for making the effort to take such a direct approach to human rights issues, I know there is so much more I could do, but haven't yet. You, however are really getting your teeth in to it, which is so inspiring. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles at home and hope your Mum eases up on your Brother.
Good luck with everything and take care.

~ I know people try to live without regrets and I think it's a great ethos but do people who say they have none really mean it? I mean honestly, is there nothing about their life that they regret? When I think about it there's probably a few things I regret having not done but they're pretty inconsequential and I haven't ever really...

Woo Sensible me
Sensible me So been back at Waterstone's a week and it already feels like way longer. I haven't started clock-watching just yet but it's all coming back to me quite quickly (I know I was only away 5 months but I'm forgetful!) so it shall probably start soon. It only took me 3 days to decide I wanted to do a themed bin on alternate reality fiction....

Thank you very much! How about 'Man in the High Castle' by Philip K. Dick for your alternate reality-themed bin? It's one of my favourites.
Good luck with Amnesty International!

Wohoo I have a job! Ok so it's only part-time causual stuff but for now it's better than nowt! And I didn't even have to hunt for it which is even better, Waterstones love me so much that they called me up to offer me some work. It's only while people are ill and until they catch up on stuff they're behind on (probably returns)...

I've just got back from a very wet camping trip in the Peak District. Despite the particularly crappy weather I had fun. I drove Rob nuts behaving like a simpleton at times, but he's used to it and I do make up for it by not being too bothered by anything. I will moan a bit admitedly but I don't bend his ear half as...
