I'm exhausted from a long weekend travelling to meet up with friends, catching up over calzone and watching the Scotland v Italy rugby match at Murrayfield, the first one I'd ever seen! The photo above is Suzie, Annie and myself (l-r)enjoying the sunshine before the game.
As everyone does, I've been wondering recently what I will do with my life after graduating (2 years away but when did that ever stop me from daydreaming?!) Then I spoke to a friend who is travelling, asking what his plans are when he returns back to Australia and he said "I barely plan the next few days, let alone a year away". That is my main goal I guess, living for the moment and enjoying the now. I'll only be who I am and doing what I am doing right now, so best to revel in it while I can.
Nevertheless, I would quite like to fill up all my spare time abroad with some volunteering plans (I figure the busier I am, the less time I have to dwell!). I am looking into teaching/childcare/human rights and of course interpreting/translating jobs but the latter seems SO hard to get into. I am also really interested in spending next summer working at an orphanage/doing community work, but there seems to be so many companies offering this and other gap year type work I have no idea where to start narrowing down. Please feel free to share your experiences on this! However I worry that if I started doing such work, I wouldn't want to return to do my final year of my degree..
