January.. yuck!
Hello!
I haven't posted for ages, even though I probably promised I would. I guess I can attribute that to uni - which I suppose is a good thing.
Anyway.. I had a lovely Christmas with mum and dad, and brother and sister, and those crazy dogs. But like Australia, it now seems so very far and long ago.
I'm three weeks back into uni now - for those of you who don't know, I'm doing a masters at Edinburgh University in Geographical Information Science (GIS). For the uniniated, we make maps with computers.. and the stuff that goes with it. It's going well - save a few hiccups - and am about to launch into my final dissertation in the next few weeks when the taught element of the course finishes. I won't go into too much detail - but if you are interested in the techy, geeky side of what I do.. hop over to my blog.
It's a year now since I left for Australia - and yes I do miss it. Perhaps not the intense heat, but a little bit of sunshine would do me good! It was Australia day yesterday, and the Aussie Open tennis finals are on this weekend.. just like last year. Not sure where I'm going with this.. suffice to say I had a great time, and thank you to all who made 2006 such a great year. Mum and dad especially. Sophie too. And the fantastic people I met down under, and had the pleasure of working for.
So what does the New Year bring? Well, I have a part-time job doing GIS related work in Edinburgh for one day a week. And I have a hell of a lot of studying still to do. And then I'll have another crack at this career stuff. Maybe. :) Oh and I'll start playing hockey again soon! honest!
