frustration

every single plan I've made since i've got here has crashed and burned (and then exploded for good measure)!

working as a camp counsilor in america apparently cost between R9 000 and R12 000 WHY do they advertise less?! maybe that's a stupid question but it would have saved me a lot of typing about my qualities and skills if they just advertised truthfully. I think one of the skills they test is essay writing. the amount of personal statements that I wrote...

anyway the other option in a working holiday somewhere so i look into New Zealand. South Africans aren't welcome -_- we are not allowed visas!

now i'm looking into australia or maybe even china or maybe i'll just explore good old south africa some more. i haven't seen a lot of it. i'd like to see the drakensburg mountains, maybe even climb some of it if i feel active :)

so i'm keeping my chin up and my eyes open for opportunities

on other matters; i went fishing yesterday. ok we didn't catch anything but while i was standing thigh-deep in the water, i thought "this is nice". we had a braai (barbeque) behind us and the sun above us. it was idyllic.

It's good to be home

update

just to let you guys know what i'm doing in case you thought i'd given up on life or something.

at the moment life is pretty monotonous. i'm studying for january resit exams : this i fear is not going well. i'm not motivated enough because ive done all the work before so it's lost all the excitement. but i'll try my best
i've still got my job at macdonalds, saving for a trip one day. maybe apple picking in new zealand with my friend sean or a summer camp counselor in america or maybe even the thailand trip or trip back home to SA.
and i'm still playing hockey, i'm much fitter than i was so thats good :D

the future is still wide open
