Having completed univeristy last year, I started full time work on January 10 as a technical writer/desktop publisher. It's rather monotonous, and definitely something I do not want to do for the rest of my life, and the money isn't the best (although better than no job at all, obviously), but I'm looking at this simply as an experience and chapter of my life: it's a way to boost the resume, get used to the 9-5 rat race, and anticipate greener pastors.

I have been relatively happy so far, and I hope I can sustain it come the Fall and Winter, not letting a pseudo Seasonal Affective Disorder take hold of me. Life is far too short to be depressed and anxious. When you realise the impermanence of your life, things seem a tad better.

I am still unsure about my future. I wish to move to Melbourne, perhaps near the end of this year. If I am able to save money from my job, travelling Europe would be amazing. I think I can save -- there's just a few things I wish to buy first: a telescope, a touch sensitive keyboard. I think that's it!?

I believe I'll probably return back to university soon. I want to be a psychologist, but that would take far too long to do; maybe a councillor or something, alternatively.
