The last week of my 2 month holiday is over, next week it's winter school. I think I'm happy about it. Holidays are great, but mostly when they're full of good friends, adventures and spending money ;) And I have caught up with a lot of friends here, but I've spent most of the time reading, studying, exercising etc by myself. It's been good, it was really hard to get time to myself while I was in Beijing. Both cos of time restrictions and the lack of physical space! And I need time to myself. But I also need to spend time with people, and to be challenged, and I think starting uni again will be good for both of those things!

I have an interview with a recruitment agency this week, they want me on their books, so I'm totally excited! I've applied for trillions of HR, Program Coord and Reception/Admin jobs the last couple of months and not had a single interview, so it's exciting to hear someone say they think I have useful skills! I think I'll wear my new suit :)

I can't believe it's conference time in China and I'm not there! I was thinking back to our team's first conference in Beijing in November last year... I knew it looked good in theory, but I just didn't know exactly how things would go. It was super scary, but so rewarding. I'll never forget the feeling on the first night - a complete high from relief and excitment! I remember hugging Leer and both of us just not being able to stop grinning, cos people thought our session was great. Our team was working together and delegates appreciated it. I hope the new team is feeling this at the moment... Likewise the new team in Sydney :)
