Dave; Forward Planner

Steve asked me yesterday "if you could run one business for yourself what would it be?". I had no idea which is the answer he expected apparently but i thought about it and i realised something like ive done before, running an after school care/summer scheme for kids. i loved that! i kinda have an idea of a job if i could get the money/location! its vague/probably never gonna happen but how cool would it be to have my own business!!

and right now im doing counselling via texting and im helping a lot of people and im really enjoying it, i want to take a counselling course now to put it into better action or get a job where they'll put me thru it cos i know i wanna do community based stuff but i really like this... it feels really good.... im really glad i came here, i might have some ideas for when i come back to the UK... lets hope it sticks!

also, i have an idea for more ACTUAL writing, shame my grammar sucks huh?!?

update

Hey all, remember moi? well Ive done no writing since i got here which is a bit poor to be honest so I'm gonna just summarise whats been happening to keep you all up to date:

work wise; sorted out some stuff with epilepsy New Zealand to start up a youth project which ill continue to monitor from Scotland and I'm working for Youthline doing a mix of odd jobs, hands on youth work and some helpline stuff.

Fun wise; been making myself get used to the taste of beer cos cider is rare and expensive. had a couple of good nights out and seen a lot of cool sights, also got a camper van booked now to go from Christchurch back up this way as of the 14th. been to a rave even and bought myself flight of the Concords for the equivalent of about £8... exchange rate is pretty good over here btw...

kiwi people are generally really cool too which is a bonus but alas i do have to pay for the busses :(

i shall hopefully start to update more frequently soon.
