About Me

well! i've just finished my master's thesis and am now on the Job Prowl. it's a sitcky situation - i want to travel more and see more things and have more new, exciting adventures... but at the same time, i want to get away from this city and do something i love. i can't handle another 6 months of something crap so i can go on holiday for 2 months. and hey, if i get a government job, i can take unpaid leave and go on holiday for that long anyway. argh, what to do, what to do...in the meantime, a friend and i have set up a website girls in the corner . i love writing and critically assessing popular culture - that's all in there.basically, i'm very confused at the moment - trying to figure out what it is i really want vs. what i think i should want vs. what i need. blech!!
