Well I can’t believe it has been 4 months since I last posted. Time really does fly by, its scary really! I went to watch Bridget Jones;Mad about the boy with my sister the other day and it really got us reminiscing. How young the cast looked in the first film to how they look now. It’s like we have grown up with them and we are all aging way too fast! It really makes me think about what I have done in life and what I have yet to achieve and experience. I need to make the most of my time, and thats exactly what I have been doing the last few months.

Since my last post I have been finding new projects to work on as well as starting my own. My own project will take time but there has already been some positive communication, so thats good. Meanwhile I have joined a new charity and I will be off to Uganda for 6 months in June. I have never been to Uganda, so as much as I will miss Zambia, I am looking forward to seeing new places and new healthcare systems. So watch this space for my Uganda adventures!

I have really enjoyed my projects and I want to build a career on global health and education. So at the end of last year I started looking into a masters, however I was told that the degree modules I had done was not enough and I would have to do a whole degree! This was not what I wanted to hear and didn’t fancy spending 3 years at university. Luckily I found a top up degree on-line thats for 12 months, perfect! I started my degree top up in January and I am really enjoying it. It also makes me feel good that this will open a lot more doors for me. I haven’t done essay writing for a lot of years though, so its taking a lot of brain power!

Another exciting update is my book! The first 3 chapters are complete and the next 2 are nearly done. I have had a few meetings with my editor and publisher, so things are really moving forward. It’s so nice to have people that really believe in me. It is taking me time to write the book, as I have to think about some difficult situations from my past, which isn’t always easy, but I am really enjoying it and proud of what I have achieved so far.

I think thats everything for now. My head is like a whirlwind, but it will all be worth it. Hopefully I can get a holiday in before Uganda!
