Some real stuff

So I realise I’ve sort of turned this into a travelling journal, without giving you any kind of updates apart from slightly emotional ones.

So, in terms on embarking upon a journey this is where I’m at:

I have packed some boxes. They contain kitchen stuff, wintery clothes and little tokens of memories such as journals and photos. I reckon I have another 6 at least to go and I’ve had an acceptable quote from a shipping firm.

I’m leaving work in about three weeks, and the country in about five.

I picked myself up from the emotional self pitying ground and have now decided to make things happier, by not feeling sorry for myself. It was my own desicion after all!

Course wise, I have chosen what workshops I will be attending at the aidwork course in Härnösand, and arranged for my sister to drive me to the actual place of learning, Biskops- Arnö, on Monday 24 August.

I have made contact with some environmentalists in Sweden, knowing I shant be deprived once I get there!

I have read loads about Tamil Nadu and have made arrangements to go to the Sri Lankan hindu temple in Tooting before I leave.

Last but not least I have some exciting links:
For Swede tonguers, and this is linked below but nonetheless another mention of the most profound blogger in the Swedish IT atmosphere.

Again, for you Swedes wondering what the heck it’s all about and how Sweden can get involved.

And for Englishers, last but not least! I found this essay about the organisation I’m going to, in English written by a Swede. Warning! It’s a PDF!

As for new beginnings, I can report that they started sooner than I thought. The total and utter fool that Sara Grön is knows how difficult she is making things for herself, without being able to turn around. Not now.
