planetcake
so i finally registered for this cake decorating course at planetcake :D
after weeks and weeks of mulling over whether it's too expensive, whether it's worth the money.. blah blah blah, i finally did it.
it's that time of the year now, when students one year away from graduating (yes, that'd be friends our age who did 3-year-long degrees) have entered into the flurry of applying for internships so that they can secure themselves a much-coveted graduate position. i hear the number of these positions are dwindling with the GFC on our backs and all. it's an odd feeling. on one hand, i'm envious of the friends who will start working in the near future. it seems like a whole new stage of life - after work drinks, work schedules (omg, 9 - 5 with only 4wks annual leave), flying overseas for work, having colleagues (!) they'll have taken that final step of independence - leaping into the air and testing out their wings.
and me? i'm not even midway through my course. it's awhile away yet.
there are so many things i want to accomplish before i start working. having a job is almost like having kids, it really ties you down. i know most people say that you can work and you can still do all the things you want to do (and with more money) but how many of those people really chase their dreams when they're chained to a desk?
these are some of the things i want to accomplish before i start working:
- one semester in prato on exchange
- as many internships as i can
- volunteering at legal aid
- getting through as many planetcake courses as i can (this is really really exciting)
- teaching english for half a year overseas
- learn to play the guitar
- pick up another language
the cake course is the first step. i wanted to pursue things like music but like most hobbies, it requires time commitment. the cake course seems like the perfect alternative.. fun and interesting, and once i learn it the skills will stay with me.
hooo.. i'm excited!!
did i mention the cake course is in sydney? ;)
