Stock-taking...

It seems almost a ritual for me to take stock of my life every now and then when i have the time.
It seems to be a pretty good time to do so now, when life at nie is quite a bed of roses. (All right, those of you who are complaining about why we're taking taxpayers' money and slacking, read my previous posts about how bad life was for the first two terms! :P And plus the practicum..)
Dance seems to have taken the backseat. Somehow, lindy just doesn't register on my list of priorities anymore. I've seen this day coming. But considering that i started dancing when i was 19, maybe it's time to move on. Probably jaded by the lack of opportunities and vibrancy in the local arts scene. Or rather the lindy scene.

Suddenly have this overwhelming urge to spend my time to do volunteer work. I mean i've always wanted to do it. I did contemplate studying social work in uni but was drawn by the glamour and seemingly exciting life of studying mass comm.
Turned out to be glamour not!
Anyway, will have to put this thought of volunteering on hold first. Need to see how busy i'll be for my first yr of teaching. If i'm going into it, it'll be long term. So i'll have to make sure that i organise my time properly and make the time for it. It's all or nothing. Yeah, that's me.

Also have this overwhelming urge to write a book. A children's book that's fit for adults, with political undertones, with hints of social injustices and quirks about everyday life. My mind went bersek that day while lying in bed, with bursts of ideas chasing one another. So many things to pen down and explore. Haha. My brain is just so active at night. Don't know why. It scares me. I can probably put my dreamscapes to good use too. So, watch out for my book. Haha.
