Boy-oh-boy, do I have news for you, my dear friends!
Just after Christmas, on a crazy whim (and desperate to get a job that wasn't as a nurse) I applied for a job coordinating a clinical trial in India... much to my amazement I seem to have been awarded the position ... so, I am heading home to Adelaide for a few months to train up in the science and then to Vellore in the south of India for a year to run the trials ...
I know, it certainly is quite the detour on my way to changing careers but I think that it will be a fabulous adventure, an opportunity to save up, and may open some exciting markets that we previously hadn't thought of for the (one day) shop ...
I hope to be able to study interior decorating still by correspondence while I am away, so I should get back in a year fresh (?exhausted?), studied up and ready to go. Thankyou all a million times over for your kind advice on my study options as well, it really was a huge help in making a decision xx
And don't worry, I will ramp up the posting once I move from Melbourne in about 3 weeks and I sincerely promise not to turn White and Wander into an overdose of my third world scientific life ... I think there will have to be a travel sister blog ... so, a few kinks to be ironed out, a crash course in conversational Tamil to take, and lots of other things to plan, but this is definitely the adventure I have been dreaming of xx
