It has been a month since my last post and a whole lot has happened in between. 2011 was not my best year, there were a few highlights but most of the year was murky at best.
Already, in 2012 I have moved house to a nice new suburb and will next week have a house mate for the first time in a year. With a couple of extra subjects this year I will complete my Masters in HR and OD, and I'm looking forward to finally getting that piece of paper. I might then take a proper break from study, but we'll see if that eventuates.
Professionally, I will be moving more permanently into a social media position at Deloitte as well as being involved in a couple of smaller projects within Deloitte Digital which will be very exciting.
I found a quote today from Heraclitus which I think is beautifully apt, "You cannot step into the same river twice, for fresh waters are ever flowing in upon you." It is always easier to stick with what you know, but the reality is that change will happen regardless and being able to move with it is a lot easier.
I want this to be a year of change, where I deal with some of my pesky habits specifically the ones around being too focused on work, study or romantic relationships. I need to have goals which are for me and are outside of other influences.
So, one of my main goals for the year will revolve around training for and completing the Kokoda track. The aim will be to do this in July, before my second lot of exams for the year and will involve a lot of training and dedication. It will also require me to stick to a rather tight budget for the next 6 months which will be a feat in itself. If you're inclined you can help me to get there, or I will soon be putting together something for donations to go to the Alfred Hospital if that's more your jam.
It will be another busy year, but full of excitement and new challenges. There will probably be quite a few posts along the way around what I've learnt from my training and of course when I finish my trek.
Here's to 2012!

Epic! Good luck with the Kokoda trail - that will be very tough but I'm sure very rewarding.
ReplyDeleteAre you doing it by yourself, or with someone/group?
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'll actually be doing it with my best friend, we've known each other since kinder so it'll be another life event we get to share with each other.
