Summertime, a time for opportunities
Summer has hit with a vengeance here in the UK for the past few days it as been very hot. I orginally come from Durban in South Africa and the heat and humidity is comparable to that.
When it is warm like this, it really makes me believe that I can do anything. I suppose that that comes from growing up where it is warm to hot most part of the the year, as opposed to the northern hemisphere.
I feel that there are many opportunities out there, even if the world is in recession and people are losing there jobs. I think that what has been realised is that it is not very good to go chasing after money, people are important too.
I am at a cross-road in my life. I feel that I am not really moving forward and that I need to make some changes. What I would seriously like to do is go to university. The internet has been a big influence on my like, I have acquired a thirst for knowledge. The Internet does have a lot of knowledge but a lot of it cannot be verified and I would also like a formal qualification.
I have applied to the Thames Valley Univerisity. I will hopefully start out by doing an access course. It is the maths that I have to get up to speed on. The other part of the networking, HTML and things like that I have a fairly good understanding of. So lets hope for the best.
Another endevour that I would like to do is hold a charity event for the the charity Computers for Charities. Computers for Charities re-cycle computers for charities in the UK and abroad. They have a deal on with Dixons and Mercedes UK where for 4000 mobiles phones a truck will given to the charity to help transport equipment in Eastern Europe.
This is going to be a bit of a challenge, but I think that I need a bit of challenge in my life now. Plus it will do a whole load of good. I know that there is going to be a lot of work involved in getting this offer the ground, but I am really looking forward to it.
