Anchors Aweigh

I can't believe I haven't posted in over a year! That's mental and yet totally understandable. Since moving back to South Africa, life has taken on a certain pattern that can be seen as a slump.
I've got an office job that I'm starting to hate. I work, I got home, I have a few drinks and watch tv before going to sleep.

That's it.

Next week I turn 27. And it scared me. What the hell was I doing wasting my 20s away in an office when I should be seeing the world?

So I've made a very big decision - I've decided to go work on a cruise ship. Hopefully forever.

So far, the list of requirements is scary. I'm going to have to lose half my office sponsored body weight. So I've moved the healthwalker into the tv room and plan to start walking. I may have to quit drinking too...hmmm.

In the meantime, I've been tentatively accepted to study through the University of London! So i'm going for the impossible - earn a degree while working 12 hour days trapped on a tin boat in the middle of the ocean. I can totally do it.

First challenge - let's see how long i can keep this new job. My boss is a Swiss nutcase!

Digg!
