Bit of an update on Daniel's life in Melbs
The dot points:

-Ended up not doing the shared house thing, instead I'm renting a lovely little flat in Northcote with city views...ok, glimpses

-RMIT contract went well and has now finished. I'm doing full-time casual youth work at the moment, shifts at various times of the day and night. I'm doing the youth work thing because it is a good match for...

-Back on the PhD train :) I'm using all the minimum-quality maximum-return-for-effort tricks I learn running a business, and I'm slowly but surely pulling together the thesis. Not thinking of it as research any more, 'cos I've done all that, just as writing-up a report. Maybe full draft by the end of the year, we'll see, that's what I'm playing for

-Still blissed-out to be in Melbourne, this city rocks

-It's winter, so I'm in my usual 'down' period in terms of energy and sociability. Still happy, just things are generally much more effort

-My current creative project (I've always got one on the go) is actually my flat. I'm creating it as a work of art - more about that in a subsequent post in a bit

-I feel like I'm giving myself the space this year to do something that I've never really done before, which is just 'living'
