Hi Janelle and Nick and anyone else reading.
It's kind of reassuring to see that someone else is struggling with this. It is hard to allow ourselves to be holistic. It's so strange that we feel like we shouldn't be able to combine work/uni and play/social stuff. This course is very refreshing in that it encourages us to combine different aspects of our lives. I, like Nick, have begun to realise the power in connecting passion and recreation with making a living. I spent about a decade of my life organising concerts "for fun" before i asked myself, "Hey, could this be the career path I should take? Maybe I can make money and have fun?". (I'm hoping to combine social work and concert planning to form a career when i graduate.)
My project involves creating a social group for postgrads and mature age students at UQ. This is something I've been wanting to do, but felt I didn't have time to do because of uni commitments. I now have the amazing opportunity to create this group and get credit for it, yet somehow it feels slightly 'wrong'. I need to remind myself that mixing work and play is natural and ideal!
Anyway, hooray for us for at least starting to make these connections
Jess
