Re: My Story and where to from here.. (very personal)
There is a lot of opportunity for things to go well, but also a good deal of opportunity for things to go badly.
This is what I am worried about:
- being stuck on my own all the time, but also being stuck with other people all the time
- not having enough money
- not living healthily (social, physical, emotional and psychological)
- the conference not being everything I thought it would be.. where most of it isn't good at all..
- isolating myself because things are too hard or too scary
- wanting to come home
- wanting to die
- wanting to give up and return home
These are the things I can do in the short term to make things better:
- Chase up work options
- Chase up housing options
- Contact various people from blogs or social media that offer help or advice
- Remain positive (even though that can be quite hard)
- Remind myself "that it could be worse"

Re: My Story and where to from here.. (very personal)
You have definitely been thinking about your trip very carefully @MDT That is a comprehensive list of both the pros and cons - well done for doing that. I think you have covered a lot for both and that is good to have something to work towards. You know what you need to get done before you go nd that will help you when you get there. Planning is key here and you are doing that buddy

There will always be things that pop up that you haven't planned for @MDT but if the bigger things are organised then the smaller things can be dealt with as they occur.

Re: My Story and where to from here.. (very personal)
Already utilised reddit and linkedin. Also some people have pointed out some helpful tips on the association facebook site. I told someone the other day that I feel like a detective chasing up leads lol.
I canned going out tonight. Been out last night with two mates and past two fridays been out too. Just not up for it tbh. Balance is crucial. Might drop in to Friday Feast

Re: My Story and where to from here.. (very personal)
Nearly forgot it is Friday @MDT This week has gotten away from me
I generally don't do FF - gets too busy for me and I find I can't always keep up. Think that has a lot to do with my concentration levels still not being great.
It seems like you are doing really well in your research and networking so I have no doubt you will smash out all the things you need to get done before you go.
