Thoughts of change and an update

--Thoughts of change of both fantastic and serious natures--

I've been studying the worlds problems a lot this semester in my
subjects "Sustainable Development" and "Social Change in Latin
America" and procrastinating this type of study leave me with
time to think about how to fix the world problems.

To check out some of the thoughts that have come of this see

I'm currently procrastinating finishing a large assignment that
is due tomorrow morning and that, along with lots of random
thoughts written down while i was reading for it has given me a
good amount of material and wicked world changing ideas for that
blog. To be posted sometime after the 5th (when my last
assignments are due).

--What's goin on?--

Well, apart from study and Nyah being a little bit sick, i'm
heading off to a couple of conferences soon and moving out of
home indefinitely the day after i get back.

The Students of sustainability conference in Melbourne from the
10th - 15th July should be awesome and the uni is paying my fees
as well which is even better. Basically it is a massive hippy fest
of hard core stustaino greenies and similar types. Looking
forward to a non corporatized style conference and meeting some
people who share similar values.

On the 18th of July i'm going to RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership
Awards) which I have heard is pretty damn good. I've had way too
much leadership training for someone who does not want to work
for a multi national (let's screw the little people) corporation
but i'm looking forward to make good contacts with Rotary
people, making some friends and finding out what AIESEC didn't
teach me in the leadership area.

The day after i get back from that (25th) one of my good friends
and in general just a person at the top of my list of awesome
people is getting back from Finland. I'll be moving in on the
26th, paying low rates for a fully furnished house with
trimmings. It's going to be awesome.

Best finish that essay.
