Changes are afoot

Two words: it's over!!! I handed in my honours thesis today, and it's such a relief. A burden has been lifted from my shoulders - a burden of intense work that has been there for 2 years now.

This also marks the end of my formal education (for now, at least). With that in mind, there are some big things happening in my life:

  • I'm heading to South-East Asia in a little over a week, where I'll be backpacking with friends through Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos for 2 months. Words cannot describe how much I am looking forward to this.
  • There will be a slight detour to India to attend the AIESEC 2006 International Development Congress. It will be great to meet and connect with people from around the world on development issues. I'm also relishing the chance to flesh out some ideas of my own… Of course, I'm also going to check out Delhi, Jaipur and Agra for 5 days after the conference, which will be amazing.
  • A group of us have been discussing sustainability and what we can do about it. We had a great meeting last night, and have some exciting ideas in the pipeline, which I hope to give a lot of attention to next year.
  • I'll be continuing work at TLAF to create great software that I'm passionate about. We've got some kick-ass ideas for Connoisseur, and other projects brewing…

That is all. :)
