| Introduction | Here goes: I’m studying chemistry, maths, literature, french and international studies or university enhancement history next year. I am interested in just about everything. I love history and sincerely wish I lived in the 17thish century, or the middle ages, or Roman times, or in feudal Japan...when older I hope to be at least one of the following: a journalist, a diplomat, a musician, an author, a UN etc worker, the list goes on. I love reading and movies; you can see some of my favourites below. I also love music: I play violin (relatively well) and I sing. I also have music theory lessons which I love. If I was ever good enough I’d love to be a musician. I would also like to be v. good at sword fighting and martial arts like Aikido, if only I could find somewhere to learn it. More than anything else I am obsessed with issues including poverty, hunger, AIDs prevention, war, the environment, animal protection, protection of human rights, reconciliation (within Australia) and everything else. I encourage you all to do what you can to help any of these causes. Anyway, if you really want to know more about me read the blog! |
