But to quote a friend, "wanting to eat is not selling out."

And the public service is a much nicer place to work than anywhere else, truly! We all have to sell our souls in some way, I think this is a fair compromise.

i think we talked about this when i was still in Sydney ... unfortunately life isn't black and white, but rather neither ... all shades of gray.

I had lunch with Mark, the director of the BU Sydney program yesterday. If I get a positive response from UNSW he might be able to help me out a bit when I'm there... I hate waiting.

On other news, girls are soooo frustratingly confusing.
