I know that I have told most of you that I am immigrating on December 28, 2009, however I have had much time to think about it and I have changed my mind. I have decided to take a “gap year” and focus on moving to Israel and working, traveling and just finding out who I am and what I want in life.
I am planning on packing one suitcase and just going where the road takes me. I want to know what it is like to support myself. I am 23 and have never supported myself, cooked for myself, cleaned for myself or even lived by myself. I think I have been sheltered my whole life and it is time I grow up and take on responsibilities.
So I am looking forward to what the future holds and hoping that through my travels I will be able to find some direction in life and find out what I want to do, where I want to live and who I want to be. Without these fundamentals I will never really know who I am and so I am hoping that next year will give me guidance and allow me to discover who I really am.

This Is It
So the other night I went to go see Michael Jackson’s This Is It! I am not sure how many of you know but I am honestly the biggest Michael Jackson fan. I have many of his CD’s, most of his lyrics typed out, interviews with MJ, his concerts and of course those of you who have been to my house have seen my huge Michael Jackson drawing above my bed.
Ever since the King of Pop passed away on June 25, 2009 I have been unable to watch my videos of him, but on Tuesday night I went to go watch This Is It. Michael Jackson, at age 50, moves and dancers better than he did at age 25.
I think that this concert was going to be his best ever. He redid his Thriller video, it looks amazing. What I loved about the movie was that MJ was so real in it. I mean I have watched many interviews both with him and about him but when you see him rehearsing and how gentle and polite he is with his staff, team and dancers you get to see and know the real MJ.
As I always say, MJ in my heart forever!

Watch this space
So as newly qualified public relations practitioners I guess we are all watching each others' spaces to find out where we all going to land up! I mean I can’t believe that four years ago we all embarked on this journey that we thought would take forever and looking back its just gone! We are done! I still can’t believe it! I guess time flies when you are having fun!
I don’t know where the future will take me or where I will land up! I have decided to take a “gap year” and once again go to Israel! I am not going to pack up my life, but rather just take a small bag and see where the road takes me! I am hoping ill learn and grow so much and develop and mature as a young public relations practitioner.
So I am hoping to keep in touch with all you fabulous B-Techs and I look forward to seeing where the road takes you and where you land up. I will be watching all your spaces. Just remember that this is our time to make an impact on the world and make our footprint! Good luck to you all!

Conventional is a good fallback position
Whilst trying to understand what the word conventional means I decided to look at synonyms on Microsoft Word and this is what it gave me: conservative, conformist, straight, square, predictable, unadventurous and usual.
Conventional is a good fallback position because it is what we are use to. This reminds of the saying “if you reach for the moon and miss at least you will fall in the stars” and I guess that conventional is our stars.
Some of us are afraid of trying new things, especially me! When I go to a restaurant nine out of ten times ill order the same item off the menu. Why? Because I am afraid of trying new things, I know I like the meal I order, I know what to expect and I know how much it costs. This is just another example of why conventional is a good fallback position.
Another example of this that relates to my life is me wanting to immigrate and everyone telling me that if it doesn’t work out I can always come back to South Africa, once again South Africa being my conventional fallback position!
But I guess in life we sometimes have to be safe rather than sorry, but, it does not mean that we shouldn’t always aim for the moon or take that big step in life!
