I spent so much searching for this file called "Activism", in the white drawer, whose back wall is comming away, under this very laptop, amongst all my papers and my brothers old notebooks, half filled or 17/19ths filled, that I use.
I need some tighter organisation. So especially since I finished studying for the GRE. It's over. Now I must find a new thing to do. And I have. I want to write about prisoners in Namibia, somehow I want to tie to what I am learning in my own studies of epidemiology and medical anthropology. Plus, I want to incorporate it into applying for a fullbright.
Perhaps I can use this space to list my aims, short term and long term.
Short term
The immediacy of Catholic Aids Action Project Happening on the 21st of November. It is a "Happening". I am hoping to involve students of the Holy Confirmation and the youth from Highlands and the Older Youth of St Boniface. However, will not the age disparity be to large between the various volunteers. We need not all go on the same day. So for now, let me work on the St. Boniface students and those of SMYL. I need to contact Melissa again, who is the organizer of the students at St. Mary's Cathedral.
Alright so now there are two disparate projects within the same realm. The first is to mobilize these teenagers at the two parishes, St Boniface and St Mary's. We will go Nov 21st.
Then the other will be the older youth of St Boniface (myself, Takudzwa, Yvonne, Brona, Barbara + others who show up) and the Sol Nascente group of St Marys + older people from SMYL (St Mary's Youth Leage).
- The other aim is to purchase books for my public health courses next year + get the books on Medical Anthropology and Molecular (Biology of Epidemiology) books, that will interest me.
- Then there is the aim to save a quarter a day. Saving one quarter namibian dollars (or Namibs as some people call them, US college interns in Namibia - interesting girls I met here). Just for everytime I log into my email, I must save one quarter. Eventually, I will save enough for something.
- Get a driving liscence before the end of the year
- I need to read the articles on Medical Anthropology and Medical anthropology. Well yes I am scatter brained somewhat.
- Read about the Fulbright.
Longterm Goals (before end of 2011):
- Apply to as many postgraduate fellowships and scholarships as possible - there is the fullbright for the US, the commonwealth for the UK and the Rhodes. For France, there should be something too. For Italy, is there? I would have to look that up (will I?).
- Start an Italian table at Studio 77
-Learn Oshiwambo
-Performance of my choreography - including work I did with Hennie.
Let me see which are most important. I have underlined short term, because it is the sum of shorterm goals that give one longterm one. So they are most important.
Now I need to choose three short term goals from my list, excluding the Catholic AIDS action. Devo scegliere tre scopi di quei sopra tranne quello della Azione Catolica contro l'AIDS.
I will choose them for this week:
- Reading for my driving liscence - every Mon Wed.
- Read the TB epidemiology article and Med Anthro
- Purchase your medical anthro books + find out about course books
