Save Tonight, Tomorrow I'll Be Gone

Ha ha yes those are Eagle Eye Cherry lyrics! All I will be doing tonight though is sleeping. The packing was a MAJOR challenge. Packing for six months in two totally different climates. I've been explaining the Global Xchange programme to anyone who will listen but I realised today that I haven't explained it here. So for anyone who's interested here we go...

Global Xchange's mission statement is -
"Global Xchange aims to support the development of active global citizens,
committed to working for positive change within communities."

But that doesn't tell you all that much.

Global Xchange is a youth exchange and volunteering programme. You take 18 young people aged 18-25. Nine from the UK and nine from the exchange country (GX works with a number of exchange countries across, Asia, Africa and the Middle East). The volunteers spend three months in the UK and three months in the exchange country. During this time the volunteers live in a cross-cultural pair (that is one UK volunteer and one from the exchange conutry) in host home (a family in the local community that opens up their home to two complete strangers!). Four days a week the volunteers work for a local charity project in a different counterpart pair (so you don't get competely sick of one person). Once a week the whole team takes part in Global Citizenship Days. These are an opportunity the team to engage in active learning about community development issues in the UK and in the exchange country. Each week the sessions are run by different home counterpart pairs. The topics covered should link to the Global Citizenship Framework (GX's learning framework). In the past GCDs have ranged from Fair Trade, Education, Climate Change, to Debt. During the programme the team will also come together to do larger-scale community projects to involve other people called Community Action Days. Some teams do one or two large scale CADs per phase, while others will do smaller ones on a more regular basis. Past examples have included cultural and global education days for local schools, community cleanups, Development Awareness Days, or fundraising with a local charity. Throughout the exchange the team is looked after by two programme supervisiors. Again one from the UK and one from the exchange country. In return for your time and commitment GX pay for your training, visas, travel, medical checks, injections, accommodation, food provide you with a small allowance. They only ask volunteers to fundraisee £600 towards the cost (a target I've reached by the way!).

So that is what I'm up to for the next six months! You can see why it takes a while to explain to people and thats without mentioning the Introductory Training Course, the Pre-Programme Course, the In Country Orientation, Mid-Phase Review, Debrief and Returned Volunteers Weekend!

p.s. I've also added a few more Myspace blogs and my facebook notes. I could leave them where they are but I like everything in the same place. I'm anal like that! I was going to post links but it seemed like alot of work. If you're interested you will have to search through the archives.

Facebook Archive - Had a Rummage in the Fourth Drawer and Found These Gems

Things We Learnt in the Second Year!

• K and I are the 'cutest heterosexual couple ever'


• You will always fall for innappropraite men/women


• Tea and toast from Nightline rules


• The underpass will always flood


• Living on campus was so much more convenient


• One must always go for lunch on a Thursday afternoon to Mondos


• Living off campus leads to arguements about bins, bills, baths, base...


• Duck feeding is an offical past time


• Only 5% of students vote in SU elections (and not for me)


• A bag of peanuts is only 95% nuts


• Vodka may be good for getting drunk but it is not good for your stomach, cheap wine is much better


• 'Spin the Bottle' is another drinking game to be avoided


• Vaginias are great (Vaginia Monologues)


• You will still not do all the reading for your course even though this year counts


• 'I've seen him naked' doesn't automatically mean you win the arguement


• Don't go to an 18 movie on a first date

Things We Learnt in the Third Year

Thanks to K, S2 and S who helped with these during one of the LSC days

• Living in separate towers won't keep K and C apart


• The Summer Ball is better without a date (for me anyway)


• Archers + Cherryade = Summer in a Glass (add Malibu if desired)


• Food colouring makes drinks more interesting


• The End shouldn't be the day before the Summer Ball


• The drinks in the SU bar become so boring you invent new ones


• R-Bombs


• By the third year it is next to impossible to have avoided the Uni incestiousness


• Sitting in the bar all day never gets old


• If you have a tendancy to go cross-eyed when drunk don't walk past the bouncer


• The SU are shit (by S2)


• Relentless gets you through those tough third year exams, the ones that really matter


• I can't write that one


• Walking from North to South campus is always too far


• The chances of being hit on the head by you graduation hat are higher than you think


• Walking across a stage and shaking an old mans hand becomes a major challenge

(074) Turn-offs: not washing! ewww! - agreeing with k again, includes body and bedsheets

(075) Do you base your judgment on looks alone: No I admitted to be shallow as I think apperance counts but it is certainly not everything and by apperance I really mean that way people present themselves rather than their physical characteristics

(076) Have you ever been romantically attracted to someone and physically unattracted? No

(077) What is best about the opposite sex?: Cuddling up in bed

(078) Whats the last present someone got you?: the afore mentioned notebook

(079) Do you like someone?: like as in like like? Yes A :)

LAST PERSON:
(080) That you laughed at: A, not full on pointing and laughing, just a little giggle after he injured me, its not a serious injury by the way just a little knock on the elbow

Facebook Archive - Bored in the Reading Room With No Revision

I deleted the first half of this quiz because I'd done it before (perhaps i've been on facebook too much) but this second half is brand new!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF:

1. Gay Marriage?: I have no personal problems with it, it should be legally recognised, but I don't think the church should be forced to recognise it.

2. Lowering the drinking age?: Like it would make a difference, underage kids will always drink

3. Who is the best hugger: Oh reminds me of a birthday competition, I believe K3 was the winner (much to E's annoyance, he had been practising!?)

If we are talking about facebook I think I've met everyone except some random who I added then he asked if I 'liked to make friends', not making that mistake again!

11. How many kids do you want to have?: I have been informed by many a person that 2 is the best number

Facebook Archive - Everything Works But Nothing Works Very Well

The above title is a quote from my mother when referring to our new house. I consider it to be something of an understatement. We have no mobile signal, no tv signal, the central heating still works on a coal fulled heater (note that mother is not sure that we have enough coal to last over the christmas and new year period), the hot water always runs out, I am half an hour from the nearest town, the roads to that town are narrow, bendy and at this time of year foggy and icy as well. I am surrounded by unpacked boxes, the christmas decorations are yet to be found and when they are probably won't be put up, as mum doesn't see the point given I'll probably be working over christmas, my first year without a christmas tree! :( Not that I actually know when I'm working yet because although I should have been told when my shifts are people have neglected to tell me, I suppose I'll find out when I go to work tonight. Ah back to centre parcs for another holiday, screaming children, difficult guests. The Joy! All in all this christmas is looking less merry than usual. The internet is my one salvation, as broadband is the one thing that works well in this place. Please leave me merry messages of seasons greetings, to brighten up my days.

p.s. we just found the christmas decorations, so I shall spend the next few hours before work putting them up, still no tree though.

Facebook Archive - Disney Gave Me Unrealistic Expectations About Love

This is sooo true. Films with fairy tale endings should be banned, lets face facts, it ain't gonna happen, we are just setting kids up for a life time of disappointment! In the original little mermaid tale the prince marries someone else and she turns into sea foam, which is more realistic to you?

I do still love watching disney movies though, hypocritical I know!
