An update in circumstances
Hey all, I figure it is time to actually update you on the past month, something that I guess I have been avoiding a little. So, I'm actually back in Australia, spending my time between Brisbane and Warwick. I will explain... Halfway through my third week on placement I received news that my grandfather was in hospital with pneumonia and so at the end of my third week I left Timbaktu, returned to Bangalore for 24 hours and then flew back to Brisbane. At the time I left I was unsure if I was coming home for a few weeks or if I was coming home permanently but over the past few weeks I have made the decision to withdraw from my placement at Timbaktu and remain in Australia to spend more time with my family and help out my parents and grandparents. It was not an easy decision to make and the result of it is that I am now deferring placement (and graduation) until next semester where I will do the placement locally. Overall my experience in India had its ups and downs, and hopefu
