Watching from the other side of the street...

I can't believe it's been so long since I last wrote anything. So much has happened in the interim. I have been working at the PsySSA Johannesburg office for quite a bit. Nosipho is no longer working there, which is a pity cos she knew everything about the running of that office. With the Congress coming along, we worked very hard and at times only left the office after 17:30, which is something I'm not used to anymore. It was a different, but interesting side of things to look at. A bit of a side conversation happened, where i was somewhat offered a job at PsySSA offices. As interested as that sounds, I don't think I want it. What will I be? What role will I play. I really would like to keep the Research side of things going. It's funny how, the reason I write today stems from a conversation which took place about 3 weeks ago!!! On an academic level, I've had to ask my supervisor to give me time to compose myself. I asked to be allowed to present at the Congress. With some nudging she agreed. That was an amazing experience on its own. I left Johannesburg on Monday, 15 Sept, Obie took me to the airport, that was really sweet of him. Well not after having to bring me to Unisa to do some last minute planning and bring assignments. The Congress itself was great. Meeting people, being revered, when people see you and say it's nice to see the face, from my sting at the PsySSA office. On Thursday I was so anxious and nervous, I couldn't attend many presentations. In between all that, I had to plan the Africa delegates session, Joburg/ Pretoria leg. Yho... That's a discussion for another post. All went well, if I may say so myself. I even got a contact for work that can be collaborated. I am happy.
