You lot are so helpful...

Yeah, aren't we???

You could come to Bristol and help out with my mate's horses until you can go back to uni if that's what you decide to do.

Or do an apprenticeship in Iceland on a horse farm

I could do with a housekeeper - bad pay, but a lot of

Mala as a housekeeper?

Don't know who would be worse for the job, her or me!

You, definitely

Gaaaaaah, why does life have to be so complicated?

Is it purely coincidence that you ask that after Yarreau posed that question?

Because you wouldn't want it any other way.

re 17:

not necessarily, ms Y

i once saw a kosack riding two s at the same time whilst standing on their backs

very well trained they were - and had to be lest he should fall down the gap between them

he didn't juggle anything as far as i remember. this is where mala comes in

I have enough trouble not falling off one horse!

Where have all this horses stuff come from? lol i thought we were talking about his decition problems!

By the way my friend has joind H2G2 now, his ID is jeminkfish, drop in and give him and welcome and help him out starting off please people would be nice to get him started on a chatty foot



Falx

I like s. If I have to be indecisive, I'd rather be indecisive with horses

Looking at volunteering with various aid organisations for a year or so - "Architecture for Humanity" is sort of like "Doctors Without Borders", just for archi-s - but even they require prior work experience

that's harsh...

Hm.

Well, a year out could just be a proper year out. (i.e. do something entirely different to what you want to focus on when you get back)

When I say entirely differnt, I'm not suggesting you join a far-right political party for a year for 'research' or anything, obviously! I was thinking more like visiting somewhere, working doing something entirely different (volunteering could work if you can afford it or do it with the right people)

Is there a European version of Habitat for Humanity? Or is that what your architecture group is for?

Hmmm - Habitat for Humanity generally gets by without the aid of an architect, or rather, recycles plans for houses that have been built elsewhere. I suppose it would be construction site experience...

Architecture for Humanity recently brought out a wonderful book that I need to go order - it's called "Design Like You Give a Damn: Architectural Responses to Humanitarian Crises"

I did some work with Habitat for Humanity for a little while - it was brilliant. As you say, there might not be much architectural work involved, but you could do a lot worse for a bit of volunteering.

Yes, I was thinking of the construction aspect.

Or maybe I can volunteer at a museum or some other place they're reconstructing...

In my experience, a museum director's favourite word is 'volunteer'.

Especially if they can get somebody educated and responsible. They never have enough money.

Money's the problem for me, too
