http://lilmisskirsty.blogspot.com/2007/08/so-close.html
Thursday, August 02, 2007. It is now the 2nd of August, i leave on the 1st of September. My trip to Morocco is getting closer and closer and i'm actually really excited now. I had been awfully worried about paying my fees, but its done now (although i could use spare cash too ya know! I've been thinking about what to pack too, and i don't see me taking much. I'm trying to be realistic. I have to keep my shoulders covered so is there any point in taking my lovely strappy dress? So can i dammit! This is my...

Thursday, May 10, 2007. She finally did it! Yep, i got "work". I use inverted commas because its technically not really work. Its like.its a cultural experience thingy.

This is my blog to let everyone keep up with me when i'm working all over the place. Everyone should email me. Because i've turned off the comments but i'd still love to hear from everyone!

http://lilmisskirsty.blogspot.com/2007/10/been-so-long.html
Saturday, October 20, 2007. It has been so long since my last blog post! Its been a strange couple of weeks. I feel like i'm in a routine now, like its a real job :( but one that i love! Its just great. I love it. But i missed three days this week because i've been ill :(. I'm looking forward to going home, i'm getting a little tired of being here. The house gets tiring, the routine and the food etc. But then i also DON'T want to leave. I want to stay here forever and watch the kids grow up a...Scottish ...

Kirsty's Blog: good news!!
http://lilmisskirsty.blogspot.com/2006/04/good-news.html
Saturday, April 08, 2006. BSF is a definite no, i've given up with them. I called Magnus at SIR (Scottish International Relief). And he wasn't there but then he called ME thankfully LOL. I'm going up to their base in Dalmally to talk to him about prospects - so things are definitely looking up! So i'm going to visit SIR at the end of the month, i'm really excited! Plus all my studying was on Eastern Europe, i know the political and sociological situation there because thats what i studied with the intent...

Kirsty's Blog: OMG she updates!
http://lilmisskirsty.blogspot.com/2006/08/omg-she-updates.html
Wednesday, August 16, 2006. I'm terrible for not updating this, so much for being able to look back and say "oh so THAT was what i did when i was job-hunting". I officially gave up searching for a job in Eastern Europe about a week ago. I figure right now i'm wasting time so just get in somewhere and get a bit of experience. Now i have a phone interview set up in a week and it looks really promising so fingers crossed. OR there is one position in Bosnia, a project to help children and the local community...

Kirsty's Blog: 5 days to go!
http://lilmisskirsty.blogspot.com/2007/08/5-days-to-go.html
Monday, August 27, 2007. 5 days to go! So we're now in my final week before i go to Morocco. Lots to talk about today folks. First thing, and most important, is that i got my work assignment. I will be working in the Lala Maryam Orphanage for abandoned children. At first i was thinking oh no.kids! I don't know what to do with kids! But i had a think about it, i took a few moments to step back in time to when i was a kid and thought ooooooooh it'll be FUN! So i'm really excited about the work placement now.

Kirsty's Blog: rush rush rush
http://lilmisskirsty.blogspot.com/2007/07/rush-rush-rush.html
Saturday, July 28, 2007. Everything is starting to go really quickly and i feel like i have NO time before i go to Morocco. I think i'm ok (aside from not having paid my fees yet but i almost have it). Its just a little over a month till i go. People have been really generous. Some friends of mine gave me money as did a small local company and Philips Lighting gave me £300! That was the biggest donation. And my internet wife (long story! Then i was thinking i don't wanna do this! I was slightly angry tha...

Kirsty's Blog: cheap trip one: marrakesh
http://lilmisskirsty.blogspot.com/2007/09/cheap-trip-one-marrakesh.html
Wednesday, September 12, 2007. Cheap trip one: marrakesh. This weekend 7 of the volunteers headed to Marrakesh. We left work at 12.30 as usual and then after lunch we got the train to Marrakesh - we arrived around 10pm. Finding our "hotel" was.shall we say, an adventure? Day one, myself, Kate and Amber headed into the souks while the rest of the group went off to see sites and stuff. This picture would have been so good if it hadn't been so blurred! This is Kate in the prison - where she belongs LMAO).
