Durban: Reloaded

Loaded, reloaded and pumping y'all! I'm back in Durban and I haven't blogged in forever! There's been so much going on in my life but I decided today that I need to sit down and reflect on all that's been happening. I left Pietermaritzburg on Sunday officially. My uncle and two cousins drove me down to Durban with all my things. I lived in PMB for about 10 months so I accumulated a whole lot of stuff!!!

I've actually been really blessed since returning from Korea. When I returned in March last year, I was at home for 4 months while looking for a job. I used the time to unwind and reconnect with family and a few friends I still kept in touch with. As much as I enjoyed it, it's a very scary process trying to readjust while also looking for a job and pretending that you're on top of things. With the help of my uncle and cousin I was fortunate to land a job at a college in PMB as a lecturer/trainer (in July). I got the job because of my English teaching 'experience' in Korea. It was a one year stint that was going to end in June this year.

While in PMB, I continued looking for other available jobs but found none and then in March this year a friend posted on FB about internships available at the local municipality and obviously having a degree in law, I jumped at the opportunity.  After just 3 days I got the job but unfortunately I had to mission between PMB and DBN for 6 weeks until I eventually found a place. I was glad I found a job just 2 months before my contract at the college was going to end. I don't know if I want to be in local government but it's certainly a good place to start.

God really blessed me with an awesome apartment that is literally 3 mins to work! I'm also glad to be near the beach again and the fact that I'm also near the Playhouse Theater won't hurt either.

Can't wait to get in with some Durban vibes again and reconnect with old friends! It's not exactly Korea but I have to make the most of where I am.

Will keep posting and updating on all the awesome, fantabulous stuff I get up to ^^
