Back to reality

I am now back into the swing of normal life and over my jet lag but i am really missing being away, i enjoyed it sooooo much, it was such an amazing experience! Over the last couple of weeks i have gotten in touch with the contacts that i made while i was away to thank them again for what they did for me. I am planning on keeping in contact with as many people as i can so that we can share valuable information and i can keep up to date with what is happening over in the States.

This week i have also completed and sent off my press release and a list of the journals i think will be interested in publishing it, i am still waiting to hear back on this one but i am hoping a few of the 5 journals i have approached will publish it. I am still attempting to sort out my pictures as i didn't realise how many i had taken! Over the next couple of weeks i am planning on starting my report which is due to be submitted in February next year.

Since being back i have also been approached by a Safer Schools Police Officer i know and asked to do a presentation in some schools in North London on what i found out about gangs. Many of the schools he works in have issues relating to gangs and he feels that the young people in these schools would benefit from my input. I am really looking forward to this new opportunity and hope that more exciting opportunities follow the more i get to know and network with more people in this field....
