What I didn't tell you yet is that I stopped looking for a job. Instead, some months ago I decided to try my luck being self-employed. So far I'm still working on a new website (a blog of course) where I'll write in Dutch. It's scary and energizing at the same time to be self-employed. I'm still getting used to the idea, but slowly it's growing on me. I started out last year thinking that after finishing university I would get a job and someone else would tell me what to do. And here I am, a new summer and nobody is setting the directions for me. The big bonus: I decide what is worthy, interesting and fun to do.

 

Although I don't have paid projects yet, I've got lots to do. Most of my energy goes to the Institute for Collaboration, Creativity & Culture (alias Dutch Connection). This group is in the founding phase of setting up statutes, defining different roles and groups and trying to get some funding to get us started. In the mean time Ton and I have got some ideas up our sleeve as well. Soon I'll have the new website up and running and can tell you a bit more about my activities. That's it for now.
