It's official - my lecturer who I will be working with for my final year project just emailed me saying that I will get to attend the Disaster Reduction Symposium at Monash the next following week! It's a 4 day international conference with speakers from the United Nations, etc, and it costs like $480 per student and $700 if you're not a student to attend! He's going to pay for me in exchange for some of my help i.e.: picking up guest speakers from the airport, assistance with audio visual and other lecture arrangements and assorted errands. This will really help my project for next year and a great opportunity to get some important contacts.

I'm so excited!
