Well I have some kind of belated news

Just had to kind of deal with it myself first. Work my way through it...you know all that.

I left uni. Like 3 weeks ago. Not sure if it is permanent yet. I mean, I am sure I will go back to A uni and do A course, just not so sure it will be UTS and not so sure it will be Journalism. 

Yeah, I have always wanted to be a journalist, but the course was making me miserable. I loved the journalism element of my course. But even though the course was journalism, actual journalism and things related to it was only 1/4 of the course and we couldn't choose the other 3/4s. And I hated hated HATED those 3/4s. I have never hated learning before, but for the first time in my life, I actually thought the learning was a waste of time.

So I am taking 18 months old. Next June I will be boarding a plane to New York and I am going to be a counselor at a Summer Camp in the US for 14 weeks. Not sure where the Summer Camp will be yet, it hasn't been allocated yet. After that I will spend 10 days in the States, will spend some time in NYC, and then doing a whirlwind trip to Texas to visit some good friends of mine via the Grand Canyon, then off to London where I will backpack around Europe for 3 months. I can't wait! I am actually going to be living my life, and experiencing the world. I am so so SO excited!

As for my education, I am currently reapplying through UAC into a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education at Sydney Uni. It is a 5 yr course and I won't be finished until I am 24 (my life plan has gone from being finished at 20, to being finished at 24!) but I will be qualified to be a history/english teacher PLUS I will be qualified for journalism. I'll also be qualified to do so much more than that as both degrees are such broad degrees that are highly valued. 

This just all feels right at the moment. I am usually a very indecisive person and I made these huge decisions within a few days just over a month ago. I then had to deal with it all. But I am sure this is going to turn out right. My Papa is concerned I am basing this on intuition, but this all just feels so right, like this is the direction I meant to be going in life. I feel content. It's nice. 

Now I just have to find a full time job (I have been to a few interviews and should hopefully have one by the end of this week) and all will be fine.

I miss you guys
