A Month On

Well, it's hard to believe that it's almost been an entire month since i moved to this god-forsaken place and so much has already changed. It's like the saying goes - some are born great and some have greatness thrust upon them. Well i'd like to think i was born great all the time however the reality is that you only become great through experience - and of course, i'm exaggerating how much of a hole this place really is because honestly, you don't need to be too great to survive here, i mean i'm still (barely) alive.

(Re)newed Experiences

This week has been a week of firsts - first week of university, first time clubbing, first time skating, first time i've begun reading again after the last text i read which was prescribed for High School English. I suppose it isn't too late to learn something new ("you can't teach old dogs new tricks" is a very deceitful saying) and it isn't too late to pick up a ex-hobby. University, well that's been a eye-opening experience indeed since no longer are you spoon-fed or looked after, everything is autonomous - scraping in that pass, or failing epically. This will definitely be an interesting year filled with renewed experiences.

Still just a small weekling at my new life

So it's hard to believe that just a week has passed so far since i moved interstate to chase my dream and well, i suppose i have already changed a lot - i mean i have met more people in my last week than i have for six years but such a move does demand such a shift in outlooks. Pretty much, i have decided that clubbing and partying is definitely not my thing, that women are very mean when they try to be, i'm a socially awkward turtle a lot of the time and that it takes a lot of effort to retain friends. Now with my entire week pretty much recounted in a nutshell, we can move on to something i suppose i should explain - the reasons why i actually want to take up a profession that kills your life as you spend every hour studying or working, i should explain why i want to become a doctor.

University Level Personal Hygiene

Now it's a generally accepted part of a struggling povo university student lifestyle that your staple food is probably Mi Goreng, the hours you're most alive are actually around midnight, and you probably run on energy drinks so much that your entire bloodstream is actually guarana and caffeine. Never have i thought it to be so extreme that my actual method of brushing my teeth is chewing Wrigley's Active Gum.
