During these summer holidays, I've probably sat down at my desk several times, opening up blogger trying to think of things to say. thoughts and feelings. things I've done. But i don't know. just didn't think there was anything really important to mention.
Haven't been doing much over the past month or so. Just kinda little things here and there, and i'm just kinda itching to do one last adventurous thing before uni starts. But over the past month, i've been noticing a lot of change in most of us. I mean heaps of people have started to work. whether its just tutoring jobs or with big firms for cadetships. enrolling for uni, getting all our timetables, and even some already starting uni. just reading about it in other people's blogs, or just talking about it with people, just kinda really gives me the sense that we're all growing up. maybe even a bit too fast.
Don't get me wrong. work can be great. i think for me one of the nice feelings is taking on that extra role of responsibility. stuff that is attached with the coming of age. such as getting Ps, or becoming a senior, a role model and especially starting a job.
I've just recently started working at talent100 as a marker. and i'm finding it really fun. well not the work itself. which is kinda boring. but the people who work there and the students make it so much more fun. There's a couple of guys there who are doing med with me next year as well. so it's been pretty awesome getting to know them all. Today i spent 10 hours working there. but it really felt like nothing. half of the time was just spent talking with people and playing games.
We're going paintballing next friday as a group. Kris and Janette still think intuition is more awesome. I don't mind either way.
Sometimes when i think about it. It feels weird to be on the other side of that "HSC wall" when i was a junior, i remember always thinking that the day after HSC will never come. it was just so far away. and just something i didn't hafta worry about for a long long time. and for me it feels like i've just gone from that mindset and just jumped over that wall without even thinking about it.
Going back to school for valentines day assembly kind of made me realise that. Just talking to the teachers and catching up on stuff we've been doing and stuff they've been doing at school. Reminded me of the many things i left behind as we graduated. KO sport team tryouts, school carnivals, school assemblies, shy year 7's coming through each year, newbie people, agriculture.
Facebook in a way reminds you of these things too, when people invite you groups such as JONES OWNS or people post up videos of valentines assembly.
But uni is something i'm really looking forward to. Just meeting these incredible outgoing people at my workplace doing med, it makes me excited to get to know the rest of the med bunch. I'm also sorta working my way through understanding uni in-jokes as well. Like I told Bosco:
- The only job art students get out of their degree is a job at maccas
- The bachelor of medical science is also known as the bachelor of GAMSAT.
Btw, i didn't mean to offend anyone doing arts or medical science in particular. just passing on what i've been told.
Something that James Xu from ruse 08 said made me laugh a bit. He mentioned at melbourne uni one day, that they had put dynamic lifter on their lawn to fertilise it. His friends cowered at the smell, but to him it just smelt like home.
Anyways. I'm just gonna limit to there. For whoever reading. sorry if it didnt make any sense. I just basically rambled what was going through my head while i was typing this up.
Enjoy the little time you have left of your holidays. Do whatever you've always wanted to do. Don't spend all the time working. We got 50 more years or working to do. Lets just enjoy the time we have now =)
Take Care All
