Fizzle

You’re not from around here?

The last year has been a bit of a bludge for me. I didn’t work for the first couple of months. I got a sweet-as job doing something I love for the past 6 months. Been on about four holidays from Greece to Port Macquarie. All this fun but I must admit I’m getting a bit sick of it. This is good news considering in a couple of months I will start studying. I’m guessing this will be a bit of a rude awakening after not studying or dealing with time constraints or any sort of genuine pressure for 16 months.

As some of you know, I’m heading over to Canberra, which is 3 hours from Sydney and about 3 hours from Albury. I’m doing a course called Sports Media, which is pretty self explanitory. The other week I took the drive down to the capital to check it out. The Uni seems pretty awesome so I’m pretty excited about that. On the whole, I’ve been told Canberra is a bit quiet and perhaps dead, we will see. I’ve also been told that If you live on campus, which I will be doing, “you will never not be able to find someone to share a few drinks with”, this quote coming from my campus tour guide. I guess that quote echoes some of my views on what campus life is about, but we will wait and see.

I move down in mid-Feb so I’ll make the most of my last couple of months in Sydney before heading down.
