I AM SO EXCITED.

Saturday; the seventh and last day of the week, observed as the Sabbath by Jews and some Christians; the day Molly moves; the day life begins for said girl.

I AM SO EXCITED!


On Saturday, I will most definately be a Melbournite and definately not be a Launcestonion. I will be a dirty Arts student, be living off Centrelink payments and eating lots of Mi Goreng. Come April, I will be living on SPENCER STREET, with a cute balcony that I can hang a cute piece of string across with cute laundry drying on it. I can have a cute herb garden and write cute haikus about my cute life. Alternativley, I will be starving and miserable, but the glass is definately half full at the moment. There's also O Camp to look forward to before O Week, which I am extremely keen to attend, catching up with some good people I met a few weeks ago whilst in the Big Smoke.

I am also very excited for PRE-UNIVERSITY SHOPPING! So far my list comprises: a Mac laptop...and a Keep Cup. That's def all a University student needs?

Sometimes, you just need to stop being human. Humans are afraid of everything they don't know about, their unsure about. Last week I decided not to be human. Recieving my offer for University of Melbourne, I made a slightly psychotic decision to move interstate mid Feb, somehow convinced it was possible. I don't know if it's possible. But it's happening, it's something, and it's exciting.

It's exciting moving. I feel so big. Finally requested my OWN medicare card and bought my OWN very sophisticated filing system. It was a poignant, momentous moment for me. No more section labelled 'Molly' in Mum's ancient family airloom; The File. On an equally significant note, (I take homewares VERY seriously), Sam and I went plate-bowl-cup-cutlery shopping yesterday. Square white plates make EVERYTHING look tasty, so I figure if we're stuck eating baked beans for a week, it'll all be okay, so of course we bought a huge dinnerware set with about eight of them. I've included some comparative pictures of plates for you to get the idea. I'm pretty passionate. We also got some amazing, gross 70's style coloured loose dinnerware for $2 each at Harris Scarf....very. successful. day.

moving up and holding on.

This week, I have to officially narrow my choices for what I want to do with the rest of my life from 389423984823489 options to a preference list of about ten. This is terrifying. It hasn't really sunk in that next year, I won't be returning to 'school', per say. Classroom settings, loud mouthed girls who don't appear to be enrolled in any classes, quirky teachers, crappy libraries and impossible photo copiers will be a thing of the past. Instead, I shall welcome scary professors, large rooms filled with blank faces, sophisticated libraries and photo copiers with ten times the impossibility. Or, a year of grocery scanning loveliness. Either way, I'm moving up, moving on and hopefully, in 2012, moving out - to the big smoke! Melbourne, that is. Keeeeeen. Somehow, not scared. Probably because I am still in disbelief that my school life is actually coming to an end - and my actual life is about to begin.

ps. Mid year exams were death and should be outlawed...three months before end of years, come on. Just sayin'.
