Holy holy doodle. Life is good. Wonderful in fact. It's been too long since I was ever this carefree. For those who still bloody visit this thing (not many), you would have noticed that I finally graduated Goal Number 19; Graduate university.
It seems as though this chapter has finally come to an end. I'm overcome by a really strange feeling, now that uni is all over, it kind of feels like all my hardships have pretty much ceased as well. Maybe it's just that massive weight off of my shoulders, and I really mean, massive; boulder like.
Everything else seems so little compared to how it used to be, and by everything I mean worries about absolutely everything. Life just feels so complete now that all (most) of my blood sweat and tears to complete something that was so difficult for me to do has been achieved. Even though I knew of my grades long before putting on the graduate robe, it didn't really hit me until I was standing in front of mum that I knew I was finally a graduate.
Mum got teary, which made me a little emotional. So much we have sacrificed for mum to tell people that her son graduated from uni and for myself to say 'I'm a graduate bitch'. Ultimately, like I say occasionally, it really is only a piece of paper (one that I've paid alot of money for) and a title but it is what you do with that piece of paper that makes going to university something to be proud of; I mean, if I just wanted to make money, I would of picked up a trade or better yet, work in woolies and saved, they make alot more than intern pharmacists I'll tell you that much.
But none the less, I am proud of myself for finishing. There's no better feeling than doffing to the chancellor, shaking their hand and then pissing off never to return ever again! (I'm actually thinking of going back mind you, but that's another story).
Thank you all for those who read or have read. It is for you that I write these blogs in times of need for expression; I'd probably blab about stuff either way but it does make a difference knowing people want to listen genuinely rather than having to.
Have a Merry Merry Christmas and a Happy Happy new year.
19. Graduate from University. Completed!
O, Mai Gaaah. I can't believe I actually finished! Well technically, I haven't graduated but all went well with assessment and the hard few years (more than a few) have finally paid off. It's interesting to see how far I've gotten since I first started this blog which began nearing the beginning of my studies. I shared how I dropped out of uni to start it back up again and then shared how life has it's twists and turns and I ended up doing pharmacy.
The journey seems like it only began not so long ago but in noticing the side panel of my blog, it was in 2006 when I started this bloody thing. 2006! That was nearly six years ago! Having a quick browse to see what I was on about all those years ago, it does seem that a little bit of what I used to be has changed. I seemed so carefree regardless of all the problems associated with work, girls and everything in between that I didn't realize it would be the last time I would ever enjoy being young without repercussions.
In saying that though, life really wouldn't be the same if you didn't make mistakes along the way, which I definitely did as you can see from a number of my posts (probably most of them!). I've seen how the mood of my posts have shifted through the years, a lot of sombre feelings but yet, in between the darkness are still those little glimpses of light. Without them, I'm certain I would not have gotten as far as I have.
It kind of feels like the end yet on the other hand, I don't think it's really started. An end to one journey, and to the next step to another. I don't start full-time work until next week so the past two weeks have been all about relaxing. Still working the same old shifts at the sixer and the 'vale with the pharmacy work filling in the gaps but really enjoying the spare time I've got on the days off and any other time I can squeeze out of the day.
TBC.
I've forgotten how much I love Bublé!!!
