Update on my oh so interesting life (Georgie)

Work:
Doncaster A&R closed down so am now just a company casual. So far have had a few calls to work and have gotten a few shifts at chaddy and camberwell.
Been for an interview at Borders on Lygon – unsucessful. Interviews suck.
Was complaining to a friend about my joblesssness and now I’m at a law firm in the city doing filing etc. It’s a pretty decent job, but so far only one shift a week and as I am hoping to be eligible for the independent allowance next year, it’s not enough. NB: This has further reinforced in my mind the idea that it is never what you know, but who.

Study:
Had my first and last exam today, yay! Now spanish is officially over and I’m pretty sure I passed. I’ve mellowed on my last ‘hate spanish’ blog and am thinking I’ll give it a miss for next semester, but see if I want to pick it up again next year.
Have three essays due next week, all of which have yet to be started.

Social:
I feel a bit stupid, but I’m now stoked to have a bunch of people that I can actually call uni friends. Went to PA’s for the first time last Monday with a bunch of people from my USA Today tute, was awesome.
Went to the Glenferrie last Tuesday with two friends, we got kicked out because I was (apparently) too intoxicated (drunk sounds trashy) – needless to say, friends were rightly pissed off with me.
Had an inaugural ‘Grey’s Night’ last Sunday with a bunch of girls from Siena. We’re thinking it’ll be a bit of a weekly thing to keep in touch with everyone in the group. Used a coupon from my union booklet for pizza, so is handy for something. ‘What About Brian’ is now growing on me.
Went to a Kate Miller Heidke gig the other week, was probably my favourite gig yet. She’s awesome! Check her out if you like something a little bit left of center: http://www.myspace.com/katemillerheidke – ‘Out and In’ is my favourite song at the mo’, makes me feel relaxed.
Going to Missy Higgins tomorrow – yay!

Sport:
Am feeling feral as I’ve not been to the gym in about 2 weeks, will go tomorrow.

Home/family:
I love my mum, but am pretty sure I have grown out of living at home, will probably move out at the start of next year.
My Dad has a new girlfriend of a few months, found out a couple of days and am pissed he didn’t tell me. Then pissed my brother knew and didn’t tell me. She’s about 20 years younger than he is…

Uni:
At the end of my first semester at Uni (I can’t believe it was only 12 weeks, that’s how long one of our terms were last year), I’ve decided it’s better than I could have ever hoped for. My classes are so interesting and very rarely do I not want to attend one. I’m looking forward to a bunch of new subjects next semester. Uni is so so much easier than year 12. There’s so much less pressure and no feeling of ‘this is it’. So much more freedom, great people, more alcohol, the work is enjoyable and so is easier than last year. Got a bit of a feeling that I’m in control of my life and the direction it heads in. At the mo’, I’m thinking I’ll major in politics and history and then do post grad law.
So year 12s: there is a light at the end of the tunnel, uni rocks!
My only complaint is that I have very few clothes and there are so many days in a week.

Have a good one,
Georgie

NB: Future Arts students – prepare to hear (of in some cases, see scrawled across a toilet wall) the pizza joke over and over again.
