Melbourne..Packing..Resume..Jaffy (Adi)

I’m winding up my two week Sydney voyage. The city is as picturesque as they come but dare I say it’s no Melbourne? I’m actually looking forward to going ‘home’; despite the menace that is winter Melbourne is lovable with rather endearing qualities. Her striking skyline shadows the city matrix, a grid-like structure that assembles all: overarching buildings that not only house offices and apartments but beautiful rooftop bars, charming cafes and all sorts of inviting shops as well. The lush greenery dotted throughout pleasantly garnishes the city. The trams, trains and buses eases ones journey within the grid. And Melbournians are as pleasant as they come, a really friendly lot. When doing my research on where I would prefer to attend university Melbourne was ranked as the second best student city in 2013 losing out to Paris as a result of the cost of living-as we all know Melbourne isn’t exactly an economical place to live. Nonetheless I can wholeheartedly vouch for Melbourne’s recognition; she has certainly grown on me.

Though I am looking forward to heading back to Melbourne I anticipate the glamorous job of packing. I loth packing: the most tedious job ever. But it must get done, as I’m moving into College 9 days from today. To think I only arrived with a suitcase and a half, my belongings have since multiplied-greatly. I will no doubt procrastinate the packing but it shall indeed get done. I’m excited about moving into College though, as I’m hopeful that it shall be a good time. However I shall avoid romanticizing the occasion, as we know all to well what happened the last time I did so. Thus I shall simply await the experience and live it as it comes.

And I really need to finish up my resume when I’m back in Melbourne. Resume writing; I feel as if I’m auctioning myself on paper and whoever manages to sell themselves the best is somehow purchased? Oh well. Again this must get done, as I desperately need a job. I swipe my card far too much which isn’t a real problem seeing as I’m not on a student budget -I wish. Attempting to have a social life can be bleak only because it involves spending money and, I may possibly have a shopping addiction (diagnosis is still undergoing) nevertheless hence my hunting for a job to earn an extra dollar or two.

I’m midway through the official holiday and it is quite surreal how time has flown. Results are out and I won’t comment on how well I did or didn’t do but I will tell you that I’m ready to take on the coming semester with fresh eyes and a hearty spirit. My timetable is set (rookie mistakes were avoided) and I am now confidently savvy with the campus layout so I will no longer have to ask strangers where buildings are-it is a comforting feeling although, I may still be a jaffy, I am no longer a naïve jaffy.

This is a post with no real contention but rather a rambling of disconnected thoughts. This is where I bid you adieu until I ramble again.
