Back to School (Georgie)

So hello! It is now the end of my second week of semester, and it is going quite well I think.

I thought since I have only five contact hours (yes, thank you for asking, I am a genius and it is a full load) I would get a bit bored, but I’ve been pretty busy of late.

I was worried about getting a job, but at the moment I’m doing a couple of shifts in the city Angus and Robertson stores, which has been good, I just hop it lasts. As I’m only a casual and not located at one store they just give me a ring when they need someone to fill a shift, normally a day or two beforehand. But working again is nice. I’m wondering if I should start properly looking for another job or whether just to see if I get a permanent shift at the bookshop.

I’ve decided to do SALP this semester, which I reckon looks great. Has everyone heard of it? Any tips if you’ve done it? Hopefully they’ll accept my application.

I’ve also applied to do the generate program for the Oaktree foundation, which is just a bunch of leadership and volunteering stuff. I went to the launch last Thursday, which was conveniently at uni, and it was great! Really inspiring.

And in some final news, I’ve been accepted into the World Creative Youth Forum in May in the Philippines! I am so excited, now I just have to work out who will sponsor me (if anyone) for the airfare over.

On a final quick note as I am just about to head off to work, how hilarious are first years! Not in a let’s-point-and-laugh way, just a ‘hey, was I really like that in first year?’ way. Like, did I talk so much about high school and VCE marks? Did I turn up 10 minutes early to lectures? In fact I did, I remember on my first day I actually went to all of my lecture theatres to see where they were and how to get from one another because I’d gotten in like 3 hours early to uni I was so excited. Anyway, good luck first years! I hope you’re first weeks have been great.

Cheers,

Georgie
