HOLIDAYS

There isn’t a sweeter word in the English language than holidays. It strikes joy into the heart of every university student everywhere, and particularly in this university student. I finished my exams a week ago and I can safely say I have done very little, achieved absolutely nothing and I am LOVING it. I will have to snap back to reality soon and find a job.

I’ve been looking for a job for a while now. I’ve had a few interview and I have a few more in the coming week. I’ll be quite excited to be employed once more. I miss having an income. Because of my job hunting, I had to delay Sydney for a little while. I feel guilty going and spending money while not earning any. But rest assured, I will be going. I’m determined. I haven’t visited my family in a while and having spent 10 years there growing up, I do miss it. The Melbourne-Sydney rail link cannot come fast enough.

I do plan on having a mildly productive break. I will hopefully be working, but I also plan to continue with Italian while I have a few weeks off, and learn piano again. I’ve already convinced myself that probably none of these things will happen but at least I’ve tried… I also plan on filling my time by volunteering at a few charity events, while also planning events for the Oxfam group I’m a member of.

I’m going to savour every moment of these holidays because before I know it, it’ll be semester 2 and then it’s back to university all over again.

I hope all of your exams went well and you are happy with the results. I’m happy with two of mine… I could’ve done better on the third but what’s done is done. There’s no point in stressing about it now.
