Writing in the backyard on a 39 degree day.
I haven't worked in about two weeks, my contract for work ran out and I'm not exactly sure I want to renew it. It's fun but the idea of something new is appealing. Alternatively, maybe if I'm not complaining about my current job I should settle for that rather than go somewhere else which could potentially rekindle my slowly fading hatred for the employees world.
Two hot days in a row, it's good, but bad. Good because these two days represent the summer of which we never had and bad because, well, it's just too hot for a Melbourne kind of summer. Yesterday, before the heat reached something between unbearable and torture, I walked to the post office to collect my tickets to anberlin. I'm seeing anberlin on a thursday night, then the day after I'm going to the Soundwave music festival to see them again (whilst seeing many other amazing bands). Two days in a row! Completely stoked.
I'm eagerly awaiting university to start again, to set a routine back into my life. I feel that I've been doing too much of nothing for far too long. And by doing nothing, that actually means video games, reading books, organizing bank accounts (sooo unbelievably tedious and boring) and slowly piecing together my grand holiday/ stay at London.
So we are 14 days into 2009, I haven't posted any resolutions or summaries of the previous year, I guess I was a fortnight too late. but I'll write a summarized version of my summary: This year I have three resolutions that I will try to stick by, one is to embrace differences, two is to apply myself in my work and three is to save enough money to book a flight, accommodation and have some spending money for my holiday (hopefully) next year. As for 2008, I said that 2007 was the hardest year... I was wrong. 2008 was the first year of university, the year my first relationship came about and the year a bucket load of buried family problems which rose to the surface. I had made friends, lost contact with others. I think I cried more (out of the never-ending flux of frustrations) than any other year. It was a trying year but I was glad i had it. I came out much stronger.
So happy new year for 14 days ago! I'm sure that 2009 will surely impose changes and challenges to our lives and I'm sure we're all strong enough to face them.
