Well, this is it. This time tomorrow I will be at my new home, Ormond College, Melbourne. Of course, it isn't the last time that I'll ever be home - there's holidays, and next summer, and the odd weekend here and there. But it is an ending of sorts. I love my town, and I'm sad to leave it. It's home, and there will always be something that ties me to this place, with its flat, dry landscape. I'll miss it. I'm nervous, and frankly, I'm quite terrified. I'm going to be living with about 300 other people! Of course, all the old anxious questions resurface? What if I don't make friends? What if O-week requires us to do humiliating and embarassing things? What if I hate it? What if no one likes me? Whine, whine, whine, emo, emo, emo. However, I'm also feeling strangely optimistic. It's the right time to leave home, to try and make it on my own, to start again. To step aside from the old prejudices and habits of high school, and be anyone I want to be, just like my beloved Losties. I've been blog searching Ormond to try and find others who are going there, and I haven't managed to find many people. Is everyone else too cool for blogging? Will there be no one there who loves television and pop culture like I do? But that's the negative voice again. Even if there isn't anyone, I'll convert them. Muah ha! So finally, here comes young adulthood in all its glory. Let's go to work. :)
On another note, I still haven't seen 3x07 or 3x08. Sigh.
ETA: So the location is a link, and it takes you to a map of the US. What the frak? If only I lived there...then I could be up to date with all my television shows...
