Away and away.
Well, this'll probably be my last entry for a few days (haha, nothings changed) and certainly my last entry here in Townsville which is kind of sad actually.
My degree is finished. Three years of study/slogging and I really can't believe it's done. Over with. Finished. Wow, kind of mind numbing.
Results should be out sometime around the 10th of next month and I'm fairly confident I've passed everything, so yay! I have a qualification!! XD
Tomorrow I fly down to the Gold Coast and the very next day my father and I begin the 2-3 day drive back up here with a moving van to pick up all my stuff. Haha, looking at it now, I'm wondering whether a 1 tonne mover was big enough, you will not believe the amount of shit I've hoarded over three years lol.
We have a window or 6 days to drive up, pack then drive back down so it will interesting time spent; just my dad and I. Usually we get along pretty well, but it's been a long time since we've been so long in each other's company alone.
I think it will be fun.
Or we'll end up killing each other, one of the two.
I'm going to miss Cathee horribly. And Nathan, oh god I'm going to miss him too.
They're my dearest most wonderful friends up here and the closer it gets to leaving, the harder it is to think about leaving them. Dammit, this is definitely the WORST part about moving.
And no matter how many times I do it, and believe me I've moved location countless times (as in, you couldn't count how many with two hands), had to leave people behind countless times in my family's nomadic history, it just never ever gets any easier.
I hate leaving people behind, especially when I care about them so much.
So it'll be another new start. One more in an endless cycle.
I'm hoping to spend these holidays chilling at my parents house, god knows, I've earned the rest.
So no job hunting, at least within my new qualification (hah!), because I am sorely in need of NOT doing anything design or illustration for some time. I've lost that passion and it hurts. But believe it or not, I don't see it as a hopeless cause, I have a strong feeling that after a bit of r&r and some major soul searching, I should get it back and find my way again. Art is just too engrained in me to let it go altogether and hough I have had those moments where that seemed a good idea, I don't think I ever will. Or even CAN for that matter.
But shit if all this doesn't scare me.
And believe me it doesn't get any easier to make these sorts of transitions/decisions the older you get.
Enough rambling.
I shall see you all in a few days, hopefully without any major drama's happening along this massive trip I've roped myself into haha.
Wish me luck on the drive!! this is my very first venture into manual driving! XD
Take care.
