First entry.
Well, Here I am.
I vowed I would never make a blog, however, I find myself viewing various things in a very different way as I did when I was attending school.
I have recently finished year 12, at South Sydney High.
I guess it goes without saying that people take High School for granted, for school in general for granted, however I never really knew what it meant until after school is finished. Firstly, my mum.
My mum raised my sister who has just turned 20, and myself, 17, since i was 2. My dad left us, moved away, got remarried, and died of lung cancer.
I love my mother, I think I've spent my whole life taking her company for granted. Where as in the past I have been annoyed when she interrupts me while I'm playing a game, now when she interrupts me, I can see all those times she was just caring and being a motherly...'mother'. I had a first real hit of a 'out of a box' perspective a few nights ago.
My mum had just spent all night at a dinner function with the council when she came home, all dressed up in black dress, earrings and make-up. She interrupted me and asked me If she looked pretty. I don't know why, but after i said she did, it hit me.
Be the female 10, or 100, they are just in need of love, when my mum asked if she looked pretty, I could just imagine her as a child all dressed up ready to go over a sleep over or something asking her dad if she looked pretty. After all the years, work, time spent shaping my mother, one thing has never changed, she just wants someone to acknowledge her effort to look good. I don't know why this was such a big thing, It just really emotionally hit me hard.
On to the second thing, when people 'dream'.
When a person has a 'dream', Is it just a way of a person saying "I would like to do this, but I don't think i can". When people say they 'dream' of being astronauts, how many of them put in the hours and really take a big stab at trying to become one?
One thing I think everyone took for granted in school was routine... Ah how i miss you routine. Wake up at 7, have a shower, leave by 8, get driven to school 8:15, play handball until school started at 8:45, school until break, handball at break, school until lunch, handball at lunch, school until home at 3:15, home, fill in time until 12, sleep. Rinse and repeat for 12 years.
My days at EB Games Bondi are nothing like that now, my days off are unsure, hours waver, I mean, I love my work and the people i work with, but it just seems a extremely big shift.
Anyhoo, I've ranted enough about my life at the current, I'd like to hear about you guys, Whats things you have noticed since you left school, What have you noticed extremely different since you entered 'the real world'.
