I ordered my 2009 Moleskine today. I also bought a Moleskine pocket notebook because I want to follow this GTD hack for Moleskine Notebooks from Eston Bond. It looks like I could really use it day-to-day, seeing as how I love lists and all. Looking through the compact calendars from David Seah also, I made my own from October 1st 2008 - October 1st 2009. It made me realise that within a year my whole life is going to be undergoing some massive changes.
I'll have finished my Multimedia (Business Marketing) degree by the time the calendar ends.
I'll be looking for jobs.
Everything will be changing, everyone will be getting older, and most of my friends will also be finishing their uni courses and going into the big wide world. Of course when you move from High School to Uni, that is also called moving into the big wide world. I guess each world becomes big when you don't know what is in it.
I decided today that what I really want to do, is be a photographer.
I spend most of my life taking pictures, and gained the nickname papparazzi in high school.
I won a photography award in grade 5. I did photography in year 10, and loved it.
I figured its something I don't think I would hate if I had to do it everyday, and I reckon I'd really enjoy it. so why not give it a go?
So basically the rest of this year will be saving for a SLR camera, and re-learning what I learnt in year 10 about SLR cameras and how they work, and what makes a great and interesting photo.
The past couple of weeks have been a bit crazy, there has been so much happening.
I moved back to Geelong, and trying to organise my stuff back home has been a bit of a disaster. I have way too much stuff, and most of it I want to keep for when I move out again, so it's a matter of finding a spot where it will fit.
I've been loving seeing Reece everyday, it's such a change from the depressing non-Reece weekdays of Melbourne.
The only problem with living in Geelong is I've become so accustomed to Melbourne, and what I didn't realise was that it wasn't just uni keeping me there. It was everyone and everything. The city, the shopping, the hustle bustle, the closeness of EVERYTHING, how it actually has everything, the quality of everything is so much higher (i.e. food), and most of all, my mates. I miss seeing them whenever I like. I miss our random Tuesday night adventures. I miss just dropping in on people and going on expeditions to wherever we want. I was talking to someone the other day who said I will probably be travelling a lot for the first 3 months I'm back. I reckon that's true. I'll see how I go!
I've also been noticing what people have been noticing in me. Like my Dad noticing that I 'keep weird hours'. When he said that it was 10:30pm on a Sunday night and I was having a toasted sandwich for dinner, when they had had theirs 3 hours before. I get up early to do stuff, and other days I sleep half the day. I go out late, then get up early. I go to bed early yet sleep all day. I have no schedule as such, and this is what I'd do in Melbourne. I'd go supermarket shopping at 1am. I'd randomly go to Chadstone just for an hour after uni. Tait was saying how I'm a Melbourne person now, and everyone is expecting me to be how I was; a Geelong person. They are expecting me to be the same as I was when I lived in Geelong before uni. I think that is completely true as well. I've changed a lot and people haven't noticed, because I've been far far away.
