I had the best moment of my life this afternoon.

Let me set the scene.
Me and my mum in the car, and a small bus filled with rowdy children.

As we passed the bus, the children stuck their upper bodies out of the bus and started screaming and shouting, and i just looked at them strangely.
It was a little something like this, actually:

Just imagine me, a moody teenager, in the car beside them.

And they continued yelling and laughing, and then i realised they were trying to befriend me. So i looked at them like this:















Then we caught up with them again, and we were going crazzzaaaay. The windows were down, the roof was open, we were all screaming.

i looked at them like this:

 And then my car turned left, and their little bus kept going straight.

And we stuck our heads out and kept screaming until we were completely separated.

I cried when i put my head back in the car.

And my mother and i, drove on in silence, and quiet tears rolled down my cheeks.

I will never forget that little bus full of heros.
beautiful, loud, angry, heros.

Love

my friends are wonderful.

I really really appreciate you guys.

Never in my life have i ever felt so secure in my friendships,

Our friendship group is a sanctuary. I feel like it can enter the group in a lunch time, and just laugh and feel safe and nice.

It really is a family. We never fight, we never get angry, we just love eachother.

We care about eachother, and love eachother and have no time for the rest.

Some people call that being fake, i think that is the realest you can get.

I love you guys :)

Damn.

I am feeling slightly sucky at the moment.

It is roughly 4 months until my birthday. I will be 17, i will be at the age of acquiring a licence and i will not have it.

It will also be the last day of school.

It will also be the formal.

I guess i imagined the formal to be some wonderful, magical night, but now everything is falling apart. And i just feel depressed and sour.

I should probably just sleep it off.

Pens.

Just deciding my future based on pens.

It's always been a toss up between UQ and QUT.
But now, I think I've finally decided.

Looking at the pens both universities handed out, there is a clear winner. And that is my dream University.


 QUT it is!

Well,  I certainly hope so.

I talked to the Dean of some Faculty at QUT yesterday, and I was astounded!
He was a Minister of Australia, he worked his way up the ranks in Australian Politics after studying at QUT.

UQ has absolutely no pull any more.
Sure, the Sandstone buildings are impressive and it is a reputable University, but so is QUT! Heellloooo 90% full-time employment rate after just 4 months of graduating XD

And Gardens Point Campus....... gahhh. CBD. River. Trees out of a fairy tale.

QUT is my dream.

My friends, I have a DREAM!!!!!! :D

Joy Comes in the Morning

The Morning is such a beautiful time.
Once you get over the initial inertia, it is truly the most wonderful time.

This morning i woke up at 5:00.
that's 2 and a half hours earlier than usual. That's 2 hours where the world is still dark, the air is cold, and I get to be with me.

It's 6:40 and the world is still dark and quiet, the house is still asleep. I'm making porridge in the kitchen, and it is wonderful.

Thank you for winter mornings.

Just In Case We Forget.
