Anxious

The 25th of August is getting ever-closer, and the date is daunting me. I am so worried about not being ready to leave the country for five months. I have barely been away from home for a weekend alone, I think schoolies week was possibly my longest period away from home without my parents. Naturally, I am beginning to stress. So now, I'm going to write a list of things I need to do, to organise, to get before I head overseas. Please, allow me to bore you with my list.

• Buy new memory card(s) for digital camera and video camera
• Buy new video camera case
• Get new mobile phone! (this is something relatively new on my to do list, because my phone decided to go all crap on me today)
• US Consulate interview! (gah, the effort)
• Go to Deakin Education Abroad fair
• Add my mother as a signatory to my bank account
• Learn how to use Skype!
• Create email group for people I want to keep updated
• Buy travel socks!! (my mother is forcing me to)
• Buy new digital camera case as well...
• Convert some money!

Anyway, I can't think of anything else at this point...there is probably 20million things to add to that, but for now that will do...

Only 25 days!!!

Revelations

OK, so completely neglecting my initial plan of a "friends" series of posts, I have begun my new story blog!
http://aquium.blogspot.com
For those of you who take the time to read it, please remember I am not a professional writer :P, just dabbling in the area. My inspiration for writing lies in the fact, that no story exists in this way. It is a story I want to read, it merges a lot of concepts and ideas from other movies and films I have picked up over the years. In that sense, its somewhat borrowed, but it is not so much that it is illegal. Certainly, it is not so 'borrowed' that the story could be read from a better writer. That is why, I wrote it...so I could read, something I want to read, but does not exist yet!

In other news, a very bitchy blog will arrive shortly. I am having conversations with the head of a particularly new political party that is gaining some ground in Australia, particularly with University students. It is bitchy because, what I believe are their core values, are heavily contradicted in their activity. And despite many of my friends being directly involved, I detest some of the things they do, and how blatantly ignorant they are of Australian law, and the implications of the Australian Consitution (the embedded Commonwealth one, not the state try-hard versions) both in terms of structure, and 'freedoms'. So, that is coming...but before I randomly blog with a point of view that could easily be disregarded for its lack of credibility, I am attempting a well-researched blog.

That is all for now!
