What I want

My own house

I want to get into great habits and decorate my space just how I want it. I don't want to be forced to make small-talk with people or share things. I want it to be all mine.

To study to be a curator

I was hoping to do this at the University of Sydney but that might not happen. Pretty much every other University requires students to have an honours degree, something which I doubt I'll ever be good enough to get, but with a lot of help it might be attainable. Then I'd have to stay in Hobart for another year, which is something I don't want to do.

Move away from Hobart

I don't want to stay here anymore. I've been planning to get out along with going to the University of Sydney for months now and staying here would be such a step backwards. I don't really like Melbourne so that was the choice behind that. Everyone goes to Melbourne. I want to do my own thing. However, if I went to Melbourne I could hang with Holly and Amy and Carly and Kirsten. I might be unhappy there though, despite being around friends. I might regret the choice. Going to Sydney, however, would feel like my own adventure, my choice. I don't know many people there but it doesn't feel like a mistake, unlike moving to Melbourne would.

Live and work in the UK for at least a year

I want to do this but I want to get underway with studying towards a career in museums. It was probably stupid to think I'd ever get into the University of Sydney but I've put everything into it regarding planning. Maybe it'll have to be Melbourne. At least then I wouldn't be as lonely. I don't like it there though... Maybe I should just go to Sydney instead anyway. I can work full-time and study at Deakin over the internet. That was the backup plan anyway. Or I could just fly away to the UK and get into a ground-level museum position. If that'd work. I'd also love to go on some archaeological digs.

-------------------

I don't know what to do here. Maybe go to Sydney anyway, find a house, get a full-time job, study at Deakin via distance. The Melbourne course is crap though. I don't think it's as good as the Sydney one. Or I could live in Melbourne surrounded by friends. I don't know if I've been rejected by Sydney! I will call them up tomorrow and find out when they'd tell you if you weren't getting in. Then I can make some plans. Crappidy oh. Maybe I should just go to Sydney anyway. It'll be my fresh start and I'll make it a fantastic experience. I just wanted to go to the Uni there because it's beautiful. I will still study, just online. It might work better. I'll call and see what they say about rejections and go from there.

Travel

I want to do lots of travelling. I want to go to Asia first, to Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Nepal, Tibet, China, Japan. That's a lot of places and I probably wouldn't get to all of them. There are definitely some I've left out but I think this will have to wait, especially if I'm moving. I want to aim for something like this for the end of the year. A few months would be great. Hopefully I meet my man and we go together. I think it has to be Sydney. For now I'm tired so I think that's me for tonight. Hopefully tomorrow will bring better news.

Anthropology here I come!

Yesterday I was getting a bit sad about things. I'm better now. I was torturing myself by thinking about Yorick being with another girl so soon but I don't think he will be. It might be a fling but nothing serious, god no. I just don't want him to even have a fling. That'll make me sad.

Today I'm researching Universities in Australia that offer anthropology. I found a great definition on the University of Adelaide website but this computer won't let me copy and paste stuff. I hate that. I find I do that a reasonable amount of time to get annoyed about it. I'm not sure I'd want to move to Adelaide though as I know no one there. Maybe Melbourne because I know people there but I don't want to move there. I'll have to try New Zealand and see what they have to offer. Brilliant. I'm not sure if it'd be best to move somewhere else with no friends. It won't be for 2 years or something. There might even be a course in the UK that I can do. Just looking at my options I suppose.

I got home from work last night and had a chat to dad. He said he didn't think social work was for me because I'm not the sort of person to leave my work when I leave the premesis. It's depressing work too and surrounding myself with that might not be the best idea. My aunt Fra said "I think it would be a pretty soul destroying job working with needy people, some of whom are very difficult to deal with. It's not the kind of job to do unless you have a passion for it - or at least that's my impression." I agree. I don't think it's for me. I don't want a depressing job. I want a happy job researching cultures and human nature! Anthropology here I come. My aunt Jan said "a new direction for your career - why not. It is much better to work at something you enjoy." I agree again. I would love to research cultures and human nature and work somewhere great. This is exciting.

Unfortunatly I have to finish this semester. I have an assignment to do before Monday so I had better get off here before too long and attack that some more. It's my last assignment so it'll be great to finally get rid of it. I might start an anthropology journal while I think of the BSW. Fun! I can put all the definitions in and courses I might like to do. Fun!

I would love to go to another Uni and either have a dorm or live in a fantastic appartment like Carrie Bradshaw's on Sex and the City. Her appartment is fantastic. I need to check out New Zealand Uni's.
