Plans gone haywire!

Over the last few months I've changed my mind about what to do when school finishes so many times I couldn't actually tell you what half the ideas were. At the start of the year though, I was intent on studying audio production at an SAE college in Melbourne, however, after being shot down about anything and everything I attempted to do in order to get myself in a place where I could do that by my mother, I gave up on the idea to focus on studying science at university. This past two weeks I've just decided that I'm going to do what I want, when I want and screw anyone who wants to get in my way. Fortunately, the system via which applications are made closed their first round, and I can still do a late entry, it just costs $86 instead of $25.

So next year, I'm looking at Melbourne. The rent is higher the closer to the city you go, and unfortunately, SAE is in South Melbourne and I'm not keen on traveling too far to school every day. I am however keen on being in the same city as a few people I know, convincing Jess to roadtrip down there for my interview sometime soon and convincing her to move in with me so we can share bills, and also for the amount of bands who either live in or come to Melbourne. I love the music scene down there, I love the art scene down there, I basically love everything about it. And to be able to study what I want to do with the rest of my life would just top it all off.

So now, life begins I guess. I need to stress more about saving to get there than I do about my exams since they are basically irrelevant to my life. I'll obviously still sit them, just to get an ATAR in case I decide to change my entire life, but I'm not going to stress about studying too much, or stress about sitting them like it's the end of my life.

I'm going to get my tattoo, move where I want to, study what I want to and where I want to, and for once, be happy that these decisions are what I want, not something I'm doing to keep other people happy. And I will be content no matter who turns away from me for making these choices. It's my life, and I will do what I wish.
