Twenty-bloody-fourteen. How on Earth did you get here so fast? Only yesterday I was in year 6 crushing on the tallest white girl in the grade, but now we're here in the present and university is knocking at my doorstep. It's funny because high school was such a blur and now it's over... No more Wednesday assemblies, no more canteen lunches. Sigh.
Since my last post in 2012 I've had my ups, downs, loop-de-loops and God damn back flips of moments due to friends, family and situations I threw myself into. Nice work ABH. You're welcome.
But that's the problem... As I said it was a huge blur and I barely remember the details. I remember panicking over English with Mrs Judge lurking the halls or getting caught in awkward arguments between friends of mine... But nothing really stuck.
Until recently.
Post HSC, kids, is incredibly over-rated... Had to clear that up before I went on any further.
1) Graduated/Sat Exams: Year 12 finished for me on like the 5th of November, if I remember correctly, with that being the day of my last exam - Biology. The actual feeling though, the whole relief, hit me sometime right before formal. I mean it honestly didn't sink in until I was putting on my suit for formal. Nice threads btw. Cheers. Speaking of which...
2) Formal: It was a really nice night; the food was good, everyone looked great, I attempted to dance several times throughout the night... Hell, I even won a sash for "Bravest". I'll be honest, ladies and gentlemen, the reason I won that sash is because I went around to all my mates before we voted and told them "ABH for bravest" *wink, wink*. I remember Brigitta's face as she announced it... It was a combination of confusion and disbelief... But hey, I have a sash! Ha!
3) Turned 18: People are all like, "I'mma get so drunk when I turn 18" or they're like "I'mma hit up all the clubs when I turn 18". Shit son, my original plans were to invite all my mates to an all you can eat Pizza Hut restaurant. Eventually my plans were swayed to a more mature venue - Hooters. The organization was pretty bad, I'll be honest. I avoided inviting too many people but in the end a number of my mates pulled out anyway. My older friends brought along their fiancees, which was fine considering how we had spare seats and they're cool people.
Crystal, or whatever she called herself, made me a custom bib to have with my rack of ribs. She drew a pair of boobs in pink, signing her name at the bottom. The best part of the night, well maybe for some, was when they forced me to get up and dance with the other birthday boys in the joint. One of them was drunk and could barely stand. He pretty much stole the limelight when the chicken dance came around. For the rest of the night we watched as the drunk guy sang with all the hooters girls and generally had a good time.
For those who were left over, we decided to head over to Mark's house (one of the older guys I told you about), where we watched MMA fighting and had shots of God knows what. I feel sorry for Jacinda who sat their awkwardly as their dog Onix licked her to bits and the guys around her were just talking about League of Legends. Hehe.
The last thing to really say about the night were the presents: an Iron Man graphic novel (nice, nice) and a Nintendo 3DS accessory kit... What? I was discussing with Tyrone earlier to see what could happen, and maybe see if they could scratch up enough to shout me a 3DS. Haha honestly I wasn't expecting them to but now I have accessories! Once I get the damned thing I can use the screen protectors and the case they bought me.
Nah but seriously ty lads, it was a good night.
4) Early offers: UWS, my local, offered me two courses before the main rounds: Sport and exercise science, and nursing. I took nursing. Not sure whether it was the allure of a female dominated workplace or the fact being that Sport and Exercise scientists don't have stable jobs straight out of uni... Actually, it was the latter. The former is just a bonus.
Anything else? Yeah, plenty actually but I just can't remember it all. Honestly I had my own set of highs and lows after HSC as well, but I guess that's just life at work.
Boom! Welcome to the new year guys. I hope you all are enjoying your break from school and wish you all the best of luck in university. You'll need it.
Btw, made a ranked team with the boys tonight called "Digimon".
