I’m a little nervous. Add to the mix a touch of fear and a whole lot of happiness and I guess you get what I am these days. As I said previously, I got into UWS for high school teaching. This makes everything I’ve been planning and ultimately, dreaming about for, well, I can’t remember exactly how long, true. I am moving to Sydney. I am going to be living with Dean, full time. None of this living out of a suitcase. I can’t wait. I am sick and tired of trains every week. I was over it a month into our relationship but hey, it’s what I had to do. Otherwise, we’d never see each other.
I still haven’t found a job in Sydney. No such luck whatsoever. However, my mum gave me the idea of Centrelink. I never used to qualify for it but now I’ll be living out of home and quite a distance away from the central coast, maybe I can qualify for a little help. Even if it helps me pay the bills, etc, until I can get on my feet properly and find a job. It’d help a lot with settling into living out of home and starting a new degree.
I’ve enjoyed my uni holidays way too much to want to go back to classes. Especially at a new uni with strange people. I’ve got to make friends all over again. These things happen though. It worries me but at the same time, I’m kind of keen for a new beginning of sorts. I’m excited to start something new and hopefully better myself.
A big part of me longs for the day when I can be a full-time teacher, have regular working hours and a decent salary. It’s kind of sad to want to grow up so quickly, but I do. I want all this study to be done and to embrace full-time work. I’d like the idea of making a decent salary.
I’ve been watching Queer As Folk constantly all week while Dean’s been at work. He rekindled my love for the show. I’ve got all the seasons, just never been bothered to watch them until now.
So what lies ahead? Well, I need to enrol in classes for UWS, apply to Centrelink, hope I get in and somewhere in between, give my notice at work and move. I can’t apply for Youth Allowance until I’m fully enrolled. I THINK I’ve enrolled properly. A new university brings a whole new system to learn. Essentially I think I have the hang of it. As soon as I have solid proof I’m full-time, I’ll send my application away and hope for the best. I’d like to move in the coming weeks if at all possible. I want to get moved and settled in well-before uni starts at the end of next month. It’s just a matter of not wanting to leave work and have absolutely no money. But if Centrelink takes a while to get back to me or I can’t find a job anytime soon, God knows when I can leave work and that just complicates things further.
I have hope that somehow it’ll all work out. It’s just frustrating in the mean time.
