Wow so life huh? yeah a lots happened. a lots changed. Some very very good, some I'm still not sure about. So basically we all know that at the start of the year I started at Deakin Uni, that's been a major change in my life of course but an anticipated one. things were sort of in a nice groove though I must say. When I lived in the city it was only a 5 min walk to my work and a half an hour tram ride to my uni. So although things were a tiny bit boring, there was nothing drastic or major in my life going on, although it all kind of left me feeling a bit too content, things were still smooth.
Now let me tell you whats happened in the last month. WE MOVED. about 40 mins out of the city. Again that's not so bad. but you have to consider this, the area that we're living in has a bus that runs by the hour to the station. So therefore if I miss a bus or if its weekend time table I could be waiting a whole other hour to get to the station and back. This makes it incredibly difficult to get to work in the morning, as it is I've had to change my availability at work so that I had to start an hour later (I still have to get up even earlier then when I lived in the city though) Getting to uni's become a bit difficult as well too. Instead of half an hour it takes me an hour and a half to get to uni. ON TOP OF THIS..my lap tops stopped working so I've had to put a new one of layby, with money I do not have I might add. Between all of these changes, I met someone as well, about a week before the big move in fact. I'm gonna call him B for privacy's sake. Its kind of crazy how much we click. We like similar things, same morals, same sense of humor, its easy to be around him, no awkward moments, and there's physical chemistry there as well. We can have so much fun yet be completely serious when we need to be. I never thought I'd meet someone like him. He's all shades of grey yet he has this center that's bursting with colour and insane potential for greatness. I just aaaah there's something so special about him you know? and there's something incredibly special between us too. I'm fucking lucky actually. Of course though there is a slight...hmmm hiccup? Things would have been easy if I had met him well before we moved or hey lets dream big..IF WE HADN'T MOVED AT ALL. but that's just how things are. he lives a good 2 hours away from me, plus we both work, plus we both have school. We're both determined to make things work and things actually are going really really well between us, but there's that fucking distance shit like aaaah. It just makes things so much harder. especially with the distance I already have to travel and my only form of transportation at this point in time is public transport....
But maybe moving was good? maybe the change was a good thing. I'm starting to get motivated by it all you know? Its exciting. When I was living in the city, I felt like I was stuck with the way things are, but damn it I'm gonna be a goddamn gypsy and and change my life whenever I want. Okay so I just moved? Well lets go the whole shebang and change uni and work as well. Make myself happy. I still wanna be going to the city of course but I really rather not be going to the city every day of the week, that's just wasting my time and money. So my plan is to reapply to RMIT so that I'm only going to the city a couple times a week. This will in turn still give me a chance to see B during the week after uni. The next part to my plan to to wait until I reach the two year mark at my work at get promoted to crew trainer. That'll be at the end of the year so I've still got a bit of time but once that happens I'm going to enroll into a hospitality course involving RSA (responsible service of alcohol) licence, a gambling licence and a certificate in baristing. I already have customer service and cafe experience from my current job so it means I should be able to land a job near where I live pretty easily. While I'm working towards these outcomes I'll also be working towards getting a my licence. With these crazy goals in mind things by next year should be a whole lot different for me

UPAADTES.. I get to look back on and cringe
apparently I like to write journal entries online that literally any body can look at even though they're more for me to look back on and cringe at. I don't really know what to say? I was reading through some of my old entries and I'm amazed at that Mariah...but I really like this one so I'm going to talk about her. I'm engaged to G, same guy I've been dating since the end of 2017. We have a beautiful 7 month old together and have moved into a very average house, but its our first so I'm greatful to have a roof over our heads. I spent so long trying to figure out my career path, putting all this unnecessary pressure on myself. I really didn't need to. I still have goals and aspirations, but now I can expect that maybe I'm getting it wrong and things will come my way when they're meant to. like my son. these days I spend my time being a mother and when I my time grants it, working on my mural business. If it doesn't pan out, I'm okay to go back to work barista, maybe even open
How you Dooinnnngg??
Here's to another update because I just don't use deviant art that much anymore. I'm pretty sure only one person actually reads these but I enjoy doing them so I'm gonna keep doing them.
So I think the last time I posted one of these was over a year ago? Well then, there's a lot I have to say.
So where should I start? Uni? My Job? My Boyfriend? My Family? I might do this in a question and short (extended) answer form to make this easier to read.
Hows uni life going?
It isn't. I deferred and just never went back.
How's that job of yours going?
Did I ever mention that I work at a cafe as a barista All-Rounder? Well now I'm sort of a supe
Rambles
This is gonna be a bit of a ramble since I haven't given many updates on how I'm going or where I'm at in life currently so here goes..
I deferred my uni halfway through last trimester meaning (for those who don't understand) I took a break from uni to resume the following trimester. After I moved so far away from my current campus I found it difficult to keep up with my classes and studies, alongside working both morning shifts and overnights. I also had a lot going on with my personal life that I found added to my stresses so the decision to defer my course became and easy one to make. During this time I found a new job at a cafe near my h
Career Revelation
I've had a revelation. Its taken a bit of thinking and reasoning in my mind but it all makes to me sense now. for a while now I've been discontent in uni. I mean I enjoy learning and I love taking in new information but I felt like I was wasting my time, like there was no point being there. At least in year 12 I had a goal, an outcome. I was doing it to get into uni. But once I got to uni I thought to myself, what was the point of doing all these essays, oral presentations and excessive travel if I wasn't getting what I really wanted out of it? I figured yeah maybe I'd become a teacher. I mean I enjoy working with people and its one of the mo
