The Rest Is Still Unwritten...


 It's been 3-4 days since I found out my university offers. Sorry, I've been depressed and haven't felt like going online or blogging.

I'm kidding. I was so incredibly lucky to have been accepted to my first preference university! UTS, here I come! *puts on Cali-sunglasses even though it's the dead of night* And because I've been so totally stoked for university, I've been neglecting my reading. Gah! Plus, I need to head to the post office. I'm dreadful. Count the first (maybe second) New Years' Resolution that I've broken. I know I keep making excuses, and here is the real, truthful, reason as to why I have not posted anything yet. It has either been too hot, or too windy or raining. My parents are home. My brother is home. No one is home but I need to take care of the dog. Etc. See the pattern here? I keep on making excuses to talk myself out of going outside! I keep on telling myself "Oh, I can go tomorrow..." when I know that I mean that I just don't want to go to the post office. Because I'm scared to go. I'm afraid to lug 4 kg worth of packages over my train station to the other side, risking being seen by someone I know, going to the counter of the post office, buying packages, and having to fork over cash to send over stuff I should've sent over months ago! And there you go. That is my ultimate excuse, and it is the one that holds the most truth to it.

Now that that's out of the way:

Please help me! I'm sick, mentally. I'm afraid of the post office!




Anyone else from Sydney and has gone to/is going to/plans to go to UTS?
I'm so excited! :DD I know the university is expensive and stressful, but I'm so excited to get to work, meet new people, join some clubs, play sports, and be a uni student! Of course, this means that I won't have nearly as much time to read as I used to. Which saddens me, and also wills me to leave the blog & reading scene every now and then. I will probably have periods of time where I'll take a leave of absence with blogging, and for that, I apologise. But it is definitely needed. I need a job. I need to do things again.



To celebrate, here's an "old" song. :)
This is one that I found by browsing the radios. I love finding those old songs that I was too young to appreciate back in "its day". I might make a special of this--like, for any Saturday post I make, I'll post a video for an old song that I discover.





Go on--tell me about your university experience? Perhaps you're a "commencing student" as well? Maybe you're still in high school, or graduated university years ago... Give me some ammunition, please!

Also, for any artists (or bored & insomniac souls) out there, my username on iSketch is cherii. Add me if you want! We can duel each other, reader to reader! :D

Congrats Cass on getting your first preference and heading off to uni!
My sister wants go to UTS for fashion designing or something like that. I approve wholly becuase that means I can go to USyd without worrying that she'll interfere, ha ha.
Uni's wonderful. Hope you enjoy every minute!
LOL - I work part-time at a post office.
Don't fear us... we are kind, gentle people.
But if you piss us off, we will make you lick stamps. Lick it good!
Congratulations on your first pref. Cass! I got mine too, so I'm off to Macquarie to do a BA in writing! How crazy! I'm kind of freaked out though... it's so big and scary!! But I'm sure I'll have fun. :)

Don't worry, I'm terrified of my local library. They refused my a library card when I was little and the guy was really mean... I'm scared to go in there now. :S
I'm checking out iSketch asap. Oh and there's nothing scary about the post office at all, maybe try heading into the post office without your books and just buy a couple parcel post bags, that way you can package them at home.

You can take your time sending mine, of course :) Maybe I'll have even read RIVAL by the time I need to send the books out, saving me $$$.
Aww congrats Cass! That's amazing! :D
I'm scared of the post office, too. I always try to get someone else to go for me.

Congrats on getting into Uni. I went here in the UK and I *loved* it. I was actually never that bothered about studying until I got there, but it's *so* much more interesting than school. And the lifestyle is pretty awesome too.
Woah, Lman, calm yourself. Post Offices are freaky places, I understand her fear. They're so quiet and everyone gives you filthy looks when you take too long at the counter and the people who work there always seem grumpy and never want to help you. So breathe, I'm sure you'll get your package eventually. What could be so important that you need to get all angry about it - you're getting something for free, you don't need to be rude about it.____Also, you don't need to start the insults. That's just petty.
Congratulations Cass, that's awesome! Uni is so different to high school but different in a good way, you have more free time and your not pushed to do your work like teachers at my school did, you either do it or you don't, of course it is advisable to do your work. There are also heaps of clubs you can join, so have fun!
