I just need a break.
So, after a long, long day at school which finished at 1630 because of a meeting I didn't realise I had today, I'm finally home.
Finally home.
Finally home at about 1740.
I gave mum a quick text saying I was taking a 1645 train home and almost nodded off on the train. Anyway, I get off at Station Road... she's not there. So I think, okay then, if I don't see her car at Kohima, I'll just walk home. I really need some headspace.
Sure enough she wasn't at Kohima either, but that was okay. So I just walked all the way from Station Road up Broadmeadows with my heavy heavy schoolbag on my back, listening to my iPod all the way through (throbbing 'techno' OCReMixes are good at pushing everything out of one's head. Also are very nice to listen to).
(There was a guy that I was sort of semi-following on the way back, he also lives in Broadmeadows it seems.)
Somewhere around two to three KM later, I'm back home. Mum got a shock when I rang the doorbell and she came to see who was at the door (I don't have a house key). She said she didn't get my text.... then from the kitchen we hear a text tone and Dad says "You got a text". Thank you, technology. I could've called but walking's free.
That walk was good for me both mentally and physically. I need the exercise and I need some alone-time just doing nothing. My brain's been running around in circles lately and I'm really stressed out with work and school and committee stuff and more, but that's probably my fault.
Moral of the story: If you're gonna take on responsibilities, start early. Or else it'll come back and bite you in the butt.
Meanwhile, I'm definitely going to Vic. Uni next year (granted that I pass my exams, that is). I've been up there for the Open Day and just this weekend to play some Table Tennis (the bats are in terrible condition - bringing my own next time). I'm really looking forward to the University atmosphere and being around - don't be offended guys, but - normal people for a change, if you get what I mean.
Like... at work. My workbuddies are normal (relatively), and I get along really well with Adam (6'6"!) who I can geek out with on gaming and music from time to time :)
I've been through the Vic. Club booklet and I've already marked a few of the clubs I'd like to join, hehe. I'm also looking forward to... 'growing up', I guess you could say. I dunno. I'm not in a hurry to grow up (far from it sometimes) but I'm looking forward to this part of being an 'adult' and things like that.
Well, I guess that's all for now. Catch you guys on the rebound. :)

I reckon you'll do well at uni, and I live just around the corner, so maybe I'll steal ya for a bit >:3
Still, it's neat that you will be out at Vic next year if you pull off the exams and all. I may not see you much since I will have classes at Karori, but all the same! XD
I'm drowning. And yes Mum. It's my fault for not getting organised early enough! Happy?
I just feel like there are never enough hours in the day to do all that I need, and worst of all, I just can't find the motivation! :(
Uni is gonna be the BEST. I can't wait XD. But did you mean "Going to Vic. Uni THIS year"? Or is that a typo?
xx Manda
Oohhh, God, amen thousandfold T__T When you're so bogged down it's so hard to say 'yes! Let's do this!'
.....oh yeah XD That's a typo. I'll change that... but I have to apply at the endish of this year anyhow so ya know xD
xxoo
And hey - I take no offense just to let you know - but you could probably refer to them as 'people who have different interests than me', because that fits better than 'normal'. I know what you mean though.
Stepping out of the comfort circle to talk to people that you don't already share a big common interest with, right? (:
Boy do I need the holiday... When I next get to talk to you, I MAY have some exciting news ;)
