Well... it's been almost nine months since I've posted.... I'm proud to say I now hold a diploma in Business Administration and I have enrolled for a Bachelor in Commerce with a double major in Marketing and Public Relations in Curtin University. So a big YAY and WHOO HOO to me!! Although I'll be spending one semester in Metropolitan College because I'm taking a twinning porgramme ( which I just found out today after my orientation which is so stupid because when I sent in my application the course structure stated that I'll be spending one year in Metropolitan and one year in Curtin. Now I'm spending like four months in Metropolitan and one and half years in Curtin!!) What a shocker!! I thought that I'll have more time to prepare myself for the study experience in Perth but apparently I'm wrong.
Honestly... I'm a little scared.... nope that's not the right word..... ah..... apprehensive will be the right word to describe the state I'm in right now. I'm a girl who is used to having everything(particularly household stuff) done for me. And now they tell me that I have like less than half a year to prepare for Perth!! I can't honestly say if that's a good thing or not. All I know is that I'm so confused!! And let's not forget how much stuff am I going to bring to Perth. Should I bring only the bare necessities?( which I have to admit it's quite a lot cuz a girl needs her stuff!!) The decisions I have to make is actually not the main issue because I have this sense of foreboding that my folks will have a problem with me going overseas. And a part of me is more than apprehensive that it'll suck balls there. But the bigger part of me that wants to fly away and be free (to a certain extent) tells me that I'll have to make this leap or I'll never do it. So I have a lot to think about and frankly I don't have much time because if I come to conclusion that I'll probably fare better locally,I'll have to switch courses. Which I fervently hope that I'll never come to that conclusion.
So all in all, I'm happy I'm done with my diploma. But now it seems I have a something more life-changing to think about. The question is not whether I'll flunk my ass out of Curtin. It's whether I'm ready to study in another country where I basically don't know anyone and I do mean ANYONE. So in this time period I have to make lots of friends in Metropolitan. That's quite a feat for me cuz how close can you get in four months??
In conclusion, I can't decide whether life is good or do I really need to reconsider my options which will mean I have wasted my time waiting to get into Curtin. Well... I can only say time will tell and hopefully I'll be happy with my decisions and I won't have any regrets.
