A Week To Decide My Future

In less than a week the University offers for New South Wales come out. Will I get in? Maybe. Will I end up being offered nothing and be a reject? Maybe. What will I do, if for some reason I get an offer? Consider the offer and go for it leaving behind a good income, and many people who car so much about my well being (by that I mean receptionists of doctors surgeries). But what happens if I don't? I have no real clue! I've looked at the Tafe options, and they show real promise in what they offer, but the unfortunate thing about this whole ordeal at Tafe is the Semester 1 courses have closed, so all I have to do is wait until the Semester 2 places to open and grab a place where I can. Now to me, I'd prefer to go to Tafe and learn Horticulture than go through three years of University. So why the hell did I do that darn Pre-Uni course?? Cause I though a university degree would carry more options than Tafe, but when I look at it now I can see that Tafe offers a great course in Certificate 2 and 3 horticulture and I think it's for me.

Now, I don't really know how you guys can do it. I mean spending hours kooked up in a office all day long and not be out there in the elements living life. I think my father's blood (even though it's my mothers) runs through me with the fact I CANNOT be stuck in doors anymore these days. I spent 6 years working at KFC as casual and a year as fulltime, and I had to get out. Now, these days I spend my work hours outdoors walking a constant circle around the CBD servicing the many doctors that plague the many biuldings. You'd be amazed at just how many hidden doctors there are in these buildings, but back to my train of thought, I can't be indoors anymore. On the weekends I have to do something otherwise I get bored, just like my father, and it must be outdoors. Either riding my bike or going Geocaching, I just have to be out there...it's now just who I'am. I need a change for the bleak city scene to something more challenging and interesting. I want to get into Tafe and study my arse off and become something more crediable than a damn pathology courier for a company that has become one shitful company to work for. I've had enough but the whole catch that I have not mentioned is, I have $5k worth of annual leave up my sleeve and I want it! I need it! I do not want to give that up! So I need to get holidays approved, get enrolled into Tafe (or Uni depending) and leave my current job behind and move forward to an industry that is bound to be filled with hard work and sweat!

I complain and bitch cause I can. And I don't know if anyone reads this but I don't care. If someone does read this, all they will see is a man letting a bunch of interweb strangers read his thoughts.

David,

No matter what you decide to do with your life, I am here to support you.

I've known you for a while now, and I am confident that you'll do wonderfully in whatever you choose to do.

The interesting thing with us is that you love the outdoors, while I'd much rather lock myself inside and tinker with Eddie all day.

[For those who don't know, Eddie is the pet name I've given my computer. *hugs computer*]

But back to this. Just try your hardest, show your passion for work you love and everything will fall into place.

Good Duck with your offers!! :-)
