Would I be totally crazy throwing this away?
On a whim, a month or so I applied to Swinburne Uni for mid year entry into a Bachelor of Design, in Multimedia studies. I found out last night I was accepted. It’s something I’ve always been interested in doing, and I’m not happy in the course I’m doing right now. I don’t think I can hack another 4 years of pretending to be interested in biomolecular chemistry and the history & philosophy of science. So basically… the question is… do I pay to study something I’m pretty sure I’ll enjoy, or do I continue with a scholarship in a course I’m no longer really interested in?
Meh. So many decisions! I wish someone else could make my life changing choices for me, things would be so much easier!

Its too hot. Its 35degrees celcius and my pool isnt even clean. I finally cleaned my room :) Its even vacumend. Mum and dad arnt home. They have gone Christmas shopping. My report still hasn’t arrived. It should come within the next couple of days. Im kinda looking forward to finding out what i got. :) We aren’t goingt to see American Pie 2 anymore because the cinema wont let us in because we are only 14 and you needd to be 15. So now we are going to see that Drew Barrymore one, Riding in Cars with Boys. blah. ITS TOO HOT and I AM ALL OUT OF COKE.
I was looking through some of the files I have stored away on CD’s and I came across what I think is one of my earliest weblog entries ever! To put it simple, I was a whiney 14 year old caffeine addicted teenybopper… who had yet to discover Word’s spellchecking capabilities.
Anyway… I’m still slightly flabbergasted by the fact I’ve been posting snippets of my life on the internet for over 6 years! I’ve been flicking through some of my older entries (the ones I no longer actually have on the internet due to them being incredibly embarrassing) and I saw myself grow from the cola fueled teenybopper who couldn’t spell to the slightly saner person I am today.
Hating school, #protag, falling in love, breaking up, moving out, changing friendships, liking school, year 12, falling in love again, Nan & Mitch passing away, getting into uni, moving to Melbourne… It’s all there.
I was thinking of closing nadinerine.com, I’ve been telling myself for the few months that I’ve outgrown this whole blog thing. However, I’ve now realised I can’t. I want to be looking back at the posts I’m writing today in another 6 years. Some people write journals. I write in my blog, and I’ve finally figured out why… I do it for the memories..
I grew up with the internet, it will always be a part of my life. It’s a part of who I am.

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 20. Which of course meant birthday drinking was in order. I’ve been working so many hours lately it was nice to have a bit of a break and just be able to relax. It was absolutely awesome to catch up with a few of the friends I haven’t seen in a while! Let’s just say we drank a bit & played some pool. When that pub closed we migrated to an even better pub, where we drank some more, played some foozeball, drank even more, and then we proceeded to discover the toilet doors were freshly painted in sticky, bright red enamel paint!
I just want to thank everyone who sent birthday wishes my way and/or came along to celebrate with me last night. You guys rock. Lots. :)
The text message I recieved from my little sister Nicky at 1 am a few mornings ago:
Its your fault i quit school. When you put me in the cloths dryer when i was 2 you scared my for life.. Thanks sis!
As much as I dislike Mildura as a place to live and as much as I absolutely love my life in Melbourne; I do find myself missing my family like crazy sometimes. Random text messages like the one above from my little sister Nicky (and even my mum sometimes) always manage to make me smile. :)
I turn twenty on Monday. Man I feel old.
I love you beautiful!
Today is mine and Adam’s two year anniversary. Yes, Adam has actually managed to put up with me for an entire two years! Pretty cool if I do say so myself, I’m not the world’s easiest person to live with! ;)
I’m in Mildura for my mum’s birthday, and to hang out with my family for a bit.
It’s been so long since I’ve had something that resembles a break! :D Six days of not having to go to work… I don’t know what to do with myself. :)
Edit @ 10/04/07 1:55pm: I’m so bored already.
