College
« on: August 06, 2008, 06:26:36 PM »
I'm starting college on the 8th of September..I know it's a month away but I thought I'd share it with you all anyway.

I'm going to the Australian College of Natural Medicine to get a Certificate IV in Massage Therapy...it's going to be a challenge for me because there's a tonne of anatomy and physiology theory, and I wasn't the best at biology in high school, so that means I'll be studying pretty hard...

It's fulltime and I'll be living at my dads as the college is in Brisbane, so I probably won't have much time to spare here.

I'm kinda excited but really nervous...it's in the city and I'm just a country girl that won't know my way around haha...but it's only for 6 months so I should be ok! Anyway..just wanted to tell you all..

Mm'kay. You have a good time, all right?

Don't forget about us completely, being so busy and all. :P

If you are not in my avatar, and would like to be, or if you changed your name and avatar and would like me to update it, PM me. I cannot add or change anyone at the moment as I lost the file I use for this, but if people still want in, I'll work on it.

I am RAFmarried to my sweet shnukums, Rachel. ;D

Good luck Kelly, I hope you enjoy it!  :)

Don't worry about RAF too much, we'll still be here when you get back! I understand how you feel though, as I was incredibly inactive on here for most of the 2 years I spent in college.

Farewell, Kelly! Enjoy college!
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

Best of luck! I'm returning to college next week. I'm Elementary Education myself. That's a lot of work there since I'll be starting my methods classes (how to teach subjects).

Personally, it's not that I don't care you're leaving, it's the fact that I don't think you're actually going away forever. I mean, I'm in college, and I still spend time on here almost everyday, despite the heavy schedule. College doesn't mean the end of everything. I doubt you'll be SO busy to the point that you'll never have the time to come on here anymore, even for a few minutes.

:confused24:

Saying that though, I hope all goes well at College :)

Good luck at college Kelly, don't worry, you can't stay away from the crazy addictive lure of RAF for long ^__^  You'll do fine, I was nervous going to college too, I went to a big school that was a bit far away from home, but you'll make friends and learn your way around like it's nothing ^^

Brisbane is majorly evil though, I've spent some time there.  Just...don't use the train-line between Southbank/downtown and the southeast suburbs after say 10pm.  Just a heads up.  It's like seriously teen-gangster stabby territory.

The buses are pretty safe.  But Brisbane's trains are a New-Zealanders-pretending-to-be-Crips nightmare.
