Firstly - I am 21 on Sunday. That's exciting. It's actually more exciting than any other birthday I've had. But also precarious. 21. Now even America thinks I'm an adult, I suppose I have some growing up to do. So, over the next year - some resolutions...
- Learn to drive (I will never own a car, but I am a failure in my family if I don't get these skills).
- Learn InDesign, the CAD programs and become AMAZING at creating and understanding Manual Drafting (because at the moment it looks like nothingness, and I want this as a career).
- Travel, everywhere, anywhere.
- Paradoxically, not quit uni because you're bored or need adventure. One degree, that's all I ask.
- Take up French.
Secondly - and much more interesting for you! Mon amour has a job! In Brisbane no less. He is an engineer in the city, all grown up, I am so proud and ecstatic he gets to stay. He is even now applying for sponsorship to stay long term. I will keep you all updated.
The (minor) downside of this is that he booked a one way ticket to France and I leased a '1 person only' place the week before we discovered he would stay. So I'm in a minor real estate rut. But, in reality, whatever. I am so happy I don't have to suffer the woes of having a partner on the other side of the world? Does that even work? I'm doubtful.
The other news is that my degree is thrilling but evil. I love and hate every second. The good news is that (so long as I pass!) I will be finished 1st year by November. That's very close. Cross your fingers ;)
Until next, besitos! x
