6 degrees
I didn't realize that it's been long since I last posted. I think it's all the drama in my life that is keeping me from doing anything else. Anyways I am not complaining I am kinda happy that I am busy and that has kept my mind of all things including the fast approaching date of my leaving the country I was born in to head to foreign shores with new people and new experiences.
The one question that everyone would ask me when I told them that I was moving to Oz for study was if I knew someone there. I obviously 'knew' all the people from Sydney who read this blog and that was it. I wanted to start my life from scratch in a place where I could be who so ever I wanted to be.
But life is strange. I met a local reader through this blog and through him caught up with an old acquaintance and finally ended up meeting Jughead (he is studying in Sydney too). So now I have one point of contact in Sydney and I guess I'll let the 6 degrees of separation theory to take care of things from there.
A lot still needs to be put in place before I leave for Oz. There is some paperwork with the bank and I have to say goodbye to my friends. Though there are just a few but I am not looking forward to it. I hate goodbyes!!!
The apartment hunting hasn't yielded any results as of now and I am dreading the prospect of moving into a house which though very near to my institute is shared by a few other students. I have been in boarding for about the first 10 years of my life and so it's not like I am alien to sharing my personal space with other people but I guess it's been long since I have had to do it and I would prefer something more 'private'.
A few weeks from now I'd be 26. That's another b'day and another stressful day. It doesn't help that it's also New Years the same day and I believe that the way my day shapes up is going to be an indication of the year to come.
