Job news

That job that I went to the interview for... I got it.

So i suppose that makes me a fully qualified bona-fide grown up adult now. I should be upset that a part of me feels my childhood has well and truly been swept out from under my feet, but bizarrely, I'm not.

What's actually happened is that I'm happy that I've got security. I can start planning a family. I've been looking at getting a place of my own, sharing it with Adelaide of course, but buying rather than renting if I can get away with it.

I've also been looking at getting a new addition to my family, though, currently this is one with four legs rather than two. It's a very exciting prospect I can assure you.

And naturally, I've been thinking about all this 'settling down' business and marriage/engagement has entered my mind. I mean, once you plan the tangible things that you'd like to own, you start asking the question 'what else?" "What else do you want your life?" And the answer is inevitably, a family.

This weekend, I went out thursday night, friday night, saturday night, and came home early or didn't drink or decided I didn't even want to be out. My days of being a student are well and truly over. But i'll keep enjoying the life of a student until I move out in 2 weeks. I plan to go the beach and have a bbq at least once before I start the new job on 15th June.

What else? I hear you ask... Well, I don't know for sure at the moment. But i'm looking forward to finding out :)
