looking forward, looking back
Dec. 25th, 2006 10:11 amI've been kind of absent from lj for a while. It's not my fault, I swear!!! Last week, I worked every day from Monday to Sunday in the shop. It was kind of sad on the last day, because I've been working in cake shops/bakeries since I was 15, and that will probably be my last time ever in a cake shop.
Everything has all been about the moving on, recently. I had to say goodbye to the four year old twins that I babysit, and it actually made me cry.
I've been both looking forward, and feeling terrified, about what is going to happen next year. I will be glad to move back to Canberra, since it was always what I intended. But I just feel like the whole job thing is overrated, and that I would need another four years to be ready for it. I'd kind of like to have a few more years at uni, but not doing a phD (because I am too lazy to sustain that insane level of research for 3+ years!) I need to find another degree to do...
I had my birthday last week, and I got a fondue set, which disturbed me slightly. Am I really of the 'mad old lady with cats' fondue type? Anyway, when I can convince my mother to drive to Canberra, there will be a fondue party (I'm going to Melbourne first, and I can't carry a whole fondue set in my hand luggage onto the plane!)
Today is obviously Christmas, and my sister made me an awesome cd with a mixture of new stuff, and random songs from the 90s. I love it, so if you know what my taste in music is like, you'll cringe!!
Anyway, this is increasingly incoherent, so I'll leave it here.
