Thursday 26 May
I moved out again yesterday. I'm not saying where because this is the internet, but it's with people I don't know. My first impressions are:

The girls are nice
Security is lax
It doesn't feel like home

The girls are nice which is definitely a good thing. I can only imagine that seeing as I live with them I will one day get to know them well. I am trying not to be against the idea, but I am. Hopefully I will change my mind.

Security is lax. My room has four windows that don't really lock properly and even if they did they're just made of glass and quite ample enough for someone to crawl through. I woke up at 4:30 this morning to go to work and the front door was wide open.

Like all new houses it doesn't feel like home. Except this one particularly doesn't feel like home. I think this feeling will pass as I get to know it better and fall in love with the cemetry. The cemetry (in a completely non-macabre way) was definitely a selling point for me because it is so beautiful. Another selling point was the cheap rent.

I didn't really look into the house properly before I asked to move in, so I've been greeted with all these wonderful surprises like a cubby house and dirt cheap long-distance phone calls.

I'm probably quitting my job today for the practical reasons that I no longer need it and it clashes with school and the impractical reason that I can't live up to their high standards and as such am paranoid that they are soon going to fire me. To make it up to myself I have set myself the tasks of learning how to live with other people and learning how to attend school regularly. I think that's enough for one year. I am almost regretting the idea of quitting a job that I actually like. These are somewhat rare. I am trying to think of a wonderful lie to tell my boss so that she won't be too disappointed and maybe I can work there in the future. I am torn between an exotic illness and that I won a scholarship to study in Europe (their school year starting in the middle of the year, yes?). If anyone has any ideas be sure to tell me.

Monday 9 May
If you're wondering why you can't reach me in the next week or so it is because I am frantically trying to move out by Thursday for my friends at Centrelink and I have a new job four to five days a week if I don't get it. This is exciting.
