My Gap Year Journal
mango8:
Hey!
I am so excited to see the perspective of someone who's taking a gap year!! And I am really happy you got the job, I can think of few better places to work than a bookstore as a fellow book-obsessor-before VCE consumed my entire existence.
Remember, just before stepping into the store, just take a few moments to breathe, centre yourself and remind yourself of how capable you are to take this on! It's always scary at first, stepping out into the unknown is difficult but always worth it, because there is always valuable insight to be gained regardless of whether the experience was positive or negative. I think you'll have so many opportunities to learn and just enjoy this year!
Enjoy your sleepover and I'll be excited to see how your week went!

Thank you for your kind words of support! I will follow the advice because I'm a natural worry wart. Last year I found myself becoming more grounded if I kept a journal so I wanted to do something similar (no matter how boring my year may be).
I hope the sleep over will be fun, I think I'll miss my friends a lot.
On another note: I picked up my phone after about 5 hours and found someone had added me to a messenger group chat for all the people from my school going to uni at Newcastle. I was pretty shocked. I think half of the chat is going to uni this year and the other half next year. Maybe I'll make some more friends that I never really got to talk to in school.
Anyway, BAI

Write about anything and everything you want! It's funny, once school ends, that's it, you likely won't ever see the people you saw every single day for the past few years ever again, and sometimes, though you were in a class with someone for years, you may not really know each other at all. Hopefully you and your best friend can stay in touch, but also use this as an opportunity to find new people and form new relationships! The more you step out of your comfort zone, the more you'll be rewarded with people you can really connect with. Try lots of new things, explore and just have fun this year!! Excited to be a part of the ride!

So I had my first day of work today. It was pretty good except I'm pretty tired and my legs hurt from standing up all day. I haven't been this tired since the time I stayed up till 12 finishing an Engineering assessment.
Anyway. I feel like eating icecream. I'm going to go eat some ice cream.
