I agree - moving out will defs be scary + new, but why not throw in some adventure ;D I guess at uni you'd make a lot of close friends, so (hopefully) after a while you would have a pretty good support system there too!
Regarding ADFA, I'm planning to study civil engineering there. The first thing that interested me was that they pay you to study (you essentially get a free degree), which is pretty cool ;). But I looked into it further, and it honestly sounds perfectly suited to me. I love that on top of the usual academic life there's also the military side + fitness aspect. I really want to challenge myself personally and physically, and this is a great way to do that! Also their degrees are from UNSW so the engineering course is the same, which is great. What do you find interesting about international relations?

Wow!! I didn't know the ADFA was linked with UNSW! That sounds superrrr cool (no student debt too). The physical/military aspect is definitely a huge bonus - it's good to challenge yourself.
As for international relations, I really want to understand the world and global issues better. I've always loved history, law and politics so I think it'd be a good combination of them! And I have an aspiration of working for the UN, or some kind of international organisation. I also want to study it with Environment and Sustainability, because I really care about providing future generations with a clean and safe Earth! I feel like I could really make a difference by studying IR.

Wow that sounds amazing, super cool you could be working for the UN one day !
Definitely sounds like it would suit your subjects well too.

That's awesome, I think its super important in a job/career to be able to make an impact, definitely would be empowering and meaningful work!

I had my second day of actual school today! It was nice to see everyone, but tbh I wouldn't mind staying home a bit longer hehe.
One week left to go until my English assessment - no one really knows what's happening, since it was online but since we're going back to school next week, it might change. Either way, I've been neglecting English really badly, and our teacher is giving us until tomorrow afternoon to submit practice essays! I'm planning to write an essay tonight, and then edit another one that I have half written - hopefully I can get it done before tomorrow.

Wow, that sounds pretty hectic! Good luck with your essays, you're really lucky that your teacher is so open to accepting practice responses!

--- End quote ---
That's so cool! I'm applying to ANU as well, only for international security. TBH, the fact that it's interstate is one of the reasons I want to study there, since I want to get out of Sydney for a while. Accommodation was super confusing, but the application was otherwise really streamlined.
What sort of International Relations role do you want to do in the future? Diplomat, Politician, etc? It definitely seems like a field with a lot of potential.
