31.12.2009 - New Year’s Eve
I know it sounds so cliché, but I just can’t believe this year is already over. Even though loads happened this year it still feels like it hasn’t even really started yet. And when I out it, it pretty much feels like yesterday, when we had that big party 1999/2000 at Cora's house, and that is like 10 years ago…
Well, it’s like 4 in the afternoon now, and to be honest I have no idea what I’m gonna do tonight, yet. This morning I spontaneously bought tickets to this festival, that is gonna be on tomorrow. So I guess tonight, the party’s not gonna be so big… we’ll see. Right now I’m sitting on our balcony. It’s pretty damn hot here today, probably like 35 degrees. Everyone’s back from wherever they were around Christmas and the house is really busy right now. Our room is full again, as well. It is kinda exhausting sometimes to room with five other girls, I must admit. Everyone is on totally different schedules, some coming home in the middle of the night, cuz, they’ve been working at a bar, others have to get up at 6 in
the morning… I think as soon as I have a proper job (or at least a job that pays well), I’ll start looking for my own room.
Speaking of which: I went looking for a job yesterday. Pretty much looked like this: I went into every single café, bar or store on Smith St. and Brunswick St. and asked them whether they needed someone. At two places, I actually got to talk to the manager. In total I dropped about 13 resumes off… Pretty much everyone ‘will get back to me..’ Let’s see, if that happens. No, actually I am pretty positive about some of the places, and I mean, there isn’t gonna happen anything before NY anyways, so I’ll just sit here and wait for now. But I got asked funny questions, like “Are you experienced in sandwich-making?” Excuse me??? How much experience does it take to make a sandwich or a coffee or to pour a drink??? As far as my ‘proper job’ applications go I have written three already and just need to have them looked over and then send them out, but again, nothing’s gonna happen till Monday anyways… Got pretty burned yesterday on my
journey as well. In the morning it wasn’t that hot, so I only put some on my face and forgot about the rest of my exposed skin… like my back. It’s not that bad, but definitely taught me a lesson. Never got burned on the day before NYE before, though, which is kinda funny I guess :o)
Other than that last week was pretty quiet, except for this awesome party we went to on Sunday. I wasn’t really planning on doing anything, just met up with two friends for dinner and they told me about this Psy-Trance gig that was supposed to be on that night - some dutch DJ. I spontaneously decided to join them and it was so worth it. I don’t think I ever danced 6 hours straight ever before. It was awesome. Well, except for my entire body was sore like hell for like three days after. Only got better today. First signs of getting old ;o)
Is this the time where I’m supposed to reminisce about the past year??? Well, I guess it is. Even though I don’t wanna get too personal, cuz I know there’s a lot of people reading my blog
that I don’t even know… If this past year needed a headline it would probably be “Nothing’s constant but change.” I don’t think in any other year before I’ve made so many conscious changes to my life. Awesome things happened, bad things happened, people left my life and new people came into my life. I did some things I am proud of (e.g. finishing my degree, travelling through India on my own), some things that were pretty stupid (e.g. getting drunk too often :o)) and one thing I regret deeply (not to be mentioned here). Some people may call the decisions I made this year stupid, others may call them brave. I haven’t decided yet, I guess I’d go for adventurous :o) No, seriously, mostly I feel very good about my life, but like now, I’m pretty homesick for like the first time since I left Germany. Well maybe not the first time, but I really haven’t been homesick a lot. But as everything that feeling will pass eventually (as Buddha says ;o). The thing about Australia as opposed to India is that a lot of people who are here are traveling in groups, so even though you get to
meet heaps of people, the encounters are often very superficial. I guess I miss India a lot and all the awesome people I met there. I just wanna thank my friends and my parents for making 2009 the year it turned out to be. I love you guys!!! Wow, that was so very cliché again... And it sound shallow... So I'm gonna cut the crab now :o)
So instead of posting recent pics I decided to put up some awesome pics from this year, before I started my travels. Anyways, I hope you guys are having fun with whatever you’re doing. I’ll let you know what my NYE and NYD ended up being like… I wish each and every one of you an awesome new decade!
Hugs and Kisses <3<3<3
