A New Beginning..

First day, first week, first lecture.. or was it? While the rest of my fellow JOUR1111 compatriots were eagerly awaiting their first Intro to Journalism lecture, I was on a bus on the way to the Mater Hospital. The most engaged I became with my journalistic qualities was interviewing a charming old lady on the whereabouts of Queensland X-Ray's offices. An engrossing experience, to be sure.

I quickly realised my absence would be anything but beneficial, so once back at college I called upon UQ's 105 mb/s internet and put it to the test; Lecture 1 notes acquired. The first slide provided an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. I'm a human being, I'm eager, I'm young, and sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, I want to have a good time. This, is what I want to do.

I liken this point in my life to a person climbing Mt Everest. You don't look at the mountain as a whole, but in stages. The summit of stage 1 is the base of stage 2 - I have just reached the summit of high school; stage 2, University, awaits.

BRING IT ON.
