BLOG.

…because it’s Monday evening and I am eating muesli at home. I am reading the first few pages of One Hundred Years of Solitude, even though I know I won’t be able to finish it anytime soon. I am also finally starting my blog.

This morning, I picked up my passport from the Indian consulate. They were surprisingly efficient which was nice. However the drive there was not efficient because somebody led me astray and we ended up on a winding journey through some random Melbourne suburbs. I drove to uni and sat my finance exam early in a little office on the second floor. I recall writing 30 pages, so I guess it must’ve been ok. It was 36° outside today, but after 3 hours in that room I was shivering. I tried to change the setting on the air conditioning, but it seemed to have no effect.

After my exam I walked up to Parkville and smoked a cigarette. A little boy ran up and down the sidewalk trying to stomp on a sparrow, which kept flying away. He must’ve been about five. Wished I had my camera with me at that moment because there was something beautiful in his violence.

So I’ve finally cashed in my BHP shares, paid some bills, finished my muesli and almost finished packing. Apparently I’m carrying 5 kilos of someone’s stuff to Bangkok for them. I loaded 125 songs onto an iPod shuffle to take with me. My bag is heavier than it should be, but I’m ready to leave.

So welcome to my blog. Now Sabrina, where is yours?

The purpose of this space is threefold:

(a) To share some thoughts on Aiesec and other things

(b) Keep in touch with people whilst overseas

(c) Write down my deepest darkest secrets

Thanks for reading.
