Reading jael's journal

My first year as a first year student if finally over, after gruelling hours in the dark room with my nostrils filling up with the fuming chemicals in the trays that is making the photographs that will soon enough tell me whether I have acheived what I have set out to.

Who would have ever thought university would be this demanding and flights without mini televisions is a flight not worth flying ( yes, I must admit - I'm one helluva spoilt brat and I like watching movies ).
After over 9 hours of complete ass numbness I have safetly arrived in Hong Kong minus the feeling left in any part of my body.

I look behind and even though this might sound as a complete and utter cliche, this year has past all too fast for me to even realize.
Yesterday I was on the plane to Melbourne beginning to live on my own and today I'm comming back home finishing my first year.

I didn't expect this but I missed Melbourne the second day I was here, and the constant sneezing and itchy eyes from the hay fever doesn't help one bit with making the stay here easier.

I miss my beautiful Erick, it's the most amazing feeling to be loved back. I have no idea how long this will last but for what ever time I have with him, I will cherish it.

Looking that the sophisticated buildings the hate I always had for Hong Kong quickly re-aquaints itself with me and at this minute I wish I was back in Melbourne.
I loved watching the leaves turn brown in Autumn and fall. Best of all i loved (and still do) walking or jumping over them. The crisp brown ones make a nice crunch sound.

Now I have look for a job, be an assistant to a photographer all for no money and the learning experiance provided. *with all my fingers and toes crossed* I have prepared to make my portfolio to show to some of the biggest commercial photographers.
Being nervous would just be the biggest understatment.

In anycase, wish me good luck and this is for my poking around NAO... it's almost over a years since I've been here.
