I'm kind of freaking out. I mean university is something that we've worked towards for years. I dropped out in year 11, then came back and did both years in one, just to go to university and now I am about to start.
Its just a bit of everything combined, its so much bigger than normal school and the energy, especially at the ANU is going to be so different. Basically everyone there is going to be pretty smart, and I'm worried I am not going to be. The work is going to be more specialised too, I'm not good at spending a lot of time researching and regurgitating, I am more of a make my own things up and expand on them. I hope I do alright.
Then the money, i'm going to be in debt heaps, straight from the beginning (with HECS - or whatever its called), if I screw up its not just time I lose. I know you don't have to pay until your income is reasonably high, still it feels like more is on the line.
I'm worried I won't make friends, I've been told that university is only as fun as the friends you have. I'm not like socially retarded but I never seem to make friends with the right people, and two months on I realise I have nothing in common with them and would rather not hang with them and then have no one for a year. I get too caught up in my own head.
I guess its easier for me because I already live in Canberra, but unfortunately I had to chose this time of year to decide to move out of my current share house - so in ten days I'll be without a house. I really should have thought about the timing, but I am sure something will come up.
So is anyone else freaking out? I mean I am excited but apprehensive at the same time. Still, its always its always at the back of my mind.
