Yesterday was the last day of semester. Everyone actually turned up to the lectures for the first time ever. Everyone was also actually nice to each other for the first time ever. Many great photos. I’m glad to be finishing, but I know I’ll sorely miss my friends. Now heads down for studying!

How I did it: Lost enough weight (6kgs), grown my hair out to just above shoulder length. Makes me look a lot more mature, and slimmer. Argh 150 character minimum though! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I guess uni and work helped. I just start going to bed whenever I feel sleepy, instead of forcing myself to stay up. I usually get up at the same time each day, even though class starts at all manner of hours. I usually go to bed around 11:30pm now, when last time I wouldn't go to bed before midnight, and get up at 6:30am each day. So, I've now reached the stage where, even if I sleep at different times the night before (this ma… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Challenging myself to walk to uni from the railway station as fast as possible. It's about 1.3km uphill with some stairs involved. Record time was 13 minutes. Also won't deny stress played a major role. Dropped from 58kg to 52kg (or 127lb to 114lb) within 3 months, and have maintained that weight ever since. Read how I did it…

Thanks to everyone who’s supported me in whatever way, be it a nice comment or a cheer, or even msging me. I’ve got my second job offer, and it’s a LOT more lucrative than the first. It’s the little brother/sister to one of the most established hospitals in Sydney (so I get to rotate between the two). So, having done 9 interviews with 2 concrete offers, and 2 in the works (I’m sure), that’s actually worth it. Don’t want to sound like I’m bragging, but I really feel I deserve to collect job offers like trophies after all this hard work.
A lot of people I know have at least tried moving out. The closest I’ve come to that was the July holidays this year, when I went on rural placement for 2 weeks, but my accomodation was organised for me and I was living with other people I knew.
Now it’s my turn, and it’s probably going to be the biggest effort out of everyone I know. Most people have moved maybe 20-30km closer to the city for uni, but this time, I’m staring down a 400km move to a rural town which I’ve only visited once, many years ago, and starting a new job (12 month contract). It’s going to be scary and stressful and massive, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it.
