move to sydney

The move was worth doing for myself.

I am moving to Sydney in 4-5 weeks time. I have real reasons to move back to Sydney, and I do love the city. But the move will mean responsibility, and now that everything is somewhat set in stone. I have this urge to just book a ticket to a destination and not come back for a few years.

everybody has been telling me how fantastic melbourne is and how much i would fit in there . Ive never been though.

Last time i went to sydney for a holiday i loved it! i just felt at home . I went to the city part and the beach part(i forget what it was called) and also a fortune teller actually told me he could see me living there later on in life. Hope to get this apprenticeship over with so i can finally move there and be happy.

I love eveything about Australia…partly because it still feels a bit like England, but with better weather and a better quality of life! I love living in London and am definitely a city girl, so when I eventually do move to Aus, it would have to be to Sydney, and I would want to do it with the love of my life, to start a family there.

I’ve been at Melbourne University for the past 24 months after first moving down south from my hometown of Alice Springs at the beginning of 2006. All my highschool friends went to Adelaide… the study destination of choice for Alice Springs expats. I chose Melbourne because i was accepted into a residential college and I have some extended family here, and stubbornly wanted to buck the trend and “make the most of” good HSC results. Initially I found it a hard transition, especially the cold winter! At the end of my second year of study though, I am settled and happy in Melbourne and have met a lot of interesting people here… especially people involved in the arts.

The thing is, even though I’m finally settled in melbs, I am still questioning whether I am going to be able to pursue my dream of study here. I have never felt totally inspired at the uni, and my marks have been getting steadily worse… After going to Splendour in the Grass in Byron this year (with some Sydney friends) I checked out the city and Sydney University. I remember loving energy of the Syd uni campus and Newtown. Over the past 6 months, I figured that if I could move all the way to Melbourne alone and start out, I can move to Sydney and make it great. Maybe this was the preliminary change and Sydney is where I’m meant to be?

I think there is certainly something to be said for staying in one place and making the most of it, but i don’t want to feel tied down. The thing is, i have hardly told anyone yet, because my family here would think I was crazy for doing this… and I know that friends I have made here would be sad to see me go.
I am currently waiting for the UAC offers to come out. I’ve applied for a Bachelor of Arts/Master of Nursing at Sydney uni. But i’m under pressure to make a decision about where i’m going, cause I have friends who want to get share house together in melbourne and time is running out…

Any thoughts would be appreciated! ;)

well i went to sydney for work for 2 weeks and it was heaps fun and i loved it but melbourne is wayyyyyyyyy better and i just dont want to move to sydney anymore although i would go there again for sure

As soon as I finish my course at the end of this year, I will move to Sydney.

well i am a student that wants to move to sydney in 2008 just wondering if it is worth doing? i am a little scared to leave home and stuff but it is what i want to do…

not really sure if it’s worth doing. because im homesick as ** i love my life back home. well time will tell…

Well at least it’s one thing to tick off my list. I’ve now been living in Sydney for two months now, so far so good.
