Music of the Soul: A Final Sunset

Summer is drawing closer and closer to a close and soon classes will start back up again. I wonder whether this summer has been as memorable as the last three or not. I can remember my last three summers vividly, so much stuff happened in both of them, and this summer feels monumental, but not memorable. Like, I know that moving into my new place here in Wagga is something that is going to impact on the rest of my life, just as last years move did, but nothing truly memorable, except perhaps my first trip to Western Australia happened.

In other news, I now have a halfway decent internet connection up and running, so I feel so much safer knowing that we have a dedicated internet service running. Means that when Uni starts in a fortnight that both Ned and I will have the resources we need, even if we do not yet have a computer each, to do the things we need.

I finally got my phone bill paid off *jumps for joy* with Ranbir paying me my bond not a day after I asked for it from him, which is great. I really needed that bill off my back and both my old roomies came through with flying colours, I'm a happy camper.

What else is new. Nell got her massage course. I have complete faith in her ability to acheive the results that she wants from this course. We both know it's not an easy course and it's going to require a lot of dedication on her part to succeed, but I know my girl and I know she will do everything in her power to make this opportunity happen for her. This was a lucky break to get into the course she was looking for and I'm sure she's got what it takes to make it, regardless of the opinions of others.

Ned is going to be moving her permanently in a fortnight as O-week starts and he gets into uni life. I must say that looking back over two and a half years of journal entries, the day I saw Ned walk into the same university as me didn't seem like it was ever going to come, but between myself and his family, we gave him the push he needed to get him here, I just hope to the gods that this is what he wants. I can't help sensing a certain melancholy over the boy since we signed on this place, like a great deal of his freedom has been removed from him. I hope we did the right thing.

Anyways folks, I have plenty to be doing and a hot spell just swept over this part of the unit, so I am afriad I must depart. I'll see thee all anon.

"Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you,
surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from
taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you
are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You
always have a choice and the choice can be power."
