Last night I decided that I’d had enough of the city for a while, so I booked a flight home Sunday morning. A couple of times recently I’ve felt rather suffocated by the city and where I live. Mostly when I’m feeling a bit blergh and I want my music up really loud and stuff. I can’t do that here. The IT Faculty has the week off next week due to APEC, so I figured I might as well take advantage of it. Probably come back for work Thursday.
This Saturday I’ll probably go to the UNSW Open Day. Recently I’ve been thinking that I’m not so sure if I want to continue doing an IT degree and go on to have a career in IT. I mean, sure I like IT, but it doesn’t tend to challenge me or make me think all that much, if at all, which is something I really need. So I was kind of considering an Arts/Science (Physics) course at UNSW. Probably not, but I’ll check it out and see what I think.
Yeah, the city can be ’suffocating’ at times. I’ve been weighing up the convenience benefits versus everything else. Hence my constant looking at rental prices in suburbs just a little further out.
And good luck with the open day! And heading home! Even if I’ll tell you that elsewhere, anyway.
Heh, it’s not just ‘the city’, it’s anywhere within a good 40 odd kilometres of it. At least. I’m used to living on a large block, with no neighbours terribly close, in a large house. And I had access to a car. No inner suburbs of Sydney could come close to the space I had back home. They wouldn’t be much different to here…
Hmm, I see. Well, you can get out of an *apartment* in the inner suburbs, but that’s about it.
You might enjoy the road trip for that reason exactly, actually. Lots of wilderness and space. Sadly, the car doesn’t have sound worth cranking, but… arrangements can be made.
