waiting...

woah! it took the nyc practice over 2 weeks to send out the contract to me! and even longer to send the visa documents over - which means they've missed the deadline for my visa interview with the american consulate in sydney!! *sigh*

it just feels like i've been waiting and waiting and waiting on others....

and now i'm waiting and waiting and waiting for my 4 weeks resignation notice to finish up at work... i wonder if other people also become un-motivated after their resignation...? i wonder who came up with the 4 weeks notice - 2 weeks notice is more than enough! hehe...

anyhow - things are gradually moving along, and I should be leaving for new york city in a month's time...!

growing up..

i've never been to the US before, and here i am applying for a transfer to new york city...! from what i've heard from most people, it sounds like my type of city... buzzing with electricity, great atmosphere, plenty of entertainment, great shopping...

i can't wait till i receive my contract, sign it, and start organising everything...! my big move away from home...

whilst i'm excited to go, i'm also nervous about leaving everything i know behind... i've lived my entire life here in sydney... and i still have my parents taking care of me... i still see myself as a dependent! i guess it's time to grow up - i'm almost a quarter of a century old! i think most people consider themselves as an adult already at this age, but i still feel so young and insecure...
i've always known that i would never grow up staying at home... and that it would be hard for me to leave home and become independent if i stayed in sydney... i wonder if it's the same for most people...?
