So I'm sitting at the new pad... which is NOT next to the sea.
'Great Scot!' I hear you say. 'What!? What are you going to do with yourself now that you're not next to the sea... surely at the very least you're going to have to change the title of your blog!!!'
Well to all those out there (well only so far one minuscule follower of this blog) I am not going to change the title of the blog... I like it... it works... deal with it! (Libby I am speaking to you at this point).
So anyway, time to write something interesting...
As I sit here on the ledge at my new pad I'm wearing only shorts and thongs. Now don't get all excited, thongs in Australia are actually sandals, or something close to resembling Roman Sandals for those non-Southern Hemisphere people out there...
Anywhoo, as I was saying I'm wearing fuck all, sitting on my ledge at 6pm. Brilliant. Absolutely Friggin Brilliant! So who the hell would want to go to another southern hemisphere country where it's unlikely I'd be A) Wearing just a pair of shorts let alone thongs! B) It's still completely sunny with barely a cloud in the sky at 6pm in the evening!?! Madness I tell you. Yet here I am telling everyone I'm going, I'm staying, I'm going, I'm staying for 6 months then going... All in the hope of getting some degree which is going to justify to myself that I am now an educated person and thus life will be sorted!
Now trust me I can understand the benefits of getting an education as much as the next non-educated person, plus throw in a couple of highly and averagely educated persons. Thus, I'm actively searching through my options in this area!
So in summation, at 21yrs the easy option is to continue in my current job where everything ticks along fine. Money's never really an issue, great new flat, live almost in the centre of town etc etc... Or should I go home/stay, work and study part time, or the third option try and get into a Uni over here and study full time?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!
Throw in a serious missus and massive benefits/losses (opportunity cost) of choosing to leave a country or stay... and also the fact I'm running out of time to make a decision!!
So, back to me sitting in shorts, wearing thongs and sipping on a Grolsch at 6:15pm in the sun at my new flat where the missus is happy and I have regular pay coming in.... either way, even if I don't make a massive life changing decision in time, the status quo isn't all that bad!
Till the next time...

Tell you what Beach boy, I totally know what you mean. Why would anyone want to leave this gorgeous place for NZ or the UK where there's nowhere near as much sun, surf or cash?
But sometimes, I guess there's always that other something that makes the decision difficult, even when you think the answer as to what you should do is pretty straight forward huh?
You'll figure it out. Good luck!
