Well, even though it's gonna happen in 2 years from now but still, I guess I'd share my excitement with some people ovah teh internetz :3
Recently, by that I mean somewhat early this year I stumbled upon a website and found that the people over there were awesome, something that struck me was basically how rubbish it was where I lived in Malta and the fact that I don't really know the local language and have been given a fucker of a rough time because of it did not really help. So I want to get the hell out of here, my dream is to move to Australia and fuckin' live there. I have not been there, hell no one of my family have but the extreme religiousness of the whole damn place where I'm currently living in is just annoying.
When I told them I'm Agnostic they didn't care, they still drag me into their crap with total disregard as to how it makes me feel and that's going to be a boost into getting as far away from this rubbish place as possible. So how did the aformeantioned website aid in my motivation? They, some of which being locals, gave me tips and pointers and answered questioned I had that would have taken fucking ages to get from Google, hell probably not even looking through that would have given me the wanted info.
So what am I going to do? Well, hopefully build a strong enough friendship with the people there and hopefully until I get on my feet someone will take me in haha... highly unlikely but still, you never know. Along with the fact that I'm going to save money like a mother fucker and hell, not even go out aside from the fact that I got bored of going to the usual places and there really is nowhere new to go due to the tiny size of this place I got bored so I don't really go out much either way, though I do have friends.
Either way, I'm even lucky enough (for once) to have gone to a school that have a hand in hand agreement that allows the students the option of add 1 year to the time of their course to be part time student and part time worker. So at least I'll be getting the needed money and work experience while not stopping school completely. What am I aiming to be?
Simple really, a computer technician. While I do wish to become a hardware technical consultant at one point but that won't happen for a while. I do wish that I manage to make it in Australia and thankfully my family do support me going, kind of. They're worried about the fact that it's on the other side of the world and crap but aside from that, they're okay with it. Hell even if they were against it, it would just motivate me more.
The wonderful thing about the job I chose is that it pays well and it's a universal job. Let's face it, anywhere that has a computer, a computer technician will be needed. I already have a job that I started three weeks ago on monday and it seems to be going good so far. I passed the 'trial week' and they are gonna keep me for the year, I'm not too sure though if it'll be for the two years but still, I kind of hope it is because where I am it's basically good as it gets. The staff are indeed awesome and I'm working both on normal computers and servers. Well, more of an observer for the latter but still, at least I'm learning something new every day. That is basically fulfilling the main reason for the course so yeah. I feel pretty good that I'll manage to get enough money to get to Australia and live there. Perhaps not as good as I wish for the first bit and I'll have to get my bearings, try to find a job, get an immigration form done and bunch of other stuff. So even though the odds are probably stacked against me, I'll still give it a shot so at least I can say "Yeah I went to Australia, I failed at manging to actually live there but at least I did go there." While I do actually hope to manage to live there and perhaps get me a girl at one point.
Still, I'm going to try and save every single damned penny as to have something nice at the end of these two years, sure birthdays and christmasses will indeed dig a hole in my pocket but if I just ask for money to help aid my in my quest to go somewhere else. That should balance it enough, hell they'll probably even give me a bonus for when I'm about to leave or something of the sort. Though for a while, I just need luck to be on my side out of all these years where it has not exactly been my friend but still.
